Thistle captain and forward Brian Graham manages the women's team.
He's playing on the Saturday.

after they publish the date and allow people to make plans......
is this in the new spfl report they are so pleased about - not giving a flying one about fans?

To be fair the website said 23rd or 24th - not sure why the media was so definite.

Tynecastle ideal size to give a good atmosphere, grounds in Glasgow too big or too small.
Really ? A showpiece event in the women’s game is moved for the convenience of a guy playing in a lower league match. The Thistle match should have been moved.

Tinpot decision if it was based on the Thistle Manager's availability.

If is the big word there!
Most womens games are played on a Sunday, means most of the girls can work Saturdays to get the Sunday off so scheduling it for a Saturday was just daft. It wasn't long ago that a player had to leave before extra time in a game as she works in the ambulance service and had to start her shift. All teams have part time players other than the big 3, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen have some full time players and some part time players, same as the men's Scottish championship.
Brian Graham knew from the start he could potentially miss it and he would have had it not been moved so overall its the correct decision to change it to the Sunday
It's the correct decision to move it, would have been even better if it was played in Glasgow as they would get a much bigger crowd

Interesting, thanks.
If you are playing in a cup final and work on a Saturday( not sure how many do) then try and get the day off.
Also aren’t the SWPL games played on a Sunday ? That will affect neutrals turning up. Tinpot decision.

So you would rather accommodate a "neutral" and change day rather than suit the people who play on a Sunday every week?
How many of the players work on a Saturday ? How many work on Sundays ? How many would not be able to get a day off if they put in for the day off given the time between now and the final ?
You clearly would rather accommodate the Partick manager than keep the game when it was arranged for.

Sky cup final and one of the ads going across the screen showing Sunday the 25th.
St Mirren Park could have been considered.
They don't play a home game between 2nd March and 6th April.
Chances are one or both OF sides would contest the final.
It was held at Tynecastle last season and the attendance was 3727 and that was Hibs in the final.
But take the game to the other side of the country instead of a ground that is 15 and 30 minutes by car from both finalists grounds.
