BY ALAN TEMPLE – @CCP_Sport

Edinburgh City are hoping to drum up support from their capital neighbours after announcing that Hearts and Hibs season ticket holders will be admitted to their home games for half-price.

The Citizens are preparing for their maiden SPFL campaign after becoming the first side to ever win promotion through the pyramid playoff last term.

Forfar Athletic are the visitors for the League 2 curtain-raiser this weekend, with City hoping for a bumper crowd for the historic clash.

Allied with their hardcore fan-base, City hope to entice Hibees – with Easter Road just one mile away – and Jambos to Meadowbank this season when their own sides are not in action simultaneously.

Fans will be allowed into City fixtures for a concession price of £6 when they show their Hearts or Hibs season tickets at the gate.
