Swansea Cardiff too.

If the idiots of the weegie polis can police and herd 8000 Celtic supporters for Old Firm games at Ibrox I'm sure they an adequately look after 1000 of us.

Then again, in my experience more than plenty of police at Ibrox are as accommodating and welcoming of us as their pals in the stands.

The treatment of Hibs fans by the police at the hun dome has been disgracefull for as long as I can remember. Too many willing to turn a blind eye to the antics of the hun while pouncing on Hibs fans at the first opportunity. I've had a few chats with senior police officers at the games and they give you a good story but it never reflects their actions or what you see yourself.

They all stand singing their bigoted songs, spending the full 90 minutes watching the Hibs fans rather than the game itself. Coins, drinks the lot coming flying our way and nothing is ever done. Makes it all the sweeter when we go there and take the full 3 points...bring it on!

Think it may be used for Newcastle v Sunderland games aswell (or was previously).

Newcastle Sunderland was actually home fans only at both stadia for a number of years. It's conceivable...

[Ollie Reed]

Think we are doing their fans a slight disservice. I mean, what other set of fans give you numerous free pies and bovrils with a smile?

Even though those smiles reveal no teeth.

Anyone that goes, just be very careful. The cops are unlikely to help you.

I'm back from Wellington NZ, and I'll be able to catch this game, what's the chances of getting a ticket..? Usually only a 1000 or so?

No chance, unless you're a ST holder and queue overnight for a ticket.

Doubt there will be any queuing for tickets

I think 'transfer matches' are what I know as 'bubble matches' - this boils down to a limited number of away supporters, all of whom have to travel on officially authorised coaches which are convoyed to/from the stadium.

Has happened a few times in England (Blackburn v Burnley, Portsmouth v Southampton) but the only one I'm aware of still being in place is Chester v Wrexham in the Conference. Neither club believe it's necessary.

Cardiff v Swansea or vice versa is another game that this happens.

You don't think people will queue? You going to trust the online system when realistically there will only be about 700 available after away ST holders get theres.

Online only would be my guess.

My 13 year old son asked me if we could go to the game, I said no way are you going as it will be total chaos. He said I know that why I want to go!! The exuberance and innocence of youth. To be honest when I was a teenager and into my early 20s I used to love going there too and was never in any fear. We were a brazen as you like even though on the Alloa bus we once travelled with only 9 of us on a 53 seat bus! Won 1-0 and got the back window bricked. We made a hell of a noise in the wee tunnel at the Kingston bridge surrounded by Huns in their cars and buses. Great times with a great bunch of young men who didn't give a **** about the Huns or their fans. Not sure that now we are in our late 40s and early 50s we would be quite the same! Anyway good luck to anyone who does go

[Onion]

Talk in the press about Hun "revenge" is as as misplaced as the media's assertion that the post-match trouble would lessen our enjoyment of 21 May 2016. They STILL don't get it. NOTHING will dillute, lessen or replace the day we beat the Huns with 10 to go in the Hampden sun and certainly not a bog standard Prem league match

Well you always do like to stir things up to look as bad as possible for any high demand game. Even though you are sorted. Tedious to say the last.

[Albanian Hibs]

I cannot wait for this!

[Phil MaGlass]

To be honest i have been to Ibrox on numerous occasions and enjoyed the aggro. I have also witnessed their polis arrest their casuals. If I could get to this game I would. No hun bassa would stop me. Good luck tae the ones who go. Make sure you stay in groups and are organised.

[Pete]

Rangers will be an unknown entity this season and it could go either way. I hope the segregation is up to scratch for our visit.

Getting the bigger boys early can be a good thing as you might catch them when they're cold and turn them over. In Celtics case you might only get beat 1 or 2 nil instead of being thrashed.

There's a lot of exaggeration of what it's like going to Ibrox. The majority of times I've been there was little to no bother.

I've always thought that as well. The last time we were there was different though, the hatred had went up a notch or two.

Since then we've had the cup final. And Neil Lennon being there is sure to wind them up even more.

Wouldn't stop me going but it'll be an interesting day.

I have a feeling this will be the first game moved for tv purposes

Depends who Celtic are playing that weekend as their away games are normally the ones on the telly.

Guess it depends on how you travel to/from the games. Agree that once your inside its nowhere near as bad as when they used to sit above us. This time might be different though.

Generally I agree, this time might be a little bit different though. Certainly around the ground pre and post game.

Also worth mentioning the last visit there was probably the most uncomfortable it has been inside the ground in a long time and that was before the cup final and Neil Lennon were thrown into the mix. I think, in their tiny minds, we became the target of Rangers sectarian hatred for the 2 seasons we were in the Championship together and the cup final has cemented that hatred for the foreseeable.

On the whole being hated by Rangers makes me feel quite warm and fuzzy inside.

Looking forward to it if lucky enough to get a ticket

Been thinking, what's the chances of this game getting postponed? Do rangers and celtic not usually postpone a home game every August to take part in some dodgy friendly against an EPL team?

[Topographic Hibby]

Seem to remember a blog after the last OF game complaining at the lack of stewards at the game. The one where an orc got on to the pitch to confront Broon.

As well as suitable security for the fans, we should be insisting on suitable pitchside security for the players, including the tech area beside NL. Namely, get TRFC to "pay" for professional security stewarding, not some half-hearted volunteer arrangement they were trying to get by with last season.

Wouldn't want our goal celebrations ruined by some Sevconian wanting to make a name for themselves.

When the Hibs went up to lift the Scottish Cup you were there you were there 🏆

Surely 'When the Hibs went out on to the Hampden pitch we were there'?

[Captain Trips]

A sound thrashing will be given to The Rangers as their new recruits fail to settle once they actually here the drivel sang at matches.

We will do them in their own house of that I have no worries 3 - 1 to us.

[CraigHibee]

I'm definitely hoping to get a ticket for this, will be some atmosphere

[pacorosssco]

Honestly think Petrie and LD need sit in with fans away end. The behavoir in play off was shocking. S.Allens every corner met a missile. It will be worse unless they score quick easy win.

When the hibs, went up..
