    There's a game on at Easter Road today

    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 😉

    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?

    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.

    Probably many more Hibs fans that go week in and out are actually away on holiday as attended today's game. The problem is playing football in the middle of July and expecting half decent crowds.

    If it was as an attractive fixture there would be no problem. What was the Brondby attendance last year?

    It was a poor crowd, but in all honesty it was never going to be anything else ... even the 4 who go to practically every home game with me decided the expense was a bit of a stretch having just been on holiday and lets face it Montrose in a League cup section match is hardly the biggest draw.

    I don't think its anything to worry about to be honest and I'm sure when the league kicks off things will return to normal

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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..?

    It's pretty much a year to the day that we played Brondby and over 13,000 turned up.

    I'm not really buying the explanation that people were away on holiday so they genuinely couldn't go today.

    Hibs were playing Montrose today and a lot of people just couldn't be arsed going. There's nothing wrong with that but I wish people were just honest about why they didn't go.

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