[Nakedmanoncrack]

Seems sensible- Wheatfield probably sufficient- more if need be.

[Thecat23]

Happy enough with that.

[hibby6270]

Although it doesn't say it, does this mean Bonnyrigg have the whole of the Gorgie Road stand?
Also sounds like the "currently under refurbishment" wooden shed death trap of a main stand isn't being used?

If you look on Sickbag, a lot of Jambos claiming they are up for buying tickets for the game. How will Bonnyrigg stop this - if indeed they can?

[wookie70]

Not too bad for price. Glad we have a chance of a few more tickets if we sell out our allocation. Nice little earner for both clubs and hopefully a big win for the holders

[hibbysam]

Both correct. There way of ensuring that we do not get the biggest attendance there this season. Hope the 'home' stands are empty, Bonnyrigg thinking they can sell 7000 tickets is highly amusing.

Looks like the old stand isn't open

[Keith_M]

Considering the death-trap stand isn't being closed down until the end of the season, I find it strange it's being closed just for this match.

[NthCarolinaHibs]

The Saviles are just no wanting us to have the biggest home crowd at the PBS two seasons running...

A truly weird species, still obsessing over Hibernian FC despite having their nuts chemically removed on 21 May 2016. Time for a restraining order.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Considering the death-trap stand isn't being closed down until the end of the season, I find it strange it's being closed just for this match.

The schedule for building works probably didn't take into account having a match on that day, so its probably no more sinister than that ... with Budge now talking about renting ER its sounds like they are already behind schedule, because as far as I was aware the Yams were planning to have the stand replaced without having to play away from the PBS.

Thanks for confirming.
No doubt There'll be a few Jambos swelling the home crowd though. Just have a feeling.

Their manager actually encouraged hearts fans to buy tickets so I'm not sure they want to stop it.

There will probably be a fair number of the smellies at the game. They need professional help.

[S4uzee]

£20 a bit steep

[B.H.F.C]

Of course they don't. They're quite well supported by junior standards but if they just had people there who only supported Bonnyrigg they wouldn't have much of a crowd. It's their big pay day so they will want as many people in that ground as they can get regardless of who their 'big' team is.

[Hibernia&Alba]

£20 a bit steep

I think it's okay, but perhaps £15 would be more like it.

[H18 SFR]

£20 to watch a junior team - shocking.

[Bristolhibby]

Thanks for confirming.

And swelling our pockets at the same time. Cheers ya fuds!

Why should Bonnyrigg stop it?

£20 for Hibs fans against a junior team is poor show. Greedy and way overpriced.

[KeithTheHibby]

I hope the ground is full of the muppets. We get half the money. That will be lost on most of the plebs so more the merrier.

Are they not playing Raith the same day?

Sunday. Moved for tele.

[Canon Hannan]

I have no affinity to Bonnyrigg Rose and in a way feel they may lose out on a sellout now. Plenty won't pay £20 to go there and play against a small club. It's their own doing in my view. Make it £10 and £5. I would rather pay £20 and watch Utd at home in a big game for us. Let Bonnyrigg sell their 3000 and we will take maybe 5000 now.

I reckon Bonnyrigg will sell much more than 3,000 as their is certainly going to be a fair load of yams purchasing tickets for their sections.

[northstandhibby]

Hope I see some Yams in the Bonnyrigg end. Be giving them the two finger salute both hands for the best 2-2 comeback ever.

The Bonnyrigg websites selling Bonnyrigg v Hibernian t-shirts and talking about selling half and half scarves possibly. Certainly cashing in on the tie and why not.

Strange creatures the Yams, they are totally obsessed with us.

[Broken Gnome]

Ach, we could nitpick over a fiver here or there any other year. It's Hibs. As Scottish Cup holders. It's worth it.

£20/10 is alright for a cup tie that we should win.

I have to disagree. If it had been at ER and Hibs announced these prices the club would be getting slated for it. Folk would most likely be calling for £10/£5 .
I for one won't be paying £40 for me and my teenage daughter to experience junior fitba at that ramshackle piggery.

[Mikey09]

sorry... £20 for a 4th round tie against a Junior club and that's acceptable?! Folk were moaning on here at Hibs charging £22 for a walk up?

[Brooster]

Own goal by BR as far as the pricing goes. These prices will have an impact on the crowd.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

What were people expecting? The fact they took it there said that it was all about maximum exploitation of revenue - they were hardly likely to offer cut price tickets were they.

[Simkin911]

I'll be in the Bonnyrigg end wearing my hibs scarf. My son (6) will be wearing his Bonnyrigg training kit with his Hibs scarf. I think there will be a number of folk in the same situation. The Bonnyrigg coaches are co-ordinating ticket purchases for the academy kids.

Hearts fans will need to just suck it up.

[B.H.F.C]

In a cup tie the two sides need to agree it.

[Speedy]

It's absolutely not though. I think it's priced fairly.

It's the classic football pricing debate. Half the price doesn't mean double the crowd.

1st round of the the Scottish Cup for the top teams, Junior team at home.....its over priced. Me and my boys will be there but its over priced. BR (in my opinion) are being greedy.

[Glory Lurker]

I'll pay that to see us starting our defence. We are the champions.

