Attila the II Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Tynie Magic for me. Short choo choo trip from Dunfermline. One of the best away days for me was the Scottish cup semi final against the sheep at grey skull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 First bus from Peebles already booked. Bring it on................COYSThere are quite a few Hibees here in Peebles and on the whole they are all decent people, however over the last few days they have turned into obnoxious twats who think their team just need to turn up for the semi and the SPFPFSPFSL (or whatever they are called nowadays) will get the Final they want.I cant say I am a fan of RC since the way they handled the Richie Brittain saga but I feckin hope they stuff septic. SJ v RC final doesn't get any better, I really don't care if there is only 20,000 inside Hampden for the final .Anyway the chances are we will be sharing buses from Peebles so the journey home WILL be good for us Peebles Saintees!!!!!!!!! COYSHope you are not too outnumbered. Coys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mc Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 We humped the team top of their league, so this should be a dawdle, if we're in the right frame of mind, bring it on!! Are the young team still pals with Hibs baby crew?If so, they can do one!! Dr Christmas Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.B.B:- Adz Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Would we settle for as few as 3500 tickets, just to appease the Leith Giants thirst? ...Afterall they only have around 7000 season ticket holders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody with remotest Saints connection went to the final....and brought their friends. Semi final's aren't like that....regulars, semi-regulars and day-outer's will be there and 4k's enough.and, as Cagey said, it's not as if it's a new thing.This whole post sounds a bit negative...it's not meant to...we're brilliant!!

I think we'll fill behind the goal. It's on a Saturday at 3 o clock and not on the TV. We're playing some cracking stuff, as Hibs are and it's all set up to be a great game and very winnable. A lot of people missed the semi at Ibrox who'll not miss this one. Coltrane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably right. I am alluding to the notion that to only offer us the Roseburn, thus 3500, is a bit mean considering hibs only have 7000 season tickets holders and would be given 12000 tickets straight off the bat.Would it not be fairer to give us the Roseburn and half of the main stand, then, what we don't sell in our half of the main stand by a certain period of time we graciously hand over to hibs and the main stand is segregated accordingly. Allow saints fans every opportunity to get along if they want to....If we sell our allocation of 3500 quickly, it will leave people wondering did we deserve more?

callander saint Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 When we played Aberdeen in semi 2 years ago I seem to remember it was early Jan before tickets were on sale . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali91 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Worth noting it's the first time we've played a side ranked below us in a semi final since Hearts in 1998. I think the winnable nature of the tie, the knowledge that a semi final win isn't beyond us and the fact we are brilliant should see a bumper crowd. I'd want to work backwards from a high figure rather than trying to beg for scraps after we sell out a lower figure. I'd want the Roseburn and a section of the Main Stand and if we don't require the Main Stand then Hibs can have it. Another meaningless fact is we are 2 for 2 in cup semis against sides we are above in the league system. Looking closer at the draws we've had puts our ridiculously poor semi final record in some sort of context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sainties sheep Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Anyone any idea if there'll be extra / supporters trains laid on from Perth, considering the nightmare of the Forth Road bridge at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Anyone any idea if there'll be extra / supporters trains laid on from Perth, considering the nightmare of the Forth Road bridge at the moment. What's up with the bridge? The North bound carriageway is down to 40mph but the Southbound is as normal so don't imagine any issues driving through. Even the 40mph limit doesn't make much difference when I've been over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenrothes saintee Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I said last week I wouldn't run a bus from Glenrothes, but I've since priced a 24 seater. If full (it'll only be a goer if full), it will £8 per head. If anyone from Glenrothes/Kirkcaldy are would like a seat let me know before the Christmas holidays start coz I ain't mucking about after that trying to fill the bus.

Ours was 4500 odd. That should be the starting point for allocation of tickets for the semi.As others have said, I would far rather we started high and had to hand back a couple of hundred tickets rather than Saints fans miss out just to keep the large number of floating Hibs fans happy.

RandomGuy Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Last season we got the Roseburn and a half/quarter of the main, imagine this year we'll get similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the 40mph limit doesn't make much difference when I've been overLast weekend it took an hour to get from the Dunfermline interchange by the Amazon Warehouse to the south Queensferry junction. Increased traffic on the day, time of year, January sales etc would only make the potential of delay worse. That was the basis of my train query Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livi saint Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Tickets are £20/£5 (under 16)Roseburn for Saints and a section of main stand kept aside if we need it, which I'm sure we will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
