They'd struggle to sell 10 thousand against us.Looks like the Sheep have chucked it, wonder how many they would have sold if it was they were playing? The vermin aren't as big a draw for them as us

Well whether you judge them to be in their right mind or not, the irrefutable fact of the matter is that they do. In their many thousands.Nobody in their right mind would choose the east or west before the north stand at Hampden, these days. Or at least, very few would.
Any Hertz fan watching us on Sunday past should be desperate for a ticket.Hearts don't fair well against us. Probably expecting a pumping.
They'd probably sell more against Aberdeen or Celtic
From what I read is, that Hearts Charity have bought the remaining tickets and will distribute them, losing them money, but leaving no empty seats. I think!I wouldn't say tbf. Hearts are paying for the tickets, therefore it's theirs to do as they wish. If they couldn't get rid of the allocation then there's an argument to be had.
Spot on, we have zero right to 51%+ of the stadium just because we have more ST holders, it's a mental statement to make.That's what happens in national Semis. die hard man utd fans will miss out to Coventry trippers too - both deserve a 50/50 split though.
It was their test and they have almost sold out and they have paid for all the tickets, how have they failed? Club bought the tickets, fans pay for tickets off club, stands aren't empty. What more do you want?
Not really I just haven't got a superiority complex and feel the need to rip supporters of other clubs who have sold a vast amount of tickets for a game, and a competition they are unlikely to win.
They have managed to shift almost all of their equal share. How they do so is nowt to do with anyone.
Summed up perfectly.Spot on, we have zero right to 51%+ of the stadium just because we have more ST holders, it's a mental statement to make.
Your comparison to Man Utd v Coventry is a good one and very comparable in terms of a massive club with huge ST numbers v a smaller club with less. Both have got 50/50 of Wembley and rightly so.
Hearts have done what they've done to give themselves an equal support in the stadium and not gifting their opposition (us) in a neutral cup tie a supporting advantage and it looks like it'll work as they'll have a very close to sold out or sold out end of Hampden. Why would Hearts want more Rangers fans in the ground if they know they can get close to a full end? No club would vote for that and why should they.
It's unfortunate some of our support will miss out but it's a neutral cup semi final and that's it. Simple.
The reason there’s a 50/50 split at Wembley is because clubs like Coventry can easily sell their allocation.Spot on, we have zero right to 51%+ of the stadium just because we have more ST holders, it's a mental statement to make.

That's fair enough then, they've sold them one way or the other.From what I read is, that Hearts Charity have bought the remaining tickets and will distribute them, losing them money, but leaving no empty seats. I think!
You mean someone got a ticket and you didn't know they were a Hearts fan?F*ck off with that brainless pish mate.
There's zero argument for these never-go-to-a-game cunts that Hearts are giving these tickets to, because their core support couldn't deliver, to get spots ahead of hardcore Rangers fans who go week-in, week-out.
And this isn't a one-off with this mob. The fat bitch in admin in my work, who I didn't even know was a Hearts 'fan', ended up getting a ticket to the last semi we played against them.
It's a joke and I'm hopeful the SFA will now act accordingly in all future matches. And the wee teams won't have a leg to stand on.
ST+10% and be grateful.
Thanks for that, Sherlock.There wont be empty seats.
Every one of their ST holders who wants two tickets will get them.Aye but seemingly it's fair forsome reason according to some.
Every single one of their STHs potentially gets a ticket while less than half ours do
Hearts in selling tickets to Hearts fans shocker!Thanks for that, Sherlock.
The whole of FF knows this.
It's the method of filling those seats to the exclusion of loyal fans that is the talking point.
It's a neutral cup tie, how do you keep it neutral but give us 51%+ of the allocation?Every one of their ST holders who wants two tickets will get them.
Crazy. Lock out the fans that fund the game but let in the glory hunters.
Cup game at a neutral venue. Nobody should start with an advantage, if possible. Sporting integrity and all that. We can't have it both ways.Every one of their ST holders who wants two tickets will get them.
Crazy. Lock out the fans that fund the game but let in the glory hunters.
There is no sporting integrity in Scottish football, a phrase used by the scum to get their own way and their appeasersCup game at a neutral venue. Nobody should start with an advantage, if possible. Sporting integrity and all that. We can't have it both ways.
No Noddy, Hearts fans in giving away Hearts fans tickets shocker.Hearts in selling tickets to Hearts fans shocker!
Surely this is a good thing for the people that get the tickets, maybe The Charity Foundation should put on Buses for them as well.In what way? Hearts have bought their whole allocation. The remaining tickets are being bought off the club by their community foundation to give tickets to people who otherwise couldn't afford to go but would like too support their team.
