chilledbear 16 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=2986&newsID=13171&newsCategoryID=1 In response to recent speculation and comments made by Dundee United officials, the Scottish FA is compelled to clarify the club’s ticketing allocation for the forthcoming William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final between Rangers and Dundee United at Ibrox. At the pre-operations meeting held on Tuesday, 11th March, Dundee United were made an initial offering of 11,063 tickets, allocated in the entirety of the Broomloan Road Stand, the Govan West corner and a section of the Govan Stand Front and Rear. The number was offered on the basis of Dundee United’s ticket sales for recent semi-finals. For last year’s semi-final against Celtic at Hampden Park, with a 12.45pm kick-off, Dundee United received an allocation of 10,686 tickets and sold 6783. For the 2010 semi-final against Raith Rovers at Hampden Park, with a 3pm kick-off, Dundee United were allocated 11,806 tickets and sold 9969. The Dundee United official present stated that in order to ensure a maximum attendance, in the first instance the club would not require the additional allocation in the Govan West corner, Front and Rear and, instead, would prefer the Broomloan Road stand, capacity 8012. He was invited to revert to the club for confirmation but declined. Notwithstanding the present allocation of 8012 – as requested by the club – Dundee United retain first option on the Govan West corner, and a section of the Front and Rear, an additional 3051 seats. Should the club a) request that additional allocation and b) sell it, then there remains the opportunity to extend the allocation subject to agreement between the clubs and the relevant police and stewarding advice. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You have to laugh. Can't sell out a semi final for two seasons at 11k and now want 25k tickets. They are lucky to be getting more than 10k. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 They might actually be lucky to sell their Broomloan allocation, especially since some of their fans will consider boycotting the game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amms 0 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Someone has to call for Stephen Thompson's resignation over this. He clearly knew what his club had been offered and then requested, he then publicly lied about it. He's their Chairman, he's supposed to lead by example. That's a disgrace. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 What we should all remember is that we are the only party not involved in this spat. We have Dundee Utd, the SFA and the combined intellect of the Scottish Media. They should really take a good look at themselves. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
