Well done Hibs.

Hearts actually broke lots more seats at ER last game than Hibs did at Tynie last game.

Both sets of fans maybe need to learn the hard way?

It's a brilliant statement which clearly mentions sectarianism.

It skirts around the main issue IMHO. Sectarianism is bundled in alongside other examples of unacceptable fan behaviour when the statement is clearly on the back of mass sectarian singing by thousands of Rangers supporters last night.

Alongside cutting allocations, I’d love for the club to push for a response from the SFA. I’d assume we’ve raised this behind closed doors but we shouldn’t be allowing them to sweep it under the carpet again as they have done for decades.

Well done Hibs. Great statement that not only condemns the OF, cos we all know that's who we mean, but calls out the fannies in our support. Great stuff and good to be the club taking a lead again.

Bill Foley making room for more Hibs fans after our summer spending spree

**** that. 400 tickets. Or even better, absolutely none and take none for their place.

Agreed. I wasn't advocating giving them half just pointing out the costs. I would give them nowt.

Does anyone know how much money we make from full
Celtic/Rangers ends at ER?

[Dmas]

Well done hibs! We really need to cut it out in our end now, throwing objects and songs about people being dead should be cut, lowering ourselves to that level

This can only help us with referring decisions as well going against us at home.

Refs won’t be as quick to pander to an empty away stand.

About £100k per visit, minus costs.

Well done Hibs.

Let's see if other clubs take up the challenge laid down. We know the authorities won't.

[lyonhibs]

Brilliant stuff. Fewer old firm fans, what we've all been after for a while. Will the seats be filled with Hibs fans remains the big question, the club have done their bit

Police Match Commander and Hibs Safety Manager decision - very annoying but there’s justified reasons for doing so from an overall safety perspective and use of specific resources.

Would be much more trouble if we held them back imo

With reduced away allocations for certain clubs, I'd expect a reduction in costs for Stewarding and Policing. Less money in, yes, but also less money out.

Naming other clubs just opens us up to criticism. A good statement which was very self aware whilst clearly pointing a finger at The Rangers.

Yes a very clever statement. Posters wanting direct criticism of Rangers don’t get it. For a start -what about Celtic? By not naming names we’ve made it difficult for the old firm. How do they respond?If they jump in with both feet it makes it even more obvious who it’s aimed at. Also made it difficult for the media.Interesting to see if any have the guts to tackle it.Clever as well to criticise our own supporters as the first line for the media would have been how dare they do this when their own fans are toerags.

[Dr What If?]

Lets not stop there. We should already have the names and addresses of anyone who buys tickets for their end, we should have cameras focused on them for 90 mins and when the song book gets opened next time we hand the footage and their details to the police. Should be a lot easier to do with fewer of them there.
A club that takes a proper stand against sectarianism is a club I can be proud of.

Huns away at Dundee on Sunday at 12.

I'd expect them to be worse than normal so let's see if Dundee get on board.

Spot on. It's as clever a statement as we could have put out.

Tellingly its 99% Huns on Twitter reacting angrily to the statement.

I have a feeling their response will be to ignore it until we actually see through on the allocation cut.

Approx £140000 which equates to less than 1% of turnover.

[Hibernia&Alba]

It’s a good statement, backed up by action, such as reducing away tickets where required. It’s long overdue, but it’s good to see.

I think Dundee had a go at them last time when they practically set Dens Park on fire, pretty sure they’ll call them out if they’re as bad as they were yesterday (and they will be)

[Not In The Know]

There’s a good chance we would have had a couple thousand more hibs fans there last night if we had already cut their allocation.

[Chorley Hibee]

There goes any chance of the top six or Europe.

Another catalogue of 'honest mistakes' incoming.

Re. media, it's on stv news and sky sports. Nothing yet on bbc, amazingly enough.

Only if those who claim they don’t attend these fixtures due to the away fans continue to stay away.

Have to disagree. It's not football without two sets of supporters.

In general I’d agree but when it comes to the old firm, **** them.

Can it get any worse than it has been over the last month or so?

This seems to have annoyed all of the right people, well done Hibs.
