If derby is at Murrayfield, should Hibs limit our tickets

Not what one of the jambos I was chatting to in Slovenia who works on the Project was saying. He was pretty damn sure there will be a Boxing Day (or 27th) Derby at Murrayfield.

If this turns out to be the case I shall be flying up. Won’t be for Tynecastle.

Derby on 27th at Murrayfield would attract 30k plus roughly every split

Hearts will be back at ****castle after the Rangers game. It's nonsense to pretend otherwise.

Nonsense They should be back before the derby but to say they won't be back before December is far from nonsense.


In respect to the original question, its not up to Hibs. Would or could the yams not sell direct to Hibs fans and then in effect have as many of us that would buy tickets? I'm sure we've sold tickets direct to away fans before so what's to stop them from doing it?

Would reckon that a new year/Christmas time derby would sell a lot more than 30k. 40k easy if both sets of fans had unlimited tickets.

I think that's stretching it a bit. Even in 1973 at Tynecastle when there was no limit TT's "only" attracted 36,000k. 15-16k aside max I reckon

I don't think a rare derby at Murryfield is going to affect their income that much. A win for Hibs with a massive support is much more costly to them as a club.

Exactly. The opportunity to outnumber them at their own home game? No brainer.

[Geo_1875]

Any normal club would be embarrassed about their situation and pull out all the stops to get it sorted asap. Being the self-proclaimed "Famous" they will drag it out as long as possible to maximise potential income. Don't be surprised when in the near future they're bragging about a 30k+ attendance for a league game conveniently forgetting it wasn't played at their ground. That said, I think we'll play them at Tynie whether their stand is fully fitted out or not. Hopefully they don't put their fans lives at risk by rushing the job.

They have been puttin their fans lives at risk with that old asbestos fire hazard of a main stand for decades.

I think they'd get more than 20k home fans for a game against us at Murrayfield.

If we took 10k+, it would be a fantastic atmosphere.

[lucky]

I don’t get the attitude of restricting fans from going to a game. If it Murrayfield then I’d hope that everyone who want to go can get a ticket. Pumping them in front of 30,40 or 50k would fantastic

24,000 Hibs 18,000 Hearts would be my guess.

I'd be amazed if we took less than 30,000 to the game.

[McD]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the yams only gave us 3500, they’ll not want to risk a huge Hibs crowd, even if it would give them some money. Dunno what the police input would be either.

Nope. We should take as many as we can get. Very much doubt derby will be at murrayfield anyway, thoughts on how many we would bring if had no limit?

not read the rest of posts on this issue, but I seriously believe they have designed it this wayto maximise profits on the back of their "loan" of Murrayfield. I for one, feel that with it being a one off, the crowd for this would be enormous and the biggest crowd since we pumped them 7 nil. bring it on, give us 30k tickets or walk ups which would be even better. although the polis would be in a panic if that happened.

I'm now reading more into the posts. surely folk would want to be there, if the crowd could potentially outdo even an old firm new year Derby/ it would be a match most on here would regret missing, that is for sure if we were given 30k plus?

I don't know why people are getting their knickers in a twist.

Get as many hibbies there as possible.

I agree. I understand the reluctance to give Hearts the income, but it's a derby and we should have as many as possible there. It's damn difficult getting tickets for the PBS for most, so it would be a chance to have thousands at an away game. We'd easily take ten thousand I think.

Let them play in front of a empty stadium !
I'm not subsidising these *******'s.

What if they bid for Moult and get him in January with the “unexpected” windfall they gained from the large crowds at Murrayfield? £25x 14000 is £350,000

All personal opinion... but i dont want us to help them swell their coffers by circa 300k (or whatever the figure would be).

Just my view.

Why would we want to supplement their income?
I would rather give Hibs my money via the shop.

It's not a bizarre obsession, it's about having principles!
I simply loathe everything about that club,their shameful attitude to living within their means has no boundaries.

Thinking about this, and i wonder whether Hibs should just take our usual 3500 for any derby at murrayfield?

Why should we help them profit from their incompetence/ dishonesty.

I often go to tynie derbies, but i certainly wont be gping to any game st murrayfield to help dig them out of their financial hole.

In my opinion Hibs should absolutely not be helping them in amy way.

Good point.

A large gate will undoubtedly result in a large net profit for hearts. Hibs should request a cut. If not provided then I would endorse low Hibs attendance.

Why should Hearts of all clubs gain an unfair financial advantage.

Thats what annoys me about it. If it was a genuine problem that was beyond their control, and it really was just 'one of thosr things' id be a lot less cynical.

But they are gaming the situation, they are cheating and bending the rules (yet again). And im sure i dont need to remind anyone on here who suffered the most from their last bout 'series of unfortunate events outwith their control'.

Im just not prepared to be complicit in them cheating, or at least acting like craven, avaricious opportunists yet again and Hibs / Hibs fans helping them do it.

A game at Murrayfield that was worked and agreed beyween the clubs would be one thing, but this is Hearts trying (and succeeding so far) to gain indulgence and rule bending that no other club has had, yet again.

Imo, Hibs and Hibs fans should not be helping them gain anything on us.

And they would be lining our pockets with the reciprocal agreement of 3500 hearts fans attending the next match at Easter Road.

This is is not a reciprocal agreement. They are rinsing Hibs fans for extra money.

They are also rinsing their own fans by selling them season tickets for seats that didn’t exist.

This is ALL about them using every trick in the book to squeeze cash by whatever means out the Fans.

Every other team in the nation would have played with 3 stands and sold half season tickets at Christmas but because of their previous stealing and dishonesty a trick like this is second nature.

Thats fine though, thats business as usual and we get the same back from them at easter road.

This would be a case of them gaming the system to gain an advantage over us, and every other team.

Im not saying it should be a boycott or anything like that, just that we as a club, should treat it as business as usual, and take our normal allocation and not help facilitate this profiteering by them.

But i understand many dont agree, just my view.
