B1872 20,875 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Give them 650 for Ibrox as well then. With Hearts, sheep, St Mirren and Kilmarnock all reducing the old firms away allocation over the past year or so it’s time we look at league restructure. Clearly the “we want 4 old firm games at our stadium” line we’ve been hearing for years can’t be used now due to the away allocations being cut. Unfortunately with the likes of Doncaster running the SPFL up here we’ll not be seeing change any time soon. 👎🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that any team can't just piss about with the allocations as they see fit, including us, but also means that a team like Ross County can choose not to take the full allocation if they know they can't shift it. Edit: In the Premier League its a minimum 3000 for grounds over 30,000 and 10% below that. Away ticket pricing too should be capped like the PL as well.

Wearethepeople72 1,847 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I also see no reason why we can’t give the tarriers, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs the 2.6k we gave the likes of Ajax, Liverpool, Dortmund, etc. In return for the same at the piggery, the whole stand at Hearts and Hibs and the 4k or whatever it was we used to get at Aberdeen. Simply just need to reduce public sales for these games, all season ticket holders would be covered as we only have 45k, it works fine in Europe. Would make the atmosphere much better at both grounds and away fans can actually access tickets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the petulant waen shaggers done that. we need a set amount for a public sale for non season ticket holders as well so once again like the nappy rippers fuck selling to an away support so that some of our fans miss out.

I go to away games so it’s hardly like I’m speaking from a home perspective only All the other 3 who have cut our allocation I have seen plenty of empty seats at all grounds in games against us several times. So can’t really say it’s down to them wanting to accommodate their home fans. I even include Hearts in that, the May game before Seville half the Roseburn was basically empty, and there was empty seats the last time we played at Tynecastle midweek also. There still would be an amount available for public sale, 45k season ticket holders and say 3k away fans including segregation, that leaves us over 2k for public sale. I personally think away fans who are season ticket holders, mygers members etc should be prioritised more than the causal fan who goes to the odd game here and there and also for the good of the Scottish game. But as I say, there would still be tickets available to allow for this, aswell as tickets for games outwith these 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hearts hibs and Aberdeen would require large police cordons at the sides of the home support so it would take our attendance down. Bought and paid for tickets from home fans is almost nearly always sold out on the site, if it’s not wanting ex players back it’s wanting more away fans in the ground at the expense of our own supporters. the casual supporter can’t attend our games, they are mygers members non season ticket holders who are trying to build points it’s unfair on them to prioritise some hearts or hibs fan over them jintybear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen’s stance on away tickets is likely to be set for what their support gets in return at away grounds. An Aberdeen statement added: “Whilst we hope the changes above will help continue the upwards trajectory of our home attendances and drive-up revenues, it is also our intention to hold discussions with some of our SPFL Premiership colleagues about reciprocal allocations in hope of a fair and equitable number for our brilliant away supporters. The outcome of that will play one part in the away allocations we set at Pittodrie going forward.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck even hearts and hibs near on filled livi and Aberdeen couldn't fill the stand opposite livis main stand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
