I care about the bigger picture and other clubs and the media following this excellent stance by Hibs - enough is enough but we need the combined support of other clubs to galvanise a movement to eradicate this filth from not only football but in society. I absolutely support the Club here, but I’ll wager it’ll be tomorrow’s chip paper because our biased media won’t entertain the idea that there’s a problem. For once, every single weekend, I want a pundit calling it out - they won’t as they’re scared of them. Steve Clarke called it out, never heard anything after it - says it all.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Both the Uglies social media sites have been quite open about the number of their fans who travel without a ticket and ‘rush’ the turnstiles at Easter Road to gain entry.
No doubt that is going to increase substantially unless the polis police it better than they currently do.

Overall a really professional statement and delighted the club is taking action - I'll admit I didn't think it was going to happen.
We've acknowledged the issues with our own support and not got into a mud slinging match by naming clubs directly.
Despite my frustration with the result on Sunday, I'm really pleased with the direction the club is heading in.

This is a bad move by the club.
All it does is make the game much less of a spectacle.
It could mean less T.V money
Less fans in the stadium equals less revenue
Football is nothing without fans.
The game is dying a death already because of all the new changes and VAR.
We already have enough empty seats. Ridiculous decision!

Empty seats all over the shop and w’re taking the moral high ground when our own supporters behaved like animals recently at Tynecastle.
There must be a better way to tackle this.

Can’t fault the board here, finally grown a pair. For years we’ve been **** scared to upset the huns. Those days are gone.

My opinion..a good move and fully supportive of the statement.

Good statement. I'm happy to pay extra if it helps Hibs afford to keep out the majority of Celtic and Rangers fans. Stick them in the upper tier and be done with it.

Sick to the back teeth of decades of racist sectarian abuse, singing songs of hatred and displaying antisocial and unsporting behaviour
Even worse at Ibrox with no protection from Police Glasgow and danger to life thrown in
Remember their treatment of Boyle’s injury and our tribute to our late Chairman
Restrict the Uglies to the bare minimum and watch them try to squeeze 4000 into 500 seats
Good times are just around the corner
Better quality is incoming and Hibs will mount more of a challenge
The fans will return families will return and the TV Companies will be queuing up
Let’s fill the Stadium with Hibbies and cheer the boys on
Good to see the club finally making a stand long overdue imhoLast edited by BILLYHIBS; 12-03-2024 at 10:17 AM.

The chat from the AGM mentioned that this was on the cards. They took no notice and continue the bile and disgraceful singing at the next opportunity. They need to look at themselves before playing the victim card.

The irony of a statement as many Huns and Tic fans are glory hunters and don’t even support their local community team.
Hun fans raging as even though they aren’t named they know they are guilty and less of them will be there at the next game.
Then what happens next..disrespect Hibs and allocation cut again until full stadium ban which wouldn’t bother me one bit.

Just remember, Scottish football flourished when the the the huns were banished! It has gotten much worse since they returned. Nice one Hibs

Sectarianism is a blight on our society and is socially accepted by the Scottish Government, Police Scotland and the majority of Scottish media outlets. Never mentioned by anyone until the tabloid rags trolled .net and printed it. Why not print it along with the match report. No so there lies the issue.
You comments confirm that you are happy with their bile song book and behaviour every time they come to ER. I think you might be the only one I am aware of that’s happy to sit and listen to it. Tbh I would have cut their allocation after their disgusting Ron Gordon behaviour but Heay it’s done now.
Who cares about a couple of quid I’d rather we didn’t have to listen to that pish!

Great news. Remember Rangers are actually the ones who started all of this by cutting Celtics allocation because they kept getting beat at ibrox. At least we’ve cut it for non sporting reasons

Maybe the occasional mention of a piece of fruit?? To be fair that fruity organisation is wholly rooted in sectarianism and perhaps should be called out but none of that has any place in an entertainment sport arena.
What I have always found is that the general behaviour of Celtic, in and around the stadium, is worse than that of the the rangers fans. In the meantime the hate filled focus of rangers fans on their religiously based suprematism is their offence
The dilemma is that nobody is prepared to single out one side of the two cheeks for fear of offending the other. It would have been interesting if Hibs had called out the rangers side more strongly than the other cheek and sanction accordingly.
Interesting times ahead, I feel, because one side will amend their behaviour more quickly than the other. When that happens we should reward whichever that side is with more generous seating allocation. That, in turn, will be interpreted as taking sides. We have avoided that for the present but it remains on the horizon.Last edited by CentreLine; 12-03-2024 at 06:37 AM.

Well done to Hibs for having the courage to do something that the SFA, other clubs, media, politicians and police are unwilling or too frightened to address.
For those that say Hibs should have been more specific about The Rangers, i think Hibs have played it perfectly, acknowledging our own supporters shortcomings and including sectarianism among a list of other unacceptable behaviour. The timing of the statement on the back of Sundays game leaves no one in any doubt what the catalyst for its issue has been.
I suspect that on the back of the disgusting behaviour directed towards the late Ron Gordons commemoration last season, our owners have been watching and listening to The Rangers fans behaviour and that the equally disgusting chants as Martin Boyle was being stretchered off on Sunday have been the final straw.
It's the strongest condemnation from the club in my nearly 60 years of following Hibs and interesting that it's taken American owners to speak out about a Scottish problemm.

You also seem to be over concerned about how we are perceived in relation to the old firm divide. Im not interested in the old firm divide, or whether we prefer celtic to rangers or if we’re the edinburgh ‘tic or any of that weegie chat. It’s irrelevant to me. If by calling out rangers behaviour that makes them think we are just pandering to celtic, fine. They would probably think that anyway, who cares? This is about us.Last edited by hibsbollah; 12-03-2024 at 06:45 AM.

Fair enough if the stadium gets filled and we don’t miss out on any money.
But I struggle to believe there’s a few thousand that don’t turn up just because the Old Firm sing songs that are offensive.
