Maybe a shite example but it's the best I can come up with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The Hibs and Motherwell play off games come to mind when thinking about how petty Scottish clubs are when it comes to Rangers Giving us a small allocation and the rest of the stadium is half empty. Can see Hearts doing the same thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see Hearts doing the same thing It'd be really fucking petty, and yet, I agree it's probably what they'll do. They have a chance to sell a shitload of tickets to us, which could in turn not only cover the rental fees for Murrayfield for those games, but also help go towards the over budget stand and/or go towards another players fee or wages for them. Especially when added to anything they accept for Walker. Seen a good amount of hearts fans elsewhere online already advocating giving us as many as we can sell to get money into the club. Some are worried about being outnumbered at a "home" game, and others don't seem to believe we'd take that much more than 5k ffs! Gimps Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's not going to happen but how funny would it be to see us take 50,000 away fans to Murrayfield. btw we took 25,000 away fans to the nou camp did we not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital Blu 615 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hearts will want every penny they can get from the game. They will have to pay and rental fee and their new stand is over budget. On a separate issue, the SFA's lease on Hampdump is due for renewal in 2020. It might work out as a rehearsal for moving the national stadium to the capital.

Gazzalivesforever 1,987 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The club should tell them we will only accept an increased ticket allocation if they stop fucking about with Jamie Walker. They'll be laughing at us if they offer us say 4000 tickets and we sell them all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,685 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'd imagine whatever allocation we get will be decided by the polis. Hearts need to pay off Cathro, their stand is 2m over budget and the cost of hiring Murrayfield as well. They'll want all the money they can get but the polis won't be keen on 20/30k of us heading through there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 So at least 3 homes games moved to Murrayfield and Partick have agreed to flip a fixture. I'm guessing that money is pretty tight for Hearts right now and the thought of 1000s of Bears at a game must be music to their ears. Hopefully they see sense and give us a big allocation. It would be a shame for the stadium to be half empty when it could be full and absolutely bouncing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kai_Johansen 978 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 They play St Johnstone and Aberdeen at Murryfield before they play Rangers, interested to see how many turn up for both those fixtures! Would suggest that the ticket allocation for Rangers will be split 50/50 with a capacity crowd almost guaranteed, it is after all “all about the Rangers”.
