Dundee Utd dot count

[NAE NOOKIE]

Hibs have stated 12,500 home seats sold so far and 600 away tickets. Cant be bothered to dot count myself, but this thread is now open to our resident experts :greengrin

I'm guessing due to the evil of television what would have been an 18,000 crowd will be 14,500 or thereabouts. At this stage with 13,000 sold overall I would expect nearer to 16,000, but I'm guessing a good number of ST holders might miss out due to the kick off time and Hibs ( unlike some other clubs ) don't count non attending ST holders.

[Sir David Gray]

Neither my mum or I will be there on Sunday so that's two season ticket holders who can't go.

[mutley]

Gutted I can't be there, doing my CBT this weekend, only time I could fit it in

Who are you doing it with?

I used the City School at Seafield for my CBT and A license, and they were superb.

Good luck - the CBT is a doddle, you'll pass no bother.

Yep , that's where I'm going. Managed to get a late cancellation. Hope to go on to direct access after that

To get back on topic, I see there is ab article doing the rounds stating there is a plan to start using the South Stand for home supporters if the crowds keep on increasing

[HibsNutter]

Did people on here not relentlessly used to go on about how Hearts did this?

Probably someone who loves Hibs more than you do who cancelled.

[hibee]

Gutted I can't make this one with both kids football teams having an 11am kick off our season tickets will be going unused.

Not sure if we'll be counted in the attendance since they've already got our money anyway?

[California-Hibs]

Reporting on a game on Saturday, should roll back through the door around 1am, Hibs game kicks off at 4am. Gonna be a long night! Hopefully we can pull another great crowd. Considering the time and it being on tv we've already sold a cracking amount!

[greenlex]

Naw. they just said and still do say its a sell out. Theyve never counted a dot in their lives.

We started counting season tickets who don't attend this season.

[hibbysam]

We started counting season tickets who don't attend this season.

No we haven't as the Dunfermline game was nearly a home sell out, there were upwards of 1300 away fans, and the attendance was only 16k due to the Famous Five having a lot of empty spaces. Tickets sold would have been upwards of 17-18k that day.

[Keith_M]

Well, my guess was an attendance of 12,500, so I think I'm disqualified from giving my views

:greengrin



I see they're considering opening half of the South Stand to Home Fans for future games (should the need arise)

[Lancs Harp]

Im sticking to my 13,600 from a previous thread.

I'll be watching this one from my sofa, sadly.

[scoopyboy]

We started counting season tickets who don't attend this season.

I had thought that was going to be the case this season as well but it isn't.

We only count those that attend on the day, I was told that by an employee travelling to Dumbarton.

[Phil MaGlass]

15,000, I reckon will turn up?

[Ozyhibby]

Lunchtime kick off will keep the crowd low. My lad is playing footy in Musselburgh in the morning so we will be late for kick off but how many other will just decide to watch at home rather than rushing about.

Nope. Crowds would've been reported as about 17k if we did.

[andrew70]

I'll be there but will need to be away before end of the match as team I help coach have a game in North Berwick later in the afternoon.

Not great but never mind. Lets get this wrapped up quickly Hibs.:greengrin

[KWJ]

Without meaning to sound too cheeky if any Hibees who will see theit STs go unused for this game feel like passing them on to this Hibee who can't justify the expense then I'd be most grateful.

Incidentally I have just picked up a new job with a great view of the stadium so I'll be a regular confirmed dot soon enough! And doing overtime on transfer deadline day to keep an eye on incomings!

No danger of making 18000 if games was not on tv... utd have a very poor travelling away support

[CallumLaidlaw]

No chance. Its clear from the dot counting and the crowd thats announced on a match day that non attending season ticket holders aren't counted. I wish we would. These folk have already paid for their tickets.

[Bishop Hibee]

I know a few ST holders who can't make it due to children's football matches. 13267.

[hfc rd]

If it was a Saturday 3pm, I'd have gone for 18K. However reckon with the Sunday lunchtime kick-off and the game being shown on SKY is going to see the attendance drop down to 14K.

