    God, I remember that well - even the sound of them from the lower half was pretty scary. I can't remenber what the exit procedure was but I'm sure it wasn't via the East exit (held back perhaps?).

    I'm also pretty sure that we wouldn't fill half a stand without there being walk-ups, which would surely not be allowed.

    Anyway, the game will be played on the pitch and the team managed to cope with 40k baying huns so I really don't see what everyone's problem is. Whatever, it will be a great atmosphere.
    If the East was still being built, then presumably that was the reason you couldn't exit that way back then.

    Looking at Google Maps, it appears it's perfectly plausible for Hibs fans in the South to enter from the East - looks like it's just a case of opening a gate? So they'd just need some segregation at the back of the South, and it looks fairly easy?

    Giving them half the stand will obviously mean a lot less of a support behind them, but it will also further piss them off. So if we are confident of selling out, which we will if we are near the top of the league, it's a no brainer.

    In light of all their greeting , petitions and reporting Lennon to the police i think we should give them **** all for the ER game , Im pretty sure we could fill most of the south against them since were going for 4 in a row if not Id sooner see the South stand empty than have it full of those cretins

    Start selling the tickets now to see how many will be bought by the home support.

    even if we didn't manage to sell out the other half of the stand (which i think we would regardless) i'd give them minimum amount and they can count themselves lucky they are getting anywhere near Easter Road.

    I would 100% cut their allocation. No questions asked. Hearts did it. We'd easily sell south stand seats.

    If segregation can be safely then yes, cut their allocation to half of the away stand. And if the club thinks demand from the home suppport is strong enough then limit them to the lower tier as well.

    At no point are the rangers fans sitting directly above us. You are not allowed to have that in stadiums now. Some SPFL rule.

    In view of the death threats against Neil Lennon on social media this morning, the club would be entirely justified in not allowing any SEVCO follower anywhere near ER that evening.

    I agree and wonder if the Club have already considered doing just that.

    Non ST holders who are on the Club's data base and a history of buying tickets,though.

    I too would like to see "them" getting as few tickets as possible.

    They were not, Above the Hibs fans is a door to a stairwell with a steward standing there.

    I agree 100% We should give them 1000 tickets and allow our fans to hopefully purchase the remaining seats in the south stand.

    There is about three rows of seats in front of the "entrance". At least 4 or 5 of the seats is directly above the Hibs support. I was looking directly up at one of the guys I know in the Rangers end, sitting in his seat, and he was directly above the Hibs support.

    Right, thats not what is being suggested here, someone mentioned giving the rangers half the lower south and filling the rest with his fans. 100% will not happen.

    I get that, and fully understand why. I just can't see it being a rule when it clearly happens at Ibrox, whether it is 10 fans or 500 fans, it shouldn't happen. Your point was also "At no point are the rangers fans sitting directly above us." This clearly was the case.

    I would think the police would strongly oppose this. We are talking about something that the club have made no statement on. Chances are they will get the full end anyway, I want their allocation cut but not to the detriment of our club. Perhaps the fans reps can take this to LD for her to consider.

    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.
    I think it's untrue to say we lost money, albeit we didn't make as much as we could have.
