What about the points. :greengrin

[Keith_M]

It's a bit unusual that Hibs aren't selling the tickets.

Only time I've heard that before was when the two clubs in question were in dispute, like when Rangers wanted Hibs to pay them to distribute tickets or when Hibs didn't trust Hearts with the money.

Think the decision was probably made as we have a lot of matches coming up. Maybe easier for all if it's pay at the gate, providing they have plenty of staff on to deal with it

What's the capacity of the away stand?

[Billy Whizz]

What's the capacity of the away stand?

Over 3,300. I presume we could also get part of the railway stand as well it we were to sell out, which I think willbe unlikely

[Sir David Gray]

It won't be a problem for the "normal" fan as supply will far outstrip demand meaning that people can turn up at 2pm on the day of the game and they'll be almost guaranteed to get in.

However as a wheelchair user, I'm not comfortable with this arrangement at all.

Have Raith Rovers done this for any other home match this season?

If you look at their gates this season Trig, they don't pass 2,000.

Our two games there last season the crowds were 3166 and 3183........not ideal for you I know

Can you not call them to prebook, and pick up on the day?

I presume it will be free seating on the day as well?

[Sir David Gray]

There is a number on the Hibs website article which I'll try. Just don't see why the tried and trusted methods need to be changed.

Not so sure about the free seating, given this comment:

"As there is expected to be a large attendance on the day, supporters – especially those seeking concessionary admission – are advised to arrive early in order to reduce queues, enable groups to sit together and ensure access before kick-off!"

[Sir David Gray]

The other (albeit minor) point I would also make is that I will end up paying more by paying in advance, due to the £2 admin fee by paying by card which I would need to do if I pay in advance.

For any adults looking to go, they'll be the same price no matter when they get their tickets, unless they're able to collect them directly from Stark's Park throughout next week, which certainly isn't an option for me.

Really just tempted to chance it and turn up on the day and pay on arrival.

It definitely sounds like there's been some sort of dispute between the two clubs for this to have happened, as someone said earlier, the only time i can remember this in the past was when Hibs sold tickets directly to Rangers and Celtic fans a few years ago. I really hope whatever has happened is resolved by the time we play them the next time.

Raith acknowledge there will be a large attendance, but don't give Hibs pre-sale tickets, sounds a bit silly to me, but that is what happens when dealing with small clubs.......

As I go with my dad and a little lad, they will have to go to a different pod from me for concessions, If they don't arrange unreserved seating, we won't be sitting together

Can anyone confirm that the forth bridge will be open during the day on Saturday?

[silverhibee]

Can anyone confirm that the forth bridge will be open during the day on Saturday?

It will be open during the day, but still expect long delays through the day at the weekend as they prepare to get things ready to close the bridge down at 8 o'clock at night time.

[Albanian Hibs]

It was down to one lane as I headed to Kirkcaldy last Saturday, at about 530 pm. A friend had similar problems going to Kirkcaldy at about 4pm on Sunday past.

[Moulin Yarns]

Thanks. Will get the train instead.

Does anybody know which is the away end? If it is the north it is about 15 minutes to the station after the game, if it is the south end then it will take longer getting through the 'crowd'

Looks like it is the north stand. Also, the Railway side is now closed and falling into disrepair, apparently.

Took me a hour to get from Barnton to the turn off just before the bridge at about 11.30 on Saturday morning, it will be a nightmare this weekend.

All excited now.

[silverhibee]

Can now see a big crowd going over to Fife on Saturday, so no matter what, if it's road works or bad weather, expecting strong winds so the bridge may be down to 40mph, make sure you leave that bit earlier to enter the Kingdom of Fife, seems to always pish down with rain when we play Raith Rovers, but please folks, no umbrellas. :greengrin

Oooo Eskbank. Posh one you!

Be interesting to see how many Hibs fans go with it being PATG.

Was a fantastic turnout last night though a bit quiet.

1800 Hibs fans last night which could have been more if there had been a PATG option, which i hope that we can take a lot more through than 1800 on Saturday for a 3 o'clock KO to cheer the team on to another win where folk can just PATG to get in, 2500 fans possibly.

I believe that the club have measures in place and the Railway end stand (west) will be an option on the day should we'll fill the other stand.

I have also been told that at the very least 5 turn styles will be open.

I would suggest that you get there early to avoid disappointment.

