It has to be cut for the top 6 fixtures. The ticket demand is there to justify doing it. We’ve shared a stand with the Huns while the East was getting built so there’s no excuses.

Make it happen Leeann.

It can and should be done. There is a precedent from the Championship remember.

Give the Uglies the same or equivalent number of tickets they give us when we go Glasgow and squeeze them into the far west side of the South and hold them back at the end of the game and see how they like being treated the way they treat us.

If we are still in play for 2nd it has to be done, we'll easily have the demand to make up for it and I'd hate for them to have the full stand for encouragement.

Have to agree on this. The demand is there from Hibs fans. Same with the Celtic game.

With Celtic going for the title cutting their allocation would be a recipe for disaster.

Give Celtic and Rangers the bare minimum. The demand is there from Hibs fans and our fans should be catered for first.

Last game of the season verses the rangers

As a numbers game, they usual give us about 900 tickets as an away allocation

Ibrox holds 51,000 (roughly)

That gives us an allocation of (roughly) 1.76%

So.....

Easter Road holds 20,421.

So 1.76% of 20,421 = 359 (slight round down)

So there we have it! Give those dirty bigots under 360 seats

Any of them found in the home end will be shot on sight!

If we have a chance of clinching 2nd or 3rd against Rangers we should give them as small an allocation as we can. There isn't a debate to be had, if we can sell the tickets to Hibs fans and the Police are agreeable then we split the stand.

I think it was more of a general point, rather than just in reference to these upcoming games.

As it happens, I agree.

We should sell as many tickets to Hibs fans as possible. Rangers and Celtic already give us the bare minimum for Ibrox and Parkhead as it is so there will be no implications for us cutting their allocation at Easter Road.

Hearts should continue to get the full south stand as we have a mutual agreement in place which suits both clubs.

Yup. Give the zombies the same % allocation they give us at Greyskull and that's fair. 3000+ less bigots on match day is too good an opportunity to miss.

It's always good to have someone to blame and criticising the fans reps before the Hibernian Board make any decision on the allocation to Celtic and Rangers is right up there.

I don't personally know either but I am certain that the Chairman and CEO of the club will do the right thing for our Football Club, as they have done in arguing the case for Hibernian to get three home games.


Anyways...
Celtic will get their usual allocation
Killie will get 1500
Rangers will get 1500


Now what else or who else can we criticise from the outside looking in or can we just take a view that everyone is pulling in the same direction and place some trust in the Board to do the right thing?

Celtic should get a reduced allocation as well and we should erect a few pillars directly in front of their supporters like a lot of our supporters experience at Parkhead.

Both should get the bare minimum. I’d give them the two blocks closest to the East so they’re drowned out even more.

There can be no arguments here - Hibs supporters will buy these tickets if possible and if Celtic and Rangers receive near 4000 tickets then the board are simply pandering to the Old Firm.

Pandering to the OF, show me any recent evidence? I can recall Hibs cutting Rangers allocation for then play off in 2015 and we ended up with a half empty south stand.

The club has moved on from there and we know that we’ll easily sell out the Rangers game. Celtic one, unfortunately the wider picture needs to be taken and if, for example, we want to sign Scott Allan then it might be a price worth paying to give Celtic their usual allocation

Killie, I would imagine, will bring through a very decent support for our game against them. I doubt they will sell out the stand though so the South will be split for that game. Therefore, if it can be done for the game against Killie, there is absolutely NO reason why it can't be done against the THE huns.

12-04-2018, 09:35 AM
Don't know if it would be to late to do it but why not try and sell a block of 3 tickets for our home games at a slight discount, that way we would get a near sell out against killie as well

It should happen for all remaining games this season. Leeann said at the age once that if Hibs fans were able to by the tickets then she would happily cut the allocations of away fans. Well, we are there now. I think all three games will sell out and Hibs fans will buy whatever tickets are made available in the south.

If you call a stand of bigots belting out sectarian songs a “better atmosphere” then we have different ideas of what that means
Money won’t be an issue either if we split the stand, and less away fans means a better chance for us to get behind the team and push on for 2nd place.

