Could no one be arsed to walk as far round as Denholms to see what the winning shop looked like?

They did sign Kygriakos.

I thought the same thing TBH. Maxwell said he'd be pretty angry if either club or the SFA didn't make it happen and pay some sort or repsect to Phil.

Ally Maxwell was in the paper last week asking that everything is done to make this happen, with a minute silence before the game too.

Cheers boys.

They've been linked to John Rankin since his release from Hibs. It's more likely to be Jenno though, I reckon.

Is anyone aware of a discount at any travel agents available through a deal with the club? I was certain there was a voucher in the season tickets for Thomas Cook, but had a look the other day and couldn't see it.

How about someone from the club shop comes down and chaps your door then?

As long as Thomas Cook or First Choice do some sort of display. Otherwise I cannae book my honeymoon.

The club could have put a bit more effort and planning into it then, so everything was sorted long before now. Christ, even Albion Rovers managed to have an anniversary top sorted with all the authorities a couple of seasons back when they wore the ble and yellow strips.

Same for me. Decent looking top and all that, but really disappointed we're not making a bit more of it, and even more so given the fact the players wont be wearing the bloody thing.

Noticed on the seating plan yesterday that after the tickets were split between both teams there were still 11,000 left over for corporate and SFA use. Thought I'd have a wee spy at the FA Cup allocations. In a 90,000 seater stadium both Bolton and Stoke have been given an equal allocation of just 25,000 each with 40,000! going to corporate, The FA and neutral fans. It seems that's the standard allocations even allowing for Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal etc. making the final. That is shocking.

The 5% charge was definitely included for semi final tickets. Pretty sure it's always been there. Not 100% sure right enough, as I generally pay cash to avoid paying the 5% charge for paying by card. The club has the database of ST holders but if they outsource that to a call centre then that's where the problems start. Sure they could send out a list but transferring the entire database is a fair task.

Because then anyone could phone up for a ticket. Besides is there not always a 5% charge for buying tickets? Was certainly the case for the semi final.

As in none left.

Not exactly official but the word in the shop down the street today was that the final allocation was the agreed 16,059. EDIT: The club has been arguing its case for the last 10 days trying to be allocated extra tickets They also think they might not need to have a ballot if things carry on as they are going. Plenty of pre-orders for new season tickets have been taken which has boosted the number of tickets sold.

He's away back to Cyprus. Released a couple of weeks ago I think.

We need to keep him match fit for the final though.

The Sutton to Rangers story has been doing the rounds since the start of the year. He'd be going their as back-up to Jelavic I reckon. Don't see those 2 being a partnership. I suppose the Hateley one makes sense given his links to McCoist via his da' and agent. He's hit a bit of form again recently and I can't see Diouf or Davis being there next season so they'll need to bolster midfield.

Is there a limit to the number of tickets you can apply for in the ballot?

I don't think that's what he means. I think he's talking about the pre-sale for people who buy a season ticket for next season. i.e Trying to give those who don't have 1 this season a wee nudge towards pre-ordering next season's season ticket just to unsure they get a cup final ticket

It probably will be. They'll just be waiting to see how the league is standing at that point. They will either show the game of who has already won the league, or they will be broadcasting both games simultaneously

I always had it in my head that was a 1-0 game.

Cup final ALWAYS kicks off at 3pm.
