How on earth do they double up? Those turnstiles are absolutely tiny!

 

I don't know if the School End turnstiles are different from the Wheatfield ones but if not, you can easily fit two people through. Source: me.

 

I once scanned my ticket and walked forward but for some reason it hadn't worked, however the guy behind me had immediately scanned his ticket too. I panicked and just pulled him through with me. 😄

 

Back on topic, Celtic and their fans can go and **** themselves, repeatedly and vociferously.

Tell you what, give us 10% of the stadium and we will give you 10% 

Or how about you keep your manky, IRA chanting, inbred, unwashed, imbecilic, self entitled, delusional, our stand robbing, bigoted ar5ehole support from our f###ing stadium 

 

And your troglodyte cousins from Govan too

Is he concerned about a few hundred away supporters safety stuck away in corner of 60.000 stadium at his club? Is he fcuk because they want everything their own way

Fair point.
What’s he worried about? Does he think that the absence of thousands of Buckfast-fuelled loudmouths will be detrimental to his team’s chances of success at Tynecastle?

Strange. I’d have thought he’d have had more confidence given the fact his club has significantly more resources than clubs like ours.

Then again, maybe he’s just an altruistic sort of chap who believes in “trickle-down” economics? 🤣

Can guarantee there wiill now be a discussion paper out to a vote for minimum away ticket availability - and due to the ridiculous voting system we have it will pass.

Impossible . If there are seats taken up by season ticket holders what are they going to do

The old school end turnstiles were always good for getting some adult to squeeze you through or, failing that , it was over school fence,up the wall then drop down into 2 inches of pish in the toilets. Happy days😁😁😁

They can not do anything . Even if Doncaster attempts to side with their supporters on this , I can not see them getting the numbers needed to carry it . How happy do you think the other clubs he patronisingly mentions are going to be reading that ? They cant do any thing

"Before it is too late to save some clubs"??? We don't need your money ya stupid twat. Hence why we're reducing your allocation. Please, please, please decline our paltry allocation. We don't want any of your horrible, scummy fans in our ground. 

 

Yours, 

 

Everyone at Heart of Midlothian football club.

Dear Joe,

 

Thanks for that tedious pile of bilge you sent.

 

I've done a wee bit of research and it would seem that the Heart of Midlothian Football Club and their supporters, the fine arseholes of Kickback, neither like you nor want you.

 

The coach companies don't rely financially on your twice-yearly trips to Gorgie.

 

In short: go /=uck yourself.

 

Kind regards.

 

Mr Doncaster

SPFL/Doncaster will never enforce percentages on clubs. I’m pretty sure clubs need to pay for the allocation given regardless if they sell out or not, could be wrong? Imagine a case where they say 5% for all away ground and Livi need to pay upfront for 5% of tickets at Celtic Park/Ibrox, so it’s either a blanket 5% or leave it as it is and let the clubs decide it at the start of the season.

Self entitled arseholes. 

 

They really think they should  be able to dictate to other clubs what they should do in their own grounds.

 

We should take away all their ticket allocation in acknowledgement of their safety concerns.

This is the simplest and most sensible solution to the only point in his letter that was actually relevant to the allocation of tickets for Celtic fans at Tynecastle.

 

If not all their tickets, let's at least keep Joe, or perhaps all the members of the CSA, safe from harm.

If Celtic fans are so desperate to get more tickets at Tynecastle, then all they have to do is fund the expansion of the stadium to 30,000 and we will give them an extra 100 tickets. Everyones happy.

Dear Neil,
I hope you’re well in these trying times for everyone. The reason for my email is the latest cut to the ticket allocation to Celtic Football Club by Heart of Midlothian Football Club. It is becoming increasingly frustrating for the Celtic Supporters who are trying to access tickets for away matches in Scotland, bearing in mind that Celtic have the biggest travelling support in Scotland, and maybe even in the UK, it makes no sense for some clubs who continually complain about lack of funds, to be denying tickets to visiting supporters when there are plenty of seats available within their stadium.

I know you have said in the past that you don’t want to interfere in how clubs allocate their tickets, but something has to be done, to use “A reasonable amount” as the yardstick is absolutely ludicrous, and has to change, before it has a serious impact on Scottish Football, and not in a positive way, but the exact opposite. The powers that be in Scotland need to convene an emergency meeting of the SPL as a matter of urgency, before it’s too late to save some clubs.

