If it comes down to a play-off with them then they should get 450 tickets as we will likely sell out that game no problem.

You reading this Leeann.

We got 950 for Ibrox, if we only give them 450, loads of Hibs fans that go home and away won't get a ticket for Ibrox

Totally agree.

I believe we could easily sell 18-19,000 tickets for a play off match at Easter Road against Sevco.

There's no chance that they should be getting their normal allocation after what's happened here.

As an aside, how are the police and stewards going to cope when there's more than 7,000 Celtic fans going to Ibrox whenever the Old Firm league games start back up again?

I wonder if they'll be limited to 900 tickets.

Three sections of the South lower will be roughly 950 tickets, give them that for home league game.Then do the same for any possible play off & sell the upper South to Hibs fans. Whilst holding them in for 20 min after final whistle. It's only fair to return their gesture.

Okay give them 900 and there can be no complaints from them.

Our stadium's smaller than theirs though.

They should be getting around 360 tickets, which would roughly match the percentage of tickets that we get for Ibrox.

Loads of loyal fans are missing out this one anyway!

Good point, and should be taken in to consideration, does Billy agree with this.

Nope

So we agree.

**Hannah_hfc** · 07-02-2015 09:17 PM

I think it should be suggested to Hibs that the fans feel a reduced away allocation at ER would be most appropriate as a result of Newcos antics regarding this match, maybe a petition nearer the fixture?

At least make them wait till the last week and try and sell out ER with as many Hibees as possible first!

I honestly don't think that will happen considering the statement on the website is stating that Sevco have told Hibs that the main reason that we're not getting any more tickets is because the police have put forward this request.

Hibs seem to have accepted this response so I don't see us doing anything in return.

***Baldy Foghorn*** · 07-02-2015 09:29 PM

We are not in any position to reduce their allocation when they visit. We could do with their money.

**kaimendhibs** · 07-02-2015 09:33 PM

In a play off we will defo sell out. Give them the absolute minimum. ****

But if it was a end of season play off then we would sell out three stands and more, so get more Hibs fans in the South stand and limit the huns to 500.

***southern hibby*** · 07-02-2015 10:11 PM

The way I understand it, the police made this request. Show me the proof, they have a board that lie to each other never mind their own fans.
Is one director scared that the other will get a bigger bite of the money Hibs fans would spend on tickets rather than him?
I for one am disgusted that we are being treated like this, Either from the police or from The Rangers board.

Is Behind The Goals open on Friday night?

hfc rd · 08-02-2015 12:24 AM

Hope we give them the absolute minimum when they come to ours. Did Hearts not give them half the Roseburn stand rather than the full stand? We should do something similar. Only give them a small section in the south.

The way I look at it is 3000 empty seats at £20 average... £60k will we really miss it that much? I wouldn't have thought so

Until we sell out the three stands on a regular basis I would never dream of cutting the away allocation to Rangers, Celtic or Hearts.

**B.H.F.C** · 08-02-2015 08:00 AM

For a league game I can barely ever remember needing extra tickets for Ibrox. Even the game earlier this year we didn't sell out. So, as we won't sell the 3 home stands out I don't think we should cut their allocation.

The playoffs are a different matter and if we don't get an increased allocation for that then I'd be in agreement with giving them as little as possible at Easter Road

They did but that's due to them having a higher demand for tickets in the home end. We wouldn't manage that for the next ER league game but a playoff could be a different story.

I would say £60k is not to be sniffed at, especially when our crowds are averaging around the 10,000 mark

***Keith_M*** · 08-02-2015 09:03 AM

Just imagine for a minute that the reason Sevco gave was genuine.

That would mean they've now established that no away team can ever be give more than 900 tickets for Ibrox, due to Safety fears.

Hmmmm.

It's actually nearer 4000 seats at £28, inc VAT

Totally agree, who is going to contact Police Scotland with a FOI requesting clarification?
