nh1874 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Why are they allocating seats behind the goal when there are thousands of seats down the sides. I know some people like sitting behind the goal but do they realise they will be around 40 meters from the goal line in these seats allocated. Murryfield has one of the biggest dead ball area behind the goal. FFS WHO MADE THE DECISION TO PUT OUR SUPPORTORS THERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwing Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 What's that supposed to mean? Tynecastle ; waterlogged, compacted not fit for purpose substructure with a bit of new turf over the top that was already cutting up at the Dunfermline game. Murrayfield ; Million pound hybrid surface that can stand up to almost any amount of rain without falling to bits. If this kind of weather continues then we'll be back to playing on a swamp in a few months, especially with the new stand blocking out more light and cutting down on any drying breeze. Ah good, we've gone full circle and are back complaining about the pitch. Away shite in your hands and clap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts fans in here have shown they have seats in the East Stand upper. I've seen Hearts fans state East Stand and South Stand allocations. Nothing yet for North or West.

I was in the upper tier of the south stand for the Barca game and the view was good. I don't really fancy the view from the lower tier though which could be a bit like Hampden behind the goals.

Fair points for those travelling by buses. Many will also go by train and come in from the West through Roseburn. There's not really any police segregation before the game at Tynecastle, only afterwards, so Id expect we would be directed along Roseburn Street back toward Haymarket. Scratch that, we'll probably be shepherded along Corstorphine. Roseburn bar will likely be packed then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, both the Roseburn and Stratfords (where I usually go) have mixed home and away fans with no trouble. Owing to travel arrangements, we tend to get to Edinburgh approx 90 - 120 mins before kick off time (unless a lunchtime kick off). Plenty of time for a few refreshments I was looking forward to being the first away team to visit with the new stand, but that's not to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's hospitality in all the stands I'm pretty sure for our Euro games we used the West for hospitality, press etc. Sat in both stands and I can't remember us using the East for those purposes (although it has been a few years). I can't see us changing for a bunch of no marks like Aberdeen. You'll be in the North, and hopefully in the shittiest of all the views. Like it or lump it.

letsalldothebeattie Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Attendances? What do people reckon? 20K? 25K? For Aberdeen & Rangers games I don't see why we cant get anywhere from 30k to a sell out, we have 14k season ticket holders, plus general sales & walk up we could easy get our support up towards the 30k mark because lets be honest most cant have an excuse of not being able to get a ticket for Murrayfield plus I don't see the harm in giving Aberdeen & Rangers a massive allocation. I would rather we sold out than have about 40k empty seats. So if we have to give Rangers half the ground and Aberdeen similar if not slightly less then I would be happy with that. St Johnstone on the other hand we might be lucky to hit 20k, they don't have a big support let alone a big travelling support so are unlikely to command such a big allocation of tickets for the game and its not the most glamorous of games for us at Murrayfield. This will be the one game to let us down attendance wise out the 3 shifted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
