...towards the south stand. Locked until every last Motherwell fan was given a chance to walk past and flick us the V's.

Is that going to be a permanent thing now? Understand when it's hearts/old firm, but not 500/600 Motherwell fans.

Albion Road walk through to the bridge was blocked off too. Police were obviously expecting trouble today which of course came further up towards the St James Centre.

Guessing the police had some intel on trouble … was a lot more police than normal for an Motherwell game

Today I think it was advisable. There was a lot of pre arranged trouble not just involving the ultras from both teams.

Intelligence lead decision to keep it closed, can’t complain about that.

If intelligence suggested that trouble was on the cards, then why not hold back the Motherwell crowd in stadium for 20 minutes then escort them back up Easter Road/City Centre?

Yep, it's like Hibs don't talk to the police about this stuff.

It would be nice if our liaison officer could perhaps give us a wee explanation/ heads up on this stuff.

I was going out for a meal last night and the extra 15/20 mins to get to meadow Bank made a difference.
