Empty seats at Castle Greyskull

***lucky*** · 29-09-2009 07:36 PM

Watching the Huns on TV and cant believe the number of empty seats. Looks like the appeal of CL footie is wearing thin on the blue nose hordes. Anyone an idea of cost tonight for them?

It is actually good for the rest of Scottish football as they will taking in less money then they will continue to struggle and rest might have a chance to close the gap.

Think the current climate is a big influence - plus Giro's dont spread as much when you have 2 games a week.

**yogi984** · 29-09-2009 07:56 PM

Might I add maybe not anymore :)

40 quid for quality football - can't be bad.

***jacomo*** · 29-09-2009 08:38 PM

There must be a lot more empty seats now, no?

**ancient hibee** · 29-09-2009 08:42 PM

Presumably a large number of empty seats for the away support?

***Winston Ingram*** · 29-09-2009 09:33 PM

There fixed it for you.

I live with a few rangers fans who go 5-6 times a year. Apparantly you had to buy a minimum 3 tickets for the game, which is £110ish.

Not saying thats an excuse, but seems a silly policy when there are spare seats.

not totally accurate
you could buy the 3 game package, then the single games went on gen release
and it is a long way from fife, dundee, edinburgh, aberdeen . ayrshire etc........................

You know, there was a time I would watch all the Scottish Clubs play in Europe apart from Hertz of course, but in all honesty I'm neither up nor down with it now to be honest........

All huff and puff, promises blah blah and we are so far behind Europe in all aspects of the game these days it's embarrassing - so 1-4 was no great surprise.

Sad but predictable.

The thing is, it doesnae bother me one way or another if they win or lose as I'm only interested in Hibs but the pain of Hamilton & St Johnstone is still there albeit lessened slightly following the Motherwell game.

The only team I dislike and don't want to do well is Hertz - that's it for me likes.

Official attendance was 40,572 so there were a lot more empty seats than just that.

Is it possible that season ticket holders don't / can't go to midweek games?

**Moody Mulder** · 30-09-2009 10:15 AM

Maybe the central scotland postal strike stopped a lot of them receiving their giros this week?

No.

Because if it had been Rangers v Liverpool or Rangers v Man U or Rangers v Barca or Rangers v Milan etc etc etc it would've been a sellout. No doubt. More to do with the fact the gloryhunters couldn't be arsed with boring old Seville

The ticket prices can't have help much mind you. £32 for a season ticket holder, £38 for non-ST holders.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 30-09-2009 11:13 AM

Seems to be acceptable to slag other teams supports this week again, as it certainly wasn't last week!

Expect the same amount of empty seats tomorrow.

Only 40,000 Celtic tickets been sold i've been led to believe.

3000 Rapid coming across should make a cracking atmosphere!
