1700 Raith Fans

***Frazerbob*** · 08-02-2019 06:56 PM

Raith just posted in FB that they’ve sold nearly 1700 tickets, with the last 200 available at the gate. Great effort and shows the cup is still held in high regard up here. Hopefully a wasted journey!

That’s a great effort from them
I’m sure we’d give them the whole south, if a lot more than 200 turned up
Any idea how many we’ve sold

Fair play to them -,they must fancy their chances. Hopefully we’ll see a decent, high scoring game as Hibs get into next round.

Is he injured

***Keith_M*** · 08-02-2019 07:08 PM

I'd be surprised if we reach a five figure crowd, especially with the weather that's forecast.

I won't be there, I'm taking a sickie

I’d be disappointed if we can’t muster 8,000 Hibs fans for a 5th round home Scottish Cup at 3pm on a Saturday

I know, but there was a really low crowd in the last round.

8,000 fans paying extra to see us play a league 1 side is a tad optimistic especially how it’s been since September.

**Daydreamer** · 08-02-2019 07:36 PM

Raith are subsidising buses for the game at a flat £5 fare if booked in advance. Probably helped with their crowd.

**murray26** · 08-02-2019 07:39 PM

Well done Raith fans should make for a good game.. massive game for us aswell I think we’ll have 8000 home fans comfortably..

I think that will be a struggle, out of our group of 5 season ticket holders only 2 of us are going

***Stuart93*** · 08-02-2019 08:13 PM

Everything’s pointing towards a hibs slip up.

Good travelling support and we’re in a shocking run of form

Plus a couple ex players lining up against us

Time for fans to go along and help get the team over the line then I’d say

Great post. Sadly under appreciated.

Even if it should have been 33 1/3 😄

Yes, sorry was thinking of the good old days when cup matches where included in season tickets.

**MWHIBBIES** · 08-02-2019 08:40 PM

Brought a big crowd for the playoffs too. Beat them no problem.

Ah I see

Yeah season ticket is only for league fixtures. I'm actually looking forward to this game - I love the Scottish Cup

My dotcount says there's 7579 unsold tickets, putting the Hibs sales at just over 9000 or so.

Me too. Goes back to the days of seeing the tenants advertising boards behind the goals as a child then finally getting to be there. There’s a fantastic smell round Easter Road come Scottish Cup day.

Replace ‘everything’ with ‘one or two things’ and you might have a point.

Lots more things are pointing to us giving them a good pasting.

Ken where my cash is going.
