Looking forward to going as it's a venue I've never been and people say it's a great stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby pitches are longer than football ones, so the stands behind the goals have a Hampdenesque view of the pitch. Take your opera glasses if you are in the rear stand behind the goal.

Hopefully not low down behind the goals then as I know what that's like at hampden. I thought going by tv that murrayfield was a bit closer!

I know which is why I said .. show Scottish football up etc. (Paraphrasing loyal) ... Scottish football is nothing without us. IF they gave us 50K seats, we'd fill it. No other club in the world has our support. None. So.. a huge match.. Hearts vs The Rangers and the stadium is half empty? wtf? Surely Football is a business... why not sell as many tickets as possible... and the media not showing empty seats are complicit. That's why I posted what I did. It will take someone with real balls to show the truth. Like you say though.. they will focus on how 'full' it is..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 With the game being live on TV it would have better if Hearts had priced the game to get a 67,000 sell out. Raise the profile of both clubs and Scottish football in general. As it stands the ground will be half empty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with price, a Rangers-Hearts game in Edinburgh isn't selling out a 67k seater stadium even if tickets were a tenner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,470 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hearts’ upcoming home fixtures at BT Murrayfield are fast approaching, with a sizeable Jambos support once again on the cards. Over 17,000 Hearts fans watched the men in maroon go agonisingly close to winning all three points against Aberdeen last month in what was the club’s biggest home league crowd in over 20 years. St Johnstone and Rangers visit BT Murrayfield in the space of a week this month and numbers for both games continue to swell. Around 15,500 home end tickets have been purchased so far for the visit of the Perth Saints on October 21st. With the news that Rangers have sold out their allocation of 14,100, an electric atmosphere can be expected on October 28th, as over 16,000 Jambos have snapped up briefs to date. Fans continue to back the club in spectacular fashion, and they can be the 12th man in both games by making BT Murrayfield a sea of maroon and give the first team a true home advantage. Tickets for both fixtures are on sale now via the club’s three sales channels: online at Hearts eTickets, over the phone by calling 0333 043 1874, option 1 then 1 or in person at the Hearts Ticket Office in the Wheatfield Stand Undercroft. Please note that supporters wishing to buy tickets for the Rangers game must have a previous buying history with the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabawsa 888 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 They could give us another 6K and we would sell no problem. Just a bit embarrasing being outnumbered on your own patch, I guess!i Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't 'having baws' it's being idiotic as fuck, they're trying to promote the game as being good to get more viewers, why would they put it down?
