Jmothecat2 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Semi final in Glasgow at 12 on a Sunday. Terrible decision, disappointing the club have apparently agreed to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza81 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 And if you were the late kick off the last train back is 9.30pm. That’s not the SFA/SPFL’s fault that transport in this country is pish. You’ve got the better fixture out the two so stop moaning and get on with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cool, we only need to be there for the pens. 2 games on the same day, in the same stadium is fucking madness. The polis overtime bill will be huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel sorry for the Aberdeen crowd as the Scottish authority seem to have it in for you. If they had have used Mfiield for your game not only could they have kicked off at the same time but you would have been able to watch the whole game! This is purely TV money and BT sports cashing in on a double fixture and police Scotland taking route A. Shite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highland_mechanic Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 No sign of any confirmation yet on Aberdeen or Hearts' websites. Why is this? Could they both be unhappy with the decision that has been made? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be amazing though if they kicked up a stink for Aberdeens sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I've been pleased with the way the club has dealt with a few things this season but judging by the comments made by Doncaster this decision was agreed with clubs. Hope I'm proved wrong and Aberdeen are kicking up a fuss over this. Being central belt based it doesn't make a huge difference to me but my Dad has already said he won't be bothering with such an early kick off time and it's frustrating that this keeps happening. When we sell 8,000 tickets due to the kick off time I wouldn't be surprised to see that used against us for allocation if we made it to the final. The token 'we appreciate this is difficult for some fans' comment makes the situation worse as it shows they are aware it's difficult for Aberdeen fans but that matters less than making sure the old firm don't have to travel to Edinburgh for a semi-final. The worst thing about it is other than moaning about it on forums or Facebook there's basically nothing we can do other than accept it. Edit: Just noticed Aberdeen have put out a statement so at least that's something. https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/09/27/aberdeen-confirm-dismay-over-sunday-lunchtime-start/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if a lunchtime kick off is better for Aberdeen fans than a 7pm kick off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if a lunchtime kick off is better for Aberdeen fans than a 7pm kick off? Are Hampden really likely to sue if they made a change due to exceptional circumstances? Especially with the SFA in the process of buying it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if a lunchtime kick off is better for Aberdeen fans than a 7pm kick off? Since when has that been the case? If it is then play it the following weekend, or alternatively come up with a better system in the first place for if two teams are in Europe at this stage. It was hardly a difficult to foresee circumstance. Surely if the SPFL insist on a reasonable kick off time then the police would state it unsafe anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
