Rangers away - build up thread

[Callum_62]

They should have been made to make alternative arrangements a week and a half ago

Absolute abhorrent club, they really are

That’s a disgrace from Rangers. Genuinely would be happy to see us lock them out next times they’re at Easter Rd for this.

[B.H.F.C]

Its far too late in the day now. Most folk will have made other plans and folk running buses etc will have no chance. The club would be better telling them to ram their tickets and lodge a complaint. Also explain that we wont be giving them any allocation for Easter Rd

We’ll still shift a fair chunk of them. A lot of the folk that go to Ibrox are folk that go week in, week out and rarely miss a game.

If we do eventually get them, I wonder if the ticket office might end up open on Saturday for collection.

[Carheenlea]

Hibs were told of the SPFL ruling on Monday, but haven't received the tickets from the Huns.

Hence the media "leak" via Hibs Obsever

If the Scottish newspapers can drag themselves away from fawning over “Brendan” and “Philippe” for 5 minutes then they might just pick up on the story and maybe see some pressure put on Rangers.

[flash]

At least The Rangers are consistent.

In every situation and at every opportunity they without fail manage to show a complete lack of class, dignity and humility.

Hopefully they die again and soon.

[Manxhibs]

Media won’t want to rock the European boat for them. Too important for the coefficiency (in their eyes).

The whole thing simply highlights the disparity between the old firm and the rest.

To quote Kevin Keegan “I’d love it if we beat them”, with or without our fans there.

[Glory Lurker]

They should be facing repercussions anyway for failing to pass over tickets before now.

[gbhibby]

Tell them to stuff the tickets where the sun don't shine

[B.H.F.C]

Tell them to stuff the tickets where the sun don't shine

Na. That gives them what they want. And there are plenty of folk that want to actually go!

[Tambo]

Leaving it late for an announcement for those wanting to go.

Back to on the pitch, do you think SDG will go with 3 at the back? Any latest on Newell?

[basehibby]

Rangers are a disgrace - obviously dragging their feet over the tickets and deserve punishment.

I however will be watching in the pub anyway - so any team news?

My guess at the starting lineup:


Bursik
Miller Ekpiteka O'Hora Obita


Triantis Kwon
Cadden Campbell Rudi

Myko

I wouldn't play Campbell, he doesn't retain possession well enough in these games to warrant a starting position.

I'd go with a change of shape if possible:

Bursik
Miller Ekpiteta O'Hora Iredale Obita
Triantis Molotnikov Kwon
Kucharevich Youan

More important that they continue to find enough favour to secure their packages to travel on what must be very enjoyable Euro junkets to cover the Old Firm.

It’ll soon be weekend debrief time so plenty to fill their pages with without worrying too much about this ticket debacle.

[Nicho87]

I try and bring my kids up don’t do tit for tat

But this is beyond

Lock them out hibs

No tickets or bare minimum for that lot from now on.

[Bishop Hibee]

Still no news. All Radio Scotland had this morning was a piece on whether or not Clement will go to Anderlecht. In the pockets of the OF.

[HH81]

Hibs should take the tickets (if offered in the end) then announce no away fans at the next game at ER.

[Golden Bear]

Hibs should take the tickets (if offered in the end) then announce no away fans at the next game at ER.

Nah, that only inflicting financial damage on Hibs.

I'm presuming it's THE Rangers Board that have delayed any decision on Sunday's game so these are the guys who should be informed that they'll not be welcome at ER and no hospitality will be offered.

[Carheenlea]

With Rangers away in Malmo for European action, there’s maybe not much will from the boardroom to be sorting this out while their snouts are stuck in the Swedish hospitality trough.

This doesn’t look like it’s going to be happening.

[davhibby]

Hibs should’ve put something out publicly this morning. Going a week from the last statement without any update is really poor

[marinello59]

Our club have done absolutely nothing wrong here. We already know that they have taken the correct steps to try and resolve this. There's really nothing else they can add to what has already been said. We know what the situation is, Sevco are stonewalling.

Agree. No idea why we had to rely on what Hibs Observer reported last night to get any update

He should go, I went, I really enjoyed myself. 🤭

[B.H.F.C]

There isn’t much that surprises me where that lot are concerned but this is beyond ridiculous. The game is in less than 72 hours ffs. And we all know they’ll pretty much get away with it.

[Bishop Hibee]

I will pay for the cost of one away ticket and many more of us will do the same. Set up a GoFundMe.

David Gray also addressed it in today pre match press conference - he confirmed that the club have done everything in their power to get the 932 tickets for our fans.

I still say that - imv - the building work means that Rangers cant accommodate all of their fans and want Hibs to roll over and say "dinnae worry". Rangers have been emailing their fans requesting missing/holidaying fans put their STs on the ticket exchange website all week.

That Hibs demanded the full allocation and forced the SPFL to tell Rangers to provide these is absolutely the right way to deal with it.

Tears and snotters statements (a la The Huns) make clubs look stupid.

We could always invite David King instead 😈

[GreenCastle]

90 days since the fixtures were released and 3pm on Thursday before a game on Sunday and we have no idea if Hibs fans can attend. Tin pot league!

[green day]

Huns have (at 3pm exactly) announced the stand is available and Ibrix will be at full capacity.

Zero mention of away tickets

To be fair, they’ve no reason to discuss away tickets.

Presumably we’ll hear from Hibs soon and we’ll hear we have our usual allocation. If not then questions need to be asked of those that run the game in Scotland.

[GreenCastle]

Assuming Hibs will get tickets if the stadium is full capacity - they were obviously waiting to see if the new part of the stand was ready to be opened.

The other question is..have they improved the safety / entrance for away fans - something Celtic questioned few weeks back.

