BEARGER 1,830 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Record Sport understands the Jambos are slashing the number of travelling fans inside their Gorgie ground due to bumper season ticket sales and the demand from walk up punters for home tickets. It means 10 of the 11 clubs visiting the capital next season will be given just one section of the Roseburn stand for Premiership fixtures. A gentleman’s agreement with the Hibees means Hearts’ neighbours will be exempt from the new policy regarding away briefs. They will continue to get all 3,600 seats behind the goals, which ensures Hearts in return will still receive the entire South Stand at Easter Road when they travel across town on derby day. But the remaining top flight fan bases face a ticket scramble when taking on Steven Naismith’s side this season, Celtic and Rangers in particular 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,117 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Predictable and we really can't complain as we've been cutting away allocations for a while to accommodate our ST holders and home fans. Hearts are just doing the same. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bill 13,717 Posted July 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2023 If Hearts can sell the tickets to their own fans then no one can or should complain. Same goes for any club, including our own. Away fan can never be the priority. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker 887 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 For me, the surprising thing about that article is that Hearts have a "gentleman's agreement" with Hibs. Are there any gentlemen at Easter Road? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,050 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Excellent news maybe Scottish football is on the up for a change but I hope we don’t enter any gentlemen’s agreement with the hooped horrors. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,013 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Time for the Hearts to start punching their weight. Imagine finishing the league behind the Darvel Duffers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of the younger fans think Ibrox was always heaving yet not that long back we played regularly to 17000 crowds sometimes as low as12000 and that’s when we were collecting trebles for me the best atmosphere back then was at away games were our fans boosted crowds maybe some of the statisticians on here could look back at the crowds of say 77/78 season 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being one of 4500 souls watching us lose 3-4 at home to Dunfermline. Mind you, it was just days before Barcelona. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
