Deestruction Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Likely a combo of the two. Allows time for arrangements and their was a decent expectation atleast 2 Prem clubs would make the semis. Worked out well I'd say. Monday the 2nd for the Derby being a public holiday is tasty for the Bevvy folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm pretty sure there are never premiership matches on the weekend of the Scottish cup semis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Sheridan Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Probably been answered already, but why are the final games all 12:30 kick-offs instead of 3pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm quite happy with the fixtures. I'll only miss the Dundee vs Hamilton game due to work commitments, but can attend every other one. Will probably rubber the final game though, doubt I will be arsed making Inverness in time for 12:30 for a likely dead rubber game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to be at the same time, 1230 on Sunday is the slot our oh-so-wonderful TV deal allows us to have so we all have to tug the media forelock and gratefully accept nae last day of the season pre-match pints.

101 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Aye everything should stop because Scotrail doesn't have a Sunday contract with their drivers leading to a substandard service... Or you could get a bus. a train at 9,40 on a sunday morning seems fair and never said it should be stopped but even a 1pm kick off seems fair if the TV company really wants it or the mad notion that the game could be played on saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gandosaur Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 End of season away games are the best ones even though there's f**k all to play for. Agreed. Inverness will be a cracking day out on the last day. POTY that weekend too and I'm off work for a week. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it would, but again what would make you think folk getting to matches is any way a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Kilmarnock away to Inverness at 12:30. On a Sunday! Bus booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Whilst there is still a mathematical possibility of Aberdeen winning the title wouldn't it have made sense to put Aberdeen against Celtic as the final game of the season? It's looking unlikely but it's still possible, that would maximise potential drama and excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 It's a midweek fixture. Why is a Thursday any different to Pittodrie on a Tuesday night or a Wednesday night? Probably because it's utterly shit, tbh. Would have went if it was the weekend. Likely won't now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I quite like the fact we finish as we began with St Johnstone at Tynecastle Another 7 goal thriller might be a bit much to ask though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffelz Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I had to read it about 5 times but a Monday for a Dundee derby is terrible. Is that to kill any kind of drunken behaviour? Not a chance - surely loads of folk will be off for May Day? Work on Tuesday will be a right laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get May Day off at my work but I've just taken the Tuesday off. It's been about 7 years since the last time I've been out on a Monday in Dundee.
