St Johnstone vs Dundee United, Armageddon sponsored Scottish Cup Final

[Steve McQueen]

I like the sound if not feeling like an away team

[Zamora Fan]

Loved being behind the goals at ibrox and there is no feeling like the players celebrating in front of you. Really disappointed if they get the bit behind both goals

[ShedruleFTD83]

Saw this on Utd mad and am seething at the moment IF it's true

As I understand it...

Both teams getting behind goals with United in area Cally Fans were for LC Final...tickets in here are for Family Section at 28 and 10 quid.

We are also allocated the old main stand...not sure if we get the lot or if it is to be segregated...the ane yi see Rod Stewart Greetin in on Champs League Nights...tickets in here for all age groups are 35 quid...ie no concessions.

If we sell that we then move onto North Stand (old jungle) again at 35 quid with no concessions.

Fed have wrote to Club and issued press release stating our thoughts on the prices...especially the lack of concession tickets available.

Assuming it's true

Main stand (behind camera) before the North (just the most visible stand on camera), £35 for all ages in Main and North (just stupid at them prices), are they trying to prove the half empty stadium predictions from the sevconians true??

Surely the sensible solution would be allow us to sell behind a goal and north lowers (over 20k easily) and Saints behind the other goal (lower & upper), then allow us to move onto upper tiers once sold, sections of main stand at either end for either support if needed be after that, or even give Saints a part of the north and us the rest if it if the demand is there from them

Would have thought United would have got the same end behind the goal as Aberdeen did, as there's more room for supporters buses at that end, so presumed the bigger of the two clubs would be there.

I live in hope the the SFA aren't about to embark on yet another massive fcukup.

Give each team behind a goal, sell towards the middle, ditch the restricted view corners. If it is clear that St Johnstone are not going to sell many more after the area behind the goal, allocate them top and bottom tiers of the North, section by section, and let United sell the bottom tier ofthe North out first before moving onto the top tier.

Fcuk the main stand completely for normal fans, keep it for sponsors, officials, clubs, etc.

This is not just a good suggestion, this is the literally the answer.

I can only assume the north stand is hard to segregate? (Both sets of fans would be sharing toilets or something?)

And if, hypothetically, that is the case, who the hell cares?

It's the Saints Versus United, not an old firm game. We are two sets of fans who live up the road from each other and for the most part have respect for each other.

If this is the reason for the peculiar seating arrangements, the SFA really don't have a clue.

I've just realised... I've said 'the SFA dont have a clue' 100 times this season. I should get a prize.

yep, two tickets for the restricted view

[lionel hutz]

Let's be honest, Tops United will take 32,000 an Saints just under half that, surely it would look better if the put the three stans visible to TV cameras (the North, Lisbon Lions and JS) on sale first. United get the North Stand and Jock Stein and Saints get the Lisbon Lions and part of the Main stand.

Dundee United is pleased to announce that following robust and constructive discussions with the Scottish FA, the governing body has readily agreed to provide 16,000 concession area tickets, priced at £28/£10, for our fans at the William Hill Scottish Cup final on 17th May.

The Club had raised strong concerns on the level of pricing and the initial allocation of concession tickets, which would have seen less than 5000 £28/£10 tickets available before purchases were directed towards the £35 non concession tickets.

[shedboy73]

Bit of sense from SFA on prices now. Hopefully utd and saints get 45000 + shifted now.

[Aladdin]

Also sounds like we are getting an opportunity to sell the north stand. Dont know why they just didnt give us behind the goal and North stand (bottom tiers only) and Saints behind other goal (bottom tier) and main stand and then open the top if needed.

SFA never do anything the easy way.

[ShedruleFTD83]

Despite what the idiotic pundits and media have been saying, no doubt the Saintees are the favs for this, based on recent head to heads alone

Won the last 3 meetings without conceding, scoring 6 with 5 for Stevie May, and possibilty of finishing above us, probably will if our players show the same effort in the remaining games, big mistake if they do then expect to switch it on for the Final

Never any common sense with that lot, like you say, should have been North stand and behind the goal lower tiers only till filled, then onto upper tiers and only if those looked like filling aswell (unlikely as those three stands hold 53000 combined) then onto the main stand behind the camera

Still wouldn't call us favourites, you lot have more history in these sort of games, theres no way of knowing how our players will react to the situation. Only time I've seen us in a Final was the League Cup against Rangers, and the Challenge Cup back in about 7 years ago, and only Anderson survives from the Challenge Cup team

[Szamo's_Ammo]

Great result for United yesterday. We're guaranteed the cup now B)

If St. Johnstone win it does that mean that St. Mirren are officially the diddy saints?

[tree house tam]

Popped up on my twitter, turns out I know of the guy who got it.

Still, fanny.

Is that big McGurks tattoo ? Heard he got that done. Fanny indeed .

[tree house tam]

Yeah.

Hope we bump into him on May 17th so i can have a nice discussion about how presumptious the twat is .

[mizfit]

Ticket details to be released by saints tomorrow with sales commencing on Friday. A 3 day exclusion for season tickets only with a public sale as of the Monday morning.

Maybe he's a wizard. Did you think if that? No.

Idiot.

[SouthEnclosure]

5000 at McDiarmid on Saturday for cup finalists, shocking. For gods sake move the final to a smaller ground or there will be 20 000 plus empty seats.