[cabbageandribs1875]

bought tickets for this weeks ago and thought there would have been 17-17500 attendance...then a damn TV station steps in with a change of day and a stupid o'clock KO time to scupper that prediction :rolleyes: in two minds whether to go or not, weather forecast is for a nice sunny day so that might just sway an appearance



13,429 attendance me thinks

[hibsbollah]

I'll be arriving 20 mins late because of kids football. Pain in the proverbial. The last time this happened Zemmama scored against Rangers straight from the kick off *allegedly*, a goal I should never have missed :grr: hopefully an omen.

Its tough on the parents who can't make it because of kids football on the Sunday but it cuts both ways. Guys that play amateur football on a Saturday will now be able to make it along to  this game.

I've always attributed that game as the start of a long downfall for hibs. A downfall which hopefully ended, poetically, with an early stokes goal v rangers and marks the beginning of a long and fruitful upturn in fortunes.

No we don't, anything buthe's winding you up and waiting on you coming on. United have the best support we can expect, unless the Pars are on a roll. Falkirk, yes if close to the top in a crucial game. Q of South, I have been surprised at their away crowd a couple of times . in a midweek cup game not so long back they had a very impressive support at ER.

Another three empty seats as this kick-off time is no good for us at all. I thought that this would be the end of our funny scheduling to suit TV.

My nephew's laddie and his mate's laddie, all S.T. holders, will not be there either because the Stupid O'clock kick-off means they will not be able to make it due the boys playing football at 11.00am away across the other side of the city. Even at 35 minutes E/W it's hardly worth the effort to even try and make it for the 2nd half, especially as it's on telly :grr:

[Jones28]

Even if we had won against Ayr and QOTS I wouldn't have thought it would be any higher than 11k in attendance.

Looking like a 14k attendance to me.

As of last night 2200 home tickets to sell so assume by KO Sunday and going by last few games 48 hour run up on sales, I would expect that number to be down to 1000 with presales and walk ups. That a reasonabl and conservative guess.

Untited had sold 600 by Wednesday so you have to expect another 400 pre sales or walk ups for them. So let's say 1000.

That means 15000 home sales and 1000 away sales. Allowing for on average c750-1000 no shows and bump up even more due to Sunday factor and TV option then I would say max 1500 no shows so estimate total attendance 14500.

All based on some high level logic!

ST no-shows will be much higher than other games so I doubt it'll be much more than 13k but still decent considering.

Fans who can't make Saturday afternoon matches can now go - all levels out in the end or thereabouts anyway.

I'd say 14k plus will attend which is not bad. Put it this way when was the last time Dundee Utd had over 13000 home supporters at a league match (if they have ever had that)?!

Even there championship winning side would struggle to get that as an average

[Lancs Harp]

Its a pity our average is likely to take a bit of a hit this weekend. I think we are currently averaging just over 15,000. I'm 52 years old only once in my lifetime have we averaged more than that (1971/72) and only on three other seasons have we averaged above 14,000 in those years.

Yea, it's a real shame if there's a big drop but I hope those who can go will, rather than taking the option of watching on TV. This could turn out to be a very important game and I would hope folk would make the effort if they can. I certainly wouldn't miss this one.

[NAE NOOKIE]

A lot of green has turned yellow in the last 24 hours, looks like sales are going pretty well and with a full day and a half still to go for folk to buy on line or visit the ticket office and with walk ups on the day we could still be looking at a pretty healthy crowd.

If enough turn up to keep our average above 15,000 that'll do for me :greengrin

Hope you're correct.

United aren't doing too badly. Their fans have rallied behind them despite relegation. Their ST sales are decent, took 2000 to Dunfermline, and didn't have a Scottish Cup boost. However they are always, other factors being equal, going to lag behind Hibs, Aberdeen and Hearts in support.

This.

The United fans have stuck with their club in surprising numbers, especially considering how poor they have been in the last two seasons and in a town the size of Dundee where they weren't even the main club until the late 70s early 80s they haven't done that badly crowd wise.

