manc_don Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Nearly 10,000 tickets sold by lunch time apparently. Would love it to be a bigger crowd but can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theRedRooster Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 thought we'd be doing well if we reached 12000 which is looking ambitious now as it doesnt look like weve reached 10000 yet agree that we should win comfortably if we play as well as the last two games. Hayes and McGinn must be loving playing with Maddison as they have so much more space than before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Sounds like Morton have sold 5k, so that's 15,000 in a 55,000 capacity stadium. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lap up the match day experience they say, A great family day out.... They could have quite easily moved it to a different stadium, they could have quite easily made it a 5.30 kick off time. They aren't interested in our little game on the Saturday, they are too busy getting ready to jizz themselves in to oblivion over the 'big' game the day after.

Stupie82 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Sounds like Morton have sold 5k, so that's 15,000 in a 55,000 capacity stadium. Awesome. Embarrassing... not for us, but for the SFA. What an absolute shambles! They go on about how we need to make Scottish Football great and then play one of their semi finals at a shit time, in a shit 55K stadium, only just over a quarter full and in front of the TV cameras. Just wow. I will be there, but i feel for those who cant make it or just generally lack the interest due to the location and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really get the lack of interest - last season we got knocked out both cups first game - I would have thought fans would be well up for being there when the dons have a tremendous chance to win at Hampden and bag another final Fair enough I'm travelling from just outside Edinburgh but I doubt we would have only sold 10,000 tickets if we had been playing the Rangers at the exact same kick off time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Certainly not embarrassing for us or Morton, I think you got my point though stupie. Spfl /SFA should have a look at themselves, but they won't because they have TV money. It's a cup semi, I wish I was going, last semi I went to was ace seems to be a busy time of year for a lot of folk which is understandable but I can't help but agree with Hebrews point. Had it been the huns 2.0 we'd have sold a 20k allocation no bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would likely still have moaned about the kick off time, but it would be understandable to have it Hampden in that case, whereas for Morton its just plain daft.

It's certainly not through lack of interest though, I'm really looking forward to the game and gutted that I'm (through my own choice) not going, but I simply can't give them my money for agreeing to such a fucking ridiculous event. It's the equivalent of holding a Shed Seven gig at the O2 where you'd sell about 2,000 tickets. Could you imagine an events organiser anywhere in the world doing something as ludicrous as what they SPFL are doing this weekend? Yet we accept it because it's fitba and we can't have a serious conversation about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckinPowers Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Had a quick peek over on Morton's fans forum, and to my surprise, they are actually fairly confident of reaching the final. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but they don't appear to hold us in any kind of regard, also, someone posted a link to an interview with their kit man, he's fairly confident that a bigger job for our manager ( Rangers or Scotland, to be precise) is only a matter of time.

Don't see why they should hold the dons in any high regard. Especially given the Dons semi-final record since I took an interest in football reads as follows P - 15 W - 4 (Sevco, Arabs, Hibs, St Johnstone) L - 11 (Arabs x 4, Tic x 3, St Jonstone, Hibs, Queen of the South, Hearts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The minute you take the TV money you're fucked. Just saying like As I previously posted....this sums up the apparent apathy amongst our support and Morton's. You can complain all you like about kick off time and venue (and I agree) but just like Sir David Murray you ain't got a leg to stand on and it's all about the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
