Killiesquirrel Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Capacity should not be the factor. Safety should be the only issue, not money. If Celtic play Rangers in the cup final should it be moved to the Nou Camp for extra revenue? Or should a Barca Vs Real Madrid cup final be played at the Rungrado May Day Stadium? Extreme examples but the point remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revenue is important in football, so is allowing as many paying punters as possible to see the game. If both clubs agree I don't really see what business anyone else has sticking their neb in.

1320Lichtie Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm against Albion rovers moving because they're a senior club in the leagues and they should have the stadium to play these kind of games if they come up. Bonnyrigg aren't and the fact that so many local people could miss out on seeing them play the Scottish cup holders who are local to them and all is a shite thought. Move it, milk it, enjoy your day in the Sun I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.M Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Ideally they would have been better drawn away to Hibs as we were to Hearts, with the chance of a big payday. They have already agreed in principle with Hearts to hold the game at Tynecastle, Ann Budge being very accommodating and helping them out Bonnyrigg have a lot of boys clubs and it has been indicated that around 500 of the boys will be attending along with coaches , parents etc, and with a population now of nearly 20,000, they have the potential to take a much bigger crowd than we did to Tynecastle. I hope they get their wish to give everybody who wants to go to this match the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS7 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Home venue. Already stated this. Am against this move it for big day carry on beith managed to hold Morton at home after all Nah they lost 6-0 mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS7 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Fascinating arguments btw and I think this is unique - and whilst I think the tie should be held at bonnyrigg there is a compelling arguments for moving it to allow several thousand new bonnyrigg fans to attend. I was at auchinleck in 2012 and brockville in 1982. These are genuine once in a lifetime events and whilst I can understand the sfa wanting to have rules I think there is a compelling argument now for hosting elsewhere. Not tynecastle obviously because that's a shit hole [emoji106][emoji1169] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place will be buzzin which should suit you but to not switch the tie would be to lose at least 25k. When has hibs fan base been above 1200 this season on away days!! It's not been. So why all the fuss about giving them big venue. if it's at tynecastle ill have money on it being about 10,000. Nothing suits me'!! Am just of opinion if it was my club I'd want it at my home ground.

What's the admission fee likely to be? I reckon £15 and £10 going by hibs (home) prices v lesser teams in recent seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for example it's Salford v Man City or Blyth Spartans v Newcastle would the games be played at the home venues or would they be switched to the nearest venue or to a bigger stadium? Blyth only a few seasons ago had Birmingham City in the cup at Croft Park which was bursting at the seams and 4500 capacity. Their great run of the 70s v Wrexham the tie was played at St. James Park in front of over 42000. 2 totally different eras and 2 totally different football associations.

The Jim McLean is away end at tannadice and holds a capacity 1400. Being there was only 10.000 at that game I doubt hibs took. 3000 of that. Maybe am wrong but I was given the stats from a hibs lad that there average away support is 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomtown Boy Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The Hibs fans were half way down the main stand as well. Tell me a game when Hibs have not taken more than 1200 fans to an away game in Edinburgh. Your 1200 is a non stat for this game. Get it at Tynie and let as many people from the town see this that want to which would not be the case if held at NDP, your opinion has been noted but discounted by most connected to this fixture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my personal opinion that I'd rather have it at my home ground if it was my team. As much as I see the money side for your club I just think of how good it be for you to host a top Scottish senior club at your own patch. The thing is if it's at tynecastle and my game is off I'll be taking this game in from the Bonnyrigg end I hope!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 They do to be fair and considering Tynecastle wouldn't even be away as such and basically be a home game where they've been getting 14k Bonnyrigg could milk getting their fans in and neutrals and every single person that wanted to watch Bonnyrigg in by having it at Tynecastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough mate. I can't actually find there attendances for all there away games. Just from my hibees supporter friend who said average is 1200. I'd simply want it at valefield if it was kilbirnie.
