Did we not decide this was a myth? I'm sure it's happened before in the South (maybe with Hibs above other fans?).

Possibly the Hamilton play-off game...

Yep, it's been the case at a few games at Easter Road and also both Hibs and Hearts fans being below Rangers fans at Ibrox. It's never huge numbers but still happens

Not a myth.

Hamilton was vertical split.

Many moons ago it did happen, I can recall Hibs in upper and Killie below and we used to get lower Broomloan at Ibrox. Long time ago and hasn't happened in a long, long time.

When did it happen last at Easter Road then?

Off the top of my head, the Hamilton play off game springs to mind.

100% there was Hibs fans above Hamilton fans. I was in the south stand that day.

Nope, you'll have to go further back than that.

Not sure if this will link properly; but there are Hibs fans above Hamilton fans (maybe they turn a blind eye for so few?):

I was in the West and I'm positive there wasn't.

Picture anyone?

Only way to truly sort out here.

Will apologise if I'm wrong.

Actually we're wrong, you're right. See the image of south stand here: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=hibs+hamilton+playoff&client=ms-android-google&prmd=nsvi&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ah UKEwjwso2MgObWAhVCCpoKHUdtB2IQ_AUIFSgE&biw=412&bih =604&dpr=2.63#imgrc=khfzVYNFD03sSM:

If you ignore the bit where the fans overlap, yeah.

Yes, apologies MWC, no two ways about that as picture in conclusive.

I think that may have happened by accident as opposed to design however as I'm sure you will find this hasn't happened since then and it won't happen this weekend either.

Got my slide rule out and agree there is a 45mm overlap.

Joking aside MWC has posted a picture with a whole section overlap.

I think it's just the way the sections in upper and lower don't align, and do wonder if, as you said, it was an accident.

At which point can the South be segregated to only give Hibs 1 section at the bottom (and top if required since Aberdeen couldn't go there) and the rest to Aberdeen?

**Delboy4** · 10-10-2017 12:16 PM

The only games I can remember was when we were in the Championship when McLeish was the gaffer. Most games were a sell out and the away fans had
the corner in the bottom left.

Also, one of the best nights (apart from the result) AEK Athens - they had half the bottom tier and we had everywhere else!

The fact they don't align makes it a wee bit trickier, granted.

If we only fill 26 and the wee section 31 above it then you have to question if it is worth the effort.

I think we will get more than that, possibly 27?

As of earlier this morning Aberdeen haven't announced whether they are getting extra tickets or not, guy at work waiting t find out if he's going or not. My take is Hibs and Aberdeen should have sorted this out and made an announcement by now.

For the second Falkirk game at ER that season I was in the South upper with my wee cousin, with Falkirk fans below (and I think it's pushing it a bit to say that 'most' games were a sell out).

DUNDEE UTD WHEN we got relegated under Eck. We had whole of upper South. DU had all of lower South.

I notice that the front 3 or 4 rows of the section above the Hamilton fans is empty so there is a segregation gap above and to the side of the Hamilton fans.

The front two rows of the upper tier are easily blocked off, so I see no reason why Hibs can't give the remaining upper tier sections to Aberdeen.

Some people have suggested there's an SFA or SPFL rule in place to prevent home fans being above away fans, or vice-versa, but I've yet to see anybody quote the actual rule, or give a link to it.

I think there is but you're right I can't find it or provide a link.

***Frazerbob*** · 10-10-2017 01:33 PM

When the old main stand was demolished my ST was moved to the South Upper, above the away fans. This included a Derby (Mixu missed last minute penalty).......we managed without moving to Murrayfield.

Hibs fans had the whole South Upper against Airdrie in the play off first leg in 1997.

Loads of missiles getting thrown down on the Airdrie fans below. Shame.

**SChibs** · 10-10-2017 02:24 PM

Under Williamson I sat above Partick thistle fans in the South, we lost 3-2

Indeed. The final Falkirk match was a sell out. No others were to my recollection.

And it was Division One not Championship back then.
