The 5% charge was definitely included for semi final tickets. Pretty sure it's always been there. Not 100% sure right enough, as I generally pay cash to avoid paying the 5% charge for paying by card. The club has the database of ST holders but if they outsource that to a call centre then that's where the problems start. Sure they could send out a list but transferring the entire database is a fair task.

Because then anyone could phone up for a ticket. Besides is there not always a 5% charge for buying tickets? Was certainly the case for the semi final.

As in none left.

Not exactly official but the word in the shop down the street today was that the final allocation was the agreed 16,059. EDIT: The club has been arguing its case for the last 10 days trying to be allocated extra tickets They also think they might not need to have a ballot if things carry on as they are going. Plenty of pre-orders for new season tickets have been taken which has boosted the number of tickets sold.

He's away back to Cyprus. Released a couple of weeks ago I think.

We need to keep him match fit for the final though.

The Sutton to Rangers story has been doing the rounds since the start of the year. He'd be going their as back-up to Jelavic I reckon. Don't see those 2 being a partnership. I suppose the Hateley one makes sense given his links to McCoist via his da' and agent. He's hit a bit of form again recently and I can't see Diouf or Davis being there next season so they'll need to bolster midfield.

Is there a limit to the number of tickets you can apply for in the ballot?

I don't think that's what he means. I think he's talking about the pre-sale for people who buy a season ticket for next season. i.e Trying to give those who don't have 1 this season a wee nudge towards pre-ordering next season's season ticket just to unsure they get a cup final ticket

It probably will be. They'll just be waiting to see how the league is standing at that point. They will either show the game of who has already won the league, or they will be broadcasting both games simultaneously

I always had it in my head that was a 1-0 game.

Cup final ALWAYS kicks off at 3pm.

You lot should be playing Champions League football by now should you not? Competing for the trophy in 3 years, was that not what Vlad said?

It's not really made much difference in England. They might even be worse now.

We've had plenty of white away strips recently, I doubt it's taken him until this seasons strips to come to this conclusion. Probably more likely it'll become a 3rd kit to allow a new away strip. That was the usual plan until a couple of seasons ago.

Did we find out yet who she's been playing/getting wet with?

Was it not a case of people collecting the stuff themselves from the guys with the boxes of stuff at the top of the stairs, rather than everything already being laid out at each seat?

Does Willie Haughey not still have the sponsorship right this season? He had them last year and gave them up to the government to put the 'homecoming' name to it. Pretty sure he had the same set up this season.

Gok Wan on their side or not, still seems like they are well out of order. Sounds to me like a bunch of dicks that can't dish it out but cannae take it. The type that'll stand and have a go at someone and call them all sorts, then just say 'we're just kidding mate, only having a laugh'. Then as soon as someone says anything back they run off to call their mates for back up and tear into the lot of them.

Paul Harvey has himself a trade. Pretty sure he's a joiner. Seen him on the train a few times heading into Milngavie in the mornings with his tool kit.

Easily. Here's the way I'm looking at it. Something around 7,000/7,500 there yesterday. You can guarentee everyone one of those will know at least one person who didn't go yesterday but will definitely be at the final. That takes it to about 15,000, and that's being conservative about it. Then you start to add ex-pats and peoples families and kids who will all be going along too. It's not long in adding up.

The only prediction I'll me this early is that everyone is well short with their thoughts on our crowd. I think we could easily take 20,000 to this. I hope the club wont be bullied about how to split the allocation.

With his tie round his head, the cup full of booze and 1 shoe missing.

Make that 4, 'cause Wigan are doon. As well as that, Sieb went on to be a prison guard or something along those lines.
