View Full Version : Hearts reducing away allocation to 650

Hearts are set to cut all Tynecastle away allocations to around 650, with the exception of city rivals Hibs (https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/hibernian-fc).

Record Sport understands the Jambos are slashing the number of travelling fans inside their Gorgie ground due to bumper season ticket sales and the demand from walk up punters for home tickets. It means 10 of the 11 clubs visiting the capital next season will be given just one section of the Roseburn stand for Premiership fixtures.

A gentleman’s agreement with the Hibees means Hearts (https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/hearts-fc)’ neighbours will be exempt from the new policy regarding away briefs. They will continue to get all 3,600 seats behind the goals, which ensures Hearts in return will still receive the entire South Stand at Easter Road when they travel across town on derby day. But the remaining top flight fan bases face a ticket scramble when taking on Steven Naismith’s side this season, Celtic (https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc) and Rangers (https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/rangers-fc) in particular

Personally I am quite happy we have came to this agreement. The derby wouldn't be the same atmosphere and buzz if both sets of fans allocations are cut. There is a lot of Hearts fans raging on JKB my mate's saying as they want Hibs to have 650 fans as well due to the fact they think they can sell the other 2000+ seats to the season ticket holders in that stand.
Im sure there is certain Hibs fans on here that think we could do the same and get more of our fans in but I think it would just feel different - apologies if this has been posted already.

If they maintain last season's stumbling form there could be a few climbdowns on this policy next season when Celtic and Rangers are due and it's clear Hearts aren't going to sell out.

As long as they dont get too greedy and "escalate" it to us and ruin the derby atmosphere as our pals in Glasgow have done. If they do retaliation shoukd be zero tickets and so it begins. For God sake see sense.

Hearts are already taking the piss with our allocation at Tynecastle as it is.

Front few rows unavailable, and big sections of each side of the lower tier (no laughing now 🤣) unavailable too.

All whilst they receive an entire stand at Easter Road.

If Hearts reduce our allocation then we will do exactly the same to them so I suppose it's whether they upset 4000 of their own fans who have been going to derbies for years or guarantee a further 1500 season tickets.

If they can sell tickets to their own fans then good on them. I hope we can get to a similar position and tell that pair to like it or lump it.

Equally I hope us and Hearts both avoid the pettiness of Glasgow and continue to treat the derby as special and allocate tickets accordingly.

James Anderson was quoted in an interview last year saying it was important to him that the current allocations for Edinburgh derby matches are retained and he wouldn’t like to see them reduced like in Glasgow. While he is on board at Tynie the current allocation should be safe.

Would we though? I think we'd be happy to take their money and still give them the full allocation if they cut ours. We could have cut Celtic and Rangers allocation but choose the money instead. I never feel the club have the balls to upset away fans. We should be punting them away up in the top tier as far from the pitch as possible.

It’s an added advantage playing at home with limited visiting supports, but in turn, it could work in our favour when playing there with a full, noisy Roseburn Stand for the derby when they get so used to the few hundred visitors.

We need to find a few thousand more fans to regularly commit to attending in order to follow suit, and it should really be a target to be utilising the South to our advantage, but I think it’s a realistic aim.

The limited allocations already given to the Old Firm at Tynecastle have probably contributed to the more anti-social behaviour seen by Old Firm fans in recent times at Easter Road given they’re the only visits to Edinburgh in numbers they’ve been getting? Making the most of just a couple of visits a season rather than four and making a proper outing of it.

We really need to get to a place where we can reduce their allocations without empty seats in their place.

Im in favour for Hearts to keep the full stand at Easter Road in return that we keep the full stand at Tynecastle. However, make no mistake I would love to see us cut the Old Firm's seat allocation in our away end, but as a previous poster has said we would need to be able to fill the seats with our own fans otherwise there would be no real point.

Nah, absolutely not. Away end at Celtic Park is a bad joke, so if the opportunity realistically presented itself, Celtic would get 650 only. Hearts full stand as long as it's reciprocated.

Celtic fans behaviour at Easter Road, whilst not exactly palatable, is nowhere near the level of rancidness offered up by the other lot. Especially their despicable response to the passing of our late owner last season (not once, but twice). Still boils my blood we didn’t comment on that as a club.

I get why people want to tar both cheeks of the OF arse with the same brush but I think anyone who says they are both equally as bad as each other is either a bit wet behind the ears, or being disingenuous.

We don’t get all 3600 seats, with each passing year, the covered segregation area gets bigger, along with the front row. Probably lucky to get 3200 tickets whilst they get nearly 3900 at ER.

I’m sceptical about this huge waiting list that they seem to a) have and b) are suddenly bothered about.

Interesting to see how they segregate in that complete bottleneck of an away end.

Cause you know all the bams Will want to sit in the “away” end and noise up the opposition fans.

