I just think they're all terrible excuses for not going to the football. Particularly the point about not fancying it because of the likelihood of defeat.
What sort of attitude is that?

It must get boring turning up expecting to win every game (I wish!).

People are right when they say our attendance was poor today, the club rightfully demanded a 50/50 split for us because they thought we could sell that amount or just about.
Instead only 11k of us managed to make the trip, understand some circumstances meant folk weren't able to attend. However there was a portion of fans who had the money and time but simply couldn't be bothered to turn up and support the players and our club.
Now we face the possibility of getting reduced allocations in the future thanks to the "can't be bothered" crew.

From personal knowledge of why folk weren't there, i agree that holidays were the biggest factor. Of the top of my head i know at least a dozen fans who would not have missed it under any other circumstances other than they were on holiday. A similar number i know didn't go cause of all the other factors combined.

Given recent history Hibs were right to be optimistic about how many tickets we could sell ... for whatever reason it didn't happen which is a shame. Given segregation difficulties the only way to guarantee the ugly sisters more tickets would be to withhold north stand tickets until we see how sales are going, and if its clear we cant sell more than 15,000 pass them over to the uglies, giving the them whole north stand.
As for the fans who did go yesterday, they did themselves and the club proud as I knew they would, for some reason it always seems that the fewer of us there are at these games the better the vocal backing is and Saturday was a case in point.

**** them. We took more to Hampden than the majority of Premiership teams get at their own ****ing home games. In some cases you could combine a few home gates and not get close to what we took through.
**** Celtc, and **** their sense of entitlement.
Great statement from Hibs. Well done to everyone that went through, we represented the club well, backed the team throughout, and made more now than the Celtc fans could muster.

Let’s see how many Motherwell take today for a 2.30pm KO 10 mins along the road from them. We’ll see what abuse they get!!
Would like to see our attendances for the 22 times we’ve been to Hampden since 2000, I bet 11,000 is above average for us.Last edited by macca70; 22-10-2017 at 12:57 PM.

For some perspective, last season Morton v Aberdeen had 16,183. Same kick off time also on BT Sports. How must that have looked on TV?
Season 2105/16 Ross County v Celtc had 22,130. 3 pm kick off but on a Sunday. Don't remember us complaining about a smaller pot of cash!! (We were at Tynie against Saint Johnstone and had 16,971)
Season 2014/15 Aberdeen v Dundee Utd had 29,608 for a 3PM saturday kick off.
Seems the time of the game, the cost of tickets and the fact it was also on TV are major factors affecting crowd size.Last edited by Moulin Yarns; 22-10-2017 at 10:55 AM.
There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

Fans of all teams are a bit fickle. If Hibs had won against Dundee, StJohnstone, Hamilton, Motherwell & Aberdeen then we would have probably sold out. I enjoyed being there yesterday but disappointed in our first half display and the soft goals lost. But we move on and hopefully we win v Hertz.

A good statement especially the dig about fans staying to the end.Wonder how Celtic felt when they headed to the East stand to find practically nobody there?Must have looked good on TV.Incidentally Celtic fans will not go into the West.

I am a bit puzzled by the supposed 50/50 split of tickets. We had the West side of the ground yesterday, with no tickets in the upper. Yet when it was 50/50 split for the 2016 final against Rangers and they had the West aside, they probably had more than half of the tickets in the upper.
I noticed the James Connolly flag before the game but not in the ground, what happened to it?

I live on the west coast (member of the West of Scotland Hibs Supporters Club) and I took along a non Hibbie friend to the game on Saturday. He played football at a senior level many years ago and through his contacts has been to many pre Sevco Rangers games. We were seated at the west end of the North Stand. I asked him what he thought of the experience. He said that it was a good atmosphere. Hibs fans were accepting of “decisions” that went against them. They were well behaved without the bitterness and the aggression that he associated with Rangers from way back. The only foul language he experienced on the day was from Craig Gordon swearing at the linesman after the penalty decision. All in all he felt that it was a very good experience (apart from the result) and the fans were a credit to the club.

Best way to say 'thanks' is to beat this steaming pile of s***e from Gorgie tomorrow night.
