    Are YOU going to start backing the club again in its time of need?

    Kudos to the support that pitched up yesterday, and it was great to be rewarded with a fantastic team performance full of invention, bottle and will-to-win.

    There are 5,000 or so good c!"£s that have decided to withdraw their support this season, and who could really blame them? However the past is in the past and we are now at the business end of what could turn out to be an excellent and memorable season.

    To those 5,000 good c!"£s - every game is now critical, and your support might just be the thing that gets us over the finishing line. Can we expect to see you guys return to the trenches for the battles ahead?

    Think we all know we will get decent turn out for the Semi Win that and I would expect our next home crowd to go back over 10 000 but it's clear we have lost part of our core support .The first home game in the play offs will tell us if we can get back up to 14 or 15 thousand for important games

    Thing I can't understand is the turnout we got in the dark days of Butcher...why so many then when we were good bets to lose every match? Why so little now when we've got a much better team (not final product yet but on the way) and chance of promotion and SC final? Hanlon and Fontaine has been the best CB partnership I can remember us having for years for example.

    Baffles me.

    I quite liked the support that attendedyesterday. As always it's the players performance that lifts the crowd and gives the place atmosphere. One end was a bit quiet though.

    Yep, I am one of those "good c!"£s" who used to have a season ticket and fell out of the habit.

    I feel a corner is being turned - even if we dont get promotion, so -

    Have been attending a few games this year, have tickets for the semi, and have already bought a a season ticket for next year - then persuaded my son and dad to get one too.

    Small steps, but thats 3 more bodies in the ground every home game next year.

    It's almost certainly not the case that fans "decided to withdraw their support this season" and I'm sure you could entice many of them back should you be good enough to provide them with the necessary finance.

    I think it is a bit of a stretch to argue that I am somehow central to the return of the 5,000 good c!"£s. We all have choices to make with our spare cash and I prioritise Hibs over other things for that spare cash. I guess the 5,000 good c!"£s will have to make a similar choice.

    Its the business end of the season and we are right in the thick of it. On saturday we are back at hampden in a bid to take ourselves to to another SC final and the fight for promotion is well and truly on. The boys need our support more than ever. Hopefully yesterdays results will shift a few more tickets for saturday.


    If you CAN go then DO go!

    At the end of it all, over the summer, some people made the decision enough is enough?

    The only way to get them back is to deliver days like yesterday on a consistent basis and prove to people that the club values winning games above all else. Only results can do this. All the PR in the world won't work unless we show a will to win at all costs that we have not previously done in my time supporting the club.

    What are the playoff dates? If we make the cup final could we not be looking at something like 7 games within a 2 weeks spell? I'm not sure my finances will stretch that far, especially if we make the final and I manage to get a ticket.

    Just mentioned this on the Crowd thread but if you swapped Rangers and Hearts in the League then Easter Road would have been packed out yesterday

    When Petrie goes, I'll be back. Not a second before. He drove me out.

    Good man. Remember to gather some proof of attendance and make a note of who we were playing as some smart alec is bound to ask

    Aye that's all very well but Petrie will still be there and we all know he's a crap keeper, the worst defender in the league, and he couldnae score in a brothel. And come to think of it he never heats the pies up properly at half time.

    Is it any wonder fans are staying away? Jeez!!
