Away allocation for easter rd

[blueisthecolour]

I know with hibs poor run of form, attendances have fallen at easter rd, with the east stand down, our allocation is about 800, if attendances don't rise could hibs offer rangers more tickets and move hibs fans in to the other stands to make more cash?


I know hibs fans will prob not want this but would the chairmen consider it in your opinion?

Nope at the most you'll get half the south stand.

Trust me mate, when they are not there, it's not the same, don't know if hibs have played hearts without there fans or vise verse but it's not all it's cracked up to be.

We'd proabably save more cash by not giving your lot any tickets. The lost income would easily be usurped by the savings made on police and stewards that are normally in place.

Away ya go. Bad enough I got moved in the first place, but I would be even more unhappy to get shifted again. Especially to give you dirty huns more tickets.

Nope, 800 will be half the lower tier...If sales are poor I imagine you will get half the upper aswell

Trust me mate ..the place would smell a whole lot better !!!

We hammered them 6-2 when there was a boycott from the yam tramps ... wouldnt have made a difference if there was 3000 or 300 of them that night or not ..we ripped them a new hole !!!!

How many hearts fans went, or did they properly boycott?

I found when we played celtic when their fans were banned from ibrox, we had no one to give pelters to except the players, as much as I hate them in ibrox it helps the atmosphere.

[Keith_M]

Celtc got a total allocation of 1,600, so I'd presume you'll get the same. That's the east half of the South Stand, top and bottom tier.


The problem with moving people from the South to the other stands, something I asked about before, is that most of the empty seats in the other stands are actually already paid for by ST holders. Even if they don't turn up, you can't sell their seats.

Cheers, thats quite a bit more than I expected, I got my email from hibs saying I can't apply myself as all tickets going to supporters clubs.

I would absolutely love to play the Yams with Easter Road full of Hibbies and zero allocation for them.

They went through a period of boycotting Easter Road in the early part of the last decade, a period which co-incidentally saw them having a pish record against us.

And yet they still have a go at us with the 'dressed as seats' jibes because we sold a few less tickets for one game that they couldn't sell out their allocation for either.

Big team my erse.

[Nameless]

I would imagine Rangers and Hearts will just get the lower south east corner, about 800 tickets. As far as I am aware, Hibs can't segregate the concourse for the upper deck, can anybody who was at the Celtic game in the south upper confirm what the arrangements were in the concourse?

For the remainder of the games at ER this season the opposition fans will get half of the lower tier only.

It suggests on the official site today that Rangers and Hearts will get the same as Celtic got?

Strange decision when you consider Celtic got top & bottom and there were still a couple of thousand empty seats in our end, Hibs will sell virtually zero tickets for the remaining fixtures so wouldn't have expected the away allocation to be cut.

It was same at Ross County game. Us folks in the South upper had to buy our pies on the ground floor. They had the catering on the top deck.

[Moulin Yarns]

would it not be the case that the allocation for Rangers be calculated the same way as the Hertz allocation?

If that is the case I would imagine it might be

3030

Hearts have had their allocation doubled to 1400.

No this is absolutely not the case though it is worrying how many people think this and try to use it as justification to limit away fans. (I recently posted figures on tihs and can do so if again if requested.)

Fewer away supporters mean less money unless they can be entirely replaced by home supporters - and in fact limiting the away supporters allocation can reduce home support in totality too due to perception there will be smaller crowd, less atmosphere etc making home fans less likely to go .

You will not find all Hibs fans agree with you on this, many think the 6-2 game was a bit low key due to the small Hearts support after their "boycott" - the 3-0 win the year before at a packed Tynecastle (arguably a more impressive result anyway given Hearts were doing quite well at the time) lives longer in memory of many fans who were at both games. (I have been laughed at for stating this before and know many regular hibs.net posters will disagree but stand by this view)

Without getting into rights or wrongs of so-called boycotts (both clubs have been guilty of overpricing in past to be honest) good news that Hearts allocation has been doubled if true and suspect there will be a similar announcement with Rangers shortly.

The Hun/Jambo pound is as good as anyone elses.

Hibs should take a radical approach and actively encourage away fans. Treat them well and show that the club value their custom. How about a "friends of the family" loyalty card - every fourth visit at a reduced rate. Subsidise transport and sell their club merchandise at a mark up. The home supporters are a limited market and when the team are playing badly attendances drop, so market this to away fans as a chance to see their team pick up an easy away win. Sorted.

Don't know if this is FACT or not but would hope so. We won't fill the ground and this will hopefully mean that when Hearts eventually get around to building their 4th pink bus shelter (sorry, £50000000000000 super-dooper stand and hotel) they'll follow our precedent and give us a similar number of tickets.

Edit - This is FACT....end off!!
