As it says in the title.
East Lothian Hibs have been put in the crazy position with this mental points limit in that we don't know if we can run a bus on Wednesday because we cant take names because nobody knows if they are getting tickets.
The only games we haven't ran buses to were the two Dumbarton away games and filled the bus on each of the three occasions we have been at Ibrox.
Thing is I don't think anyone at Hibs is even in the remotely bit interested in our plight.

Doh, just noticed IFONLY and Baldy Foghorn have put buses on.
Quick question to you guys, how do you know how many of your guys will get tickets and do you have a plan B if not enough of guys who have booked seats get them?

Complete and utter shambles, presided over by our fans reps. If I find out certain folk have been 'looked after' I will be raging.

Not sure why the points thing is being made an issue. In normal circumstances there would also be every season ticket holder able to go for these. Originally Posted by Brooster

Eh, I think you guys have brought it up in this thread as an issue and you've brought the fans reps into it. Originally Posted by Brooster

At least if everyone was eligible then a rep from the bus branch could go down with all the client ref numbers and get a block booking of tickets, so yes the points system has caused problems for bus convenors.

I think the big difference is that this isn't your normal league game where 900 seats are normally ample. This is almost like a cup tie and the interest will be much more appealing. Originally Posted by Andy74

Haven't been myself so not even attempting to get one. Pity Dumbarton never got in the play-offs.

Yep but this thread is blaming the points system and the fans reps for the problem, not the allocation and the stature of the game. Originally Posted by iwasthere1972

So why another one that you've added to if you don't want it discussed? Originally Posted by Brooster

With being an out of town bus I'm not so sure we could take that gamble.

Well doesn't bother me because I'm not going either. It's a tricky one. Maybe you should advertise your coach as only being available to fans who have 320 points. Originally Posted by Baldy Foghorn

Big difference to me Andy is that we have filled three buses to the fixtures at Ibrox this season. Originally Posted by Andy74

We are now faced with the situation that we can't book a bus because we don't know how many of our members will get tickets. Similarly guys can't guarantee they will go as they may not get tickets.
A lot of our members have not missed a game this season but now may have to, do you think that is fair?
If a realistic points level had been set then the people that I am concerned about would be guaranteed a ticket.

Yes me too. My post was me trying to be humorous. As you previously said, you'll fill your coach anyway. Originally Posted by Baldy Foghorn

Hopefully a happy journey back to Edinburgh.
