Away fans this season

[BegbieHSC]

I see Celtic are not allowing Hearts fans in, despite being given the go ahead for full capacity.

They’ve claimed to Hearts this is “ due to the need for sections of the stadium to remain sterile in order to maintain a Red Zone, resulting in affected home supporters being moved to other areas of the ground.”

Anyone heard about ‘red zones’ or do we reckon Celtic are just doing a tit for tat because they didn’t get any fans into the **** tip first game of the season?

Given the ****my behaviour of the Old Firm in recent years, it wouldn’t surprise me if they saw an opportunity to close out away fans altogether.

[Hermit Crab]

They've got a bit of a beef with hearts do they not? Boycotts and all that is there not?

[BegbieHSC]

I actually see the Huns, with a smaller, more condensed stadium are giving Dunfermline their standard 850 away allocation, so it does look like it’s out of spite from Celtic to Hearts.

Given season tickets aren’t active for cup games, the league should be telling them to bolt and give hearts the tickets they are due. If some of their fans can’t get in then that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

And all they will be doing is handing a big fat cheque to Hearts, for their share of the gate
Pretty poor from Celtic, even if Hearts fans were boycotting the game anyway

Different scenario but Livingston have designated the main stand as a red zone so fans are in the North and South stands.

Presuming our red zone extends to the seats behind the dugouts used by players

It’s very amusing that it’s Hearts getting the boot first, but I do honestly reckon that it’s probably a long term ambition of the Old Firm to close the doors to away fans, so it’s not a nice precedent.

This ‘red zone’ patter sounds like a petty, petty excuse.

That will never happen because clubs like us, Aberdeen and Hearts have the balls to give them zero, or a severely reduced allocation at ER, Pittodrie or Tynecastle.

Is that allowed under Spfl rules?

[where'stheslope]

It looks to me that covid was the devil and no fans allowed, now the restrictions are being lifted, its a reason to stop away fans from entering their stadium?
Was the green brigade not around tynecastle fighting before the game last Saturday?
It seems to me that they have the right to do what they please, and the rest of us just bow to them!!!
The Peers of Scottish Football should be up in arms about this, not hiding under their green hooped blankets!!!!

[Sir David Gray]

They're also continuing with their policy of not providing PPV streams for their home league games which aren't on Sky - I believe they're the only team in the league to have such a policy.

**** Celtic.

[BegbieHSC]

On the plus side, at least Celtic fans will get the joy of experiencing the match behind that ****ing pillar.

[Peevemor]

Is that allowed under Spfl rules?No. The clubs are meant to agree between them the provision for visiting fans. If no agreement can be reached then the SPFL will arbitrate/decide for them.

[BegbieHSC]

The Old Firm, sadly, always move together and find a way.

I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if Covid is the excuse they need to scrap the rule on away fans.

[BegbieHSC]

The Old Firm, incidentally out of their own pettiness with away fans, have destroyed the atmosphere of one of the world’s biggest derbies.

The Edinburgh Derby is now far superior for fan atmosphere at a third of the capacity.

Rangers’ own fans hate that decision from the club going by social media. Celtic just followed suit and I’d expect Hibs to do that to hearts if they had reduced our allocation.

No chance Huns would let them in.

It's not some conspiracy. There are 4 blocks out of action in the main stand due to covid protocols. The fans that sit their will be moved to the away section(s). Celtic fans commit to all home cup games whether they can attend or not, the club aren't going to risk locking them out for some away fans.

Infact i'd go as far as saying hibs having 8000 seats out of action at this stage of the season is a bigger balls-up.

[007]

Celtic are at it. Hearts rightly didn't allow any Celtic fans in because they only got about 25% capacity due to covid and the council's decision. Since then the rules have been changed and Celtic are allowed 100% capacity.

[SHODAN]

They're doing a Schrodinger's boycott of the NY derby at Easter Road later this season. It exists in a state of boycott and non-boycott, which collapses based on their form in the lead up to the game.

All Celtic fans don’t commit to cup games. Celtic are actively selling tickets just now, instead of that they should be offering away fans an allocation that they are entitled to first of all and remaining leftovers being sold to their fans.

I’m unsure about the nature of ‘red zones’ but what I don’t understand is how Rangers, with a smaller, 50,000 seater stadium and 45k season ticket holders can accommodate away fans, but Celtic, with 50k season tickets in a 60,000 seater stadium can’t.

[Aim Here]

What is the Hearts boycott about?

The grandiose spluttering after they went doon was that, other than a select few gud guys like Partick Thistle and Caley Thistle, Hearts fans were going to stand united and boycott all away games to deny the maroon pound to those perfidious denizens of the SPFL for voting the way they did. I think they had some slogan like 'Hearts first' or 'Only Hearts' or whatever to go along with it.

We all know that fans being fans, they won't keep away. Rangers fans couldn't even properly boycott Dundee United even in the heat of the moment, and with the club itself aiding the boycott by refusing to sell tickets. Here, the Jambos have had a year to cool down, the club aren't going to make buying tickets harder for them, and it's only a minority of fans on that JKB thread that are reminding folks about the boycott.

