Scottish Cup Replays


Recommended Posts

I cant believe Dunfermline and Hibs have to go back to Hampden for a reply. This should have been decided on the day just like the FA Cup semi between Chelsea and Blackburn.

 

But the decision to take them back to Hampden for a reply is nonsense, they should surely be going to Tynecastle. There was only 25,000 at Hampden so the atmosphere would have been terrible and quiet, but they could fill Tynecastle and have a great cup atmosphere as there is a place in europe for the winners of this game!! - Those running our game couldnt run a bath.

 

They are screening the reply live on TV and due to it being a midweek tie they expect a lower crowd at the game. This is nuts. They cant even suggest simple things to raise the crowd and revenue like -

1) let those who were at the first game in for half price as long as they produce there original ticket.

2) Those who produce there ticket can bring a mate who gets in for a tener

3) Let kids in for a fiver

4) Allow local schools into the East and West Stands (which are closed coz Hibs and Dunfermline cant fill it) in for a quid.

5) Families can buy 2 tickets and the kids get in free

 

All this sort of thing above creates more revenue and a better atmosphere.

Yeah but remember it';s the SFA we are talking about here, they cant think of any of these

 

How good is it but when you go to a semi final and it goes into extra time, its exciting it pumps the fans up, making it a reply makes it dull.

Its much better, plus in a small ground like tynecastle it would be pumping, and the game would be fast and furious but at hampden it will be like playing with mute on

That's the SFA though, about 10 years behind the English FA in terms of ideas.
