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

    We did though as half the South was held back for Hibs fans and ultimately wasn't needed. Of course demand this time round could and should be higher. Reducing their allocation poses another issue for us, mainly them getting tickets in our end including hospitality. There was fights the last time they were in there.

    I am pretty confident the club will cut their allocation as the demand seems to be there at the moment and will only increase if we are sitting 2nd or 3rd around the time of the game.

    Lets say we have just shy of 13,000 season ticket holders which would mean around 6k tickets for walk up fans. That is 100% achievable.

    That doesn't mean we lost money though. Even with increased stewarding, the larger ticket price probably makes the break even figure around 10,000 for such a game.

    They would have to be on our database to buy a ticket in our stands. Sure they may have Hibs friends who might get them the odd ticket but surely we arent talking significant numbers. I think thats undue concern myself and a situation that should be manageable. Cut their allocation to half the South for me.

    Give them one section in the bottom right of the south stand.

    A free glass bottle full of pish for every Hibs fan who purchases a ticket in that stand should see it sell out rapidly.

    Agreed - the large amounts of them who infiltrated our end last time was mostly down to the fact that they could win the league that game. I very much doubt we'd get the same volume of them taking that risk for a midweek night game in December - especially now that we pish all over them

    I agree, however is there anything to stop them registering on e tickets and buying say a child ticket for a random cat B match then then they are on the database for when we play them?

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

    Can we start a petition to have Sevco's allocation cut to 900

    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

    We managed when east was being built south stand can leave via the east when gates are open and this is exactly what should happen

    Time to cut their allocation on a point of principle now. This 2% we get and 20% they get needs addressed and we can't let their inevitable whinging effect things.

    If it's costing us money then we can get creative to make some of it back. Anyway, we are a football team first and foremost and cash isn't everything.

    **** them.

    I agree let's start the ball rolling give them as little allocation as possible even if we don't sell out ours like vast majority of hibbys I speak to agree with me make them feel intimidated for a change !!!!

    Or 90+2 child tickets

    I'm really worried about this. Sevco seem to be narrowing the gap. We used to regularly pump them by 2 or 3 goal margins now we seem to be scraping by them 3-2 all the time. Could you imagine the Champions league celebration scenes if they got a draw with us?

    Just ban them completely and don't take up any tickets for Ibrox in future.

    When Lennon gets a lengthy apology from Club 1872 we'll maybe consider allowing them back.

    I'm starting to think this way too.

    We've had indirect statements from board members asking for action, we've also had sectarian abuse, police complaints over nothing and death threats. Oh, and a pitch invasion after they scored.

    The truth is that I don't want any of the filth near our stadium but we've grounds to ban them on safety reasons alone. It's only a matter of time before one of them does what that fat Drylaw hearts ******* did.

    The fans reps really really need to let the board know how strongly the support feel on this matter.

    2% of ER to the Huns is a must.

    Split the South in 2, no way they should get the whole end.
    Can it be split vertically so they can have the same experience that they give to visiting support at the dantedome.

    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.

    and thats why we should have filled the corners of ER so we could have squashed 900 rangers fans in one of them.

    Would be good for the fans representatives on the board to raise this at next meeting. Seems pretty unanimous from our supporters. Lets cut their tickets from now on please Hibs 👍

    Older fans will remember the TV show "Z Cars", a drama about the police in Liverpool.
    The theme tune is played at Everton games.

    Back in the day,when the polis used to come into The Cave to huckle someone, all the fans would whistle the Z Cars tune.

    Happy Days !!

    How funny would it be for every Hibs fan to where a Lenny mask just before kick off.. one of those cheap cardboard type things with an elastic attachment .. pictures in the papers would be hilarious.

    If ye want.
    Hum The Billy tune ? maybe not!
    However, the ram yer 1902 song is to the tune (well similar) of a sixties hit.

    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.

    Its all about the money !!