That's exactly what I'm wondering. Them winning the title and how many of their fans are present for it is no concern of ours. Albeit perhaps a bit late in the day for organising now.

I whole-heartedly agree with the posts about cutting allocations to the same percentage as we get, at the most! It's a no brainer for me.

If it was my choice I’d give them as little as possible. My one concern is that it’s Hibs that choose only to take the 900/1000 when we are through there as I think the tickets are paid for up front and the club won’t want to be left with a load of unsold tickets. Not sure how many more we would take through there for a normal league game

For The Rangers match, I would give them an initial allocation of 1,500. If Hibs supporters snap up the remaining tickets in the East and West, then the South can be opened. This already happens for every match not involving the OF or Hearts. The precise split can be determined by how fast the South Blocks sell out. Just like the Aberdeen match.

If the tickets are slow to sell then the remainder of the South Stand can go to Ibrox. Very unlikely I think.

Pretty important question that I hadn't thought of... and would essentially make the majority of our posts on this thread a bit less relevant.

Having said that - we still have the right to cut their allocation. The fact we can now fill it with more home fans is a good reason. The fact it's them is another.

I'd definitely give them the same number of tickets for that match as we get at Ibrox.

Hibs should also insist they're kept back for 15 minutes after the game (if there's any of them left in the ground at that point).

If I had my way, I'd also ensure regular announcements over the PA to tell them to stop singing their sectarian bile, making sure to metnion who it is doing it... then make an apology over PA to those watching on TV, and to the visiting Media, for the Sectarianism of our 'guests'.

Why would they have done that when they were able to sell the tickets to their own fans?

I’m all for cutting their allocation at ER when we can fill the seats ourselves but we can’t grumble about our allocations through there too much. I’ve stood in half empty away ends at Ibrox and Parkhead plenty of times.

All clubs should look after their own first and I hope Hibs do in these games.

Why would the police not agree? Less Huns around Easter Road before and after the game will be easier to police , the stand can be segregated inside the ground and Hibs fans can come and go via the East.

Celtic and Rangers fans share a stand at Celtic Park for Old Firm derbies so it surely can be done at Easter Road.

Rangers were routinely barely able to muster about 30,000 odd in their first Championship season and yet we were only given the 900 each time. Even Hearts got a couple of thousand.

I think it will be more difficult to cut celtics allocation as there’s far less time to sell the tickets to home fans. The club wouldn’t want to be left with a lot of empty seats in the south stand. The rangers game will be easier as we will have more time and we’ll know if we’ve got a chance of second or third.

Last game of the season verses the rangers

As a numbers game, they usual give us about 900 tickets as an away allocation

Ibrox holds 51,000 (roughly)

That gives us an allocation of (roughly) 1.76%

So.....

Easter Road holds 20,421.

So 1.76% of 20,421 = 359 (slight round down)

So there we have it! Give those dirty bigots under 360 seats

Any of them found in the home end will be shot on sight!

Treating them like they treat us seems fair to me. Don't forget to include the Coke cups o' p*sh from the upper tier in their match day experience.

Let's put the onus on the supporters if we go into this match looking like a decider of some sort for Europe or even 2nd then absolutely cut their allocation.

We can then take up the rest of the stand and make sure we sell every ticket available. If we cannot sell out the rest of that stand for a game of this importance then the subject probably should not be brought back up.

"Given the lack of time given to plan arrangements and sell tickets, Celtic will occupy the full South Stand. A decision will be made on splitting the South Stand for the Kilmarnock and Rangers game based on demand and sales in the coming week."

I wonder if the fans reps had input into this decision?

I think the issue is that the South Stand has always been seen as the Away stand, that could be from about 90 supporters from the likes of Hamilton to a full stand for Celtic, rangers and hearts. It’s only been fairly recently that we have had to open to home fans. It is a tough choice when it comes to old firm as they generally sell out the away end, meaning more cash for us. How much do we loose for segregation? I have no idea.

So I can see both points of view , sell out more cash. Segregation more Hibs fans .

As long as the Hibs part of the South is pretty much filled then the seats lost to segregation will be worthwhile.