I think some of the greens have turned to yellow because the club have printed these off to sell in the pods.

town the size of Dundee

Dundee is a city not a town - but I get the point. :greengrin

That said Hibs get their "traditional support" from the TOWN of Leith - so our support is awesome :not worth:flag:

With all due respect, when I have bought tickets from the shop just prior to a game they show you the same computer screen dot count to show you where you can purchase a ticket from.

They then issue you a ticket for the seat or seats you choose.

Maybe it has changed since I last bought a ticket from the shop as the last ticket I have bought is a season ticket.

It's not as simple as that though is it. Using your logic Brechin are a better supported club than both Hibs and Dundee Utd. Also Leith wasn't part of Edinburgh until pre-WW2 (sorry don't know exact dates :greengrin) so we could argue we only get our traditional support from the town of Leith

1000 or so due to the kick off time and TV, we'll see on Sunday

1700-2000+ on the original sat 3pm though

Last two visits to easter rd we had 2150 and 1900 midweek

Despite the worst eighteen months in half a century for United our numbers home and away have been excellent, much more than our city rivals manage despite this being relatively good times for them and anyone outwith the obvious 5 clubs

Morton on Saturday brought the least away of our 4 home league games, 250 tops, was also put lowest home turnout (5600) down 1000 from the Raith game, Queen's brought a few hundred as did Ayr, Raith had 815 in a total attendance of 7400 which is our most so far

Our lowest away support was Dumbarton so far due to the limited allocation

Pretty sure it has changed since you last bought a ticket on matchday.

The office print off tickets for the pods on Fridays and after a certain time on matchday (1pm I think) you can't get a ticket from the office and you must purchase from the pods.

They put portacabins at the back of the famous five stand and on the way up to the east a few years back to sell tickets when they scrapped the cash gates in these stands. These are the pods and the tickets they sell are pre printed on a friday leading to a big drop in the number of tickets available at that point (or at least it used to, having just read the post above... maybe not anymore :greengrin )

It's not as simple as that though is it. Using your logic Brechin are a better supported club than both Hibs and Dundee Utd. Also Leith wasn't part of Edinburgh until pre-WW2 (sorry don't know exact dates :greengrin) so we could argue we only get our traditional support from the town of Leith


I wasn't around pre-1920... unlike your good self :wink:

[Hibernia&Alba]

Should be a healthy gate for what is a big match. Hibs V Dundee United should always be a Premier League fixture. I'm looking forward to it.

[RoxburghHibs]

I wasn't around pre-1920... unlike your good self :wink:

Hey what you trying to say? Bad decade that saw us lose two cup finals 😉

[jgl07]

Dundee is less than a third of the size of Edinburgh, and both cities have two clubs, but our average attendance isn't three times that of United.
The last time I looked, Edinburgh had three League teams not to mention Spartans.

In any event the combined total attendance of Hibs, Hearts and City is around three times that of Dundee and United.

[Dashing Bob S]

Morton on Saturday brought the least away of our 4 home league games, 250 tops, was also put lowest home turnout (5600) down 1000 from the Raith game, Queen's brought a few hundred as did Ayr, Raith had 815 in a total attendance of 7400 which is our most so far

Our lowest away support was Dumbarton so far due to the limited allocation

Fair play. What is the official capacity of Tannadice, and what is the maximum of that total that is, or can be, allocated to away fans?

It's still listed as 14,208 but it's actually just under 14k now since seats replaced benches in the Jerry Kerr in 2009

You'll be given the shed and fair play initially which is 3500, after that you would maybe get one section of the Jerry Kerr which would be 3750ish absolute max

Wow I really thought Tannadice was bigger than that. Depending on kick off time and if it's on TV we might not fill 3750 seats but it won't be far off. That said the Hibs away support can be massive sometimes. I remember being at Tannadice for a Scottish Cup tie when we had over 8000 (in 1991?). Mind you we still lost the tie 1-0 from what I remember - I'm sure it was Darren Jackson who scored :rolleyes:.

It was Jackson that scored was at the game myself had to go behind goals shed packed 8k about right

Perhaps now, but this is a fairly recent occurrence (i.e. this season).

