To be fair I don't think even Russ Richardson would suggested signing Brian O'Neill for 850k
I see the tims are now selling tickets for the West Stand. FFS how many have we sold??? 12000
AFC apathy.
The club reaps what it sows
We'll just be using the 14,000 originally given and not taking up the other 3000 we had the option of.
Being pedantic maybe, but aesthetically, would it not have looked better if we'd been given half of the North Stand round to the West Stand, and given the Dhims all of the South Stand and the East?
Would have been my preference but it will suit the weegie agenda that all that TV will show will be green and white clad fans.
Realistically would have more segregation issues as Celtic would end up with some of West Stand as well given how few tickets we have sold
14,000 is not bad for a Sunday afternoon semi final against a team we haven't beaten, in a meaningful game for both teams, in around three years
Stating the obvious but a cheeks game at Hampden doesn’t share the West Stand. The issue becomes access to toilets, food kiosks etc. As I’m sure you know when they share the North Stand there are metal barriers that are closed to keep fans apart at back of stand. Given all the crap going on in Scottish football this season the last thing plod will want is having to put 50 polis at the back of the West Stand to keep fans apart (not that I particularly think us and Celtic fans would need keeping apart but plod would take no chances)
Just to be clear I know we will share the West Stand this time but there’s a difference when we are not the jam in a Celtic sandwich if they got half of North Stand and the furthest round part of the West Stand
