Despite howls of derision from fans of both Dunfermline and Hibernian, the Tennent's Scottish Cup semi final replay will take place on Tuesday April 24th at Hampden Park with a 7.45pm kick off.
The match will be all-ticket and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
Dunfermline Athletic supporters will be housed in one half of the BT Scotland South Stand, with Hibernian supporters allocated the other half along with the North Stand. Ticket prices will NOT to reduced, so Pars fans will be paying £22-£25.
Personally, I think the SFA should hang their heads in shame. Tynecastle is by far and away a more suitable venue and a sell out with a cracking atmosphere would be near enough guaranteed. Now we'll be lucky to get over 10,000 fans inside the 52,000 seat National Stadium as Glasgow, especially from Fife, is difficult to get to on public transport, ticket prices have not been reduced and there will be no cash turnstiles in operation. Disgraceful.
As a result of the replay taking place a week on Tuesday, Andy Tod's testimonial match, which was due to take place at East End Park on Monday April 23rd, will now be rescheduled. Full details of this will be released by the club shortly.