If you had the misfortune of walking down Easter Road the last time we played them and witnessed the trail of mess and disregard for anything or anyone other than themselves, you can understand why people can argue that while they may sing different songs, Celtic and Rangers fans are cut from the same cloth.

Good on them but I can't help thinking it's partly the decision of a club that doesn't have to worry about income as much as they have a random millionaire pumping cash in.

As another poster has said, if their form dips, which I think it will, they may end up with egg on their face when they have lots of empty seats for the OF games.

Fair play to Hearts on this one - I love the Edinburgh Derby and you only need to look across to Glasgow to see how ridiculous it looks when you shut out away fans for such big games.

I’d love it if we cut the OF to 650 too, they get such a boost and advantage from having a 3,200 seat (plus all the duplicates) stand to project their hatred from. We just need to get it right on the park and that will hopefully come. Look at the allocations we get at their x3 size stadiums…time for us to fight back.

It's pathetic that we class having 3200 fans as them having an advantage. There are 3 stands worth of Hibs fans, we should have the home advantage.

The advantage they have is on the park. You can cut their away allocation to 1 fan, they'll still beat us comfortably on most occasions.

I know someone whose 9-year-old son was pushed into a street full of moving traffic by fans of ra Sellick. It's time Hibs fans stopped treating them as some kind of green cousins.

When we pumped the huns at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup with 4/5k Hibs fans behind the goals it absolutely made a difference. It was a wall of sound from our fans. It would have inspired the players. It's the same when those bigots come to Easter Road.

Not bothered by the who is worse chat when it comes to the Uglies. In the end the aim has to be for Hibs to be in a position to cut allocations to everybody apart from Hearts, not out of pettiness, but because the numbers from our own support make it necessary. That isn't impossible if we could galvanize what is a slightly smaller supporter base than Hearts, but still big enough to do it with the right motivation.

As another poster alluded to though. Nothing exposes the shortsightedness of the Hearts mega stand project than this situation, their failure to make it a double decker cantilever stand with a 9,000 capacity, which for the money they have spent they could easily have done, is already proving costly. If they genuinely need around 2,500 extra seats from the away stand to house their own fans then that's 2,500 away fans ( who are mostly adults ) being kept out.

If they make the top 6 then that's a total of 10,000 Uglies not paying and probably around 1000 Aberdeen fans as well. At lets say £35 a punter that's £385,000 lost every season for as long as this situation lasts.

One thing is for sure ... If Hearts were to cut our allocation we would simply have to retaliate and it doesn't matter what our average home fans attendance is ... they know it too, which is why they will not cut our allocation.

When it’s Rangers, ER is pretty much lined with them, with loads on horseback.

When Celtic visit, there’s a few police on foot dotted along ER.

You’ll also see Hibs and Celtic fans having beers or chatting outside the bars. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that with Rangers fans.

Before the cup game at Ibrox where we pumped them 3 - 0 we were in a boozer not more than a 10 minute walk from the stadium. Due to the big Hibs support that day the pub was near enough half and half Hibs and Rangers fans and you would be amazed how civilized it was, we even managed a chat with a couple of Sticky Buns who had a kid with them and they were surprisingly amiable.

No doubt the fact that the numbers were even kept a lid on things and it was pre 2012 .... I don't think its just me who thinks the fans of that club have become far far worse after fan power stopped them getting their way and they were given real and tangible evidence of just how despised they are by the rest of Scottish football.

Hearts fans have a strong dislike for Celtic fans, largely because Hearts have an element of their support rooted in sectarianism and dislike of catholics.

No chance they just have a few police dotted around when they go to Gorgie Library.

Correct.

I can assure you the Policjng presence at Tiny Park and surrounding area will be similar to that at ER.

Tbh it’ll probably be more internally there given that both home and away fans are present in the same stand.

The risk attached to both fixtures will also be very similar!

Whether certain hibs fans like it or not there is definitely a "friendlier" atmosphere with celtic fans than huns. Even back in the 80s when football was a bit livelier we could go for a pint at near Parkhead no problem. We could never do that then or now with Rangers. Im sure the opposite is the same with hertz/celtic.

If there is the demand from Hearts fans for the seats, then the club is right to take care of its own fans first. The Old Firm will be raging, no doubt, but so what?

:agree:

Hearts fans have a strong dislike for Celtic fans, largely because Hearts have an element of their support rooted in sectarianism and dislike of catholics.

Jealous of them? Never. Never ever.

Shellick and hertz are probably on the par for outright sectarian ***** imo, I wouldn’t class rebel songs as being sectarian. Celtic have never refused to sign a footballer because of their religious beliefs as far as I’m aware, that puts rangers on a completely different level to them altogether. I have to take my hat off to Catholic Rangers players, I couldn’t do it.
