EddardStark Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 They're not expecting much over 20000 today which will be a terrible visual for our game. Appreciate some games will have a premium demand but I am certain Easter Rd would have sufficed today. Is it so wrong to have games where ticket demand exceeds demand?

DaveyDenoon Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I think that Hampden should be used for finals only anyway and no semi should ever get played there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Somewhere like mcdiarmid would be ideal in terms of logistics. Pittodrie, Easter road or tynecastle are the only stadiums outside Glasgow that are really suitable size wise, more so if Celtic or Rangers are involved. Finals should always be at Hampden, semis maybe on a case by case? Speaking of logistics, I presume the team travelling from the north have the north east area of the ground?

ibelieve!!! Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Whole west stand empty. North looks like it will be full. East half empty. South, not sure as I'm sat in it and can't make it out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the distances involved that would have been fairer but there seems to an unwritten rule that certain teams will not be asked to play semi finals outside the central belt.

Pittodrie would be fine. Didn't really want to make it an issue about the game today specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for Ross County & ICT in particular their semi finals should be at Pittodrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) The difference in capacity between Pittodrie and easter road is minimal. There was no reason whatsoever why Caley had to travel to Edinburgh to play hearts twice in a semi final. The argument about hearts taking more fans doesn't hold up. Also if say there was a 20,000 seater stadium in Inverness would hearts still bring 15k fans up to a Sunday lunchtime game live on tv? Not a chance. I'd imagine you would get a massive support from Caley or any team if a semi final was played in their own city.

kumnio Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I don't think it was a penalty, or a sending off. There was minimal contact, if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Celtic;s defence is really, really rank. They're now stronger without Ambrose though. Rasellik are lucky they've got The Thumb, or they'd be battling Killie for relegation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 They were like statues for the penalty decision. Still expect them to win here. County are sitting very deep and seem to panic any time it comes near their defensive third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are joking but will he miss Wednesday? I thought it was only violent conduct you miss the next domestic game, regardless of the competition?

Angus_Young Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 1-1 half time. Both teams equally pish in the first half. County especially have been very wasteful when in decent positions. Mis-placed passes, poor control and long balls from both sides. Griffiths could probably be happy enough with his shift but apart from him there is no real quality on show.
