What exactly did Hearts say?

What exactly did Hearts say?

Hearts have basically laughed the Old Filth out the door and will be selling tickets from Tynecastle. ?27 for an adult and around ?15 for a child for the Roseburn Stand if I mind right.

Did anyone find out if Celtic charged Man United for tickets for last nights game?

People can petition all they like but the bottom line is that clubs will continue to capitulate to this ludicrous levy until such time as the rules on how many tickets you are forced to allocate to your opponents is changed.

Right now, clubs must supply their opposition with a minimum number of tickets equivalent to 5% of their total ground capacity. They cannot unilaterally say that they are not getting any !!!

If clubs decided to sell OF tickets themselves to avoid the levy, the kicker is that the home club is then responsible for the behaviour of the away fans as they allocated the tickets to them. Most clubs baulk at this idea !!!!

If the 5% rule was changed, there might be a few more clubs who would stand up and say .... "5% levy, nahh, dont worry about it, we will sell the tickets to our own fans".
