Its quite easy stop throwing objects from the stands and stop taking pyrotechnics to games and you will be fine everyone should know that and Leanne is perfectly correct in banning them
How many times do fans complain when it happens at sevco fc

The old east terracing where pretty much everyone sang ..Miss those days ! Wee stand but my god the noise it generated underneath the gantry was unbelievable ! Loved a derby against Hearts , And when you scored against them scenes were unreal

Was it not just streamers flying down from the FF Upper as part of a display against The Rangers?
Apologies if it causes offence, but I can’t really imagine feeling the need to complain about having a very light bit of paper floating above me.
Cant see why that merits a ban from displays.

A lot of people are happy to sit in their seats, look at their phones, check the other scores, talk with their mates, just watch the game, you name it.
And that's fine. That's their choice.
But that is why active supports are so desperately needed. The old culture of people just standing and singing (which I think is heavily exaggerated and romanticised, by the way) is long gone.

And, as far as I could tell, they were getting harassed by stewards and police for standing. No wonder nobody wants to sing when the authorities are trying to stop it wherever possible.
Obviously once we scored the winner most of the crowd were singing (or at least clapping) along to the songs, but it really surprised me how little enthusiasm there was for singing before that.
It's a cold Wednesday night in Perth, I'd hate to sit there in silence and freeze. Glad I was back row so I could at least stand up, and occasionally join in with a Hibs song. Felt like even that got me some looks from people sitting nearby, though.

Really guys, you are just draining support from people who previously backed you.Last edited by DaveF; 17-03-2019 at 05:10 PM.

Can I just make it clear that the moron who threw the drumstick from the FFU is not a regular that I recognise from that section. At every cat A game there are more people than seats which can only mean that people from the FF lower are coming upstairs. The group of young guys from where the drumstick was thrown were in row JJ where I'm a season ticket holder and they are not regulars and as far as I know are nothing to do with since 1875. This overcrowding during the cat A games is something the club has to deal with and promptly as this is the issue that causes the hassle in the FFU. Stupid little gits who turn up and want to be part of the noise and atmosphere but don't give a toss about what they do as someone else gets the blame. Since 1875 should perhaps highlight this problem to the club who seem overly keen to act on the daft wee gits behalf.

As a near 50 year old, Dundee away was an eye opener for me. Great singing from the whole stand after a shaky opening 15 minutes.
No weird looks from anyone as they were all singing.

This just adds to a legacy that emerged from May 2016. I was very unhappy about the pitch invasion at the time and have probably mellowed over the last couple of years, but there is a narrative emerging and being set about our support. And it is one the media and commentariat will more than happily use to brand us and tarnish us.
And if the day comes when legislation or policy does catch up with what most sensible people think, and provides the means to tackle the filthy abuse and bile that can be witnessed from Rankgers fans every weekend, you can bet your house that the legislation and policy will be used to hammer us if we are seeing objects thrown, or pitch encroachment.
There might not be strict liability, but if you surveyed the public based on what has happened and what's been reported, then our support would likely be at the top of the list of irresponsible or criminal behaviour, regardless of what the OF do.
At some point there will be a crackdown and when it comes it shouldn't be us who are hit hardest, but it will be, because there is a story being set that puts us in the worst possible light.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

But I cant justify anyone that misbehaves in our support
If it was me I would close sections of the ground where it happens for the next home game and if it happens then repeat and hopefully the good fans will sort out the bad ones I would not dock points as it hurts the players

Although with pay at the gate I don't see how the steward would have known that before moving them.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

I was at the midweek away game towards the end of the season up there, and the same thing happened with them congregating down the front. They stood just in front of where our allocated seats were, and if my young daughter and 70 odd year old father hadn’t moved they’d have seen **** all of the game.
I get that they’ve been great for creating atmosphere over the last few years but let’s be honest, they didn’t invent going to the football with your pals and singing. And they need to have a bit more respect for other supporters who either don’t want to stand or don’t want to sing.
