    Alan Stubbs got a heroes welcome as well. Ally McCoist not much so...

    Decent numbers travelling up to what is an easily accessible away game, but what we see most weeks on the road really. Would be great to see more travellers on board though, and it surprises me that while our home crowds are at record levels, our travelling support hasn’t really changed from what it’s always been.
    Just as well we had a decent support otherwise there would have been a crowd struggling to get into four figures. Mind you, I wouldn’t be rushing along paying money to watch Tommy Wright’s industrial football either to be fair to them.
    I think our away support is more of an evolving group.

    For 6-7 years I attended almost every away game and pretty much nothing short of a wedding or funeral would keep me away. I started to wind it down last season and have only been to 3 or 4 this season as having a 6 month old baby makes justifying several hours away from home every 2nd Saturday on top of every home games is difficult.

    I don't think that's unique in that you'll have your young folk with no commtiments, folk who can take their older kids with them and folk who's kids have grown up who can commit to attending every other week away. You will have a decent number though who have young kids, kids who play football on a Saturday morning, folk who have to compromise and do other things every 2nd week to get their free pass for home games and so on.

    FWIW I agree, he took the stick well to be fair and played along with it.

    This has to be the worst. Why are folk obsessed with filming everything? Nothing more frustrating when trying to create an atmosphere and someone decides its ok to stick a camera in your face. Put it away and join in - instead of scoring social media points.

    I take your point Ross, but even though I was at the game last night, chanting, singing, supporting our team etc, i still enjoy re-living the match atmosphere the day after by watching any clips from the crowd, so there's def room for both viewpoints ;-)

    Ross, I was only asking so I could send onto the wee lads I took to the game last night, helps them learn the songs
    About time the group had a serious dialogue with LD, and got a better place in our stadium.
    I love the noise and colour they create, sparks the rest of the support. However I only get to enjoy them at away games, I sit in the East, and can’t hear a thing on home match days

    I said the same after my two - probably keep the ST but won’t do so many away matches. It didn’t last that long and was soon back on the road as much as I did before
    It’s not easy to juggle family life and personal social life - some can combine the two, but that’s an expensive old business. If my girls (6 & 3) were going to games along with my wife say, there is no way I could afford to take them to many away games.
    As I said before, watching Hibs is great right now, particularly in the road where there is a real camaraderie with the support and also with the team - long may that continue.

    Fill the corner in between East and FF and make it safe standing. I reckon that would be the solution using the available free space which happens to be the largest space of all the four corners.

    tin hat on, so please don't get too defensive, please.

    Whilst the Kamberi song is great, you can hardly hear it on telly. The song hasn't got the big impact lines.

    "We've got McGinn", "Allez etc", "Glory, glory to the Hibees" and other well known songs have that big impact part at the beginning that suck you in and get you singing out load. I'm not sure the Kamberi song has the same impact.

    I knew the Kamberi song was being sung, but a neutral would have struggled to hear it and no idea what is was about.

    just saying.

    was at the game,struggled to hear the words to be honest.the that's entertainment song was quality tho 👍

    Good thing football fans don’t sing songs for the neutrals watching on the telly.

    Kamberi himself seemed to love it. That’ll do for me

    Fair play taking a positive thread about our away support and managing to get a dig in at the singing section. Not sure if it’s an attempt to be constructive however to me the final part of the post is totally uncalled for.

    Billy says he enjoys the noise and colour the group drums up at away games, but look through the many posts on the subject of singing location and he is not the only fan who sits in the East who’s made observation of the fact that the group are not heard as loudly in their current location. Don’t see what comments you deem to be uncalled for?

    Thanks, that’s exactly what I meant
    I love the singing section, can’t hear them from my seat in the East, due to their positioning

    I love how we have a signing section but I can barley hear it in the West. There is nothing in his post that is having a go at them. In fact no one is we just would like it moved so it can generate more noise. I think the guys have been superb In trying to get a good atmosphere going at ER.

    Can see what you mean, but if folk didn’t then we wouldn’t get as much publicity and my son who’s 7 and obsessed with the signing section wouldn’t know many of the songs as it’s sometimes very hard to hear from where we sit. I think it’s great watching back the crowds reaction to goals and when the whole place is bouncing.

    Singing section belongs in section 43 in the East not stuck away up in a corner. That being said the Harry Potter Natural Order photo would not have happed if the since 1875 were in the East.

    There was a fan down the front who wasn't too impressed when what looked like a broken part of a seat was thrown from the singing section and hit the fan on the back.

    Didn’t make the match, but I’d assume there was a good 4-500 supporters behind him? So the seat was stupidly thrown (also assuming this story is factual) by a Hibernian supporter?

    A different spin on it, as opposed to dragging the names of a bus full of supporters who are involved in Since 1875 through the dirt.

    I seen it happen, the object came from the back row or second back row it was blue and looked like the back of a seat.

    I didn't see exactly who threw it but thats not my style anyway. I dare say there was a lot of drink taken on by a few of them enhancing their performance on the night. The group can surely self police themselves, they must all know each other.

    The seat did not come from the Since 1875 lads. It was thrown from the section to the left of them.

    Saw a few of them shouting over to that section not happy about it

    It came from the blue section of seats where there was a lot of young guys (about 30 or 40 of them) standing and singing throughout and filming everything, whether they are are part of the group or just hangers on I'm not sure. I was seated in the section to their left and they looked like the singing section to me!
