St Johnstone Dot Count

[Dashing Bob S]

They've opened the South already. Sign of the times?

Hibs Kids

[Peevemor]

Nah, the Belle Stars.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Bumper crowd for this I reckon. Wonder if Hearts could give us the spare seats they don't fill

[wookie70]

I think we should consider opening the south up for all games for Hibs fans except the Derby and possibly the ugly sisters. Go for a build it and they will come. It means lots of good seats with groups able to sit together rather than maybe putting some off because there are no seats left they like. Not sure of the costs involved and that may make it a non starter but there is something about showing we are ready to grow and almost expecting fans to fill the seats. Given where we are in the league and the buzz it may be a good time to extend the kids programmes. Much easier to start supporting Hibs when there is 17K plus at games and we are playing well and winning than at other times.

Frankly I’d reduce the OF to the same percentage of the ground that we get at theirs.

Do we need their money? Doubt it.

Give the Huns 1/50th and the tims 1/60th.

Hearts give us a similar allocation so that’s not such a big deal to me, they’re quiet anyway ;)

Tbh I am not sure that their money means a great deal to us.

We don’t rely on that extra money. As long as we sell the rest of the ground out then it doesn’t matter.
Even if we don’t sell it all out I don’t think it’s that big a deal.

Coming back for Singapore for 2 and half weeks. Got your in the West with two sons and a mate. Can't wait.

I would love nothing more than for Rangers and Celtic to have their allocation cut at Easter Road.

However there's no way Hibs will turn away guaranteed income.

If they get the full stand, they are both going to sell out their full allocation. If their numbers are cut, there will need to be a number of empty seats left for segregation. I'm not sure how many that would be but let's say it's around 500.

500 seats that could have been sold at £28 each is £14000. Then you have to question whether our fans would fill the rest of the stand or if there would be even more empty seats.

At the end of the day it will come down to financial reasons. I really doubt that Hibs will refuse several thousand pounds.

Never a truer word spoken. We are not in a position to cut the old firm ticket allocation. Its money for nothing basically.

No we dont. If the Hibs ends are sold out long before the two games, which I imagine they will be; Then we should be allocating hibs fans in the south stand. Should also be done for safety reasons for the Huns game as that'll be a highly charged atmosphere I'd imagine

[southern hibby]

I'd say allocate as many tickets to Hibs fans as possible for the old firm games. To me this is a long term investment. We could potentially get more fans who go to the south buying season tickets, strips etc that would boost our ticket sales in the long run.

I'm with you.

Let them have either the the top or bottom. If it's the top then not the seats above the advertising boards. Can't trust them spittting at hibs fans below (plus the police would ignore it). The Rangers fans should also be kept in the stadium 20 mins after full time. We get the same treatment.

... And not allowed to go to the toilets either, as happens to us at Hunbrox.

Why would you want 4000 Rangers fans rampaging up the road when we are in pubs and at bus stops?

I'm not convinced that we'll need seats in the South for matches televised live against the uglies.

I'm definitely not convinced we would need the three home stands plus 1,500 seats in the South.

Sell any less than that and it doesn't make financial sense to cut their allocation.

Fill in a corner and give them that

So is this St Johnstone Dot Count thread a Dot Count thread or not?

Anyone got the scores on the doors at this stage?
