    Just arrived in Thessaloniki and the place is absolutely nuts. My pals aren't getting here until Wednesday so if there are any dandies about earlier who fancy a jar feel free to send me a message. 

    Been here since Friday 

    Place is cracking. Can't quite believe the shit we have to deal with pre-match. Can't quite believe it, the city seems full of trendy bars and cafes everywhere yet we get told to go to a shit square then herded to the port and onto buses 3 hours before the game.

    Any tips from hearts fans appreciated

    It’s wild how it’s become fashionable all of a sudden in Scotland since the great Sevco tantrum of a few years kicked it all off

    Big, noisy away supports add to the occasion, it’s absolute piss that this has become a thing*

    Its hearts prerogative and home fans should come first but we should always be getting at least 1200 tickets at Tynecastle out of common courtesy considering they get an 1800 section on every visit 
     

     

    *OF fans wanting 75% of grounds in Scotland don’t count. If you can’t see the difference please get well soon 

    Do they get 1800 at Pittodrie. Don't think it is any where near that. 

    We were actually the first to cut away allocations in favour of home support and have cut even further with unnecessary extra segregation at the fence. Hearts have a waiting list for season tickets so understand why they have done it. However surely we could get a bit extra but reducing the ridiculously big tarpaulin between fans in the upper section and opening the bottom section properly

    It looks like we’ve sold out the bottom tier of the away stand (or the 4/5s of it we were allocated) and are now selling tickets in the upper tier.

    I would praise our support but I’m not sure such masochism should be encouraged.

    How many more have we sold since Monday? Presumed folk would be handing them back rather than snapping them up.

    Was in two minds about whether to use my ticket but four stands of hate seems an intriguing prospect 

  4. I seem to remember last year in the Scottish Cup thread, a poster (who’s name escapes me but know I’m giving you full credit) used the ScotScore website’s ranking points as a method of measuring the two teams in different leagues together. Whilst not a sure fire 100% prediction rate, I seem to remember that the system got the vast majority of the predictions right. So, I’ve decided, as I am sad and seem to have a lot of disposable time, that I would do the same for this round of the cup.

    https://scotscores.theroonba.com/clubrank/clubrank.html - here is the link for the website if anyone is interested.

    Note - I’ve measured clubs with a gap of 50 or less as expected to draw. Anything more and the side with the higher ranking is expected to win.

    Of course, this doesn’t take into account things like red cards, the venue, weather conditions etc. - it’s pretty much measured on a form basis. It’s just quite interesting to see how teams in different leagues match up against each other.
    Brilliant, but what about Pollok v Annan?
  5. It is the Queen for fux sake. She died in one of her favourite places on Earth. Aberdeenshire. You may know that part of the world [emoji2369]
    ????
    It's the death of an old lady. Sad but hardly something to shut the entire country down for.
    The monarchy means nothing to me and is an anachronistic and corrupt institution which with any luck will be gone before long. If folk buy into all this crap they can stay at home while the rest of us get on with our lives
  6. Pollok's capacity is capped at 900 now for some reason
    Yeah, shame as would easily break 1000 for bigger games. Tried to ask what why and what could be done to increase it. With the new toilet block the entrance/exit on that side is significantly restricted so that may be a factor
  7. I wonder how much tickets we'll get and if there will be enough for everyone that wants one?
    Also, I was going to bus down to Glasgow, meet my mate and then was hoping to jump on a Glasgow Reds bus?
    Does anyone know if they still run by the guy Malcolm Riddell that's on the AFC site?
    Hi ya
    We exist as a club but don't run buses. We tend to use public transport and get the occasional minibus.
    Looks like we'll be heading in a few cars but if plans change will let you know. Perhaps an Aberdeen based bus could pick you up on route although they'll by pass the city so would probably need to get to Bothwell services or similar
