For the upcoming Scottish Cup tie in Paisley there will be areas for fans of both clubs to sit together. Interesting move by the clubs. Hope it's a success......wonder if we'll get to do the same at the next Derby!

And not before time. This should be possible at every ground but sadly we keep promoting conflict instead of sport by telling people they need to be segregated. I always felt that we Edinburgh clubs missed an opportunity after the two Liverpool teams did it following Hillsborough. Every club in the country could and should IMHO have grasped that opportunity to take down the segregation barriers and give the occasion back to the supporters. Yes, including the ugly sisters. I have long felt that segregation promotes tribalism. No chance now I fear but with seated stadia it should not be beyond the game to achieve

When bams stop running on the park, throwing bottles/coins and setting off fireworks/flares we might have a case for the removal of segregation.

And we can't be trusted, FFS we can't even sit next to our own fans without fights/arguments taking place whether it be ER Dumbarton or Hampden.
I would say maybe a good idea if it was family's only, but Hampden showed that even mums & dads with there kids can't behave, there is a reason we are separated, because we can't be trusted to behave ourself's.

I go to rugby and we all stand together/sit.
People drink and stuff and never any trouble.

At Fulham you can go in this stand where they have away end at one end and rest of it is netruel and this was when in premiership.
I sat in netruel bit with a Newcastle fan.Cougars!!!

The majority could cope. The minority would spoil it. I know which group would get the headlines.

There are Hibs supporters I didn't want to sit next to at matches - let alone fans of other teams.
Derby days for me were always the same - meet up with a crew of mates for beer, hibees and Jambos, before the match the same again after. The losers always got it tight but it was always good craic whatever.Last edited by Peevemor; 10-12-2015 at 11:36 AM.

Prior to the Cup Final in 2012 there were concerns about thousands of rival fans travelling from Edinburgh to Glasgow for the day, but the atmosphere that morning was something special. Even non football fans remarked about it. On the train through, Hibs and Hearts fans shared carriages despite intentions to segregate trains, but everyone sat in their own company looking forward to the game, and without trouble. The day did somewhat turn sour after that on the pitch of course, but there was some evidence that day that we can be trusted to behave ourselves with other fans. I wouldn't like to sit in mixed stands as I like the tribalism and camaraderie of watching my team with like minded people, but have no problem, and enjoy mixing with fans of our opposition pre/post match.

Saying that, for the games against smaller teams who your lucky if they bring two tractors' worth i'd have no problem sticking them (together) in an empty section of any of the three home stands. You'd get no trouble and it save Hibs a load of money through closing a stand.

Just think it is good the St Mirren and Partick fans can keep each other company.

The examples cited in this thread in terms of Fulham, rugby league and additionally the Bundesliga all have away sections as well, be it self-segregated in a sense or full on fenced in stuff as is the case with the ultras in Germany, with the mixed sections elsewhere being families, older folk etc.
There is certainly scope for looking after both ends of the spectrum, and might even alleviate the odd issues you get with people complaining that their views are blocked by people standing up etc.
