Hibernian Suspend Block Seven Supporters for Three Fixtures After Dundee United Clash
Club imposes three‑match ban on Block Seven following disorder
Hibernian Football Club has taken disciplinary action against its Block Seven supporters' group, barring the faction from attending the next three home matches. The decision follows visual evidence of a number of visiting fans engaging in confrontations with police officers and stewards during the Scottish Premiership fixture at Dundee United on Saturday.
What prompted the sanction
Photographs released after the game showed a segment of the travelling crowd involved in physical altercations with law‑enforcement personnel and stadium staff. The incidents occurred outside the stadium and within the fan zones, prompting concerns over safety and the club’s reputation.
Club response
In a statement released shortly after the images emerged, Hibernian confirmed that the Block Seven group would be excluded from the next three matches at Easter Road. The club stressed that the measure is intended to send a clear message that violent behaviour will not be tolerated and that supporter conduct must align with the standards expected by the club and the Scottish football authorities.
- Ban applies to the next three home fixtures.
- Block Seven members will be denied entry to the stadium and associated hospitality areas.
- The club will work with police and stewards to monitor future behaviour.
Implications for upcoming games
The suspension means that Block Seven supporters will miss Hibernian’s upcoming fixtures, which include matches against key league opponents. The club has urged all fans to respect the ban and to cooperate with security personnel to ensure a safe environment for everyone attending future games.
Hibernian reiterated its commitment to fostering a family‑friendly atmosphere and indicated that further action could be taken if similar incidents arise.
