Falkirk demanding ticket equality

The Bairns took just 7,000 fans to Hampden for Sunday's semi-final against Dunfermline but believe they could bring 25,000 to the May 30 showpiece.The SFA will meet both finalists on Tuesday to discuss their allocations at the 52,000-capacity national stadium.They are keen to avoid a repeat of the poor attendance at both semi-finals and the best chance of ensuring that appears to be giving the lion's share of tickets to Rangers.But Falkirk will argue they deserve equal billing.Managing director George Craig told the club's official website: "This is a massive occasion for the club and a day for the entire district to enjoy."We are sure getting to the final has given everyone a big lift; they have a smile on their faces and a spring in their step."So we want them all to share in out success when we return to Hampden and they can show they are proud to be Falkirk fans."On Saturday, May 30, there will be 11 men against 11 on the pitch and, to make it a level playing field, we feel there should be 25,000 fans backing each team as well."Therefore, we will meet with the SFA next week and state our case for a 50/50 split of the ticket allocation."The SFA claim they would consider giving Falkirk a larger share of tickets if they can demonstrate a demand for them.
