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?

celtic do. rangers don't as they aren't big enough.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Not shocked that the first time we play them would be at ibrox

Because it will probably be online ticket purchase only

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.

What game was our last visit there? Was it the 4-2 game?

Yup, numerous reports of missiles being thrown. Was that the game our players were having stuff chucked at them when taking corners?

[Hibernia&Alba]

I will certainly try for a ticket

Wasn't that the play off game, when Scott Allan was still our player?

Was at the 4-2 game, was a pretty intense atmosphere, a lot more intense than any in the last few years. Pretty sure the game where players got chucked stuff at them was the play off game.

This game will be moved for TV imo

[Lago]

Need some players in before we head over there, current squad needs bolstering.

Maybe I'm making this up but I thought Huntic had an agreement that the only home games shown from Greyskull and Darkheid were the games between them because they lose too much income when matches are moved.

Obviously but the game is almost 2 months away

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.

Fair enough, I have to admit I haven't been there for a couple of seasons now.

My general experience was a lot of bravado inside the stadium and the same people not having the guts to wait for you outside, but it might have changed since then.

When I lived in Glasgow, I used to go home via the Underground and got plenty of verbals, but only from a safe distance.

A nice wee chant to sing to the Orks fans

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

Haha 😂😂 priceless

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.

Not stirring things up, remember what happened for the derby cup game. The system couldn't handle it.

Example, yesterday I bought tickets for The Libertines at the Alhambra in Dunfermline. Only 1800 tickets available across two separate sites (ticketmaster and See Tickets) plus a small number on sale at the box office outlet in the Kingsgate. I was using the temperamental Premier Inn wifi in London and got on at 9am no bother and was finished purchasing tickets by 09:03. Hibs must use the cheapest of the cheap online booking system.

This game won't have anything close to the demand as the cup game at Tynecastle. For that game I reckon about 90 percent of season ticket holders would have been wanting tickets , this game about a quarter if you are lucky will.

I'd doubt the ticketmaster site ever crashes but a sharp spike in demand will create a queue. The site is set up for a number of sessions(thousands) and if there's already demand on the site - which on TM is most of the time - then sessions look like they've not connected. They have usually but you might have a long wait. It took my session 15 minutes till I got a screen up I could interact with for the Hearts game. Too late by then of course.

As for Der Hun I think the club should simply call it out before the game in a press conference challenging Rangers to ensure the safety of the travelling fans in and outside the ground. The club will use fans evidence of mistreatment by stewards or the polis and anything they get from media outlets. What can we do? Ban their away fans from our ground. At the very least this will draw attention from some news broadcasters who may even put themselves in our bit. I'll wind up the no surrender brigade having to behave but they've been getting away with that pash for years and it needs to stop.

Agreed. The demand for this game will be nothing like the cup game. That was our only chance of a derby last season and I also think a few folk will be wary of the trip to the hun in August. Some folk like to try and put a dampener on anything though.
