We need to sell them 900 tickets max. Get the small band of orcs in the Dunbar End surrounded by Hibbies from all sides. We will sell out 19000+ tickets no problem. Get it done please Leeann this is one special season!

:no way: I wouldn't give them any at all or at a push the same percentage as we were given at Ipox.

This would only work if we could sell the 19,000 to our fans. Christmas will be 2weeks away by then so I expect a full Dunbar end of huns unfortunately.

Exactly, do it by percentage terms.

As has been said on here it's purely down to money. We're not going to turn down the extra revenue of them filling the Dunbar end if we can't.

That said, this is probably the best chance we'll have of doing it with the crowds being so high at the moment. It's really up to us here to get as many bodies through the turnstyles that day. Even if we end up giving them half the away end - that'd be something.

I know retaliation is not usually the best foot forward, but with us only getting 900 tickets for Ibrox (considering the demand this time round.) I'm pretty sure they'll be expecting their usual full south stand allocation when they visit. I'd love to be able to get it up them and give them a much smaller amount.

Agreed - more tickets for home fans.

If fans keep turning up to ER it should take care of itself as the board will have no option unless it's already been pre-agreed ?

Both Old Firm should only have some of the away end - makes such a difference when you limit the great unwashed in the capital and all their baggage.

It doesn't matter if we lose some £, they rodents shouldn't be welcome in numbers at Easter road. From that wee laddie spat on from a hun bus to the final, to yesterday with all the previous they should always get as little as possible.

We look like struggling the week up to it then free tickets to Hibs charity.

Sir David Gray
13-08-2017, 09:11 AM
If we're still playing like we are now then it's a no brainer. We'll be able to sell enough tickets to Hibs fans to justify giving them a few hundred tickets.

Obviously a lot can happen in 4 months though so we'll just have to wait and see.

If the demand is there from our own support though, we absolutely should limit their allocation.

There's no minimum amount.

This is the SPFL ruling on this matter;

The Home club must make provision for the admission of such reasonable number of visiting supporters at every home League Match and Play-Off Match as may be agreed in advance with the Visiting Club and, in the event of their being unable to agree such number not later than 14 days prior to the date of the League Match or Play-Off Match in question, the number of visiting supporters allowed shall be determined by the Board whose decision shall be final and binding.

The whole broomloan stand holds 8012. Thats what celtic get. The OF have an agreement like Hibs and Hearts, Celtic get the whole stand and in return The Rangers get roughly the same allocation at Parkhead. Interestingly all other teams seem to be getting 750 tickets for league matches away at celtic.

If we reduce and sell all our tickets then great. Would be not need to pay for extra policing though as there would need to be extra security as per yesterday? The no mans land would need to be rather large imo.

Someone email LD and get the ball rolling for a reduced allocation for The Rangers and Celtic.

Given the game is at 7.45pm on a wednesday night in the middle of december with category A pricing i can't imagine there being a huge tournout from families and kids who aren't season ticket holders anyway.

In an ideal world you would want as few of them in the stadium as possible but the reality is that giving them the full stand generates around £70k - £80k in income that we would be unlikely to make up any shortfall from with ticket sales to Hibs fans, especially given we would need to leave a good number of the seats completely empty to accomodate sharing the stand.

Having them isolated in thier own stand is safer for Hibs fans, much harder to launch, coins and smuggled buckie bottles across to the east stand than it would be from one side of the south to the other etc. and also makes segregation and keeping them away from us post-match much easier for police.

Give them two sections in both Upper and Lower South Stand, 1,600 tickets. Leave 800 empty between both sets of fans and give the rest (~1,500) to Home Fans.

I'm sure we'll be able to sell 17.5k, especially as we'll be well clear at the top of the league by then :wink:

If Hibs sell tickets well in advance, as we appear to be doing for league matches this season, the time of year might not be such a factor. Get them on sale from the middle of November.

I agree that segregation of the south stand would lead to a reduced capacity by a few hundred and lose us a few quid, but it might be worth doing to make a point. Our ticket allocation for Ibrox is woeful .... to be allocated less than 1000 in a stadium that holds 50,000 is pathetic. We haven't often had the opportunity to show our displeasure at that state of affairs in the last few decades and IMO we should grab the chance when we can.

The Hibs fans at the eastern end of the south can easily be funnelled out round the back of the east after the game and the south can be segregated inside too. The police might not be happy about Hibs and Sevco fans sharing the same stand, but the upside for them would be that rather than having 4,000 knuckle draggers to keep an eye on they would have less than 2,000.

IMO this is something we should actively be looking at.

I'm also pretty sure that we wouldn't fill half a stand without there being walk-ups, which would surely not be allowed.

Anyway, the game will be played on the pitch and the team managed to cope with 40k baying huns so I really don't see what everyone's problem is. Whatever, it will be a great atmosphere.

Wonder if this is one for the Fans reps to get a view from the club on?

Certainly something that would send the right message, not suggesting we should subject the huns to spitting, money being thrown at them and sectarian bile as we are better than that but I do think there's something to be said for giving them the same proportion as they give us and if they don't like it they can always issue a statement.

