Post split fixtures

[Ozyhibby]

Is there a formula for working out who plays who home or away?
Not sure why we should be expected to go to Ibrox again.

We are expected to go there again, apparently there is an imbalance in the fixtures.... we get the short straw. The split is a load of pish, get rid of it!

It's an outrage, really.

Hibs lose out on the income from a 20000 crowd.

That should not be allowed to happen.

I was speaking to George Craig recently and it's £100,000 we'll miss out on. That's a good player for a season.

Point taken but should it not be the Rangers that are upset at having to play us at Ibrox again????

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Time to look at halfing the gate receipts for post split matches. Either that or the away team keeps he away support money.

Exactly.

[Ozyhibby]

As far as I can see the big battle is between ourselves, Sevco and Aberdeen for 2nd so these three teams should have balanced fixtures. Celtic, Killie and Hearts should be the ones who are inconvenienced.

Celtic Killie & Motherwell😉

I don't really have a problem with it.

We all know before a ball is kicked that certain anomalies may arise that appear unfair.

As a newly-promoted side, we were always more likely to be hard done by by the system this season.

We just need to get on with whatever is produced and make the most of it.

Next season we're more likely to benefit from any little foibles, and we need to make sure that whenever any advantage is presented to us (such as when we played Hamilton in the play-offs) that we take advantage and capitalise on it.

I'm amazed how much energy is expended in this country on getting worked up about the split, the league structure, and how many teams we have in our top league.

One of the principles of our league is that we get the income 19 home games.

That's over 5% of our budgeted receipts lost, around £300k.

It's a big deal.

[Billy Whizz]

Think someone on here posted a week or so back, the games due at home and away, post split, that the current top 6, plus Motherwell and St Johnstone, should be due
I know we are due 3 home and 2 away. Hope we get this

[Hibee Mac]

I might be getting confused a little here, but my understanding of it is that we will still get our 19 home games, however, we won't get 2 home games against rangers. Is that wrong?

If so what a joke, every fan in the league who buys a season ticket expects 19 home games plain and simple.

The biggest problem is 4 out of the 6 teams will only have played 16 home games (17 away) at the split, so there will be an imbalance come the end of the season. If we only get 18 homes games surely we can’t be punished twice by losing out on a Rangers game at Easter Road or vice versa

The problem is Rangers have played Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs and Killie all at home twice already. So someone has to move. It will be us as we are the lost ranked team from last year

[007 Mickey Weir]

Hibs will be Aberdeen, Killie and Celtic at home. Rangers and Hearts away.

We are due to play Aberdeen away.

[Aldo]

We should be

Huns at Home
Celtic at Home
Yams away
Dons away
St Johnstone home


If it was to be fair that would give us 2 at home and 2 away against them all and it would be even across the board

Not difficult but it will probably be

Huns away
Yams away
Celtic at home
Dons away
St Johnstone home

Or Celtic yams and Huns away at the very least

Killie must be raging!

[Diclonius]

If we (or someone else) get 18 home fixtures due to the fixture organisers' shortsightedness in giving Rangers two home games against Celtic AND Aberdeen AND Hearts AND Hibs, more people will be raging than just the fans.

It is an absolute joke. You would bet on at least half of the top six being three of four of those clubs. What were they playing at?

Exactly. The organisers know exactly what they were doing there, ensuring The Rangers get extra footballing and financial benefit against their main rivals post-split. There is no logical reason for them doing what they did.

Try Killie instead of St Johnstone 😉

Indeed!

[Hibee Mac]

What's worse about this is that it might be us and Rangers fighting it out for second/third and us v them could be the big deciding tie in all of that.

They're seriously considering "fixing" the fixtures so that one of us gets an extra home tie against the other?

Why not punish 6th place who are guaranteed by the split not to be above 5th anyway?...

[MKHIBEE]

All this talk of yams in the top 6 is surely a bit premature?

They'll almost definitely be in the top 6.

Motherwell have to play Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen in three of their four games. As they're four points behind Hearts they'd have to win at least one of them.
