Celtic game - segregation

**down-the-slope** · 10-01-2011 09:49 PM

With us un-likley to fill our end for match and their fans wanting to see Freddie.....will that not lead to even more chance of having Celtic fans in our end? or is the database system fool proof

Or does it not matter?

***sleeping giant*** · 10-01-2011 09:51 PM

We will fill the 3 stands no problem. Seige mentality and all that !

***Bayern Bru*** · 10-01-2011 09:53 PM

People have been talking about giving them some of the East - we'd get more money I presume as I doubt we'd fill it - and perhaps that would limit the chances of soapdodgers in the Hibs end.

Policing it however, seems to be the main stumbling block. As always, there will be a few cases of Celtc fans in the Hibs end, but nothing major I'd have thought.

Ultimately I don't think there'll be much difference.

Is the Celtic end sold out?

They can take a running jump at themselves....give them the West stand, its emptier than the East

**new malkyhib** · 10-01-2011 10:42 PM

Give "them" nowt.

Give "us" a signing or two to lift the place. That way we can collectively try and beat them and lift our season. Over to you Petrie.

That will never while Hibs are in their family home.

**HibeeMcGinn1** · 10-01-2011 10:48 PM

Get them tae ****
not having anymore of those unwashed tramps in our ground than there is. We never built a bigger stand to allow the smellies more fans. Any Hibs fan that thinks it would be good for money is clueless. **** um.

So Josh......

Is that a maybe?

Might get the odd one or two in the wrong section but nothing on a large scale. The days of Celtic bringing a vast support to ER, or anywhere else for that matter, unless it's a Championship decider, are a thing of the past.
Also don't think there is any way Hibs would give them access to home sections - just wouldn't happen IMO.

Realized I could have worded my original post more clearly, but obviously I'd hate for away fans to be anywhere except in the South, where they belong.

I'd just heard an alarming number of people talking about it as if it was a serious possibility. Thank God it's not!

**sambajustice** · 11-01-2011 07:16 AM

Was there not a game back in the day when we were playing the huns and we gave them the east? A midweek game we won 1-0 if I remember correctly??

They would if they paid enough money. Ask folk in the west last season.

IIRC was this not during the miners strike, 3 day week and power cuts in the very early seventies?

I was there in my shiny blue Leith Academy uniform (which I was surprised at the reaction to, I would have thought good Hibbies would have known Leefy, the local school, was a blue blazer job

). It was der hun, I just cant remember the score. Pretty sure though it was pre segregation as we know it. We didn't give it to them, they more or less took it. Also IIRC in early segregation times the away support were given to about the 18 yard line at the top of the slope?

Yes. But demand is not exceeding it by much more, so I doubt there is any need to give us a bigger allocation.

Until such times as these games are returned to 3pm on Saturday and not on TV, then the days of 10,000 Tims wanting to visit Easter Road are over.

I'll be there.

Tuesday 3rd May 1994.

I'm sure the Huns were in the east! It was nearly 17 years ago though so my memory might not be spot on!

In those days the south section of the old West stand was for away fans - you wouldn't be thinking of that would you?

We played Hibs late in 1995 at eater Road on a midwek afternoon as both end behind teh goal were flattened (it was a 1-1) draw and played in teh afternoon as your floodlights had been taken down.

We got about 800 to 1,000 tickets in the West. This is the game

Before the 'new' stands were built behind the goals, visiting fans, in addition to the Dunbar end, also got the old South stand and enclosure, which were part of the old main (West) stand.

Yeah I knew that, I was talking about the games when there was no Dunbar end and nothing behind either goal.

Out of interest, how many did the Dunbar end hold pre Hillsborough, when capacities were cut?

It was the last game in which we were allowed to stand. Classy Keith was the hitman to deny them lifting the flag at Easter Road.

And they werenae in the East.

Around 8,000, though that was already a reduced capacity from the 'bygone days of yore'

There will be 16-17k at this game, including 3-4k Celtic fans.

Tops.

12,000 Early 80's
was reduced to about 9,000 as it was like sardines in there and the blaize could not absorb the collective pish of 12,000...truly shamefull 'facilities

But it did have some atmoshpere when rammed

Complete rubbish.

They used to get one third of the old main stand (the South Stand).

***Bristolhibby*** · 11-01-2011 06:09 PM

Was the south upper section of the old West stand not given to away fans as an overflow.

Seem to remember the Jambos Being in there in an early 90's derby.
