This will cost the celtic, Rangers and Motherwell £62,500 in each." *************************** Don't particularly care about the bheasts losing out on additional tickets but if the article is true then the junkies should be forced to pay each of the clubs any money they're losing out on. If they can't sell and don't return them in good time, we shouldn't lose out as a result of their support failing to follow their team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 That's what happens when they aren't playing Rangers and not so many beggars want to support their fenian cousins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negri's lovechild 14,608 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Tom Irish on the BBC saying hibs should explain themselves. They should,but they won't. Ridiculous that they wouldn't have had an idea they weren't go into sell the extra tickets? They should have been returned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Heart and Hand 8,951 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 they're that shit they can't even get enough glory hunters to fill half a stadium When you consider the size of Club hibs are to others in Scotland then it becomes clear that they really are the shittest club in the country, shit fans shit stadium shit team shit club No mark junkie scum Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy1984 6,314 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Something needs done about shite clubs like hibs taking half a stadium allocation then not selling them. Maybe clubs should receive the same amount in finals that they sell in semi finals. Would possibly encourage more of them to buy tickets for semis. Guarantee they'd have sold out if they were playing us today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 54,366 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 If clubs ask for tickets they should be obliged as a club to pay for them unless returned by agreed deadlines. Fine them 62.5k x 3 and compensate clubs losing what should be guaranteed income. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
With Heart and Hand 8,951 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 if they get thru to the final theyll probably be offered the same amount of tickets as well it's ridiculous that we have an average attendance of over 40k and are offered the same tickets as a Club who couldn't fill a phone box Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copland bear 7,966 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hibernian football club should pay for any unsold tickets not returned. . Why should we as a business suffer from their failure to return the tickets Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanjo 26,408 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Same old story from them. An absolute irrelivence to everyone except Hearts. Scottish football would not, did not miss them when they got relegated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Why should we suffer, surely it should be 50/50 split between the two sides playing, and not all 4 sides. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basrah Bear 2,981 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 slightly off thread but who gave the go ahead to play that taig anthem walk on after the game today. Hampden is supposed to be a neutral venue but it came on straight after the final whistle. Maybe get simply the best tomorrow? Doubt it.

SIRB_72 4,086 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 This happens all the time with the allocation. If hibs won today they would no doubt have been given half the stadium which would completely sell out whether it was us or motherwell. Whenever its us or the tims against a smaller club (including finals) at hampden should get max 25% depending on their attendance. No club outside ourselfs and them average over 15,000 apart from hearts and maybe hibs. So why should they get 25,000 for cup finals when we average 50,000? The fact the other 3 clubs have to fork out is pish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,288 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Do they not keep telling us they are a big club Bottom line is if they ever get back to Hampden this should be reflected in their allocation Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangecountry 148 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Semi finals are notoriously shit sellers in previous years. Hibs should've handed the tickets back to SFA but thst would've only gave the taigs more tickets. Are we honestly that worked up about the loss of 62.2k? Honestly? Or is it just a reason for mock outrage? £62,200. Jesus Christ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
