I was actually thinking about that today ,definitely should do it and get the club told we’re up for it ,honestly think we wo7,d sell our allocation out would love it ,I know we’ve the Huns at home at the split but are we not at Celtic away
Give them the reciprocal 2/3% which includes the gap between supporters.
Do what celtc did to us, offer them a couple of blocks and once sold offer the next blocks.
I know the flaw is that they are guaranteed to sell all the tickets.
If we can sell 18,000 tickets, then why not.
We only get 800 for Ibrox so ~2k for Easter Road is more than generous
Think we will be away to Celtic but my point was more that we shouldn’t be making differences between them...we announced a reduced allocation and the shut off bottom corner blocks for Rangers but not Celtic...whatever we are doing should be for both in my opinionQuote:

What did we give them for the 5-5 game? Half the Dunbar end? Give them that, or less if possible with segregation
Absolutely. Dundee Utd should also be getting their allocation cut too
Can't be done, clubs have to agree away supports before season starts, next season however we should go for it!
We've cut allocations during the season in the past though have we not?Quote:

400 seats in the middle of the South lower, no working toilets in the upper section.
Would give the Huns 900 max.
Dundee Utd always seem to be pretty fair with us.
Get the tickets on sale to Hibs fans as soon as the date is known and say we will sell as much of the south as we can down to the exact proportion they give us 2% or so.
Let them know their allocation a week before the game as well.
I agree as soon as we know the date against them open up at least half the south to us ( I personally for one game would move there to help make sure we see our lot ) we’ve got to make it clear asap to our club we don’t want them getting there usual allocation ,the disgraceful behaviour from them the day we honoured Ron Gordon
If Dundee Utd could get a full house for a game against us, we'd get the Jim McLean Stand (1,400) and nothing more.Quote:

Don’t think that’s the case.Quote:

True, but since when does the SPFL/SFA rules need to be adhered to by that pair?Quote:

You’ve just made that up. Multiple teams change the allocation on offer over the course of a season - us included. Aberdeen for instance gave Motherwell less than the usual allocation for the game the other weekQuote:

Our small allocation at Ibrox, generally, makes it an unenjoyable experience, and, as shown at Parkhead a few weeks ago, it immediately becomes a more enjoyable/safer experience when there is considerably more tickets available.
Are we going to let the gadgie who was sitting all alone at hunbox in?
Or is he still there waiting on his new pants to arrive?

We sold out the allocation, and getting more Hibs fans in those south stand seats is much better for Hibs on every level.Quote:

If our Ibrox allocation doubled, we'd still sell it out. We take more than that to Aberdeen and Dingwall ffs.Quote:

If the demand is there from Hibs fans then they should be the priority. I supposed from a business perspective you have to factor in the additional stewarding and Police costs but if the seats aren't just sitting empty then that may be worth it.
It's game we are highly likely to have demand outstripping supply so look after our own. They always say they will boycott or whatever next time we give them the full allocation but they never do so it's not even a consideration.
If Hibs did split the South Stand, we'd have to take into consideration that there would be a few hundred seats left empty for segregation, so that would be additional income missed out on.
Plus the behaviour at games in recent times, from certain Fan groups, has gradually worsened so stewarding/policing could be a problem.
Ah because we are now winning. Go back the last 10 seasons and the Ibrox allocation was more than enough. So now we are winning we are entitled to more tickets.Quote:

Pretty sure we've taken more than 900 to Hampden on every occasion so that's bat**** argument to make.Quote:

To help out ItsNotEasy, who is doing a wonderful job of talking down the Hibs support here, and just off the top of my head, the last 5 away games I've been to were all sold out away ends & none of those were Ibrox or Tynecastle:
Ayr United Away = 3000 sold out
Celtic Away = 7000 sold out
Tannadice Away (first game) sold out behind the goal, new stand opened up for Hibs support (also sold out)
St Mirren away (sold out)
St Johnstone away (sold out - full stand behind the goal and half of touchline stand - all sold out)
We've went to general sale for Celtic park on countless occasions, we recently sold 8000 at said stadium so not sure the argument stacks up. If we got 1500 for Ibrox each time we went, we'd sell them with no issues imo.Quote:

Need to let the away club know their allocation with 2 weeks notice of the game (according to the SPFL's rules). You'd presume clubs will know how many they'll give each club so probably won't be a problem for the first round of post split fixtures.Quote:

Adds to the occasion.
In any case the Hibs support is far too fickle to halve supports when we feel like it. I don’t think we’d maintain a 50/50 split in the South thus making us look silly going forward.
It still sold out within hours of going to general sale on a day that we were playing a game. (3 weeks before the game as well)Quote:
Originally Posted by DH1875

If we’d only sold it out days before the game last week you’d maybe have a point but these were all gone a week before sales usually start for away games
Just like that time (this season) Rangers couldn't inform us of where the game was even being played, or the amount of tickets we would receive, until the week of the game.Quote:

Not sure the Hibs support is any more or less fickle than other clubs to be honest? Argument could be made the support is magnificent, and in large number has stood with the club through many low points.Quote:

And as for looking silly… it’s no primary school mate. When the demand is no longer there for home fans in the south, sell more to the OF, simple as that.
I’d be giving the huns 50% of the south (at the very most) for the post split game this season.
Oh I'm totally all for slashing their allocation, and we all know the SPFL's rules and what they actually enforce are quite often very different things.Quote:

Obviously I don't know those figures and let's say £10k increase for the afternoon? £25k to bring in an extra 1,000-1,500 Hibs fans to the game is well worth it imo.
Spot on 👍Quote:

The demand should be stable enough to do so for a long period otherwise happy to keep it as it is.
Let’s sell out every other stand regularly first.
Anyway, just the way I see it.
The point I was making there is we couldn't sell our allocation for Hampden eitherQuote:

I really don’t wanna start getting in that argument with hearts. Otherwise they’ll reduce us too. While we might get less, it’s still basically the full stand barring some of the bottom corners so let’s just not cause an unnecessary war. Cos then you need to start with different segregatation outside the ground tooQuote:

30 minutes should be enough, and not to forget, we don't let them use the toilets whilst waiting, just like us at Ibrox!
Good. More Hibs fans in the ground when we pip them to 2nd place.
I would love this to happen, really would show that we're standing up for our fans.Quote:
