The Rangers allocation

[Cod Boy]

With that lot getting sent here for a third time this season and they way they disrespected the tribute to Ron Gordon. Surely it’s time to cut the allocation of tickets for them.

Would be great if we could. Sick of the sight of them at ER

[Paulie Walnuts]

Won’t happen unfortunately.

Wish we did though.

[.Sean.]

Think it’s well past due we stand up to them, and as was almost unanimously agreed on here in the aftermath of their (downright disgraceful even by they animals standards) last visit some things are worth more than their dirty money.

I won’t be holding my breath however

[Billy Whizz]

If we have any chance of cutting their allocation back, we need to be putting them on sale as soon as possible

[Garymcl]

If we’re gonna do it have to be soon as first of all they’ll be selling there tickets soon once given certain allocation can’t really take it off them ,we must do it soon also from our point of view as can’t see us selling out the rest of stadium ie 3 + most of south if lose first game and put tickets on sale after this I 100% agree with everybody nothing would give more pleasure than us giving them the bare minimum absolutely should get the club behind the this we the fans must put this over to board I personally know if this was done many more fellow hibbys and also women and children wouldn’t be scared to attend presumably the way we start the ball rolling is to contact fan rep forgot his name my apologies ****** it let’s do it :flag:

[HoboHarry]

They should get none. Wouldn't give those tramps spots if I had the measles.

[aljo7-0]

I'm all for cutting it. The last game at Easter Road is the angriest I think I've ever been with them for their behaviour and disrespect.

[weecounty hibby]

As previously mentioned, I'd be happy to buy an additional ticket over and above my ST for this game and donate it to a Hibs fan who may not be able to afford it. Keep them out of ER as much as possible

[TheHibernator]

Don’t think we have the stones to be honest, would love to be proven wrong though

[SHODAN]

How about none?

[HarpOnHibee]

Confine them to the lower tier of the stand and open up the upper tier for more Hibs fans. Absolutely guaranteed to sell out in that scenario.

[Lancs Harp]

Not a game i can make but would buy a ticket and donate it to reduce their allocation

[Steven79]

If Celtic can give them no tickets for Celtic Park then can't we just not give them tickets either?

[Libby Hibby]

Just cut their allocation. Every Hibs fan and many more clubs fans were appalled by their behaviour at the Ron Gordon tribute. Give them as little tickets as permitted and tell everyone why we are doing it.

[Big_Franck]

Absolutely no chance we'll cut Rangers' allocation, as much as I'd love us to. We'll bend over and take their money as we always do.

[Pretty Boy]

We won't do it. We'll do and say nothing as has been the case for decades. The people who make decisions at every club outwith Celtic are scared of them. They know they will get the media backlash, the threats etc etc.

It's why they can hurl stones from the biggest glasshouse of all whilst other clubs have selective deafness when they come to town.

[davcar]

Love it if Hibs could sell a 3 game package for the price of 2 for walk ups to sell out 3 home stands for these 3 matches. I know some ST holders will moan but we need full stands to restrict the OF numbers and allow the team a home advantage.

I honestly think the club should at least cut there allocation and give the reason of there disgusting behaviour at Ron’s tribute at the same time encourage all hibbys to turn up in big numbers and drown out the bigots (very small following)also if successful it can be a permanent thing if enough pressure is put on board and reason as above I’m sure they would be very sympathetic like a lot of previous messages I would also either give up my seat as a season ticket holder and go sit in south stand (to give them same abuse as they dish out to us at iPox or donate a ticket to any other supporter I’m up for it let’s really do this!!:flag:

[eastterrace]

This ain’t sure to sell out as we could both have nothing to play for so cutting allocations won’t be happening.

