Hibs fans have reacted with disgust to news that just 600 fans will be allowed inside Hampden for the Scottish Cup Final.
The SFA made the announcement late this afternoon after the Scottish Government rejected their plan to have 2,000 fans inside Hampden for the match.
This weekend 25,000 fans will attend the FA Cup Final at Wembley between Chelsea and Leicester City and no doubt using the latest bet365 bonuskod but a week later less than 3% of that figure will be at the equivalent fixture in Scotland.
Throughout Lockdown the Scottish Government has been very reluctant to have fans back inside football grounds but with the European Championships coming next month 12.500 fans will be allowed to attend matches at Hampden.
? Club Statement
We can confirm that up to 300 Hibernian fans will be able to attend the Scottish Cup Final on 22 May. We are currently considering the fairest and best way to distribute the tickets and will let supporters know tomorrow. https://t.co/ODpOR1oxmL

Really how is this possible? 600 overall at a 50,000 seat stadium? pic.twitter.com/ganKQBJMMo

Is this a wind up? Is that it? I hope there’s not more beyond the 300 going to corporates etc! May as well give the 300 to the players families then.

@NicolaSturgeon There will be more at George Square again this weekend according to reports and will no doubt get a police escort to their ‘party’ but the patient fans following guidelines get hit with 300 tickets!
Joke!

Since they are allowing street parties at George’s Square on Saturday they should open up to full capacity for the final get the stadiums open

A 50,000 seater stadium with multiple entry and exit points all around to ensure the safest way around the restrictions. 300 fans. The SFA and Scottish Government never fail to disappoint. But down in England they had a fuckin rave with 6,000 folk in. Seems legit

As much as would love to be there I’ll enjoy it in the pub with my Hibby friends, for me give the tickets to players families, thank goodness we won it in 2016 though and we were all there to witness it? #GGTTH
