There is no way police should set the amount of fans allowed in a ground when it has a safety certificate for a capacity of 67,000. Their job is to analyse the risks and prepare accordingly, not set how many people can go about a lawful activity. They have way too much arbitrary, executive power in Scotland, and Britain in general. Hear Hear,just how they can limit the numbers is wrong on so many levels,the lazy bastards just want a easy shift if there is any bother it's their job to sort it out.

plumbGER 24,518 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hearts should just announce it's to be pay at the gate seeing as there is no need for tickets for such a big venue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 We'll get between 10-15k officially, heard from a pretty decent source. Nothing stopping bears taking tickets for elsewhere in the stadium that'll be empty though. I can see at least 10,000 bears in the capital that day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL153 No Surrender!!! 1,810 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I don't have season ticket as would be a waste of money as I work two out of three weekends over Saturday and Sundays. But this would appeal to me. And how the police can dictate how many fans go is ridiculous. The stadium holds 67 thousand so why should it not be sold out. The ground is safe isn't it. I think Rangers as in us, the fans would buy a fair amount. Only time realistically that we will play there. If they can get 50 thousand going down to Glasgow for say Sheep against the Junkies then they should be able to organise us for going up there. Run a few Saturday Specials Trains and get us in and out. And if we want to hang about and have a laugh and a drink then so be it. Edinburgh the Capital of Scotland the City that welcomes all until The Bg Bad Mad Proddies want to come for a few hours and it's time to shut up shop and board the windows up.??? Muppets!!!

How many extra policemen/women would have to be deployed and the extra financial costs involved. Police Scotland are cutting back on overtime and will take every opportunity to save any amount of money, however small that may be. Don't agree but that's how it is today.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It's a one off event or at least the first of a kind. Bears would flock to the capital which help Hearts and generates additional for small businesses (pubs) around the city. Police Scotland reflecting the wishes of their SNP masters once again. If they can handle 67K for Scotland vs Ireland / England / Wales rugby matches why not a football match? The idea has often been touted of a Cup Final at Murrayfield, what would plod do then, ridiculous? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we charge Hearts at Ibrox, they can't charge us more at their venue, likewise Dundee, Hamilton or celtic with the exception of any concessions and restricted views etc. Unless they've recently changed the rule.

harlands plater 16,975 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 What's the difference between 67,000 rugger toffs in the place and filling it with football fans? Was there a lower than capacity limit imposed when the tarriers played a couple of early season Euro games there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
