MR INCREDIBLE Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I know that no Celtic fan’s were allowed to attend the Old firm game at Ibrox but unless I am mistaken it did not look like there was any Well fans there on Sunday either. I would love Hearts to take this opportunity and give no tickets to Rangers the next time they visit Tynecastle. I don’t think it would affect the attendance to much as a lot of fans who might normally keep away from this fixture would then attend.

Selkirkhmfc1874 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 If they don't give us any tickets then we gotta do same when they visit tynecastle, it's time clubs stood upto them in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) We will be getting no tickets for Ibrox at all. It is disappointing by Rangers, it is the sort of approach I'd have expected from the team on the other side of Glasgow. I've already contacted an FoH board member to ask if the FoH would be willing to ask the FoH contributors if they/we would all be willing to make an additional one off payment to the Foundation which would cover the cost of potential lost income from Rangers fans. On passing that money to HMFC we can then write to Rangers and tell them that no tickets will be sold to Rangers fans for the game in December. Additionally we could then open up the Roseburn stand to HMFC fans and bring in even more money which would go directly to HMFC. Give them exactly what they are willing to give us ticket wise, feck all. The OF need to realise we don't depend on their income to help us survive as a club. If the club were even to consider in future years putting the price of a ST up a small amount to offset any potential losses I'd be up for that. We could then tell the OF fans that for league games they will never be back inside Tynecastle.

Boab Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 We gave the sheep two sections for the first home SPL in over two years. I think it’s fanciful to think the club will give them nothing for the game in December. Not what a lot of people will want to hear but they’ll get at least that for our game against them.

Absolutely. I don't know if we will sell out with our own fans but I reckon there would be a good number who wouldn't normally go would go if there were no Rangers fans .

Ccjambo1874 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) As much as I agree with giving them 0 tickets, it still amazes me we would even give them more than a reciprocated 900 briefs in the first place. The difference it makes during a game is staggering. If celtic had, had any where near their usual full stand in for our opening game. I have no doubt they'd have been singing away after they equalised and 9 times out of 10 at tynecastle it buoys them on to victory. All well and good in hindsight but I'd imagine we may not have won 2-1 if their had been away fans. Regardless... I'd much rather take the hit on any potential income from the green or blue pound if it enhanced our chances of beating them. 0 tickets this time but in the future we should reciprocate a maximum allocation of whatever we get. **** the OF.

What's a fiftieth and sixtieth of our capacity ? 😊 I agree with you. I think we normally get around 900 tickets for Ibrox. That’s 1.8% of the Ibrox capacity. The equivalent at Tynie would be 360 tickets, however, for security I’d imagine the minimum we could give them would be 1 section which would be around 700 I think. I fully expect them to get the whole Roseburn though, any reduction will be a pleasant surprise. We need to start getting a successful team on the park and get ST sales up to 16/17k then I’m sure the club would reduce the away allocations.

Yes, sell only to home fans if that’s what the club decide but let walk ups fill the seats. You are perfectly entitled to disagree and I have absolutely no problems with that. Personally I have no problems if for one match I have to cut back on my match day spending and instead make a one off payment to FoH of around £20-£25, which in turn woul help make sure HMFC do not lose out on the day. If others are struggling financially I fully understand that. I'd also like to see us then open up the Roseburn to walk up HMFC fans to make even more money. I'm reading things about Rangers doing this as they have to relocate fans who would normally sit in their red zone. I checked the capacity of Ibrox and the crowd at Ibrox yesterday, when Motherwell were given no tickets. We have a red zone at Tynecastle and I believe it involves relocating around 800/900 fans for home games. The attendance at Ibrox yesterday was around 6,000 below capacity and I doubt for one second the red zone at Ibrox seats 6,000 people. They have made a stupid decision and we now have to make sure we don't simply roll over to the OF, when they need to be told to get tae feck then we need to do so.