[Garymcl]

You don’t know the importance of this game it could mean a hellavu lot to us , I just don’t want any of these **** in our ground no ifs no buts it’s simple the more tickets we sell asap for the three home games the more chance we have of selling these games out as earlier posts have mentioned and I was actually thinking about the possibility today about the club doing a 3 game package at a reasonable discount to encourage more walk ups I’m also a season ticket holder wouldn’t bother me and don’t think it most st holders if it meant nearly or full stands ,hearts done it for they’re European group games and I know from mates of mine who snapped them up as it was a good deal financially any thing that helps fill our ground I personally couldn’t think of anything better than sitting above these **** in the South Stand giving them it big time :thumbsup:

[O'Rourke3]

This ain’t sure to sell out as we could both have nothing to play for so cutting allocations won’t be happening.The currents will always sell their allocation as every away game is balloted. Games against us just allow them to indulge their sectarian sh*t in relative safety, and on a Sunday!

We of course might have plenty to play for. We should be. Doing everything in our power to pick up as many points as we can. Their allocation should be held in pending till much nearer the time. They might not have anything to play for but we almost certainly will. There’s a good chance they will be in experimental mode and we. Should be making it as uncomfortable for them as we can. The loss of income might be negated by league position. I say lock em out. They can do the same with us.

[greenlex]

Apart from that time we didn’t. :wink:

Any business that would want to lose £100k would be mad to do so imo while our competitors gain it .We are already behind hertz and Aberdeen financially as it is without making the gap bigger.

[Mikey_1875]

Would love to see it cut to the 900 or so they give us and fill the rest with our fans.

I’d never be for locking out away fans totally no matter how odious. It would just become tit for tat and it is already sad enough for the game that the old firm has went this way.

[greenlex]

Anyone know why Burnley’s allocation at Blackburn tonight is reduced to 2000 whilst the stand is near empty?
We really should be doing this preferably with Hibs fans picking them up.

[Ringothedog]

I would sell a 3 game package for £60/£36. Tickets for the St Mirren and Rangers games would be in the South Stand. The ticket for the Celtic game would be in any of the home stands. If we give them tickets I would restrict the amount to what we get at Ibrox

Think that’s because it’s a mutual agreement. Fairly sure we have to give them something or else we’d have stopped getting tickets for the OF away by now.

Was just reading about that, Blackburn only got 2k at Burnley apparently. Not sure if it's added spite because they can win the league.

Semi-interestingly, most of the comments are calling Blackburn petty and pathetic and can't believe they'd give up the money...

[Itsnoteasy]

No we can't.
This same thread comes up every time they are at San Siro & we can't even sell out the home ends.

[Carheenlea]

I’d only look to cut the allocation if we were to continue with reduced away ticket numbers next season and beyond. We’d need to do the same for Celtic games as well.

As much as I’d love to see their allocations cut, the numbers just aren’t quite there yet.

I think the police may have a say in it. For previous fixtures between Blackburn and Burnley, away fans have been made to travel on specific buses that take them straight to and from the ground.

Is that worth forfeiting £100k every game?

[connerg]

We never will then. When did the board ever stand up for Hibs? Our fans did after we won the cup though. Have things changed? Has Scottish football progressed? Management just hinging on to the old firm pound. Like every other team in Scotland.

[loanhead hibs]

It’s a lot of money for us, might cost us a good player each season but sometimes supporting hibs is worth more than that. I’d rather lose 100k each game and have a backbone. We are hibs and it’s about time we stood up for ourselves.

Hertz, Hertz, the so called big team with the tiny stadium got beat by a very average Hibs team. How many penalties have you had? 10. The same as The Rangers.

If we half their allocation it would only be £50k, but I get what you mean. In effect if we did it 4 times a season it would cost us over £200k which we would have to find from elsewhere. Can we afford to do that I very much doubt it, but as a one off for this game I would urge the club to take the hit and reduce their allocation by half in response to their abhorrent behaviour at the last game

And that’s what we do, every time they misbehave cut their allocation by half. What you will find is that the less of them at the game will encourage more Hibs fans to turn out

[The Baldmans Comb]

Hibs absolutely shat it and allowed them away with their reprehensible behaviour twice so they are hardly going to do anything whatsoever next month.

