anybody else noticed both ourselves and Hearts seem to be playing at home at 3pm? Checked Hibs website, Hearts website, BBC and SPFL and they all say same thing.

It's so the Home and Away fans can be socially distanced. First Half at ER with 2nd Half beamed back on Ron's big screens. Twice the crowd, twice tge cash😉😁🤗

Some fans may have wanted to attend the Hibs match and watch Scotland and we will probably end up losing out attendance wise.

The polis could only say they do not have enough resources to police such "double events"
If you look back though,games at ER and tynie have been played on the same day.
Scottish and League Cup ties for example,with bigger crowds than the grounds can hold today.
Traditionally, the Scottish Cup 5th round, when the top teams would be in the draw,would fall on the last Saturday of January.
I remember one year in the sixties both drawn at home, and add to that Scotland at Murrayfield the same day.
So well over 100.000 total.Murrayfield held more then than now.
A lot less cars then too.
Shanks pony ,bus or train !
Polis coped.
But policing games are expensive now and clubs pay a whack of that.
That is one reason for the increase in significantly lower paid stewards at games over the years.
PS
Do hertz no have previous for bumping payments to the polis ?Last edited by Mick O'Rourke; 11-01-2022 at 12:14 PM.

My assumption was that another reason back then was the prospect of 4 teams fans kicking about Edinburgh was not ideal when the casuals were prominent.

For whatever reasons, PC Plod would not want to be policing 2 or 3 big sports events on the same day.
But not so long ago 150.000 plus people were on the streets of Edinburgh celebrating Cup win.
Also,in the past,Hogmanay parties in the town centre had as many.
The pavement dancers get too much police attention.
Let the numpties dance away.Last edited by Mick O'Rourke; 11-01-2022 at 01:52 PM.

You can only guess how many Dons, Sevco and Welsh fans descended on the City and attended those games.
Although,many of the Welsh would have been here all that week.
One Welshman from Port Talbot came up every time for many years and always watched the game in Mathers !
My Faither was pally with him. Be drunk all week !

In fact,no segregation in the ground then.
Maybe young team having a scuffle on Regent Road/London Road at the "away" buses would be about it.
When the orange hordes came to town,many parents would not let their youngsters go.
Sometimes,what is now known as Cat A games, would not have child prices or " Boys Gate" as it was called then.
You think having 3 or 4 thousand of them these days is bad.
Back then, 20.000 plus of them was not unknown,if they were top o' the league.

Aye..... They only go when they're winning !!
When Jock Stein was winning everything with Celtic ..Ibrox was a graveyard some games and away support not so big either .
Been at Ibrox and Celtic Park for games when attendance was lower than we get now.
Celtic before Stein and sevco before Souness/Murray.

Did we not play Middlesbrough at home on same day that Barcelona played Hearts at Murrayfield ? Been at home while Hearts were also at home in cup too a few times .
In Glasgow Celtic were at home in league the day we played Livi in LC final .
Going further back , in 1980 we played Celtic in SC semi at same time as Aberdeen played Rangers in other semi at Parkhead . About 50 000 at each match .
