Although we played something like 4 games in 8(ish) days in 08 in the run up to the final...i think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so 48 hours after a Thursday night game would take you to Saturday night around 10pm, which would mean Sunday at 12pm would be the earliest we could kick off.

Fuck no, the SPFL will have us playing at 22:05 and stop all transport to the game. Are you suggesting the owuld be sensible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

raging blue 1972 894 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 what about both semis at hampden on same day - one 12.30pm kick off (hibs and hearts) and allowing for extra time and penalties, the other a 3pm kickoff (us and them) - what could possibly go wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t really see any other option, unless they move our game against Killie to the Thursday night perhaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to happen, public transport will be swamped along with pubs and clubs around the ground and town. Monday night fixture looks interesting.

Especially with there being a very high possibility of it being Hearts & Hibs the other two teams! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Maybe they'll pull out all the stops and continue with the theme of putting the most incompetent linesmen and ref in charge of our game against Ayr in the hope that disallowing any goals we score will go unnoticed Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Enclosure Row N 2,820 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If they go with neutral venues, am pretty sure Rangers can refuse to let our ground be used.