Stick to complaining about £25 priced tickets at Hampden for cup games against Hearts and make yourself look ridiculous when you charge £32 lowest prices for games against the same team in the league.

Ben picks his battles carefully and Sevco by god arent one of them.��

[Carheenlea]

I see Hearts are giving Celtic 1,264 tickets.

If we can get a couple of thousand more ST’s on board then we can start to consider similar allocations to Old Firm ourselves.

Hearts are only doing this because they know they can sell to their walk ups with what they have available. Cutting allocations and leaving swathes of empty seats just looks daft.

A good finale to season and we can maybe boost those ST numbers enough to then consider South Stand non-derby ST packages/family deals etc.

[hibsforeurope]

was there not a statement after the last Sevco game about action being taken or did i just imagine that? surely now's the time to act.

Whilst you’d obviously rather we sold the tickets ourselves, we’d actually probably make our point more if we didn’t.

A half empty away end generates a bit of a conversation as to why we done what we done. A fill away end with thousands of Hibs fans can probably be put down to us selling the seats to our own fans.

I really hope we take action this time.

Where do you get the £100k figure from?

[Ringothedog]

Where do you get the £100k figure from?

4000 seats at an average of £25

[Paulie Walnuts]

Where do you get the £100k figure from?

3800 x £25ish average for tickets is £95k so it’ll be about right.

We would likely cut their allocation to around 1000 though so you’d probably get £25k or so if that back, a potential reduction on security costs and any home phones that take up tickets in the south.

If we reduce their allocation by 2000, that equates to £60k (at £30 per ticket). Less VAT, £50k. I suspect we'd sell at least some additional tickets but even if we don't, the security and staffing costs would be reduced.

Yeah, I’d suspect the actual loss wouldn’t be anything like £100k.

[Trinity Hibee]

What is funny is that if Hibs/hearts ever decreases the amount of tickets given to OF fans, they take to social media to criticise the clubs saying we’ve been given a miserly allocation.

Get them both to **** and if we can sell out half the away stand we absolutely should be going this. Can’t imagine many will want to share a stand with that lot though.

[eastterrace]

Not running at a loss, accepting slightly less profit than is available.

[Frazerbob]

No, we'd be running at less profit on the day but the ongoing goodwill would be immeasurable. It would also reduce the sporting advantage they get from a full, noisy away end. What price do you put on accepting sectarianism and disrespecting the death of Ron Gordon?

[Paulie Walnuts]

We wouldn’t be running at a loss. We’d still make money from the game.

We could get Ben Kensell to punt gear in the hospitality and we’d make even more money. There’s a very obvious legality issue to that though, much like there is with the party songs the Rangers bring with them. We seem happy enough to turn a blind eye to them though.

Hibs and Hearts have both cut the allocation when there's been enough demand for home tickets. I'm not quite sure how simple and straightforward it can be- the ball's in the court of the home fans.

I'd rather they weren't there, but it would be just stupid and embarrassing to have them sitting next to 2000 empty seats.

The same folk saying it doesn't matter will be the one's complaining if there's less money in the player budget.

[JohnM1875]

Let's be honest. If the club didn't come out and say anything when thousands of them disprespected Ron's memory, then we're not going to say or do anything like cut allocation for this upcoming game.

Still astounded Hibs just let that happen at the last home game.

[snedzuk]

Have you seen their statement re Aberdeen. Hypocrites of the highest order. Zero allocation please - if we can't fill the seats sell them as great big extra advertising spaces.

Part of running a business is listening to your customers.

If, by doing that, Hibs are able to generate sufficient additional income from their own fans by restricting the number of away fans, then that's good business.

You’re suggesting we allow thousands of people to come in to our premises and break the law.

Is that the way to run a business? What other laws should we ignore to make more money?

Don’t see the police allowing Hibs and Rangers fans in the South Stand. It would also mean a loss of segregation outside the ground.
