I read something about the Elgin chairman basically saying that their tie at Easter Road basically meant they could balance their books for next season’s budget or along those lines. Cup runs are a huge boost to clubs financiallyThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Or alternatively, I’m happy with how much I put into the club and how many games I choose to attend. While at the same time looking for Hibs to spend their budget wisely, whatever that budget may be.

I watched yesterday on a stream and it was similar to watching a pre-season friendly.
Fair play to everyone that went though, genuinely, it’s games like this it’s a shame loyalty points couldn’t have been earned.

£5.5 per home goal compared to their £15/goal rip-offs though.
Mon the Hibs.

“It will also drive significant revenue back to ALL the clubs who participate in the competition, ensuring ongoing investment into the game. We look forward to working with Premier Sports and the BBC to help us continue to tell the stories and cover the action of our top knockout competition.”
And from the Daily Rancid
Put forward by the SFA, the new cash arrangement aims to end the lottery of lower league clubs earning more from one live televised game in an early round of the cup than some sides earn from going all the way to the semis.Last edited by hibbyfraelibby; 20-01-2019 at 07:57 PM.

Sure we have 14000 odd seasons, which is amazing, but the actual crowds at games seem a bit thinner this season than last, regardless of what number Hibs announce. The numbers are still very healthy but yesterday was a bit more like the old days unfortunately.
The first half of this season has not been great ( not a disaster either) and hopefully we can play with a bit more style over the next few months. If not I suspect numbers will drift. Hope I am wrong!

Hibs were at home … I was there … I enjoyed the game coz now and again its nice to see Hibs dominate a game which actually means something. It was also nice to see Ryan Gauld not only give a wee hint of what a player he might turn out to be, but also showing that he is a hard working wee player. Nice to see Fraser Murray get a run out too.
I wasn't bothered about the admission price …. I was rather pissed off to get to the ground 10 minutes before kick off to find the ticket pod for the FF was closed and I couldn't take my usual PATG seat in the FF upper, meaning I had to join a huge queue for the East ticket pod.

It's late January and a lot of us are skint. I know I am anyway.
Re the Cup match - I was interested to see Ryan Gauld make his debut and was considering going even if I am skint. The lack of any discount for the match as compared to league matches certainly affected my thinking and I ended up keeping my money in my pocket and staying at home. If the price had been a discounted £15 as per the sheep and the yams I would quite possibly have attended and I know I'm not alone in this thinking.
Would the overall gate takings have been any more or less??? Of course it's impossible to say but I would hazard a guess that they would have been similar. What is a racing certainty though is that the attendance would have been greater if the price had been dropped to something like £15.

What was brilliant on Saturday was getting the voucher guaranteeing a Cup Semi / Final ticket as a thank you for attending.

Lots of families are skint and won’t have been paid since before Christmas.
I know of two families of four and five respectively who are season ticket holders but just couldn’t afford the day out, the ticket price wasn’t even considered. They took the kids up the Pentlands for a hike.

And gimme peace with the 'Blame Elgin' school of thought. What evidence to we have that reduced admission was ever put to them as an option by Hibs? Airdrie had no problem agreeing to reduced prices for Celtic Park, Stenny the same at Pittodrie, and the stand-out stat for me was that Hibs charged more for the Scottish Cup than any other team in Scotland this weekend.

I didn't go because I couldn't be ersed tbh. Nothing to do with the price. I went a run on Saturday morning, took my bairn to the park and for lunch, watched the lunchtime game on the box then I was out at night; I had a nice day and don't really feel like I missed much.
Ok so I cost the club £20 but I've pumped several thousand into the club in various ways over the last few years so if £20 is costing us a player I'd suggest the issues run a bit deeper.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

By your rationale, in the absence of "evidence" we should jump to the assumption that it was all Hibs fault. Probably Petrie too.
.............or,back in the real world, we could use common sense - maybe look at the prices for other Hibs cup matches over the last few years v diddy teams, or even the Euro matches earlier in the season to see if your point holds water.
