    Has any decision been made on giving Celtic the whole south stand yet?

    Same block on sale now for rangers as well so probably a hibs decision (I think)

    Strange decision by the club to open the south to our fans for both games, we are potentially turning down around £125k in income which could be used in the January transfer window

    I agree with this, we will need every penny for January. Also I worry about security especially the rangers game. Also the cost of extra steward and police etc

    I don't get why they waited so long. If we were waiting to see if a good run of form would generate increased demand ... um, not so much.

    So whoever has made this decision has in effect cost us a couple of hundred grand.. unbelievable

    The club can never win. For the last few years we have said we should cut allocatios,do season tickets in the South etc. The club do it and you get supporters moaning.

    Why not encourage more Hibs
    supporters to come along?

    That's only true if we sell zero tickets for the Hibs section of the stand and none of the tickets we would otherwise have sold were concessions.

    In which case the 'lost' income would be around 2000 x £25 (net of VAT) = £50,000 per match.

    As far as I'm concerned if it suits the club and prioritises Hibs fans over the OF I'm all for it.

    Yet last season there were several folk moaning and wanting us to cut both OF teams allocations. Hibs do that this season and we’ve now got folk moaning about it!

    This. Try and encourage fellow hibs fans to go to the games or even one of them. The more hibs fans there = better atmosphere and better chance of winning

    I think it’s been pretty obvious for a while now that the south stand would not be required.. idiotic decision by whoever made it.. we need every penny we can get our hands on for the January transfer Window..

    Agreed. Was a bad call at the time - done for the right reasons, but was clear it wouldn’t sell out. We should offer them to Celtic

    Don't see the difference between this and a normal run of the mill league game. The away end of the ground will be half full top and bottom tier is the only difference and there will be a hibs support in the lower half of the same stand like there has been for all league games apart from 1 this season. The less bigoted ****bags in our stadium the better imo

    Not sure it would be that much. 1500 tix at 28 quid each...circa 42k. Plus perhaps 10k max food etc

    An up and coming players salary worth ...

    I don't think it's unreasonable that fans wanted to maximise Hibs fans present when the demand was there but now that it isn't likely would rather maximise revenue - I don't think that's putting Hibs in a no win situation.

    Of course the ideal scenario is Hibs sell out, including half the south, and the losses are minimal; hopefully that's what happens with both games. I don't think anyone would disagree with that.
    Mon the Hibs.

    Football is about a lot more than money. The difference in the noise that the away fans can create with only half the stand is quite big. Couple that with there being hibs fans on all sides of the ground and it's well worth it

    vs run of mill league game ...

    - It's on the telly
    - it's a crap ko time
    - almost everyone expects us to lose convincingly
    - it costs £7 more

    I'm all for Hibs selling more tickets to Hibbies but I think they needed to decide this weeks ago and do a lot of marketing ...

    I’d cut Rangers allocation but give Celtic the full stand.

    Oh my god. We moan when we don't cut their allocation and we moan when we do.

    The South can sit half empty for all I care, I want 0 Old Firm supporters at Easter Road.

    I got the impression from their statement last season that Sevco weren't going to take the full allocation anyway.

    I think it was the "this particular club" statement when we cut their allocation for the 5-5 game? IIRC they said something along the lines of having helped us financially in the past by filling the stadium and would not be doing so in the future. Can't remember the exact wording and CBA looking for it but I think that was the gist of their statement.

    Did their statement mention anything about the bigots singing disgusting songs about Lennon and Stubbs?

    Apart from the fact we make £0 from food sales, and we will not sell 0 tickets in the south stand. Fairly sure we won’t be cash strapped in January 😂