My point was that, considering their potential fan base, Dundee Utd's support is pretty decent. Certainly not deserving of the criticism some were giving.

[Keith_M]

It's not as simple as that though is it. Using your logic Brechin are a better supported club than both Hibs and Dundee Utd.


Brechin City: Population 7,000, Average Attendance 425

Equates to 6% of the population at home games

Hibs: Population (496,000 but 2 teams so..) 248,000, Average Attendance 15,000

Equates to 6% of the population at home games


So, we have about the same size of support as Brechin City this season, but last season they were better supported than us :wink:

Whilst it can be massive at times, it can also be fairly average.

I suspect all our gams against United this season will be moved for tv so we (and they) won't at any point take anything like the kind of away support that we/ they would to a 3pm Saturday game.

[RoxburghHibs]

Brechin City: Population 7,000, Average Attendance 425

Hibs: Population (496,000 but 2 teams so..) 248,000, Average Attendance 15,000

:not worth

[RoxburghHibs]

Leith population 30,000, average attendance 15000 = 50%

Much better :cb

[ronaldo7]

Have we?


you sure?


No we haven't as the Dunfermline game was nearly a home sell out, there were upwards of 1300 away fans, and the attendance was only 16k due to the Famous Five having a lot of empty spaces. Tickets sold would have been upwards of 17-18k that day.


I had thought that was going to be the case this season as well but it isn't.

We only count those that attend on the day, I was told that by an employee travelling to Dumbarton.


Nope. Crowds would've been reported as about 17k if we did.


No chance. Its clear from the dot counting and the crowd thats announced on a match day that non attending season ticket holders aren't counted. I wish we would. These folk have already paid for their tickets.

Only posting what I was told by the club guys. It seems Hibs fans are getting as fixated as the savilles on attendances.

After sitting in a lot of crowds below 10,000 last season and a lot far less than that in the past and now watching Hibs heading towards average crowds for the season not seen in over 50 years and in a league without the 3 biggest away supports in the country its hardly surprising that fans are excited and encouraged by that.

Unless you support a club who sell out practically every game like Man Utd or Dortmund then attendances are a good barometer of the health and direction of your club, of course fans are going to pay attention to them.

So that's under 1.5K left. Say 1.5 K ST no shows = 13,000 in home stands. 600 United = 13,600 plus walk ups, and additional United.

So on course for 14K which isn't too bad under the circumstances.

we had 1600 tickets left 24hrs before the Dunfermline game, so with around 1300 left for tomorrow we're on course for our best ticket sales this season. that may not translate into a bigger attendance though, for the reasons already discussed on this thread (lower turnout from s/t holders due to sunday lunchtime kick off).

I think Hibs should announce both figures, actual attendance and ticket sales.

I've got a funny feeling that if we did that, it might well be that the latter is higher than that of the Big Team's 'Attendance'. Now wouldn't that be funny :wink:

I'm actually gutted I'm not going to be there tomorrow.

The reason I'm not going to be there is because I'll be on a flight to Cyprus for a week's holiday when the game kicks off, so it's not all bad, but I would much rather be at Easter Road first and then be on the flight.

The Dunfermline match was in August when, I for one, and I suspect many other season ticket holders were on holiday. So it could be swings and roundabouts.

It all depends on how many tickets have already been printed out for the pods and taken off the planner.

Hibs do not have the benefit of Celtic, for example, filling the away end.

You're right big crowds don't win games.

However in my perfect wee world, big crowds mean big gate receipts which should lead to more money to buy better players who should enable us to win games.

So big crowds in my eyes are better than small crowds.

That has always been the case at Easter Road.

The question is, where would you put the missing 5,000. OK around 2,500 would go in the South Stand. But the rest? Probably most in the gaps left by non-attending season ticket holders.

I just wish that Hibs would quote the tickets sold rather than those in attendance. Most other clubs do this.

I can recall one Hibs match at the fag end of last season when the attendance figure quoted was way below the number of season ticket holders.