Last Saturday I travelled through early from Kirkcaldy to Easter Road. The queue northbound approaching the bridge must have been 4 miles long.
They are using the upcoming road closure south of the bridge to do roadworks on the bridge itself.
It could be even worse this Saturday. I would certainly give yourselves an extra hour or maybe more to get there, or go via Kincardine, or take the train.

A quick calculation on Google maps, it will take over 90 minutes to go over the kincardine bridge. Is it worth it?

[SteveHFC]

Everyone is more than welcome to join the #eskbanktrain****ers on saturday if they don't want to drive over.

[mim]

It's an extra half hour in normal times. It could easily be half an hour quicker with the road works.

naw stuck between the 2 stations, nitten is slightly nearer but mates stay nearer eskbank (dalkeith)

Felt exactly the same, it was a strange atmosphere

[Wilson]

Felt exactly the same, it was a strange atmosphere

Nervous atmosphere in the away end? Seemed to be a burst of enthusiasm between the goal and half time. A second hibs goal would have finished the game but it didn't come. I think everyone was just relieved a full time.

Tough ask. Job done.

Aldo, don't think that the turnstiles will be the issue, more like the queues at the pods to buy your ticket, I'm presuming this is how it will work?

[silverhibee]

Think you will just pay at the turnstile Billy and get entrance, don't think there will be any pods to buy tickets first, Raith will just want cash at the turnstile, Raith don't even do comps for away teams, so even players family/friends have to pay the going rate. Strange club.

5 turnstiles for maybe 2500 fans where most of them will turn up between 2.40 - 3 o'clock as they come out the pubs and head to the ground, could be chaos if you don't get there early.

Dunfermline springs to mind.

Think you're right, thanks. Looks like it's just concessions that need to go to a Pod

[Ozyhibby]

I just got my tickets on the phone but they won't post them out so I have to Q at the pod to pick them up anyway. Strange set up.

I phoned last night expecting to be told we needed to pick them up at the pod as I was ordering some concessions and they want proof, but he offered to post mine out. Obviously feel posting this evening isnt guaranteeing enough time to get them to you.

Its unallocated seating tho, so worth arriving early to get seated together if in groups.

Surely theyll have a seperate queue at the pods for people just picking tickets up rather than buying.

Billy as Silver has mentioned I believe that it's PATG with concessions going to pod. That was of 3pm today! RR need the money

[lucky]

Was told that RR are expecting around 3000 fans and that railway stand will ready open if necessary to accommodate Hibs support. They can take 3800 so there should plenty of tickets for us. I'm a bit surprised that the games not all ticket.

the thing is..if it was all ticket - there would only be max 2500 of us...so think they are making a god choice - it simply needs people not to all rock up at 2.55

[Glory Lurker]

I love the fact that Parisians are now only two train changes away from Nitten.

I'll be pleased to get in my seat on Saturday. Between the travel problems and the likelihood of queues at the gates, it's going to be an achievement.

[SteveHFC]

Quite weird seeing so many people living in the Nitten/Eskbank are on here. :greengrin

[percy veer]

cracking deal for the adult and child £21 or £23 well done Raith

[IWasThere2016]

As I go with my dad and a little lad, they will have to go to a different pod from me for concessions, If they don't arrange unreserved seating, we won't be sitting together

I think your Dad might. You can buy Parent & Child and be together can you not? I'm planning this for me and my 15 year old.

(PS - Not read the full thread :greengrin)

The worst experience, every time :agree:

[Ringothedog]

Three tickets arrived by post today £18 quid a ticket plus £3 for admin and posting. Means I can stay in the boozer longer on Saturday.

Not half, Adult(Hibs) and concession, can only guess it says concession because of being bought in advance. As long as it gets me in I don't care.

I just bought tickets over the phone, during the call I heard some woman telling someone "am no carin, you're getting bugger all" I don't know who she was talking to.

Any walk-up concessions have to purchase their ticket from a pod at the away end, but apparently it is unreserved seating so shouldn't be a problem.

Not so sure about the free seating, given this comment:

"As there is expected to be a large attendance on the day, supporters – especially those seeking concessionary admission – are advised to arrive early in order to reduce queues, enable groups to sit together and ensure access before kick-off!"

I spoke to TO yesterday and it is indeed free seating, I think they mean it will be busy so to make sure you get seats together get there early

Edited to add no seat numbers allocated on the tickets.
