Which is nice.

Wise decision to have Hibs and Rangers fans sharing the south stand. I bet the police are delighted.

Well, if it works for Celtic...

Well, in comparison to the rest of Scottish football, obviously.

Celtic, though, at least have a recent history of buying folk in for relatively modest amounts and selling them on for a large profit. They look to at least have a buy low, sell high strategy in place. They have been doing so and will continue to do so when the likes of Rogic and Dembele who both joined them for modest amounts, leave them. I wouldn't say they just chuck cash at any old shite. At least for the most part.

The point stands though, that they win lots because they spend lots.

Haven't they been threatening to sink clubs since before they went under? 

I'm beginning to suspect this is all just threats that they can't follow through with. 

It truly is sensationally entertaining that you still get Rangers fans who think that by boycotting games, they can still somehow bring our entire game to its knees.

The last six years could have provided no better evidence that such a belief is completely unfounded pish.

RANGERS notes Hibernian’s decision to cut our supporters’ ticket allocation for the final match of the Scottish Premiership season at Easter Road on Saturday, May 13.

First and foremost Rangers hopes the safety of our fans, who will now be in only one section of the South Stand rather than filling it completely, will not be compromised by this decision, which beggars belief.

This is the least Rangers expects for supporters who have repeatedly proven themselves to be the most loyal in the country by selling out away ticketing allocations at opposition stadiums for years.

This was evident as we rose through the divisions when clubs the length and breadth of the country, including Hibernian, benefitted financially from the presence of our fans.

Rangers will of course bear in mind Hibernian’s decision when considering ticketing arrangements for future matches – both home and away – against this particular club.

This was also done back in 2015 when both teams were in the Jellytots League......Sevco had ca. 1500 tickets, stand segregated vertically.....no issues with crowd trouble.
QED.

Aside from the fact that fatty Traynor has spelt 'benefited' incorrectly, it's amazing that they honestly still believe in this 'Blue pound' shite and that clubs will die without it. 

No club in Scottish football has died since Rangers. The survival of ALL other clubs is conclusive proof that no-one was dependent on Rangers propping them up just like no-one is dependent on Sevco propping them up.

It's a cretinous stance to take.

Also done in 2010 when the East was getting rebuilt.

Traynor's seething too much to notice that the game's on a Sunday.

The last line of dat statement 

Hibs have completely ended Traynor.

[BucksburnDandy]

The best thing Derek McInnes did at Aberdeen was cut the Old Firm allocations from 4,000 to 2,000. Made the experience of going to the games a good deal better with half the number of their fans in the ground. It also brought in far more home fans than used to be the case before it to ensure they don't go back up to 4,000 again. Hopefully this is the start of a permanent arrangement for Hibs at Easter Road. If Granny Budge wasn't such a shitebag, Hearts could half the Roseburn no problem too, which I imagine most Hearts fans would like.

Bunch of amateurish, pathetic, babies. That statement is embarrassing and childish beyond belief. Surely even Rangers fans don't fall for that nonsense?

[PB 4.2]

 

So utterly unprofessional yet again from the zombies.   Getting dates wrong, chucking in spelling mistakes and utterly lobbing the toys out the pram.   Glorious.

Indeed. They currently give us 900 tickets. It is almost impossible to reduce that further, but Jabba doesn't understand this. It's because he's a fanny.

[AberdeenHibee]

Yet another moment in the Banter Years where I am so, so proud of my club for, again, making The Rangers look like utter morons.   It is utterly glorious.  As soon as I heard the news I knew the heads gone official club statement was inbound.  Keep up the good work Hibs.

I trust one of the Hibs boeys on this very site will take it upon themselves to absolutely melt one of the **** in the mouth with a Bovril cup of cold piss.  A small child, preferably.

[Menzel]

I hear that reducing The Rangers allocation leads to a decrease in magically levitating seats in Scottish stadiums.

While we're pish on the pitch, there's no doubting who the establishment club are. It's not Hibs.

That was before Hibs fans' "overexuberance" and Rangers fans "defending their players" at Hampden, though.
