Gorgie_Rules Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) A lot of availability in the hibs end, both an indicator that their ST sales aren’t good, and that they may struggle to sell this one out, particularly if they don’t get a results on Saturday.

Kiwidoug Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Pardon my ignorance, but us this live on tv on any platform? If so, do Hearts cash in on this with hospitalty and opening the 1874 bar.

Normally I would agree, however for Ron Gordon, making as much money as possible is the bottom line. He will be baffled that supporters are segregated in Scotland.

Percival King Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Even if the all powerful police and the segregation issues circle could be squared, I'm sure that to give us more tickets Hibs would need to shift season ticket holders and that would, understandably, go down badly with their supporters (as it would with us if we gave a section of the Wheatfield to either of the ugly sisters). It would be a short sighted action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