Just as UEFA impose supporter allocation on clubs participating In their tournaments, it’s high time for the SPFL to do the same. I don’t know of any Football Association in Europe that let the clubs decide such an important issue, and I include our nearest neighbours England in that. I believe in the English Premier League visiting clubs are allocated 3,000 tickets, or 10% if the stadium capacity is greater the 30,000, they also had a price cap for visiting supporters, but that’s an argument for a different day. Some people may think that stadia in England are all like Old Trafford or the Emirates, they’re not, for instance Fulham and Crystal Palace have capacity of around 25,000, Brentford has 17,000, Bournemouth has 11,000, and finally Luton {my favourite} has just over 10,000, hardly World Cup standard.

I think in Scotland it would be difficult to use a percentage of the capacity for allocation purposes, we don’t really have a big problem at Perth or Livingston, but we do have at, Ibrox. Kilmarnock, St Mirren, and the latest allocation from Hearts of 576, is absolutely scandalous. How do Supporters Clubs run coaches to matches when they might have one ticket? Will we see coach companies going into liquidation because the cancellation of football coaches, probably one trip to an away match would pay the drivers wages for the whole week. We were allocated over 7,000 tickets for Livingston, and there were still supporters outside trying to buy tickets, so Livingston and St Johnstone maximise the allocation to help themselves, while we have Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, and St Mirren giving small allocations while their stadium is far from full, financial suicide.

I would respectfully suggest a minimum allocation of 2,500 tickets for clubs who can sell the allocation to their own supporters, that would create a proper atmosphere, especially when the visitors were Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, and Hearts and Hibs. Aberdeen cut our allocation because seats were thrown at their supporters by visiting fans from another club, so why should Celtic Supporters be punished for the actions of other fans? Hearts have cut us continually over the last few seasons, we have went from a full stand, to 1,400, and now down to 576, are there no safety concerns for such a small number of visiting supporters? Celtic have been forced to decline tickets for Ibrox because the safety of our staff and supporters couldn’t be guaranteed, will we be forced to decline tickets from Hearts too? And the irony of it is, Hearts will give their most hated rivals Hibs, a full stand, which will be reciprocated. Are Celtic Football Club the only club in Scotland with a professional and successful Board of Directors? It certainly looks like it.
Kind regards,
Joe O’Rourke,
General Secretary,
Celtic Supporters Association.

That is one of the most mental things I've ever read in my life.

Absolutely. It is this entitlement that they have that I really despise. They've had it their own way for so long that they cannot comprehend a club standing up to them. I actually heard that when they won the league at Tynecastle one time they actually asked if they could play their own songs!!! That was shut down quickly. Absolute arrogant shower of *******s, just like their bigoted counterparts.

If there was an introduction of any sort of minimal tickets percentage for away fans they would be at a loss they’d need to give 10% to everyone too if that’s what they want elsewhere

No Idle Talk

It is a quite staggering lack of self awareness to cite concerns over the safety of the Celtic fans in that letter. Was it or was it not Celtic fans who came to Tynecastle during covid restrictions and tried to take - by force - tickets from Hearts fans for a match between the teams?

 

Yes. I believe it was. 

 

Of course the Hearts Da's did give the infiltrators a chasing soon afterwards. Perhaps this is what has Joe O'Rourke soiling himself. Who can tell. 

 

I honestly could not give a monkey's fart how unhappy their supporters are about this. Take your 500 tickets and come. Or give them back and don't come. No Hearts supporter is going to care either way. In fact we'd probably prefer it if none of you did turn up. We are not beholden to your money and we owe you and your obnoxious followers nothing.

**** me where do you even start with this shite? 😅

 

SPFL must intervene before Scottish football is severely impacted? 
 

Coach companies will go into liquidation?

 

Safety concerns? 
 

:rofl: 

 

They want a minimum 2,500 allocation rule brought in for certain clubs, but only if they clubs can actually sell that amount of tickets. So by locking out home fans to see if away fans will take tickets, is not exactly the same as us locking away fans out to give home fans the chance?

 

Thick ****s. :rofl:

Maybe the author should focus his efforts on resolution to safety concerns for attending Ibrox FIRST before bumping his gums about lack of tickets for Tynecastle. 
 

Priorities.

We should be telling Celtic they can stick their manky 500 supporters on 10 coaches, pay police escort from Glasgow so they ain't stopping anywhere on route, drop them outside the entrance at mcleod Street, full search and ticket check for each of them and pick them up there afterwards before booting them quickly out of Edinburgh. 

 

Should work for all concerned.
