Allocation changed.
So we now some of the Wheatfield and the Roseburn.
Will Bonnyrigg be sharing the Wheatfield with us? Not sure how they would segregate that pre and post match.
Common sense at last, but what plonker(s) came out with the original plan?
I expect us to sell out the Roseburn and spread our way along most of the Wheatfield.:thumbsup:
It doesn't actually say how many tickets we have ..... the Roseburn holds about 3,000 and the Wheatfield about 6,000. I'm guessing we will have about 6,000 tickets, which means Bonnyrigg having to sell the same, there's going to be a lot of Yams at this one methinks.
Here is what the Rose website says. Looks like they have 2/7th of the Wheatfield if they sell out the Gorgie Road Stand. Much more sensible than the first plan. Hopefully, it will be all Hibs in two stands and all Bonnyrigg in the other.
Following consultation with Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian and Lothians & Borders Police our original seating allocation has now changed. We will be allocated the Gorgie Stand as per original communication and also sections A & B of the Wheatfield Stand should demand be sufficient. Hibernian will be allocated the remainder of the Wheatfield Stand and also the Roseburn Stand.
Tomorrow's ticket sale will be for the Gorgie Stand only. There will be a further ticket sale for the Wheatfield Stand next week if Gorgie Stand tickets are sold out.
I presume the younger concession ticket is only for aged 15 and under and not 16 and under??
I think we are in danger of vastly over estimating the amount of Bonnyrigg fans who will be in attendance, even allowing for the undercover yams who will boost their numbers and our share of the revenue!
Yep. Didn't read that properly before posting. Would imagine it'll be the same principle for Bonnyrigg fans though, enter via Gorgie turnstiles where most of their fans are as, like the roseburn end, you can walk right round to the wheatfield. If they even need it.
I can imagine a lot of 16 & 17 year olds will be 15 for the day.
Not quite sure how this will work.
Hibs get roseburn end - enter usual away entrances.
Hibs fans in Wheatfield - surely have to use Wheatfield entrance / exit and Rose fans use behind goals entrances.
Can't have everyone using roseburn entrance as that wouldn't be able to cope and same with exiting.
This is a total balls up. We all as a family wanted to go and thought in a 17000 stadium we would be able to buy tickets for ST and non ST holders together. They can stick their £20 tickets up their **** for all I care now.
I assume the singing section will be behind the goals.....😄
I agree that balls up is a suitable description. With the greatest respect to Bonnyrigg Rose, this is hardly a glamour tie so cash gates would seem to be the best option for all parties.
The main aim stand will not be open for the match, so not a 17000 stadium.
We aren't getting enough tickets to cover all season ticket holders, therefore they cannot put on a general sale until they've all had an opportunity to purchase. Part of the benefits of being a season ticket holder.
