Tony Wonder Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 34 minutes ago, WATTOO said: The Sunday transport argument is a non starter considering Scotland matches are now scheduled for a Sunday Night at Hampden with the same issues facing everyone, yet I've heard very little complaints about this. Having said that, our transport infrastructure is a complete joke in this country with "Sunday services" a particular nonsense. We really are like a 3rd world country in many respects. Scotland's last Sunday night game was against Slovenia and we barely got 20,000. And the fan experience of travelling to and from Hampden is a big part of why a lot of people were against Scotland staying at Hampden. Regardless, it's different from normal 7.45pm KO's on the basis that there's no chance of these games going to ET or penalties and making half the crowd miss their transport home. And these aren't run of the mill games, they are national competition semi finals, they should be showcasing the game. Not moving them to kick off's that massively discourage those outside the hardcore support from attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Although it'll never actually happen, I'd love it it they made Hearts & Celtic play at Hampden but put the Celtic fans in the 'Rangers' end on the basis that the eastern side is easier to access from the east where the vast majority of Hearts fans will be travelling from. The resultant seethe and demands that they'd rather it be moved to Murrayfield rather than sit in 'that' end would be glorious.There is absolutely no reason why that should not happen. None whatsoever. If there is a coin toss at the end of all this and that game is at Hampden, Hearts should be calling for a coin toss, at the very least, to decide ends.

The OP Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I have no particular love for the Celtic end of Hampden. To be honest I think we get the bum deal, moreso when there was no roof on it but that was before my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that wasn't the answer. It was quite clear and straightforward. You cited two examples two months hence (give or take). Both examples were contained in fixture lists where all fixtures in the respective divisions are down to be played at that division's traditional time because no adjustments have yet been made from the originally-published list. Quote I'm not looking up fixture lists for any more teams that I don't care about. Time will tell. Time has already told. I'd advise you to go and check what happened a fortnight ago but you'll merely say you can't be bothered looking at the facts that disprove your opinion.

But some people do enjoy digging themselves into a hole instead of admitting so publicly. In those situations it can be enjoyable to bring out a JCB to help them along.

I don't disagree with you, if the fans really mattered then the matches would be played at times which suited the majority, however we all know we're way past that stage as all that matters is money and the TV companies call the shots. You'd also think that the authorities / clubs / Scotrail could maybe liaise with each other and come to some arrangement regarding late running trains etc but of course that then opens up the can of worms regarding who picks up the overtime tab on a Sunday night etc. As for Hampden, well, it really makes no difference from Murrayfield for travelling etc as you may get to Glasgow / Edinburgh but then the connections to outlying areas such as Fife and Ayrshire are impossible. Basically it's just a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as the first 2 teams I checked STILL have fixtures scheduled for 2 days after a Europa tie ( and they’ve had quite a few weeks now to reschedule ) then, as things stand, the facts back up my paranoia. But since you obviously work at the SPFL, why don’t you save us all the arguments and post a link to the rule that says no team should be asked to play 2 days after a Europa tie ?
