Was there a lower than capacity limit imposed when the tarriers played a couple of early season Euro games there? The difference is we are scum football fans. Jeez know your place. And re celtic don't think so but the greatest fans in the world only sold 35,000 tickets for both games they played. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Don't the clubs have to pay the police for their attendance? I seem to recall clubs bitching about it, because the police decided themselves how many police clubs would be billed for. Some clubs were being billed for police that weren't there, allegedly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Didn't that other team from Glasgow not rent Murrayfield for a CL qualifier in 2014, when Glasgow was hosting the Commonwealth Games? I'm sure that the polis never limited the attendance then, as the whole point of them playing there, was to get as many punters in as possible.

They are punting that as a mini ST, which would be a way of getting around the price hike for us visiting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

left winger 14,156 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If they don't accept our current offer for Walker, tell them we'll take 1,200 tickets for Murrayfield - the same as we've been getting for Tynecastle. See how they like that - cunts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs pay for the police in the Stadium footprint but with perhaps 20,000 + arriving at the same time many more of them would have to be deployed at various points outwith the said footprint.

However, if they play hardball with us, then we are in a position to give it back big time. I think we'd all get over it pretty quickly if we had the same number of fans at Murrayfield, as we get at Tynecastle, but they would certainly miss our money.

Falcoholic 1,348 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Our day out in Embra is bound to be fucked up by a last minute switch to a 12.30 kick off..... No, wait!! Might be a wee bit busy in Edinburgh city centre around 3pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I have thought exactly the same since they started dictating when OF games should be moved to ridiculous 11:30 or 12:30 KO times. Seemed to recall it happening after the league win at parkhead in 1999 ,which kicked off at 5pm - wonder what set of fans was to blame for that drunken disgrace of a sideshow that day? They are there to police, not to make injunctions and paralegal manifestos, yet another example of the victimisation of football fans. Yet, nobody questions these decisions at all in football authority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

City_of_Blue 565 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Make no doubt about it, Hearts are gagging for cash. A small fortune spent on Euro trash players, sacking Cathro, papped out the cup and a several million pound over budget half arsed office block....they will be choking for the blue pound. Not looking likely we'll be offered any more than 10k though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
