Scott burns on Twitter suggesting we're only getting 16000 tickets Also that we're opening contract talks with Maurice Ross

Both myself and my other half have ST so possibly able to get 8 tickets between us. I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of guys/girls on here in a similar position and things can be worked out privately between individuals. for certain no smellik fans will get near to those tickets.

Thanks Leeann, as I'm sure you've noticed sometimes on here in the immortal words of Bartholemew J Simpson your damned if you do and damned if you don't. Personally I'm delighted at the opportunity of a pre sale and you're right I would've been really pissed off had that not been the case. As regards segregation issues I would have thought that opposition fans who are in amongst our fans at hampden would have to be removed by the stewards/police at the ground as that would be a potential security issue for which they woud need to be responsible.

I think its only fair that ST holders get first option, although there will be many PATG fans who have made the same financial outlay the difference is that we do so before the season starts and that money is spent irrespective of how the team performs throughout the campaign. E.G. A person chooses not to buy a ST and we have a mare of a season, that person may decide they have had enough and go to fewer games that season therefore not making the same commitment. ST holders miss out on occasions where gate prices are reduced or there are special offers to bring in punters, so on occasions like this we are rewarded for our loyalty. Everyone who wants a ticket will most probably get one. knickers.bmp

I just hope it was a waterproof £500 jacket cos it was a minging night for sure. That aside who determines what makes a "real fan" this fella appears to go to away games as well as home games possibly has a ST but certainly appears to spend much of his money following the team. Fair enough he doesn't wear colours etc. but is that not just excercising his right to choose ? The one thing we ALL agree on is that scrapping in a pub full of people isnae on, in the days when the "Casuals" were prominent in football they tended to knock lumps out of each other in big open spaces away from most people. If thats what floats their boat then let them crack on just keep it away form the game and populated areas in general please.

Fuck them play the under 19s against them

What odds on Jenno being sent off ? Don't bet on it though you know what happened before

In terms of the licence for street collections , would this still be needed if the collection points were inside the stadium e.g. in the East Stand there is plenty space behind the turnstiles and inside the cooper stand concourse. Don't go into the POD but must be space there surely ?

Can I have a large slice of Humble Pie please , wasn't sure at first then thought naw he's shite then we'll wait and see what summer brings but now he's done really well , I've never been so glad to be proven wrong.

Looks like the decision has been made for us Celtic in the Final then.

On a slight tangent the official founding date for the club is given as 18th May 1886, Cup Final is 21st May which would be the equivalant Saturday thus marking our 125th anniversary , tenous at best I know but my brain is still a bit fuzzy. memo to self Having a few beers at 9am in the Cooper Suite did seem like a good idea

Agree it's a total disgrace however let's be careful not to generlaise and tar all the wee laddies with the same brush, There were a good few "Casual" type laddies ,( nae colours , trendy clathes and haircuts brigade ) on the same bus as us yesterday and they were in great from , had a few drinks bit of singing and banter but no trouble whatsoever. They were sitting all around us and never at any time even looked like they would kick off. There is an unsavoury element surrounds football chances are these wee neds are not the same boys who go to the games and occupy the top corner of the East Stand, more likely wee arses who saw an opportunity to play at being billy big sacks for the day.

Its going to be the Ian Brines show, that tosser plus SKY and the Beeb covering it he'll be strutting about like a Peacock waving cards everywhere, odds on Jenno and Anderson getting sent off and McCall and Del boy getting sent to the stand.

Has hell frozen over ? Gloria starting a game !

They didn't do for the CIS semi.

BUMP Confidence is growing now at 61% for yes keep voting

All we have to do is beat the Jambos Simples

The Hump news strikes me as plain old lazy journalism, and sensationalism. Whilst there is no question Christopher Charles Humphrey has been good for us you have to think if he was good enough for the EPL he would be playing there before now.

If the buckets are back tomorrow night I'll chuck in some more as I'm sure most people will

Perfect solution , they can have big Gloria as compensation

I do care about the League as our ranking in the league will largely determine the Managers budget for next season, granted Cup Semi Final ( or dare I dream Final) will provide necessary funds but this combined with a top 6 finish could see the like of John Sutton staying at the club and maybe some new faces coming in.

Pretty sure if the Cup Winners win the league thereby qualifying for CL then losing finalists get Europa place.

What if we reduced the entry price but on the proviso that if you leave before the match finshes you have to pay extra to get out ? (obvious exceptions like going to work etc. A doctors line or a note from your mammy)
