SFA respond to Celtic comments re Cup Final allocation of tickets

[ed_Scottishfitba1]

The Scottish FA notes the comments made by Celtic Football Club in relation to the William Hill Scottish Cup Final ticket allocation.

The allocation of tickets has been handled in full consultation with both participating clubs and the available seating at Hampden Park will be split on a 50/50 basis, as has been standard practice in previous cup finals where a sell-out crowd is anticipated.

It should also be noted that one of the reasons Celtic will potentially receive fewer tickets than Aberdeen is that the East Stand, Celtic’s preferred stand for Scottish Cup matches at the National Stadium, contains fewer seats than the West Stand.

In addition, the ‘football family’, made up of Scottish FA members, commercial partners, other recognised football organisations and staff, have the right to buy match tickets for the final.

This has impacted on the number of tickets the clubs will receive to sell to their supporters with demand for tickets in the Celtic areas outweighing that of the Aberdeen areas.

What a load of hot air.
Simple question...
Will Celtic receive less tickets than the glory-hunting also-rans?

[Airdrieman]

Well, you could just swap ends and that'll be that.

No glory hunters in the Celtic support?

Unlikely... my next visit to Scotland will not be until next year... by chance my last two trips (apart from a fortnight ago) have coincided with a couple of doings for Aberdeen...
