Someone is telling porkies. Since when could the North not be split 🤔
I think it's the case that it can only be split right in the middle for some reason. It's always split like that for finals.

I'm sure that was the reason for Rangers getting the whole north in their initial allocation against us a couple of years back. There was the situation a few years back when we played Celtic (5-2 was it?) and they asked for more tickets but there would have been a block of Celtic fans in between 2 blocks of Hibs fans so it couldn't be done and a whole area was left empty when there was demand for tickets. Since then the whole North goes to whoever is getting the bigger initial allocation.

Tbh I don't mind allocations being cut for semi finals. The historical precedent is there that us, Hearts and Aberdeen just don't take great numbers. It shouldn't be used as justification to cut final allocations though as there is equal precedent that we can easily shift a 50/50 split for these.
