"The games are usually played to a sell-out crowd, with Hearts averaging a slightly larger number of supporters in these games."
This could be better written. Seems to imply that Hearts always have more fans at derby games which is utter b/s.
- I have tried to re-write this, reflecting the fact that Tynecastle generally had a higher capacity for most of the last 20 years. This is no longer the case, as Easter Road now has a slightly higher capacity. It could also be argued that Hearts' higher attendance in the games was also partly due to Hearts fans "boycotting" Easter Road in some games 5-6 years ago due to high ticket prices. 212.113.23.124 12:54, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

- On reflection, perhaps it is better without reference to attendance in the article? There isn't a reference to this in the Old Firm page, so I don't see why it is necessary here. The original entry smells of one-upmanship, rather than adding to knowledge. 212.113.23.124 11:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