Prior to this season I would have been firmly in the no camp, but I think, depending on how demand is looking from our end (if we're still doing well), then I'm all for reducing their allocation, in the same way as Hearts. Would be a bit embarrassing if we did this and didn't get close to selling out our South Stand allocation, though, so would need to be announced in advance and well promoted by all.

If the East was still being built, then presumably that was the reason you couldn't exit that way back then.

Looking at Google Maps, it appears it's perfectly plausible for Hibs fans in the South to enter from the East - looks like it's just a case of opening a gate? So they'd just need some segregation at the back of the South, and it looks fairly easy?

At no point are the rangers fans sitting directly above us. You are not allowed to have that in stadiums now. Some SPFL rule.

14-08-2017, 01:29 PM
even if we didn't manage to sell out the other half of the stand (which i think we would regardless) i'd give them minimum amount and they can count themselves lucky they are getting anywhere near Easter Road.


In view of the death threats against Neil Lennon on social media this morning, the club would be entirely justified in not allowing any SEVCO follower anywhere near ER that evening.

Start selling the tickets now to see how many will be bought by the home support.
I agree and wonder if the Club have already considered doing just that.

Non ST holders who are on the Club's data base and a history of buying tickets,though.

I too would like to see "them" getting as few tickets as possible.

There is about three rows of seats in front of the "entrance". At least 4 or 5 of the seats is directly above the Hibs support. I was looking directly up at one of the guys I know in the Rangers end, sitting in his seat, and he was directly above the Hibs support.

I get that, and fully understand why. I just can't see it being a rule when it clearly happens at Ibrox, whether it is 10 fans or 500 fans, it shouldn't happen. Your point was also "At no point are the rangers fans sitting directly above us." This clearly was the case.

I would think the police would strongly oppose this. We are talking about something that the club have made no statement on. Chances are they will get the full end anyway, I want their allocation cut but not to the detriment of our club. Perhaps the fans reps can take this to LD for her to consider.

Future17
14-08-2017, 02:47 PM
I'm all for reducing their allocation although we tried this before then couldn't sell them to our own fans and lost money. I'd do the same to Celtic if they only offer us a measly 750 for Parkhead.

I think it's untrue to say we lost money, albeit we didn't make as much as we could have.

We did though as half the South was held back for Hibs fans and ultimately wasn't needed. Of course demand this time round could and should be higher. Reducing their allocation poses another issue for us, mainly them getting tickets in our end including hospitality. There was fights the last time they were in there.

Since90+2
14-08-2017, 03:00 PM
I am pretty confident the club will cut their allocation as the demand seems to be there at the moment and will only increase if we are sitting 2nd or 3rd around the time of the game.

Lets say we have just shy of 13,000 season ticket holders which would mean around 6k tickets for walk up fans. That is 100% achievable.

That doesn't mean we lost money though. Even with increased stewarding, the larger ticket price probably makes the break even figure around 10,000 for such a game.

They would have to be on our database to buy a ticket in our stands. Sure they may have Hibs friends who might get them the odd ticket but surely we arent talking significant numbers. I think thats undue concern myself and a situation that should be manageable. Cut their allocation to half the South for me.

Agreed - the large amounts of them who infiltrated our end last time was mostly down to the fact that they could win the league that game. I very much doubt we'd get the same volume of them taking that risk for a midweek night game in December - especially now that we pish all over them :aok:

I'm starting to think this way too.

We've had indirect statements from board members asking for action, we've also had sectarian abuse, police complaints over nothing and death threats. Oh, and a pitch invasion after they scored.

The truth is that I don't want any of the filth near our stadium but we've grounds to ban them on safety reasons alone. It's only a matter of time before one of them does what that fat Drylaw hearts ******* did.

Trivia Corner: The theme from Z-Cars reached number 8 in the charts in 1962, recorded by the Johnny Keating Orchestra. Keating was born in Edinburgh and was a lifelong Hibby. He arranged the music for Turnbull's Tornadoes and Give Us a Goal in 1973. When Keating died in 2015, he was buried wearing his Hibs tie.

We should minimise the number of them who can sing songs about hanging Neil Lennon and spewing their sectarian hatred. We need firm action on this.

Dont really agree with the views that it wouldn't be done on security grounds. Any trouble that occurs is going to be in and around Easter Road & London Road before/after the game and its far more likely to kick off with 4000 odd huns than with 1700 odd. The chances of there being violence inside or just outside the ground is small IMO.

I've seen this given a number of times as a reason for not splitting the south. We might require a few more stewards/cops to separate fans but given there would be around 2,000 less huns in the area surely that would mean we'd need less cops to police the surrounding area.

I understand the size of the financial impact and sympathise with the club on this but, however, you’re spot on. If ever there was a time to cut down their allocation, it’s now. Much like the sheep game, sporting advantage against a rival for top 3 is much more important than the money lost to segregation. We should never be turning away Hibs fans, especially when it’s to the benefit of “them”.

Or on the flip side, perhaps we can barter with them to get 4000 tickets at Ibrox, if they want a full stand at our place?
