Topic: Tickets sold
61. Author: twin par Date: Tue 31st Mar 2026. 22:08 Yes,I think the authorities need to think this out. Depending on who gets through to semi finals,alternative venues should be considered. Is that too sensible? 😅 But I suppose the hospitality and sponsorship has to be considered. Post Edited (Tue 31 Mar 22:11) Reply
62. Author: DA-go Par Adonis Date: Tue 31st Mar 2026. 22:49 If there are more people at the game than Tynecastle or Easter Road can hold, then surely it is at the right venue. Pretty pointless locking people out just for the sake of it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equal rights and justice in this time Reply
63. Author: neils Date: Tue 31st Mar 2026. 23:04 Yes, but the real reason is SFA own Hampden now, not Queens Park, for whatever reason they have to use it as much as possible - 10 games a season? It`s not much, personally I think it`s a white elephant, it`s not a great stadium. Personally they should have sold it and used the money to twin with SRU and redeveloped Murrayfield, which is also a bit of a tip. Won`t happen, but it`s a white elephant. I prefer it at Hampden purely because it gives everyone a chance to watch if they want. Reply

Especially when Chris Kane knocks his third in and everyone goes home having had a transcendant experience. Reply

Agree with all of what you say Neils, however the reason the SFA (say) they have to use it, is to generate enough money to pay off the running cost of it, along with the debt for renovating it all those years ago. When Stewart Regan announced the SFA’s purchase of Hampden, he spoke about it then, I think the loan (especially for the South Stand), isn’t cleared until 2035 from memory.

70. Author: shellypar Date: Wed 1st Apr 2026. 13:34 would it cause issues if u didnt go back on the bus though? COYP Reply
71. Author: SusieQ Date: Wed 1st Apr 2026. 13:37 Cup semis won`t be at any other ground for the foreseeable future now that the SFA have bought Hampden. Utterly foolish to think otherwise tbh! Great that we have sold our initial allocation - hopefully get a good chunk of extras sold too 🏁🏆 COME ON YE PARS! Post Edited (Wed 01 Apr 13:38) Reply
72. Author: DJAS Date: Wed 1st Apr 2026. 14:43 shellypar, Wed 1 Apr 13:34 would it cause issues if u didnt go back on the bus though? Wouldn’t imagine so if you are paying for it. Probably letting them know beforehand so they aren’t waiting on you coming back Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply

The biggest crowd I’ve been to at tynecastle was when we played Portugal in semi final of world youth cup. 29,000. THAT was a full house. Bouncing. Reply

76. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Wed 1st Apr 2026. 17:32 Any idea of crowds for St Johnstone and Hibs, both in Scottish Cup and at Tynecastle? Reply

St Johnstone 14268 and replay 9845 in 1968 I would add transport would have been a nightmare for a replay for both teams in 1968 getting home.

80. Author: neils Date: Wed 1st Apr 2026. 17:54 I remember that Airdrie game well, plenty gaps in the terracing, not sure how you could have thought it was anywhere near a full house.The final was a pretty low crowd too mind you I`m not sure why people are thinking that semis should be played anywhere other than Hampden considering the SFA stupidly bought it.Its empty and unused enough as it is. One guy said we should build a stadium in Stirling...why?? Where does the £400M + cost come from? Reply