I personally think that segregating the South Stand probably does have economic downsides that make the club (rightly) cautious of doing it, however I think it's also very good publicity that can maybe offset any loss with people buying tickets for future games and even season tickets hopefully.

Given that the game against Rangers is going to be on TV, and the East side of the South Stand is visible on TV when the ball's down that end of the ground, it would be a real eye-opener for fans of other clubs (and random potential punters for that matter) if Hibs - who used to barely muster 10,000 home fans against the Old Firm - were now having to cut a Rangers allocation to squeeze in even more of our own fans.

Lancs Harp
13-04-2018, 08:55 PM
We havent had the demand we have now for decades. This isnt the Hibs of 5, 10, 20 , 30 years ago, this is a new era. Average attendances over 17,500, can any of us have imagined that a few year ago? We put fans in the South stand against the likes of Hamilton (with all due respect to Hamilton) why on earth wouldnt there be a demand against the likes of Rangers or resurgent Kilmarnock post split? (understand the reasons why this couldnt be arranged for the Celtic match). Im hoping in future no one gets more than half the south apart from Hearts with our reciprocal agreement.

davhibby

The small loss of seats for segregation will be justified if the bigger home support helps us gain a place in the table. Money wise it's a big jump between 4/3/2

13-04-2018, 09:10 PM
With a police monitoring systems, cctv etc in the stadium, the fact that in England Liverpool v Everton/ United , Spurs v Arsenal, City v United etc etc are seperated by a mere line of stewards there is no real need for banks and banks of empty seats for segregation. Fans mouth off, but fighting in the stadium? Do we seriously think it would kick off? Its not 1990.

This is beautiful.

Do these clowns realise that we currently get around 2% of the capacity of Ibrox for games through there?

We usually give them around 20% of our stadium's capacity and I highly doubt that if we do reduce their allocation in a few weeks, it will be anything like as small as the allocation they give to our fans.

It's regrettable that we are not doing the same for the Celtic game but I'm sure that if we continue with the current level of sales into next season, their allocation will be reduced too.

I love that we are upsetting Rangers fans so much it is a wonderful feeling and long may it continue.

I don't care about that and I will stick with the idea that I have said for some time now and that is, give them the same percentage that they give us through at their grounds. Also, this time round I would be happy to see a wee corner section allocated to the rangers in the Dunbar end with lots of Hibbies all round them.

The Rangers fans advocating a boycott of Easter Road if they don’t get the full Stand are probably the same ones who threatened to boycott the stadia of all clubs who voted to plummet the newco Sevco to the third tier of Scottish football. Alas, they did not follow that threat.

What is hilarious about the whole thing is that the absolutely genuinely seem to think they are some sort of special case :faf:

Somebody should explain to them that in the real world they are just another club, though to be fair a deeply unpleasant one, and how it works is that when clubs like us are on a bit of a downer crowd wise we will happily suck every last quid out of their glory hunting hordes. When we aren't they are going to have to take what we give them and suck it up like good little Huns.

Something else that they and their east end business partners need to realise is that for clubs like Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen 2 visits each from the arse cheeks in a season is no longer a significant factor in our financial good health .... for Hibs that adds up to 16,000 fans in total and though nobody will deny that that is a fair wedge of cash ( £448,000 if they all paid £28 to get in ) its small potatoes compared to our overall income these days.

In fact you would also have to factor in that if the arse cheeks were replaced in the premiership by say Dunfermline and Dundee Utd they would probably bring a total of 4,000 between them to their 4 games at Easter Road, paying £22 each to get in adding up to £88,000, so that reduces the £448,000 to more like £360,000

If you then factor in the massively increased police and stewarding bill Hibs no doubt have to pay, especially when the Huns visit, that makes a fair dent in that £360,000 as well, lets say as much as £75,000 extra for the 4 visits from the uglies, which reduces that £360,000 to £285,000

So Sevco's value to Hibs in a season is probably around £180,000 ...... roughly what it costs us to keep Lewis Stevenson on the park :greengrin

If we hadn't' given them the whole stand since the we day built it then they wouldn't expect it now, I think we should cut the allocation, however I do think if they were to give us 3900 tickets for Ibrox theres not a chance we'd sell out.

