From my point of view the Hibs fans help make it an occasion and the Derby is always a great atmosphere. The OF just bring all their guff and sectarian crap. I also like going to Easter road and don’t want to see it diluted like the OF game has been with so few away fans. Just my opinion but understand both views.

north wales jambo Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 In my opinion the majority of Hearts fans who are against Hibs allocation being cut are the ones who think they may not get a ticket for Easter Road.

For me, it's not about gaining an advantage, it's about prioritising our own fans. Rangers and Celtic should get exactly the same amount of tickets as Motherwell, Aberdeen and Dundee Utd. If we can sell most of the ground to Hearts supporters then we should give them the minimum possible, without being completely unreasonable. People will have differing views on the derby but I like it as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 See regarding the old firm fans cloning tickets ............................. if three of our stands are sold out with season tickets and the only match day tickets available are in the roseburn then surely it will be much much harder for them to buy a match day ticket in any part of the Hearts support other than the part of the roseburn that does not have Hearts season tickets in it ................................. who cares if they rip their own fellow fans off ? As some one above said we close the turn styles as soon as the number allocated to them is reached and if that means genuine celtic or rangers fans miss out then they can take it up with their pals that are cheating them ............................... if they buy match day tickets in the Hearts end then it will be a smallish section of the roseburn that does not have hearts season tickets in it and this will far easier to police and get them thrown out and banned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boag1874 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 9 hours ago, Bazzas right boot said: No way we should give hibs fans priority over Hearts fans wanting to watch us. Nothing petty at all about prioritising your own fans over others. Nothing at all. If we have the demand we should cut them back. Normally I'd agree but the full away contingent at both grounds is what makes the games as special as they are. Without the atmosphere it's just another big game, but it's always been more than that to us & the fixture should be treated as such. As long as they give us the full stand (shite home attendance or not) we should be doing the same back. Fans know the t&c's when they buy in that stand.

scott herbertson Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) If we gave Hibs L and M then we would have 2 and a half sections (1700) they'd keep half of K empty. Hibs would have 1400 So about 1700 Hearts fans would get tickets. If Hibs gave us 1400 tickets for the South stand at ER, (capacity 3943) 2543 Hearts fans would miss out on that game Maybe my maths is wrong but it looks to me as if cutting Hibs to 2 sections at Tynie means less hearts fans see the derby matches over a season, not more.
