wentworth jambo Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 8 minutes ago, scott herbertson said: 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. We can't control what Lochend might / might not do, all we can control is how we treat our fans at our home...it might mean an overall reduction in derby fans but surely there would be an addition of fans who would buy a season ticket if it included derbies than those who will buy a "Category B" ticket....we should be selling full season tickets to any Hearts fan that want them, then after sales are done, working out what can be offered to away fans (as long as we still provide the required minimum)....I'd hope in a few years, demand is such that we offer all away teams 1 section only maximum.

Marooned In Oz Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hibs should always get a full stand and likewise us at easter road.

JimmyCant Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Excluding Hearts fans prepared to commit to a season ticket, from the derby games is just the wrong policy. listen to yourselves. Lock out Hearts season ticket holders from the top game of the season, let Hibs fans have the seats, just because they may cut the ER allocation (which of course they won’t IMO) Its ridiculous when we’ve stated we’re trying to grow the support. Feck Hibs, Feck their fans, feck their stadium and feck their revenue Heres an opportunity to grow the ST numbers by 10% at least and we’ve blown it by diluting what’s on offer.

Not sure I agree with the decision or not to be honest but it could be viewed that Budge is looking after our away allocation at Easter road. That said I doubt hibs could afford to cut our allocation at the moment but things change very quickly in football. It’s shame some people just have to have a go at the club no matter what.

Someone earlier in the thread did a comparison on numbers who'd miss out at Fester Road against numbers of additional Hearts fans at home - surely more sense in the additional fans being at Tynecastle and ticket money coming to us rather than them ??
