Leaving aside the yams Murrayfield embarrassment where they did a Kilmarnock and sold half their tickets to the huns - and pulled in a giant dons support - the regular gates of almost 35k across the two Edinburgh clubs is pretty amazing. When did that last happen, the 50s or something?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Next season will be a good one for comparisons.
Both clubs will have settled teams and managers and there will be no excuses about pitches or stadiums or off field stuff.
A strong finish to the season and a couple of quality signings could see us beat their average next year.
It might kill them as a club?!

Our attendances this season have been brilliant. Long may it continue.
Personally, I couldn't give a toss about their attendances.

Our average will be higher come the end of the season, I’ll put money on that.

What we need is a good run of form and to get the ST’s on sale in March/April.
The difference to the club in getting 13k ST’s to a) renew and b) renew early could be very significant.

They have lived a LIE for decades and it continues and will continue. If they want to use the Murrayfield attendances as part of their Avg then it shows their desperation.
Frankly it shows you exactly what they are all about.......

This all began when their 'big team / wee team nonsense started and got ramped up after 56,000 folk turned up at Murrayfield to watch Barcelona. The fact that about 30,000 of them A) weren't Hearts fans and B) had probably never even been to Tynecastle and had no intention of ever doing so didn't matter, it cemented the delusion into their tiny minds .... I know at least 3 non Yams who went to that game and I'm willing to bet every other Hibby does as well.
Given what we have had to put up with over the last few decades is it any wonder we take every opportunity to ram their 'big team' pish down their throats .... If we do end up with a higher average than them come the end of the season I wont blame anybody for revelling in it.
The truth is Hibs and Hearts are both big clubs in Scotland, but compared to most of Europe we fall very much into the medium sized category. I think most Hibbies are happy to accept that and its time our neighbours did as well.

If you ask me if we end up with a higher average even taking the Yams Murrayfield sabbatical into account surely that will make our effort all the more impressive.

I'm confident we can finish above them but they will finish comfortably inside the top six in my opinion.

Hibs and Hearts are two clubs of similar size and fanbase competing for the same targets. Arguing over such small numbers in an attempt to define the bigger of the two is just futile and a waste of everyone's time.

This table tells me one thing, Scottish Football changing the League size to 16 or 18 teams, would murder any teams projections of income in that first season as only the top 5 teams have 5 figure attendances and another 3 have 5,000+ and another 5 have 4,000+????
It is dire straits for clubs trying to play catch up with the Uglies!!!!

Following that argument to it's logical conclusion, why don't The Rangers just play Celtc 36 times a season?

Great post. Those tossers at the GFA and the media establishment are throttling the game they claim to love. A fairer distribution of tv revenues would be a start, but as you point out they are just not interested even in reporting the upsurge in attendances. What other institutions would ignore the growth of key elements in favour of continuing to focus resources on two Neanderthal stuck-in-the-past businesses who peaked more than 30 years ago.

Anyway, it is all academic as a bigger league isnae happening and nobody knows for sure what impact it may have had on crowds.
