Where on earth did you infer from this post that I said either of the following?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
- The current flag wavers invented atmosphere
- Everyone else is a boring fart
And, as I'm not part of Since 1875 and have only been in the Famous Five Upper once, "you are just draining support from people who previously backed you" is also inaccurate, as you're using my post to justify your own why people 'no longer back' the singing section.
Absolute nonsense reply from yourself.

The displays have been great, the songs and atmosphere at away games excellent - but should you participate or if you don`t, it doesn't make anyone a better fan than anyone else who is there every week. Hopefully common sense can prevail, and the group can continue and fans young and old can enjoy what it brings, and hopefully Leean can take on board the contribution the group has made to the club over the last few seasons. A couple of guys overstepping the mark shouldn't unravel all the good that has went before.

You guys really should just focus on what it is you do well and spend less time on your ego's.

Do you shut hospitality if one person gets blootered and doesn’t behave?
For me it’s about perspective, ban individuals and if it’s very large groups of disorder then that’s where you deal with it more radically.

Standing in the back row of the same block behind the goals that the group were in, I could see clear as day that stewards were getting folk to show them their tickets, and backed off once they all did and realised that they were wrong. Also, the ones on the end of the row were stopping more people from trying to cram into the rows as sometimes happens.
Essentially though, we need to get a grip. The current ticket allocation of away ends is a lottery anyway in terms of logging onto the e-ticketing site and being given what you're got once you choose a block. Bring in unreserved seating, allow for fans to stand (particularly up the back of the stand) and just accept that it's what is going to happen.
Instead, you have jobsworth stewards trying to make people sit, all because the Taylor Report decided that all seater stadia was more important than rightly blaming South Yorkshire Police for the deaths of 96 football fans.

You postings are generally 100% in favour of since 1875 group so it isn't an unrealistic to assume you were part of it - or at the very least supportive of their attempts at generating the atmosphere while everyone sat on heir hands hence my opinion.
If you are not, fine - I'll shuffle on.

Also signed the petition that 1875 guys organised to try and move somewhere else in the ground but after what's happened I don't think they will get there wish to which is a shame it was better when they were at section 43

I am supportive of their attempts to generate an atmosphere, my only regret is that more folk don't join in. The bouncing and the hands up clapping stuff isn't for me at all, but I still sing along generally when I'm in the same stand as them at an away game.
I worked down south in London for a couple of years and went along to a few games here and there, and whenever a club like Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Forest were visiting any of the London clubs, they would - to a person - be stood and singing. It's long since puzzled me that Scottish fans, who are generally quite good, don't do likewise. It must just be a culture thing, because only Celtic and Rangers (and occasionally Aberdeen) manage it. We've managed it once or twice too, mind. Killie away in the Scottish Cup quarter finals a few seasons back was brilliant.
You've brought up the stuff about folk sitting on their hands, I listed a bunch of other things that I see folk doing when I'm in the East watching a game at Easter Road. As I say, I don't judge/blame people for not singing if they don't want to, it's their choice. But it's something that I wouldn't be able to do myself, and it is definitely something which is to the detriment of the team.

Fill that empty corner in with a good safe standing area. The extra revenue will let it pay for itself and the atmosphere will be far better.

They haven't invented it, but they're the only ones nowadays who are carrying on said tradition.

Do the 1875 group create the banners like the one below. If so, they should be commended and praised by the club. The club should work with the group, rather than against it. Seems these guys put a lot of money and effort in to enhancing the atmosphere.

That doesn’t mean they’re any better than any other person that goes to watch Hibs, doesn’t mean they should get any special treatment and certainly doesn’t absolve them from having to play by the same ground rules as everyone else inside the stadium.

What about older people who can’t stand for 90 minutes or kids who are to small to see if everyone stands - should they just not bother going?

People throw them precisely because if they hold them, they are likely to be arrested and banned. Throwing them allows them to avoid detection. And pyro only becomes dangerous once it is thrown, because then it becomes a missile just like anything else.
In Scandinavia and America, where it is legalised and left to people who know what they're doing, they are held aloft and everyone is safer for it. Yes, in an ideal world, nobody would see the point in them and they'd all be left at home. But since it's going to happen and people will continue sneaking them in and throwing them (onto the pitch, into the stand etc), then you'd be better off legalising and making sure they were handled properly and safely instead.
Sorry, would just like to add that I do feel a lot for you and your daughter. Didn't mean the post to come across as dismissive of her experience in any way.Last edited by HibeeHibernian4; 17-03-2019 at 07:08 PM.

It really doesn't matter that they're legal in America.
It wouldn't matter if they were given away free with matchday programmes in Sweden, they're banned in Scotland.
If people continue to knowingly break the law, they're risking arrest and a stadium ban.
There's not much to complain about if and when that happens.

2. By all accounts the drumstick got launched during same game. Perhaps the drummer may care to comment on how it slipped from his/her hand due to sweaty palms?
So can I ask has Since 1875 rendered up the culprits or are they "protecting" them. I smell a heavy whiff of ****** coming from some prominent egotists diguised as righteous indignation.
If you dont self police we all get indiscriminately policed.Last edited by hibbyfraelibby; 17-03-2019 at 10:35 PM.

2. The drummer never threw the drumstick. When i seen the drumstick hit the grass, i looked towards the drummer and he still had 2 drumsticks (1 in each hand). Those of us near the drummer were looking around bemused as to where the drumstick came from.
