League season is sadly over. Attention for the next 4 weeks focuses on another big day out at Hampden, a chance to pull off one the greatest cup final upsets ever and earn a crack at the Europa League!

So here is a visual representation of our allocation for the final. Pretty shambolic that anyone viewing on tv will be faced with a wall of arseholes while we're stuck out of view.

Yes It's going to look as if they have more fans than us!!!

It will look like they have the whole stadium.

Maybe there will ne more than one camera covering the game.

Well, clearly. But the vast majority of the coverage will be from the main broadcasting angle in the South Stand. It would be presentational basics for the SFA to ensure fans of both teams are shown from the primary broadcasting angle. 

In addition to the fact this adds to the spectacle for the neutrals watching on tv, it also advertises the club to potential new fans by showcasing the colour and character of our support. Hiding us out of shot does not.

Surely you mean they will have the Celtic end and some overspill

Ultimate Scottish football tin-pot behavior that a national stadium has defined stands and ends for specific clubs

I am not surprised at that as the big two always get the most coverage regardless of who they are playing and nothing is going to change on than front. We can complain about kick off times, prices of tickets and seating arrangements but it doesn’t matter to the authorities!

We just have to get on with it and make the most of our day out 

There will be sufficient cameras zooming in on us if we win the feckin thing

A friendly away to Dungannon Swifts has been arranged for Saturday 20th.

Is there a bus going ?

Happy days. Less than an hour down the road for me. At least there will be 1 ICT fan in attendance.

You will have to do a match report 

There will be more Glentoran fans than ICT !!

NOBODY puts Caley (Thistle) in the corner - except that they do. Can't say I'm surprised really.

Two of us, I’ll probably come across from Downpatrick to watch it

I might to use my imagination for the first 5 minutes as my eldest is at a birthday party and we might have to cut it fine (or more likely we'll make an early exit).

Excellent! The eldest Hiro Junior will be with me so that makes 3- that counts as a crowd.

A friend of mine in Glastonbury tells me he has tried on numerous occasions to access ticket master and the club without success.  He is an exiled Thistle fan and was looking for tickets for himself and 3 sons.

Could you not get them for him? 

Buy a ticket for a jeggie - have you lost the plot ?

Cheers, pretty happy with that to be honest 👌

I probably will OCG but that's not the point. We should be able to access these sources without hassle. We just don't seem to be at the races in many areas.

Sorry IHE I would not normally support any such actions but we go back a long way. First met in mid 60's.

I tried to book on one of the megabus or citylink coaches earlier. I can only get a single ticket to Hampden but not a return. Wtf is that about? 🤔