[matty_f]

I think they should have added a line on away tickets even if it's to say that they've communicated the situation to Hibs. It's their mess, they should own it.

[Paulie Walnuts]

It’s a communication to their own fans, for me their duty is to let their own fans know what’s going on. It’s for Hibs to let us know and then the authorities to deal with them imo.

[B.H.F.C]

I think they should have added a line on away tickets even if it's to say that they've communicated the situation to Hibs. It's their mess, they should own it.

They’re no interested in the rules or inconvenience to anyone else.

They simply don’t give a ****. Nothing to own as far as they’re concerned.

[marinello59]

Tickets on sale to Hibs First at 5 pm

[IanM]

5pm sale full allocation

[Since90+2]

They've clearly been backed into a corner to do this. Absolutely no chance they wanted to give us any.

The club have obviously applied enough pressure behind the scenes to get these. Those having a dig at the club should maybe remember that if something like this was to happen again.

[Hibs90]

We can confirm that Hibernian FC will receive a full away allocation for this Sunday’s William Hill Premiership match against Rangers.

We have just received the ticket information from Rangers and will go on sale to Hibs First members at 5pm.

Full ticket information and further sale dates will be detailed at 5pm. We’d like to thank our supporters for their patience during this frustrating time.

[Mikey_1875]

It’ll be interesting to see what the details are in terms of actually getting the tickets. Hopefully it is digital but it usually isn’t for Ibrox. Ticket office normally only open from 10-4 tomorrow. Hopefully they can organise pick up from the club shop on Saturday.

Timing of the announcement is no coincidence. They announce full capacity and a short time later we have our allocation.

If they didn’t have that open I think they’d just have bumped us, irrespective of what the league have ruled.

Sounds about right based on the Hibs Observer article last night.

If it’s not digital I’m hoping that arrangements will be made to pick up tickets at Ibrox. Picking up at the ticket office is no good to a lot of out of towners.

That should really be "full" as we take more to most grounds than we do to Ibrox and the allocational is not reasonable imo. Absolute shambles and I hope they will be fined appropriately

Those running the club get plenty grief, not least from myself, but in this instance they deserve plenty credit for fighting our corner, following the correct procedures and ultimately winning out and securing a full allocation.

Hear hear, eventually got one after ticket master sent a message saying they couldn’t process my original order. Hope the rest of the allocation gets taken up now. We’re due a result over them, be good if there’s a big Hibs’ contingent to see it.

Original PDF on your phone is absolutely fine ✅

Once a supporter purchases a ticket online, our ticketing team will need to manually intervene to get PDF tickets sent over.

Please note, there may be a slight delay in ticket delivery given the manual admin work involved but the team will work over hours to get all tickets fulfilled today and over the weekend.

I’m popping my head into ER today, I’ll pick up with the team about emails to Hibs First members - they now come from the main Hibs email account (not HibsFirst@).

[GreenCastle]

Looking at the seating map still looks like quite a few available.

The late notice really hasn’t helped the situation.

Seems Newell and Boyle questionable for the game.

[Tyler Durden]

In terms of the team for the game, I'd go something like this

Bursik

Miller
Marv
O'Hora
Obita

Cadden
Kwon
Triantis
Cadden

Hoilett

Myko


I think we need our wide players to be good defensively and get up and down. Kwon should have license to get in the box and Hoilett should be given almost a free role.

There's no real logic in playing a back 3 IMO, we haven't looked comfortable like that and it doesn't really help against Rangers playing Dessers as a lone 9. Better to match up and count on our midfield to do the job defensively.

I don’t think that will be far away in terms of personnel but I think we’ll set up a bit different, similar to the last couple of games.

Think Miller will come back in and Chris Cadden will play in front of him with Youan dropping to the bench. I also think Josh Campbell will come in for Molotnikov. And Hoilett will play on the left instead of Nicky Cadden.


Not all necessarily what I would do but I think it might be what Gray does.

[Green-Hibee-7]

I’d say about 400 left on sale atm.

I had selected seats on the map that shouldn’t have been on sale, player comps. Got a phone call about it, moved me down a couple of rows. No issues as they caught it and sorted it quickly. Fair play to the because Rangers have landed them in the ****.

There were comments earlier in the thread about Hibs not giving a toss about away fans but they’ve been good here IMO.

[0762]

Fair play to the Club pushing on this and the Ticketing guys behind the scenes. Can’t be an easy task manually having to deal with this.

[Ayrshire Hibee]

This will be my first visit to Ibrox since the 3-0 win on 10.11.2010....there wasn't many there that night. I've not bothered to apply for tickets in recent seasons as the tickets go before general sale. It's buses from Killie to match as trains not running. Hopefully we get a result.

[jakeshibs]

There seems to be plenty of seats left, but this last-minute allocation has not been good. The club has been fantastic at fighting for the tickets, so let's fill them.

Really tough game today - Huns seem to have found form and full stadium will be expecting a performance.

I just hope we don’t lose an early goal and would take a draw right now.

A win would be massive for David Gray getting credit in the bank.

Real test for the back line once again and keeper is going to need to have a good game.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Looking forward to watching us today.

Are we asking Campbell to playing out wide looking at that. If he naturally finds himself drifting central and deep we are going to find it really difficult to get up the pitch and feed it to Kuch and get up in support to play off him.

[hibee-boys]

I think we'll take an absolute doing if that's the team.

I’m not Campbell’s biggest fan but if there was ever a game to play him with Joe not available this is it. Don’t have an issue with a more defensively minded No.10 today.

[blackpoolhibs]

I wouldnt have played Campbell, but cant argue with the rest of the team.
