Post-split fixtures - No second visit to Pittodrie

Despite the top six looking like it'll be the same this year as last, there will still end up being an imbalance of home/away games if we play the return games as scheduled. Aberdeen would end up with 20 home and 18 away and us the opposite. That'll mean we'll play them three times at home, shame given their home record and it being a good away day.

If only it were that simple. Unfortunately there'll be imbalances with all the other four teams too.

Where has this been announced?

That's complete guesswork, I'm afraid. Much more likely that we'll just be given Aberdeen away again.

Based on what? Complete guesswork?

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 19-03-2019 12:33 PM

we got the best fixtures we could get last season, i'm expecting us to be 18 Home-20 Away, we can't complain really

Yes.

To be honest it's more trying to think how the SPFL thinks, which is a terrible mindset to get into.

It's a lot cleaner than last year and can only work that way.

Before the split we have:

Celtic 17H/16A
Rangers 16H/17A
Aberdeen 17H/16A
Kilmarnock 16H/17A
Hearts 17H/16A
Hibs 16H/17A

'Due' fixtures:
Celtic:
Home: Kilmarnock, Hearts; Away: Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibs. Total 19H/19A

Rangers:
Home: Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs; Away: Kilmarnock, Hearts. Total 19H/19A

Aberdeen:
Home: Celtic, Hearts, Hibs; Away: Rangers, Kilmarnock. Total 20H/18A

Kilmarnock:
Home: Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibs; Away: Celtic, Hearts. Total 19H/19A

Hearts:
Home: Rangers, Kilmarnock; Away: Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs. Total 19H/19A

Hibs:
Home: Celtic, Hearts; Away: Rangers, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock. Total 18H/20A

The SPFL have said all along that their priority is giving teams the same number of home and away games. Looks pretty nailed on to me?

***JimBHibees*** · 19-03-2019 12:39 PM

Wee bit presumptious not in top 6 yet. Lose next game and very much up for grabs.

This of course first!

**Since452** · 19-03-2019 12:42 PM

This top 6 chat makes me uncomfortable. We aren't there yet

In the above scenario why can't we get Aberdeen at home and then every team will have 19H and 19A? It ain't rocket science (or is it?)

That's my point, hence the title of the thead

Ah, okay. Yup, that'll be it then.

The rocket science bit last season was based on who was competing for European places. This time round it could be all six teams (or hopefully everyone bar Hearts)

**Famous Fiver** · 19-03-2019 01:15 PM

Do we get a rebate from Season Ticket for the potential loss of two home games or is it just tough t*tty?

Really? Looking at the remaining fixtures of those around us vs ours I think we could even lose our next 3 and still be in the top 6. We've made it in my opinion.

Would you take money back off Hibs?

**Famous Fiver** · 19-03-2019 04:24 PM

Worst option = 18
Best option =20

Difference is 2.

Granted it should be an even split.

Season ticket is based on 19 home games. Would you be willing to pay more in the seasons that we get 20 home games?
I certainly wouldn’t. It’s swings and roundabouts. Some seasons you score by getting 20 and others you lose by getting only 18 home games

So if you got 20 home games would you give Hibs some money?

It's nominally 19 games, so you're potentially only losing out on one game.

Surely the assumption would be nineteen home games, so you can only lose one.

Twenty games would be one extra.

Catch 22.

**Famous Fiver** · 19-03-2019 04:52 PM

Quite happy to pay the extra for a 20th match if the club declare that is required.

Not happy that our Jambo chums may get 20 home matches when we only get 18.

I have happily paid the prices described by many on here as exorbitant for home cup ties. Fully in favour of having to pay the rate which the club set.

**Hibee Mac** · 19-03-2019 06:03 PM

Who out of that top 6 did the spfl predict would not be there? Daft if you ask me as that would have been everyone's guess at the start (although the order of the teams would most certainly not be)

It it looks like it would be Aberdeen that could get 20 home games, rather than the jambos
