Footballfirst Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I thought I might as well start a thread for the next game. Based on the PT count, today's game had a around 15,900 STs, walkups and seats allocated for mascots etc. Away fans amounted to 593, which means that there were around another 500 split between hospitality customers, wheelchair/disabled/carers, and assorted hangers on. The gaps in the main stand suggest that ST sales to hospitality customers hasn't been a great success, although a Sunday k.o. and the indecision about the game may have been factors. There were over 200 empty seats in the central section alone (skyline lounge / private boxes), and significant gaps in the hospitality ares in P, Q and S. The Gorgie hospitality seats (422) appear not to have been marketed at all (unless they were used for the cash gate). The configuration of the seats looks to be the same for the Ross Co. game as it was for the PT match. I've amended the starting figures to remove the single line of seats adjacent to the gable ends of the Wheatfield (22 seats in each of A & G) as they too don't appear to have been marketed. Today's first count has 2580 seats available for sale (as at lunchtime today). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Celtic do get the whole Roseburn we cant complain if we don't sell out the Wheatfield and Gorgie stands at the likes of Ross County, Hamilton etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy the jambo Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I was in earlier today to try and get a seat swap for me & my mate for the main stand,I was told that they don’t have two seats next together & it’s only single seats,Pretty surprised seeing it’s Ross County? I’d guess 16,000 or 17,000 per home game for these category games will be okay. I’d like Hearts to confirm the seating allocation for Celtic,I’ve a feeling we’ll break that run they’re on,If we reduce the allocation,it’s pretty obvious that the away end can make the difference for the teams.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I would give Celtic the whole end, if I was feeling in a logical mood. My pathological hatred says no. But we do need the money. If we are paying off Levein at some point (not my idea btw) then we might as well do it using Manky money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roseburn selling out at an average of 20quid is around 70 grand. We'll lose the game anyway and just have to sook it up but at least that's some compensation.

August Landmesser Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 How many sections can we give away fans before we have to give them the whole thing? Does the segregation shutter close off two or three sections? We could probably fill three sides of the ground, and still sell a good few seats in the School End - and if we end up with a few gaps in the Roseburn, then I think it would still be worth it to keep Rantic fans noise to a minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyphoonJambo Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 If we get anywhere near 17k it will be a tremendous statement from the Hearts following that they believe in the long term plan. The atmosphere won't improve until the product we've are watching improves but the fact that people are still turning up in large numbers, remember who we are playing as well, is encouraging.

We would be inconvincing our own fans to cater for Celtic. Not really. Anyone who bought a ST in the School End was made well aware that their ticket didn't include hibs, celtic, rangers or aberdeen games - which would suggest they aren't bothered about any "inconvenience" that might be caused by not being guaranteed a seat (or seats) for these games.

If we gave the hooped demons two sections and only sold, say , two thirds of our Roseburn allocation, it's still putting home fans first, ahead of profit. Of course, the club may be down a few grand, but it's one game....see how it pans out. If the Roseburn is empty then, yes, give them the whole end next time but a bit of faith in our own support is required, in my view. Balance the books, aye, but piss off your own fans at your peril.

That's assuming Levein can even get us in the top 6!!
