Dundee United fans…Celtic Park then Hampden on the same day

Hospitality package makes for a quirky day-out in Weeg

We here at WeKnowSFA have always got a touch of Cup Fever but the doctor promises us it will go away eventually. This is good news because the Active Nation Scottish Cup semi-finals are just over a week away and we wouldn’t want to get too excited.

Okay, on paper the two matches aren’t the most thrilling but the chances of upsets are alive and who knows which two teams will book their place in the showcase final.

If you support any of the four teams and you want to be at the game, you should be able to get a ticket. We can’t see Hampden being a sell-out for either match.

Celtic v Ross County is on the Saturday whereas Dundee United v Raith Rovers is on the Sunday.

Like all matches, the hospitality packages for the semi-final are big business and Dundee United are hoping to entice some of the Arabs to splash the cash.

For £120 + VAT, you can guarantee your ticket for the main stand at Hampden, be greeted with a reception at Tannadice, travel to and from Glasgow on a luxury coach and of course, there is a champagne reception and three course meal at Celtic Park prior to kick-off.

Hold on a minute, Celtic Park?

Yes, the hospitality package for United fans will see the Terrors travel to the luxurious East End of Glasgow where they will obtain a close-up view of the construction of the Velodrome opposite Celtic Park. With the 2014 Games coming up fast, the revitalisation of Glasgow’s East End is gathering pace.

So, given that the fans will be arriving at Tannadice, this will mean the fans will be at three football stadiums in one day, not quite a record but certainly a tad unusual.
