    Home game v Sevco 13 Dec

    We need to sell them 900 tickets max. Get the small band of orcs in the Dunbar End surrounded by Hibbies from all sides. We will sell out 19000+ tickets no problem. Get it done please Leeann this is one special season!

    I wouldn't give them any at all or at a push the same percentage as we were given at Ipox.

    They give us 2% of the total Stadium. If we did the same all they should get is 400.

    This would only work if we could sell the 19,000 to our fans. Christmas will be 2weeks away by then so I expect a full Dunbar end of huns unfortunately.

    Exactly, do it by percentage terms.

    As has been said on here it's purely down to money. We're not going to turn down the extra revenue of them filling the Dunbar end if we can't.

    That said, this is probably the best chance we'll have of doing it with the crowds being so high at the moment. It's really up to us here to get as many bodies through the turnstyles that day. Even if we end up giving them half the away end - that'd be something.

    I know retaliation is not usually the best foot forward, but with us only getting 900 tickets for Ibrox (considering the demand this time round.) I'm pretty sure they'll be expecting their usual full south stand allocation when they visit. I'd love to be able to get it up them and give them a much smaller amount.

    We had almost 17k home fans against Thistle.
    We could sell 19k no problem imo . A reduced Orc support would encourage otherwise stay away fans to attend .
    Get it done Hibs .

    Split the South in 2, no way they should get the whole end.

    Absolutely this. Show them the equivalent respect they show us. Just out of interest, how many do they give Celtc?

    One in one out rule with the toilets too. Inspected for vandalism regularly too.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    Agreed - more tickets for home fans.

    If fans keep turning up to ER it should take care of itself as the board will have no option unless it's already been pre-agreed ?

    Both Old Firm should only have some of the away end - makes such a difference when you limit the great unwashed in the capital and all their baggage.

    It doesn't matter if we lose some £, they rodents shouldn't be welcome in numbers at Easter road. From that wee laddie spat on from a hun bus to the final, to yesterday with all the previous they should always get as little as possible.

    We look like struggling the week up to it then free tickets to Hibs charity.

    If we're still playing like we are now then it's a no brainer. We'll be able to sell enough tickets to Hibs fans to justify giving them a few hundred tickets.

    Obviously a lot can happen in 4 months though so we'll just have to wait and see.

    If the demand is there from our own support though, we absolutely should limit their allocation.

    There's no minimum amount.

    This is the SPFL ruling on this matter;

    The Home club must make provision for the admission of such reasonable number of visiting supporters at every home League Match and Play-Off Match as may be agreed in advance with the Visiting Club and, in the event of their being unable to agree such number not later than 14 days prior to the date of the League Match or Play-Off Match in question, the number of visiting supporters allowed shall be determined by the Board whose decision shall be final and binding.

    If we are doing well in the league then the usual excuses like the one you have mentioned will be forgotten about

    The whole broomloan stand holds 8012. Thats what celtic get. The OF have an agreement like Hibs and Hearts, Celtic get the whole stand and in return The Rangers get roughly the same allocation at Parkhead. Interestingly all other teams seem to be getting 750 tickets for league matches away at celtic.

    I'm all for reducing their allocation although we tried this before then couldn't sell them to our own fans and lost money. I'd do the same to Celtic if they only offer us a measly 750 for Parkhead.

    without getting on to you, and having not read all the posts yet I do have to say that your comments will be absolutely at odds with the huge majority of fans on this site. we should indeed deny them the full end. give them as small an amount as possible, within the rules and mainly within the Safety of all fans, including the away support. No doubt the club will be considering best options, and if we are still on a "roll" at that point , it would make sense to accommodate more of our fans. there could also be a build up to Christmas Season Tickets .

    If we give them the full stand then a lot of our female and younger season ticket holders will stay away
    if we give them up a pittance we can fill the rest of the stadium if we are going well

    very relevant point.

    There is no way they should get the whole stand. Our demand for tickets will be too high to justify it.

    just read it, but money is not everything, when considering your Home support. plenty of clubs do that rather than looking through ££ glasses. previos cup games from small clubs proves that

    If we reduce and sell all our tickets then great. Would be not need to pay for extra policing though as there would need to be extra security as per yesterday? The no mans land would need to be rather large imo.

    Someone email LD and get the ball rolling for a reduced allocation for The Rangers and Celtic.

    Of course, Chick Young and every other media hack and commentator counts as an Orc. Once you add the officials, SFA representatives and 250 Obsessives who stalk our home games, that leaves zero for the Hun Hordes

    the polis wont keep the away fans behind after the game so with both sets of fans leaving the one end at the same time without segregation will be a no no.
    as good as giving them reduced tickets & us the other half of the away end sounds it will never happen
