The most important thing is we sell out the play off games. It would be a massive boost to the team coming out to a packed stadium and one that they would relish.

Im not too sure. I think prices may be set by the SPFL.

Did Rangers not charge a fiver last year IIRC ? I'm sure they wanted to let season ticket holders in free at one point ?

Wouldn't it be great if Hibs had 13,000 folk committed enough to the club that they turned up to all its home games? 'Ach piss off, now yer just being divisive' .....
In spite of the fact that in every post I make on this subject I make it crystal clear that I completely understand why many folk cant go on a regular basis, be that work, time, money, etc .... I still get folk quoting my posts and telling me that I'm being unfair because folk cant always go because of work, time, money etc ................ I know, that's not the folk I am talking about!
What sort of a football club is this where fans who wish its supporters would back it from the terraces in greater numbers get called 'uber fans' and 'divisive' ...... perhaps I'm following the wrong club.

People will find the time and get away from work early or find the money and go more regularly if the team were doing well and punching its weight or even better.
The drop off in crowds to where they are now has not happened overnight, its happened because of results over quite a length of time.
I doff my hat to EVERYONE who still goes all the time.
Like it or not, football is not a cheap day out now, and people are making decisions on price and value for money.
The reason folk are using the uber fan jibe is just a cheap shot back at the crawl out of the woodwork, or part timer, or day tripper insult.
There's the divide.

It would make sense to delay the Hearts game and keep the play off on the Saturday given that the next round is played Wednesday 11th and Saturday 14th.
However expect the pub team to complain loudly that their match was arranged first and with their usual lack of competence the SPFL will cave and move our game with Raith to the Sunday.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

And support that is only expressed in response to posters like yourself persisting in criticising others for not attending. Moreover, it is generally people who do attend (or couldn't due to one of the 'acceptable' reasons you have allowed) that debate with you, as opposed to the select few that you are actually "talking about".
I share your desire to see bigger crowds and better atmospheres at Easter Road, and genuinely admire your passion for the club. However, it is nobody's duty to pay money and watch football - every game is a choice.

I know what you are saying, and you are correct, but i do think there is a caveat to this point.
It is nobody's duty, but there is a degree of obligation that goes along with being part of something, a club, a gym whatever. I try and look at my ST as something akin to membership fee of say a golf club - i pay it because i want to keep my club going (and god knows, wouldn't it be nice to help make it successful also) and i know that if everyone stopped, my club would suffer (possibly even disappear).
I have missed a few games this season, some through unavoidable necessity, others through the kind of necessity that if i was really motivated and excited, i could have got out of. I do understand why people aren't attending, because i have done it myself this season. But i do this safe in the knowledge that i am still contributing, what i see as an obligation to help (financially) support my club.
The pay off is obviously when we are successful, you feel very much like you are part of it and that you earned it. I think the annoyance comes from people who roll up to wallow in the success, who haven't (or who are perceived by others to have not) contributed to that success by keeping things going.
I got very annoyed on the bus home from the semi when people were texting others on my bus to ask them to sort them tickets, when the only game they had been to this season was the final.

With the number of games we have this month even I understood when folk came on saying folk would pick and choose the games they went to ... all I can say is that with 7,000 v Livvi .... 8,000 v Falkirk ... 8,000 v Sevco and 7,000 v Dumbarton they must all have chosen the Morton game .... I'm expecting 17,000 on Sunday.

There won't be that many in attendance on Sunday but I'd be astonished if we didn't get a home crowd of 17,000+ between now and the end of the season.