[monktonharp]

I sincerely hope this will never happen. only a personal view, but if it does, they can keep my season ticket next season

Happy to stand corrected but positive the teams need to agree prices in a cup tie. Pretty sure the £20 price isn't entirely down to Bonnyrigg.

I could be completely wrong, but I'd be wary of the police allowing you in to one end, wearing the other teams colours.
All good natured fun - until the goals start flying in!! [emoji848]

In my opinion it is disrespectful to bonnyrigg, really. Imagine the general opinion if it was Rangers or Celtic the rose had drawn and people part of the bonnyrigg community club set up turned up in the Bonnyrigg end wearing rangers and Celtic scarves.

That idea was bonkers from the start.

They were suggesting that they would first construct facilities under the Wheatfield (Phase 0), then build the rear half of the new stand behind the deathtrap. Thn they would move the supporters from the old stand to the upper tier of the new stand (Phase 1). So far so good. That is apart from how the hell the supporters would get into the Asbestos Palace?

The implausible bit comes next in Phase 2. The old stand would somehow be demolished despite being virtually surrounded by the new and existing stands and the front half of the new stand constructed.while continuing to play on! It is a project management problem not to mention a health and safety nightmare.

Some of the problems could be resolved if Hearts throw enough money at it but I remain unconvinced that the existing stand can be demolished with the upper tier of the new built smack up behind it. To even think about doing this during the season is optimistic to say the least. It is unlikely that Phase 2 could be completed during the two month close season in Scotland.

Hearts can't simply close the old stand and play on , certainly not the season because they have sold more season cards than the other three stands could accommodate.

Hence the need to relocate. Certainly for the European Qualifiers, if Hearts get that far, with Murrayfield already lined up. Probably for a League Season as well hence the mumblings about Easter Road.

I get what you're saying but look at it from the Rose's point of view. This is a once in a generation chance to give their club a huge cash boost that will set them up for the foreseeable. We also get some of the cash too remember.

Just buy her a concession ticket. I doubt anyone at the turnstile will care. :angelic:

[Jonnyboy]

Happy to stand corrected but positive the teams need to agree prices in a cup tie. Pretty sure the £20 price isn't entirely down to Bonnyrigg.

I understand Hibs wanted £15 and £5 but the Rose insisted on £20 as they looked to maximise their share of the gate income. As 'home' team they had the right to insist and Hibs had little option but to agree.

I know it's expensive but I'll be there regardless and hoping we get Raith in the next round 😉

20 seems steep but should still be a decent crowd.

£20 is nothing these days,good value to watch Hibs in my opinion.

Most folk would regard that as the sensible price option. It would have put a few extra thousand on the gate. I appreciate a fiver does not seem a lot but to many it's the straw that breaks the camels back so to speak. It's Bonnyrigg Rose for goodness sake.

I will still be going but 15 and 5 was a 'fair' price, more than that and people start thinking maybe I'll stay in the pub instead.

Still be a decent crowd though not as many as it could have been.

[Canon Hannan]

I don't know any of my Hibs pals who will be paying £20 and to go there too! £10 and £5 max. They are at it!

[Hermit Crab]

Agree, its a joke that its £20 considering Bonnyrigg charge £12 and £6 normally yet they said they didn't move the game to make money. My arse!!!!

[PatHead]

Think 5for children would have been enough especially before first payday after Christmas for many parents.

[Dashing Bob S]

Should be more. We get our football way too cheap. Twenty pounds to see the Scottish Cup Champions defend their trophy -admittedly against/at a lower level of opposition/stadia than we are used to- is a bargain. If it prevents moaning jakeys, (their breaths stinking of cheap alcohol and their displaced whines and groans deflecting from the domestic hell they've made of their worthless lives) from attending this game, then I say: hike 'em up some more!

Sorry, but its £6 and £3 for their league matches! So even more of a hike than you thought!
However Hearts charge for ground rental and policing will cost a fair wedge, and Hibs dont pay any of that, so maybe they had to hike prices to cover that as well to ensure a decent pay day.

[GreenCastle]

The Bonnyrigg fans should be more annoyed than the Hibs fans with these prices as it's a massive rise compared to what they are used to paying !

How is the ticket money split for these games ?

Well said, Robert. It's also prudent of the club to have the pre-match hospitality at Easter Road. Things such as disconnected water, knackered boilers and portable calor gas heaters isn't my idea of hospitable.

I'm glad the club have seen this as a priority.

Glory Glory

This "I'll stay in the pub but would have gone were it £X" line always cracks me up.

Beyond any reasonable doubt they'll spend more in there than this extra price difference that's considered the "straw that broke camel's back" and most probably will spend more in the pub than the overall ticket price "X", in this case £20. So it's a void argument from a "saving money" POV

Different if folk stay in the house or whatever obviously, but if a £5 price difference results in you going the pub instead of a Hibs game you can logistically and time-wise easily get to, you weren't too fussed about attending the game and supporting Hibs in person in the first place IMO.

[lucky]

It's a farce a junior club charging £20. But that's the cost. Up to fans to decide if they want to go or not. I doubt the crowd will be more than 8000

[Speedy]

Thats even worse. They are exploiting their own fans as well as us.

Exploiting their own fans, you must be joking? It's most likely the biggest game in their history.

That's quite a hike in price.

Remember Hearts will be getting a share of this gate for rental. Maybe Bonnyrigg adding on a fiver for safety
