Hibernian have been left “incredibly frustrated” by their allocation of 17,500 tickets for the Scottish League Cup final against Celtic. Some had anticipated a 50/50 split of briefs for next month’s big match at Hampden, but the SPFL have decided to bank on Celtic supporters selling more. However, they have received one concession from the…

Too often in the past clubs have been given 50% allocation and Hampden ends up with loads of empty seats. Then you have your glory hunters who want to turn up for a cup final every ten years, then you get a Celtic season ticket holder who goes to every game of the season but can’t get a ticket for a cup final.

Both of us wear green and white so nobody will notice on t.v. :slightly_smiling_face:

I cant believe they can bemoan this decision its about time the S.F.A. rewarded the fans who actually attend matches.
Why should a club who failed to sell tickets for the semi and had a 2/3 full stadium in the last league game versus Celtic get an equal share.
Brilliant result yes but a poorly supported team how many didn’t travel as they thought they would lose but now want to jump on the bandwagon.
As for the fixture concern they got lucky getting games off while we were forced to play last season, and we actually have as many games to play.
