More galling is the fact he’s not a supporter of either & is an Orcadian (I think?) The older I get the more I dislike everything about football in this country. 1 Link to comment

Rangers FC died in 2012. Died as in dead, defunct, ceased to exist, are no more, etc They let their Club die. 1 1 Link to comment

G man Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 4 hours ago, Dom Sullivan said: 50:50 allocation rejected. (not that we’ll sell them anyway) Fuck the SFA 50:50 was not rejected by SFA. They stated that Aberdeen and Hearts would have to pay for their 50% allocation even if they did not sell the tickets . Hearts accepted that and are getting a 50:50 split of tickets. We turned it down so it was us who refused the 50:50 split. I am no fan of the SFA but can understand their logic. Empty seats are loss of income so understand why that condition was made.

redcryptoknight Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 So when Hearts said they had to make a really strong case to secure the 50/50, what they mean is that they had to pay money? Fucking hell. Link to comment

The FMB are totally dillusioned requesting a 50/50 split they are so out of touch of current fans feelings right now I am with Westhill, be lucky to shift 10K and that's very ambitious Link to comment

Fucking hell. Yes they have committed for paying for their full allocation. I can see the logic of it from the SFA point of view. Unsold tickets is lost revenue to the SFA not the clubs unless they do that. Link to comment

There wouldn't be unsold tickets though, we'd be returning what we didn't sell which would be given to the tims Link to comment

Tord31 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Surprised Celtic didn't push for 50/50 to cover their arse incase they cant shift 35,000 Link to comment

Could have taken them and sold them back to Celtic at a premium. Disappointed that the club aren’t using this sort of out the box thinking. The SFA blackmailing clubs over ticket sales is unacceptable, and I’d go as far to say even worse than giving one team a reduced allocation while the opposition gets “their” end. But nothing will happen. Link to comment
Snelders Snottters 89 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Makes it even more of a joke that the club asked for a 50,50 split. Club hasn't a clue no chance in a million years world we take 20+k to a semi v smeltic considering the state we're in in the leauge. I FUCKING hate the board and many of the players 1 Link to comment

But nothing will happen. The SFA have just called our bluff to be honest. We could have had the same allocation as Celtic but we turned it down. I am anything but an SFA fan but on this occasion they are right. Those two having “their” end should stop and teams should be allocated the end that goes with being the home or away team as determined by the draw. Link to comment

They have traded sporting integrity for their own convenience. There is no reason we couldn’t be given half then given back most of them in 2 weeks time when we don’t sell them. Celtic would still be able to sell them in that time. Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Shinnie will be a massive loss. Hope it won't be 2011 all over again for the fans, many leaving really early. Think i did 80 mins in total(20 + 60) for those two semi-finals. Link to comment
davierobb Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Shinnie is a massive loss but self inflicted as he should not have got himself booked against Bonnyrigg. Stupid yellow. Link to comment
The Gee Man Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 So in reality with Sevco out of Europe the sfa could have waited made the Edinburgh/Glasgow travel on Saturday at 12.30 kick off! Much easier to do and we could have had the Sunday slot and possibly more likely to sell our 50% share. It’s the ridiculous lunchtime kick off that caps numbers 1 Link to comment

It’s the ridiculous lunchtime kick off that caps numbers We are never selling 50% against Celtic at Hampden. I've been to every game we've played them at Hampden since 2011 var the covid SF and we've lost every one. It's approaching double figures. This is an occasion where I don't blame supporters not spending their cash to go. 1230 KO in Glasgow, a bunch of players who've chucked it, against a team we have a terrible record against overall, especially at Hampden. Played them there 7/8 times since 2011 and failed to take them to extra time even once. The people that do go are daft! Unfortunately, I agreed to a space on a bus after last week. Link to comment

We definitely won’t sell 50%. We might sell 50%. It should be fairly distributed and we decide this. The sfa should not rig the crowd beforehand. They influence refs and var does not help. It’s a principle thing imo. Even Caley should initially get 50% and they decide what they can achieve. A principle is a principle. 2 1 Link to comment

I can't remember what thread it's in or what his nickname is but some twat came out with the myth about Brockville saving us from relegation. Absolutely no way he's a red coming out with an anti-Aberdeen trope like that. 2 Link to comment
