Has the reaction of the fans at the rangers game last season the reason that so many players have re-signed contracts with us ?
Gray mentioned it
Fyvie mentioned it
Stevenson mentioned it
And now Oxley as mentioned it
It just goes to show how much difference supporting the team makes. Thankfully we now have a squad which we can support 100%

That's a good point. Everyone at hibs was blown away by a) the random applause b) sunshine on leith. It felt like the fans were really bonding and letting everyone know we were proud of the efforts

Was he really referring to the Golf or the myriad of Blondes?

I think that reaction would definitely have had an impact at some level and to varying degrees with the players. Certainly, if someone was swithering it's something that they would have taken into consideration.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Just shows how important a positive support is. Wish we could bottle it and bring it out at every game. Make a better experience for everyone.
Hope the idiots that shout and bawl at players for making mistakes take note and zip it.

something similar happened at the 0-3 Celtic cup final game when the support burst in to life in spite of the result. It was good to see and hear.
I think after the Rangers game it was to show appreciation of at least a team we could be proud of, even if they didn't quite make it. The club seems far more professional, the football is no longer hoofball and people seem to care. That is creating a much better feel and making the games much more enjoyable. Hope the vocal support continues

As gutted as I was at the end of that game I applauded the team off the park, some people didn't agree with that.
It pains me hibs are in the championship but even if we were in the lowland league i'd still support hibs, it's not something you change depending on how good they are playing.

Its all about the tiny percentages the club were on about when Dempster and Stubbs came in.
I would imagine the main factors players look at is money, length of contract, facilities etc .... for people looking to make a living playing football that's how it should be. But after that there are other things that come into play, like how the fans are. What happened at the end of the play off match was unusual in that the applause started a few minutes before the end, a player would have to be made of stone not to have been moved by it and I'm sure the players are being genuine when they mention it.
Fans appreciate effort and recognise bad luck ... as far as I could see last season we had loads of the former and too much of the latter.

I think having players who want to be here rather than looking for a last pay day, plus they all seem to care about how they play and the fans themselves makes a huge difference, We are now seeing a team which we can support again, a proper team built properly with a certain way of playing in mind, rather than just buying random ex SPL players who couldn't give a hoot about us or the club.

The reality of both games, having been at the final and the game versus the hun bus for 90 minutes.
We gave our best in both games.
Even more so the game versus the huns.
I personally will always follow the club. And support effort, honesty and genuine attemps to win.
For that reason, I, and many others like me, stood and sung our baws off and meant every word. Thats not accepting or liking medicore results. It's (and it doesn't always happen) accepting we done all we could and whilst hard to take, you can do, no more in this life. Fitba, or otherwise.
That leads to the singsong, a lump in yer throat and if yer honest (even if ye drink blood,eat bricks and are stone radge hard as ****), possibly the need to stick on your sunglasses to save yer graces.
**** the huns and the tic. Thats what we were saying both times. But far more than that, we were saying, WE ARE HIBS.
Or I was anyways.
ENDOF.

Re the final against Celtic.
I remember it as a day where the majority of our fans stood up proud and sang our team through the last 5 minutes, despite the pain of yet another cup-final defeat and another year onto our Scottish Cup wait; while our opponents fans left quietly to beat the traffic after yet another trophy win.
Nobody was celebrating anything - other than being proud of being Hibees. It'll take more than relentless negativity amongst a minority, or a few posts on kickback suggesting we accept getting beat, to change that.
Keep the faith.

What do you want people to do after a defeat then and how do you go about not accepting defeat?
No sporting team or football club "accepts defeat" and statements like yours are simply helping to promote this myth that we are institutionally or fundamentally flawed. It's the sort of crap that hearts fans have been peddling recently.

I do agree that we done ourselves in those matches though.
