There's a game on at Easter Road today

[Keith_M]

Hibs Season officially starts today, with a match against Montrose.


I just thought I should mention it, as everybody seems distracted by all the talk of will-they/won't-they signings, people tying scarves to goal posts and Hearts new Main Stand.










C'mon the Hi-Bees!

Attendance could be pretty poor today.

Agreed. I'm going, and I'm not particularly well off 😉

I am going as well and I am a disappointing fan as well.

[Iggy Pope]

Attendance was bloody awful. I wish some of the gladiators we've had on here past few weeks had shown. Even if it was just to beef up the Montrose numbers.
Wonder what we are expecting for the Partick game?

Poor attendance but tbf some people may still be away on holidays etc.

[High-On-Hibs]

Players deserved a better turn out IMO. 5200 is pretty poor for a cup match, even if the set up is a joke.

Partick will be completely different. Attendance will be 13-14k I think.

Not a great turnout today but against Montrose it wasnt unexpected.

[Pete]

Stuck in my hoose.

Anywhere you can listen to it?

Edit: doh, on the BBC.

Showing a lot of promise and great cover. A very good game today.

[SlickShoes]

Sure we had this thread last year lamenting the general attendances in this round of the cup

[Golden Bear]

Season ticket holder but a game in mid July holds no attraction for me whatsoever, regardless of the opposition.

Even if it was a cup game against Hearts?

I certainly would be attracted !!

What has July got to do with it?! It's the opening competitive game of the season, why would that not attract you? Had it been in August it would have..?

[Green Man]

Easter Road had the biggest attendance of today's LC games. There were more at Ayr v Killie last night, no doubt as it was a derby.

[Leith Green]

I honestly think 5k is a decent crowd for a league cup group section match during the Edinburgh trades holiday against a small club and in a game nobody is that bothered for. Some Hibs fans are nuts , some just seem to want to stick the boot into anything wether its their own support or the club itself ..

Agreed, some folk have lives that take them on holiday and with other things to do in July.

As they did last week but 9000 still managed to turn up for a friendly.

A testimonial not just a friendly, big difference being that probably attracted people who don't regularly go.

[Smartie]

I really couldn't be arsed last week but went out of respect to Lewis and ended up really enjoying it.

I couldn't really face it today but went along anyway as I was quite interested to see how we shaped up after last week.

I now can't wait until our next game.

I don't normally do friendlies, but I went for Lewy's sake.

I struggle to understand why almost twice as many fans were willing to pay £20 for a friendly, doubling as a testimonial, but wouldnt pay £13 for a proper, meaningful game. And I like Lewis.

Away and enjoy your holiday and life then and let the other missing thousands explain their absence. Are they all in the pool with you?

No, the swimming pool is not that big ;-)

Never gave it a thought to be honest, I saw it as a training game.

If it was a Europa qualifier against a decent team then I'd have gone.

Simple really, wouldn't have thought it needed explaining!

We continue in the League Cup though, you'll want a ticket for the semi at Tynie? Or the final?
