14000 Sevco Fans @ Marrayfield

[Frazerbob]

Hearts have given Sevco up to 14k tickets for their game at Murrayfield. At £28 a pop, that's nearly £400k towards the new bus shelter "funding gap". Farce!

Avoid Edinburgh that day. There will be carnage

It won't be £400k profit though.

They have to pay rent to the SRU, they get nothing from the catering either. They will also have to pay for the stewarding and extra police.

Less £65k VAT, less the SRU's share, ..... less security staff?

£250k-£300k profit is still a farce.

Wonder how many tickets we will get when we play them

[660]

Who do we play when they play the huns?

[18Craig75]

Doesn’t even cover their total rental costs for their games at Murrayfield I’d bet.

Surprised at this - they only took 16k themselves to the Aberdeen game.

I am stunned that plod are allowing this - the 3500 that normally come along are bampots already so whats it going to be like when there are another 10000 or the neanderthals, especially if they lose to Hearts???

Motherwell away. Hearts game kicks off at 12:30, will be fun in Edinburgh at lunch time

A lot of them won’t go because they hate Hearts for their hypocrisy regarding their financial issues.

They made more profit from the Aberdeen game than they would have done if it had been a normal game at Tynecastle, so if Rangers take 3 times as many fans this'll just increase their profit.

Doesn't matter how much profit they're making these cheating ****ers knew exactly what they were up to when they sold season tickets for there new super duper stand whilst all along knowing they would be using Murrayfield. They're at it. As much as I hate The Rangers fans I hope they avoid the game and it costs them thousands instead of making them thousands.

Still be pulling in more money than what they would make at Tynecastle let’s not kid ourselves on here.

[Frazerbob]

No danger the additional near £400k will be swallowed up by costs. They are making a killing out these games at Murrayfield. 7000 extra fans at the Sheep game, could be up to 15000 extra fans at the Huns game. That's well over half a million in extra ticket sales. You're not telling me the SRU rent and a few extra security costs £250k per game. With the likelyhood that the NY Derby will be there added to all the other games, it's not rediculous to suggest they'll make £1m or there abouts from their monumental **** up. All very dubious IMHO.

Started a thread about this topic last month with their 8 home games on the trot. Sporting integrity, none what so ever. If one team been playing their the other 10 should be as well.

[Keith_M]

So what? I really don't see why anybody gets so worked up about this.

If they make some money towards their funding shortfall, how does it affect us?

[MacGruber]

The tickets for Murrayfield should have been capped at the capacity of Tynecastle (pre stand demolition)

it's an out and out piss take. Teams were stopped by SPL for groundsharing in order to avoid teams making more money in bigger grounds, or switching grounds to play the old firm/big cup games.

They should have been hit in the pocket for their **** up instead they are profiteering. Probably be the difference in them pipping some other team to a signing in January.

Piss take

[SirDavidsNapper]

Won't be any segregation. They'll all link arms and have a good old sing song together. Won't see them for all the union jacks

[jijihibby]

It will be a bigot-fest.

[G B Young]

I'd be surprised if sevco took 14k to the game, but I guess they probably have a lot of fans in Edinburgh who wouldn't normally go to a game and will maybe go to this one out of interest/novelty value. As others have pointed out I'm surprised the police have given this the nod and one can only assume the policing bill will be a lot higher - which will hopefully eat into any profit Hearts might make.

The exploitation of their failure to get their stand finished on schedule by arranging only the most money-spinning fixtures at Murrayfield is nauseating and I wouldn't be surprised if the ongoing 'go slow' on that crappy stand they're building is designed to ensure their next 'home' derby is played at SRU HQ. Aside from a shortfall in cash what else would explain the snail's pace progress on what is essentially just a bog standard football stand?

Think it’s more the principal of it. They’ve cut Rangers Celtic and Aberdeen’s allocation of late at Tunis. Now come out with the begging bowl.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Embarrassing. Only big clubs give the away team 14k tickets

They should have given them 50K. Kept enough over for themselves.

Kind of agree - we could do the same thing if we really wanted to play our games at a rugby stadium.

Let them get on with it.

As far as I know, it's on the old tellybox. A day for the telly and save yourself a few bob.