[Glory Lurker]

Thanks all. I did wonder if it was that maroon pound thing. What a bunch!

Teams with terrible old main stands like Celtic and Aberdeen seem to be having to close of much more of the stand for the red zone than anyone else. Don’t see why away fans should suffer because the home teams stadium isn’t up to scratch

I think celtics Season tickets include cup games. So they have 55k people who could potentially turn up. I think that's the logic?

The worry is, all league games will be the same?

Not the case, season ticket holders have the chance to purchase all cup games along with it. Some will, some won’t. They are selling tickets to season ticket holders now.

[BegbieHSC]

All I can say, at this stage with capacity crowds being approved, if any club gave us notification that they wouldn’t be allowing our fans in, I’d be inclined to return the favour at Easter Road.

Petty, I know, but the entitlement of Old Firm fans is just ridiculous. Remember the outcry when we were regularly selling out when we cut their allocation to match what they give us?

As expected, Celtic tickets go to general sale. I’d put a fair amount of money that more than 1000 have gone to general sale therefore those fans in the away end could’ve been housed in the home end and Hearts given an allocation. Brutal that the league allow that to happen.

Were there no Celtic fans at the hearts game earlier in the season? I'm sure there were.

No, but that was more down to there being a capacity limit of 25%, and around 50% of hearts ST sales. Celtic are playing the ‘we need the away end’ for STH’s whilst putting tickets to general sale.

Exactly. And folk trying to make excuses for them are just as bad.

Let’s be honest, the away end is the last place they’d stick their own most loyal fans.

Hearts literally had twice as many season tickets as seats. There’s a massive difference. Tickets already sold should be honoured, both Celtic and hearts done that. Celtic had a huge amount left over and still do, hearts didn’t.

Restrictions were still in place - Hearts had more season tickets than seats allowed.

Come on - green tinted specks aff - just because we don’t like them doesn’t mean we can’t agree they are being wronged. If it was anyone other than Hearts or Huns, we’d be screaming solidarity with them. If it was us, we’d be kicking off like there was no tomorrow.

The key bit in what one of the previous posters said is that we need to be flying to do it. We did it for the 5-5 game (tickets had all obviously been sold before the Hearts game a few days before) and all the tickets were gone and we could have sold more.

We cut Rangers allocation in the playoff in 2014/15 but that was purely in response to them not increasing our allocation at Ibrox for the first leg despite them having 10,000 empty seats themselves.

We did give Celtic half a stand and failed to sell the tickets though, won the game 2-0.

Give them 0. If we're flying then we'll be able to sell the whole stadium out ourselves.

Unless we're sitting 5 points clear top of the league we'll never be able to sell 20,500 tickets for whats likely a 12/1230pm kick-off against Celtic.


I’d be seriously annoyed if I was a fan and couldn’t go and see my team!
I’d be surprised if Celtic fans don’t put pressure on their board to give Rangers 700 or so

Celtic fans aren't that fussed. The vast majority of the tickets went to corporate season ticket holders and sponsors. Barely any tickets went to normal punters. Those that did it was a case of going to the ground 1.5hrs before kick-off and being kept in an hour after etc. Supporters buses that would get 50 tickets for Aberdeen away were getting 2 or 3 for Ibrox.

Mental prices. But. On the bright side I see Hearts are getting the shed behind the goal. Should make for a brilliant atmosphere under the lights in their for the league cup tie.

You don’t ‘lose’ what you never had. Sometimes principles are far more important than money.

Wasnt the 5-5 with Rangers a 50/50 in the away end match? One of the best atmospheres ive witessed at ER especially early doors and 3 up. Brill at the end too when we got back on terms.

Just putting it out there but as fans we often moan about money ruining the game, how money mad other football leagues are and how different we are at Hibs but any suggestion about cutting the away end allocation in the case of the OF is greeted by we cant afford to loose the money. Make you're minds up. Both of them take the pi55 with their own away allocations even to the extent of ruining the atmophere at their own derby, god forbid we and Hearts ever go the same way. For me limit their tickets fill the ground full of Hibs fans even if we have to give the tickets away to our own, it will pay long term. Easter Road is our church its for Hibs fans first and foremost. Its up to the club to fill it, its the easy way out just to give the tickets to the OF. If you want and your be all and end all is a gaurunteed sell out just give them all 20,000 tickets.

How are clubs , mainly Celtic still getting to decide if they are allowed away fans or not. Surely the sfa/sfl need to step in and tell clubs that we should be back to normal

Red zone or no red zone I struggle to believe that a club couldn’t follow these rules and also have away fans

There is the small matter of more than 9,000 empty seats to fill at every home match this season.
Ron is all about the money so the old firm fans allocation at Easter Road is as safe as a safe thing that has just been made safe.

Sadly that means we will be getting pumped for the same exorbitant sum when we visit.

The "view" you get for that price just adds insult to injury.

Yeah, considering going in with the home fans rather than face that.
