Falkirk obviously don't fancy playing us again next season.

I’m hearing that Citylink are adding a journey to Hampden returning after the game. I will try to get details and share them. It has the added advantage that concession card holders (both young and senior / disabled) will only need to pay the £1 booking fee to reserve their seats so they don’t have to pay the fare. I will try to get details tomorrow and share them.

Search on Hampden Park rather than Glasgow. That looks to be the extra journey, on sale on the Citylink and Megabus websites. It leaves Hampden at 2015, but will wait if the game goes to extra time or penalties. I think the 1200 from Inverness extends to Hampden too. I will get confirmation from those involved in arranging it tomorrow and confirm anything I can. https://uk.megabus.com/journey-planner/journeys?days=1&concessionCount=0&departureDate=2023-06-03&destinationId=49&inboundOtherDisabilityCount=0&inboundPcaCount=0&inboundWheelchairSeated=0&nusCount=0&originId=481&otherDisabilityCount=0&pcaCount=0&totalPassengers=1&wheelchairSeated=0 https://uk.megabus.com/journey-planner/journeys?days=1&concessionCount=0&departureDate=2023-06-03&destinationId=481&inboundOtherDisabilityCount=0&inboundPcaCount=0&inboundWheelchairSeated=0&nusCount=0&originId=49&otherDisabilityCount=0&pcaCount=0&totalPassengers=1&wheelchairSeated=0

The First final was in the 1873/4 season, so this makes it the 150th anniversary of the competition. But because the trophy wasn't played for in the war years, it won't be the 150th final. It is historic enough though and there is no need for us to lose by more than 5 goals to make it any more historic.

But when were the announcements of the Premiership season extension and the revised Cup Final date, to allow for the World Cup in December? Contracts may already have been drawn up and signed before then. Certainly those which lasted more than one year!

I'm sure the club will communicate and clear it all up soon

Its expected that the contract wording would be until XX date or after final season game whichever is latest in calender to cover these eventualities as the club will know the play-off date risks wrt to contract end dates. SC & league games (including play-off) are part of the regular game season.

Was it not in the club statement that they would have ticket info the next day? Using the AGM as a measuring stick, I'd say we'll get details around mid-July!

I get what you are saying but.... I never thought I'd see ICT in a SC final so soon after the last time. So I will be there even if at midnight on the moon!!

He’s talking about plans for next season so I presume he’s staying. Expect a statement in the next few days.