We would sell out our allocation at the drop of a hat and we would still only satisfy a fraction of our support.Here is a question, we reached a European Final against Barcelona, should they get more tickets because they have more ST holders?
But surely they are allowed to do so as it's a neutral cup semi final?We would sell out our allocation at the drop of a hat and we would still only satisfy a fraction of our support.
Hearts are still trying to punt tickets 4 weeks on.
My point is people saying we should get more tickets for a semi-final, if the shoe was on the other foot, there would be a meltdown on here.We would sell out our allocation at the drop of a hat and we would still only satisfy a fraction of our support.
Hearts are still trying to punt tickets 4 weeks later.
It's actually astounding that a lot of our support believe we're somehow entitled to 51%+ of a neutral cup allocation simply because we have a bigger support.The entitlement on here is off the scale at times
Hearts purchased them, the exact same way that we purchased ours. It's entirely up to Hearts what they do with their tickets.No Noddy, Hearts fans in giving away Hearts fans tickets shocker.
Okay, so where do we draw the line?But surely they are allowed to do so as it's a neutral cup semi final?
They are. And also providing lunch. Mental that anybody would have a problem with this.Surely this is a good thing for the people that get the tickets, maybe The Charity Foundation should put on Buses for them as well.
There are a lot of fans who would love to go but can't afford it.
That's because Forfar would never sell half the tickets. Hearts will be very close to it.Okay, so where do we draw the line?
If Forfar got to a cup final they wouldn't get half the tickets for the "neutral venue".
So erm! Hearts can't sell their allocation, but deserve half?
They maybe wouldn't sell 21k but they'd be as every bit entitled to it as we would be.Okay, so where do we draw the line?
If Forfar got to a cup final they wouldn't get half the tickets for the "neutral venue".
So erm! Hearts can't sell their allocation, but deserve half?
But we would never have a shoe on the other foot, absolutely never.My point is people saying we should get more tickets for a semi-final, if the shoe was on the other foot, there would be a meltdown on here.
Plus we get 25% of the money the Charity pays for
So who would get Forfar's unsold tickets?They maybe wouldn't sell 21k but they'd be as every bit entitled to it as we would be.
It will be a few hundred at most by kick off, or thereabouts. So they'll have about 5k more in the stadium than they would have had under the original plan to give them 15k.But we would never have a shoe on the other foot, absolutely never.
The ticket allocation has sated the appetite of 100% of the Hearts support and then more again.
We have satisfied a fraction of ours.
I'm not against a 50/50 split if a club has no problems selling their split, but quick clearly Hearts are having trouble.
Rangers. You're not seriously comparing Forfar with Hearts?So who would get Forfar's unsold tickets?
Pretty obvious isn't it? It doesn't change the fact that they should be allowed the chance to sell 50% of a neutral cup tie like Hearts have and will.So who would get Forfar's unsold tickets?
No, I'm doing the very opposite. I'm asking where do you draw the line?Rangers. You're not seriously comparing Forfar with Hearts?
That's great news that The Hearts Charity is making it a special day out for these particulour fans, although I hope they go back along the M8 disappointed.They are. And also providing lunch. Mental that anybody would have a problem with this.
You at least give them the chance, that's the whole idea of a neutral venue. And if they can't sell them, by all means hand them over to the club that can.No, I'm asking where do you draw the line?
You're clever enough to know what I'm asking Noddy without being arsey.
Falkirk, Dundee, Motherwell?
Where do you categorically state "No, you're not getting half?".
Hearts have been jumping through burning hoops trying to shift theirs.
That's great news that The Hearts Charity is making it a special day out for these particulour fans, although I hope they go back along the M8 disappointed.
Confused bunch are dolly ....half of them wouldn't know which team to support hence the low number of sales.Out of 19k allocation
Sorry mate.No team is inconsequential. Without other teams, there would be nobody to play.
No , I mean she barely had a passing interest in football and had never been to a hearts game before.You mean someone got a ticket and you didn't know they were a Hearts fan?
If you didn't know that should be enough to exempt them from ever getting a ticket.
Disgraceful what the country's coming to.
You’re another Jambo apologist , Noddy. Every time on every thread.Don't kid on that you support Rangers for the good of Scottish football. You don't.
It's up to Hearts how they sell their tickets for a cup semi at a NEUTRAL venue. As long as they are paid for (they are) and the vast majority are sold (they are) then it's feck all to do with us.
Not true. I've been consistent on here for years that cup semi finals and finals should be a 50/50 split, if possible.You’re another Jambo apologist , Noddy. Every time on every thread.
6 years since sheep beat scum , 6 fkn yearsThey’re honest to God as well not turning up
And that’s not praising Celtic, just a damning indictment of the Sheep players and fans.
