Hibs handed 600 'extra' tickets for derby

Last updated : 19 December 2017 By Steve Forbes

Hibs have announced that they have been handed 600+ extra tickets for the up-coming Edinburgh Derby, with one big problem - the tickets are restricted view and are part of the normal Hibs allocation in Gorgie.

Despite Hearts spending £14m on a new stand, Hibs fans will be forced to accept not seeing part of the pitch at Tynecastle.

Sky Sports will be building a studio in front of the away fans in the Roseburn Stand. Despite it being at the other end of the ground for Hearts clash with Celtic.

Hibs tweeted this last night:

Hearts new stand has been plagued with problems, including a leaking roof, turnstile failures, floodlight failure and power outages.

They now have another one.......

The game will be played on Wednesday 27th December 2017.