Section 51 was always used for the player comps but this has now been shifted to the upper tier of the West. Hopefully this is more eveident to those in the East. I think even with hospitality full that there was capacity in the top tier.

It’s seems a good policy as there are 250 seats that can now be sold as premium seats to increase revenue.

Demand for the Sevco game will follow our chances. If we’re still in with chance of 3rd or 2nd, it will sell out easily. Celtic match only has a few days to go, Sevco a few weeks.

If we hadn't' given them the whole stand since the we day built it then they wouldn't expect it now, I think we should cut the allocation, however I do think if they were to give us 3900 tickets for Ibrox theres not a chance we'd sell out.

How many did we sell for the cup game many moons ago, took a good crowd through that day, we are looking good just now and probably would sell 3000 for a league game just now against them, Hibs should roll with the good just now and cut the allocation for them, they will moan about it and threaten to not come back but they would given the chance, they treat us like Tom kike when through there, lets for once return the favour on them, 500 tickets should be the amount they get for the game, f*** them.

If you mean the Cup game in 2006 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLV-DCTD2OA) where we won 3-0 (again), then we took 6,400. We had the whole Broomloan Upper Tier and 3 out of 5 sections in the Lower Tier.


As an aside, for some reason they sold seats in two sections pf the Broomloan Lower to their own Fans, despite the rest of the ground not even being sold out. There was quite a bit of 'goading' going on that day ;-)

After the damage the caused in the last game at ER we should offer them a beam back only and leave the seats empty.

:confused:. You can't just ban away fans from purchasing tickets, plus it would be madness to knock back the money for even half the stand.

Expect the Celtic game to sell out within the next 24hrs, about 60 seats left in the East, 18 'normal' seats left in the West (plus about 30 premium) and the usual 10 or so left in the South.


Hibs should announce on Friday that they are reducing the allocation for Rangers/Killie games.

Apologies if already been mentioned ....
I know we’ve played games before , with hibs fans in the south and the fans have mixed outside the ground after 90mins . If/ when we sell out half the stand against the the rangers , I take it the police will lock the zombies in for at least 30mins after the final whistle ??

The Hibs fans from the South Stand will exit via the East Stand. The barrier will be up to let the Zombies get away and we will have to go the long way around to get to Leith Walk. Unlike at Ibrox where the Hibs fans will be kept in and then have to queue for three quarters of an hour at the subway station.

Are we the only team where the home fans are the ones that are disadvantaged at full time ?

I'd say the Huns fans are pretty disadvantaged every full time at Castle Greyskull these days, can't buy a win in Glasgow.

It has never happened. A few years back I had a South Stand season ticket and we were kept back to let the Sheep fans get away. That was before the exit via the East was created. The police were particularly aggressive and wouldn’t even let anyone through to the toilet.

The numbskull in charge kept blethering about it being a Category 1 match, despite the fact that I was there with a Category 2 season ticket. Where did L&B Police find them?

In fairness the policing category doesn’t have anything to do with the ticketing category.

Fair point, but Hibs will need to make a decision soon on tickets for the Rangers game, a wee win on Saturday, should take care of that

Maybe the view is that the longer The Rangers fans remain in the ground the more likely there is to be trouble and vandalism? Best to let them out and get away from the ground.

Get them out first, that way they can be escorted up ER and away on their buses and the trains. More chance of trouble able if we get out first.

They should park the DerHun buses outside Meadowbank Stadium, and send their Fans out via the wee path to the Meadowbank Retail Park.


Leave the Bothwell St bridge and Albion Road for home fans.

The chances of them desecrating Lawrie Reilly Place with their rancid urine would be too great surely?

Killie are selling their tickets and saying there's a limited availability so assuming that means they are only getting half the stand and I'd imagine the same regarding the HunsHuns

With the Sevco being the final game and final games for possibly SJM and Dylan etc I would imagine many Hibs fans will stay around to clap.

Ideally we finish the season in 2nd, beat Sevco and sending their fans packing just like 21/5/16
