Hibs ban ultras group over pyro and 'unacceptable conduct'
Hibs have issued ultras group Block Seven with a one-game ban from Easter Road because of pyrotechnics use and "general unacceptable conduct". "The club will monitor the situation and reserves the right to utilise the further three-match sanction should there be any further unacceptable conduct incidents involving Block Seven during the suspended period," Hibs say.
Hibs have imposed a one-game ban on the ultras group Block Seven due to their use of pyrotechnics and unacceptable behavior. This means the group will be unable to attend Hibs' upcoming match against Kilmarnock on Tuesday. Additionally, a three-match ban is suspended for the rest of the season.
Hibs will continue to monitor the situation and may impose the additional three-match ban if there are further instances of unacceptable behavior from Block Seven during the suspension period. The club has discussed this decision with the Scottish Football League (SPFL) and has communicated with representatives from Block Seven, who have accepted the sanction.
Hibs acknowledges the passion and atmosphere provided by its supporters, and appreciates the strong backing the team receives. However, the club firmly states that the use of pyrotechnics is unacceptable, as it violates the club's ground regulations and unacceptable conduct policies. The club has a responsibility to take action when such incidents occur, and this decision was not made lightly.
