Derby attendance

[Hibernia&Alba]

How many do you think will be at the game? The infamous will be celebrating, so we need a big home crowd to make plenty of noise. A win would a huge boost as the play offs approach.

[Sir David Gray]

14-15000.

[Judas Iscariot]

Less than 16k

[7062]

Don't care. Just want to beat them.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

14k

[NAE NOOKIE]

The way our 'support' is just now half of them wouldn't turn out if you sent a car to pick them up and put individual complimentary mints on their seats. 10,000 Hibbies max.

Agreed - while it was great beating them when we sold out Easter Road last season (biggest Edinburgh based Derby crowd in recent times - a crowd the current Tynecaslte can't match anytime soon). A win is a win - and I don't care how many we have turn up. Those Hibs fans who will turn up will be up for it no doubt.

We deserved more from the last 2 derbies but we will have to play better than our last 2 home games v QOS and Sevco.

Sunday is important but guaureented the support will turn out in numbers for the semi final and play off games which are more arguebly more important as they are make or break.

[Diclonius]

Missing my first derby in over 3 years as I'm on holiday and stupidly forgot to check dates. I wish the team all the best.

[monktonharp]

A big crowd would be a bonus ,and give our side a lift but I side with Judas, on this. Queens result last night, makes it even more important to us .

And thats the way to entice them back. I really don't know how hard it is for some folk to get, that a lot of those people who don't go anymore have just had enough of watching drivel.

And mocking them really makes me laugh, and the normal one is watch them moan if the can't get a ticket for any cup final we may get to.

How many folk are we really talking about here, when our average crowd is under 10k and we will get at least twice that and more for a final?

Build it and they will come, they didn't, instead the people in charge put managers in charge of the club that did the opposite, they emptied the new bigger stadium.

People also don't need an excuse for not going to the games.

13,500 max

Sales look very poor on the spotty dotty.

We are in the mix and if we were offered this at the start of the season, would we have taken it?

I'm certainly not going to praise them, that's for sure.

Nope, especially when drastic changes have been made to try to turn the Club around and this is starting to show the first shoots of success.


I've backed people's right to not attend on many occasions but, given the changes at the club, the style of football the team is trying to play and how much the Club needs their support, the reasons for not going have become more than a bit tiresome.

Insert reason / excuse / whatever, here: The The Rangers game sickened me. Yet again, when it really mattered, when we had the chance to go 9 points clear of them and cement 2nd spot, we once again never turned up, crapped it or whatever, and all for the princely sum of £28. Absolutely sick of constantly getting my hopes built up that we have a decent side here, only to constantly be booted in the gonads.
Different manager, different players, same let downs.

That would be so disappointing. Hopefully 15K minimum. Yes, it's expensive and the game is on TV; and yes, it's the Championship, but it's still derby day, and we have the play offs and a semi final to look forward to.

[Bobby's Cinema]

sub 15k

If you are right, I'm going to be embarrassed!! I can't think of a derby in my life where we have not taken 9000 fans to a home game, one which is so important aswell.

It really will show how far we have fallen and how far behind the **** we are.

I think 14500 (which incidentally will still be poor)

[Real Emerald]

Another problem on Sunday is them coming for a party and don't really care if they lose. A lot of folk don't want to see it. The importance of the game for us should over ride this but I think a lot will just stay away sadly.

A few years ago under Yogi I recall a home game against Hearts when we were chasing Europe we had a piss poor home support.

Went one up with a Stokes pen before they got two late goals.

The very fellow, the West and North were nowhere near full which meant a home support of less than 10,400.

I'm not going. I will be arriving in Palma before the game kicks off. Hope that's not too tiresome for you.

To be fair I don't think he was hitting at this type of non-attendance.

More the I don't like Sundays, I don't like early kick offs, I don't like the price and the newest one of I don't like to see them party cos it upsets me.

Work, family, holidays, no money, etc will never receive condemnation from me.

[Bishop Hibee]

14K. Money is tight for many fans and if it is a choice between the semi and this game the semi will win every time.

Yeah, 12-13,000 is probably a bit low. However, I can't see it being anything but a poor attendance in the Hibs end.

Our crowds recently have actually been steadily decreasing, which TBH, surprises me. We've been on a poor run of late and you can add to that the fact that they'll be whooping it up in their end about having won the league.

Even if we sold a reasonable number of tickets, it seems like lots of ST holders just can't be bothered attending. For instance, the front of the FF always looks dire, it's so empty.

I think you missed the point of my post. If you're on holiday, you're on holiday, no biggie.

Not that you need my permission

Sunday is not really an early kick off. 2.15pm is a decent enough time for once for a derby.
