ian1964 10,457 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 HIBS are set to perform a u-turn and increase the Old Firm's ticket allocation for Easter Road...just months after slashing it. Both ST Pats and Rangers were handed a reduced allocation for matches against the capital side and received less than 2,000 tickets in the South Stand. The Leith side were hoping more of their own supporters would buy tickets for the matches. It led to Rangers issuing a statement about Hibs' decision saying 'it beggars belief' and warning they would be 'considering ticketing arrangements for future matches – both home and away – against this particular club.' And ST Pat’s supporter liaison officer John Paul Taylor criticised Hibs' decision too on social media after the South Stand for half empty for their visit in December. Now Hibs have backed down and will hand over the full stand, which has a capacity of just less than 4,000, for their future home league games against ST Pats and Rangers. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3907210/hibs-tickets-celtic-rangers-u-turn/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1550747829 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,677 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hardly surprising. As soon as it became apparent they were going to be in a battle to make top 6 at best their following lost interest. And their crowds will be even lower after the split if they don’t make the top 6. if it were up to me we would take no one there. If their own fans won’t pay the bills don’t expect us to pay them after all the mindless bile they have directed at Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn 206 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 There’s no real appetite for a boycott other than from those who don’t go to away games anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,227 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I wonder how many tickets we will receive for the next old firm encounter at Parkhead probably as low as a hundred I would imagine . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
