800 fans? Utter pish. 

 

800 fans is what every team gets. Due to financial issues which are pretty well known we had to prioritise season ticket sales.

That is way less than the 5% your supposed to give though? You can't call a team entitled then refuse to follow the rules everyone else is supposed to.

There's a 5% capacity rule for uefa games, 20% for Scottish cup games but I can't find anything about 5% for league games. 

 

The SPFL rulebook does not contain any minimum provision of away tickets that must be offered by home clubs to visiting supporters, stating only that 'a reasonable number' of away fans should be accommodated.

As much as I can get on board with Zero being a reasonable number of either set of bigots, iv said before and will say again, it should absolutely never have been within the gift of either club to reduce allocation to zero. The SPFL should be changing the rules immediately and both clubs should be told that the cost of ensuring security will be met by themselves until such times as they can get their own house in such order that no number of away fans are inherently at risk by attending. 

Football is supposed to be a sport for fans. Shite like this makes it clear that fans are secondary and it's frankly pathetic from both clubs, and also from their fanbases that there's even a safety issue to discuss.
