No-one needs to explain why they did or didn't go to any game.
It's the other face of the ridiculous "why do all these folk want to go to cup finals, but don't turn up for ordinary league games" pish.
And yes, it's people wanting to validate themselves as better than others.

Couldnt make it due to health issues. I did donate to someone else to go in my stead (Hibs charity). Paul Hanlon has been a very good player for Hibs and as i couldnt go, thought it would be better for someone to attend in my place. Personally think the game would have been better been played at the end of last season. But thats my opinion

Are you not related to him or something? If so, surely you can see how you are hardly an objective point of view?
It was a botch job, you are right he did deserve better than Blackburn Rivers.
That crowd actually wasn't even that bad - what was the crowd for lewey last year? I seem to remember a similar crowd for Gordon Hunter too. Maybe your expectations were just wrong, skewed by your lack of objectivity?

It’s a remarkable achievement for a player to be with a club for 10 years these days and disappointing that some of our support couldn’t hang around for 5 minutes to applaud Paul on his lap of honour.

Of course more could have turned up, however, less could have turned up. If Paul’s testimonial was 5 years ago, there would’ve been 2000 turning up and probably protests and abuse hurled at Petrie while the match was in play.
Paul is in the position to play 2 testimonials as he’s nowhere near retirement, that is stupid for me. Have the testimonial in the year of retirement. Many more would turn up if it were a send off rather than a pre season game labelled a testimonial.

Have testimonials always been on the 10 year mark?
I would have thought at the end of their time at the club/as a player, having been there for 10+ years, would have been a more likely time for one.
I'm sure everyone likes and appreciates what Hanlon has done and achieved for Hibs in his 10 years regardless of how many showed up for the pre season friendly that we decided was Hanlon's testimonial.Mon the Hibs.

That’s what I thought initially as well regarding testimonials.

It was a flat game and atmosphere, so factors are there. Doesn’t stop my disappointment though.

This is all a wee bit annoying, as we all knew that the ticket price, proximity to first Euro tie, and school hols were going to impact the attendance.
However, consider this: if you asked Paul Hanlon what he thought was the most important game for Hibs between today's and Thursday's, what do you reckon he would say? He'd rather, if you had to choose, that you pitched up on Thursday- of that I'm certain.

Given that it was so early in the school holidays when so many are away that was actually a decent attendance today.
Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

I’ll be disappointed if we can’t get 10k+ on Thursday. Too many people taking it as a given and booking flights to Greece, we need to turn up on Thursday, too much arrogance going about, won’t be from Paul though.

Hopefully be a few more Testimonial events for fans who couldn’t go today, to show their support for Paul

I stayed for the presentation but left before his lap of honour. My only 'excuse' was i wanted to get home sharp to have dinner with the kids.
If it wasn't Pauls testimonial and just a friendly I wouldn't have been there today and I know i'm not the only one.
Demanding everyone stays for a lap of honour only loses respect for the day itself.
