I was pleasantly surprised with the prices. Especially kids tickets. £5 for a Scottish cup final. Fantastic.

Strange.

Looks like we've got the Celtic end. How does it look like that? Falkirk will be coming from the east. You can be almost certain we will have the west stand.

Finish 3rd and lose final- 1st qualifying round 2/9th July. Win Cup- 2nd qualifying round 16/23rd July. Finish 4th and lose final-

Card displays seem to flop too often and you really need big numbers at Hampden to make it work with the bowl shape stadium. Talking over 15-20k. We should all just buy the big flags on bamboo sticks and wave them as they always look great in Hampden if lots of people have them.

There is usually a coin toss to decide home team which gets you the home dressing room (no difference at Hampden) and first choice to wear your home kit. If you google Inverness CT v Falkirk though you will see pictures of us playing in our home top against Falkirk in their home top and also us in our home and them in their away. So hopefully it is both teams in home tops to add to the occasion.

I would just like to declare my love for Graeme Shinnie. He was outstanding today, what a performance. One of the best I have ever seen in a Caley top. A huge reason we won this game. After what he helped us achieve today and hopefully he will go on to lift the cup for ICT, he has made himself a legend at the club. Maybe an imortal legend if he lifts the trophy. When he leaves for Aberdeen he deserves a standing ovation next season when he returns to Inverness.

Falkirk had 25,000 at the final in '97. If tickets are priced well (SFA I know so not much chance) it would encourage fans of other teams to come along for the day. Tickets to sports and children's groups. subsidised buses etc. If a real effort is made then you could be looking at 40k+

I guess we'll have to wait until after the Celtic v Dundee United replay - but I'd say it's likely our game will be on the Sunday. The semi-finals are similar to 2013 when it was Hibs v Falkirk (on the Saturday) and Dundee United v Celtic (on the Sunday). In 2013 that Hibs game was on BBC and the Celtic game on sky as sky get first pick. In 2014 sky showed Dundee utd v rangers on the Saturday and BBC had Aberdeen v st Johnstone on the Sunday. So going by last year we would be on the Saturday. It is all depending on sky's schedule I guess.

Also the last semi finals were both early kick offs for tv. One on Sky and one on BBC. Sky seem to have shown the Saturday games recently so it is almost a stick on that our game will be at 12.30/12.45 on the Saturday.

Paranoid much? A lot of nonsense written there. Scottish Cup semi finals are always at Hampden and have been for a number of years now excluding last year for obvious reasons. Saying it could be at Dens or Ibrox is just ridiculas.

I think quite a few people are confused about how a summer league works. It isn't just played from June-August! At the moment in our 'winter league' we don't play in June and July. Summer leagues don't play in December- February. Leagues in Europe who play a summer league such as Norway, Russia and Ireland play March-November. So if we had a summer league this weeks game would be our first game of the season. Summer league or not the game yesterday would have been called off!

...and there you have it! I'm not sure how much the postponement will cost, but given the difficulties faced by home, and particularly away, fans for a Tuesday night game, coupled with many preferring not to brave the elements and to watch the CL instead, will make for a crowd reduction of ~1000 IMO. It's simple, Scottish football cannot compete with winter weather and better football on Sky. Summer football would avoid both these issues. You do realise that summer football doesn't mean just June-August. If we had a summer league we would be playing now so the game would be off anyway

How early do they expect fans to be going to the game. A later inspection would give time for pitch to be playable.

Has Esson been playing for the reserves?

If county can take anything from celtic today, however unlikely that might be and we beat Hamilton then we would go top of the league next Saturday with a win over county!

Would be interesting to know the average price paid tonight. Also the lowest and highest prices paid.

Why should they? Do Celtic let other teams train on their pitch the day before a game.

Read that post wrong. I didn't check the website as I wouldn't even have imagined the club shop would be shut the last Saturday before Christmas. What I was going to buy I'm just not going to bother anymore as I'm not making another trip to Inverness. So it's the clubs loss.

Those times on the website are wrong. I was there at 12.45 and it was shut as were the main doors. I hung about for 15 minutes to see if anyone was about

When is the shop open this week? Came down from Invergordon today and it's shut. The Saturday before Christmas! That's money the club has missed out on as I won't be back in again before Thursday.

40 mins walk from Milton of Leys to Bught park! How fast do you walk!? The Bught park idea would be a total nonstarter. The roads at the river side are far too narrow and slow moving. There would be gridlock on the other side coming through town. Would be a disaster.

3,700 in a derby game. Shocking!

There is no actual trophy for that though, just an unofficial title.. Seems like they are playing for a real trophy here.

What trophy are they playing for?
