Easter Road set for biggest crowd in 17 years as Hibs take on Hearts

[--------]

http://sport.scotsman.com/hibernianfc/Easter-Road-set-for-biggest.6609194.jp

So - are we all going? :cool2:

[Big Frank]

15k tops.

8 or 9k Hibbies.

[NthCarolinaHibs]

Can't make it but will be over for the next one :agree:

[ancienthibby]

Would not be surprised if we top 18K!!:agree:

(Don't you just love taking money off those Los(t) Yambolinos!!):greengrin

[PaulSmith]

15k tops.

8 or 9k Hibbies.

If we have 9k+ season tickets how do you get this figure?

[declan macmanus]

15k tops.

8 or 9k Hibbies.

I'm sure Hearts only get 3500 tickets...there will be more than 8 or 9k Hibees:confused:

[JimBHibees]

15k tops.

8 or 9k Hibbies.

I would be amazed if it was as little as that. Dont see any reason why it should be less than the Rangers game which was on at a less convenient time.

17 - 18k I would have thought.

[HibeePaj]

i think we will be pushing 17500 :thumbsup:

i know there hasn't been much to cheer about lately but i think we should all go give the Colin the biggest best easter road welcome in 17 years:greengrin


glory glory

[Big Frank]

Hertz will bring roughly 3500. Say everyone of your 9k come along :wink:, some walk up.

So yeh 15k tops is miles out :rolleyes:

Dude, we're bottom of the league.

There will be less than the huns game is suspect.

[Dashing Bob S]

The way things have been going it's become almost a badge of lunacy to state that you are going to the game and looking forward to it. I think there will be a late surge of excitment and the stadium will be near full. The fans who expect a competitive derby will be a bit disappointed, Hibs will establish command early doors and coast the game.

[JimBHibees]

Dude, we're bottom of the league.

There will be less than the huns game is suspect.

Second bottom and a win gets us only 3 points behind Hearts. :greengrin

Cant see it, new manager, the biggest game of the season on at a semi reasonable time. IMO wont be less than 17k.

[HibbyAndy]

15K id say.

[Westie1875]

18k

I know of a number of people who haven't been at all this season and are going on Sunday.

[Barney McGrew]

All areas are showing as limited availability now on the online ticketing system.

[Nando™]

If it wasn't on telly then 19k would be my guess.

As it is, 16k. Get in touch with all the Hibbies you know and TELL them to get a ticket...

[Dashing Bob S]

Most Hibs fans would see Los trampolinos in a derby rather than el stickerinos in a run of the mill league game.

[Cabbage East]

Dude, we're bottom of the league.

There will be less than the huns game is suspect.


What has being bottom of the league got to do with whether or not you turn up for a derby? :confused:

Any Hibby that CAN go to the game on Sunday SHOULD go, otherwise, they're not much of a Hibby.

[Judas Iscariot]

Don't think Big Franko is championing not going, he's just giving the facts..

I agree that it's pïsh that we can't sell out every derby, these games are the biggest and most important of the season!

Don't let anyone tell you different!!

Where's all the 40k that were at Hampden back in 2007 against Killie :bitchy::cool2::grr:

[essexhibee]

Agree with #10 we should be right up for this and should always sell out.
I'm pumped for this one and I hope tje players are aswell..we need to get right into these diet huns from the start. Heart of midfield we need to get stuck in. Bamba needs to plant one on kyle from the start and let the huddy know he's in fi a match.

[AgentDaleCooper]

i've not been all season due to uni in glasgow, but will be heading along, hopefully with 3 other hibbies in tow!

[Hibercelona]

When the chips are down, the gates should be flooded for a derby. Thats true support. :agree:

[frazeHFC]

Would be absolutely quality if we get 17000+, get right behind the green and white army!!! :thumbsup:

Half of them probably haven't been back since. I expect we'll see them again sometime, scrambling for tickets should we ever reach a cup final in the near future.


You'll then hear them claiming it's a disgrace etc etc that they can't see their beloved team that they 'follow' in a Hampden showcase.

:rolleyes: when they have been let down as often as they have been over the last 50 odd years, you cannot blame them for picking and choosing their games.

perhaps iv even half of the folk that were at Hampden that day even bothered there arse we wouldnt be let down as much :dunno:

but they dont we get about a quarter turning up on a regular basis and our finances are structured as such.

Oh no, yet another 20 year old telling us what we have to do to be real Hibs supporters.

I was at Hampden that day and have only been to about a dozen games since then. I was a ST holder at the time but I attended that game on the insistance of my wife as I wasn't going to go as our new born daughter was still in intensive care in Yorkhill, where she remained for 3 months. She is 3 and 1/2 now and has undergone 21 operations that have saved and transformed her life. She is currently in Yorkhill again for a week. Her condition has changed our lives to the extent that my son and myself who were ST holders can hardly get to games now.
So you can **** right off with that pish about people at Hampden that day, I have served my time following Hibs the length and breadth of the UK and abroad even before you were born and I would guess that there are a huge amount of people there that day who have similar stories to tell.
Oh yes, I wont be there at the weekend if that's ok with you.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Yams telling everyone on asbestosback that they have been buying tickets for our end, keep an eye out, whack them first then tell stewards to get them tae fluck oot

woahhh.

Im pretty sure he was on about the fans who never went to any games that season and that have not been to many since then , just because they cant be arsed. Not the ones who have proper reasons.

I only attend 4/5 games a season now, but i didnt take his post in bad taste as i know i go when i can.

I never see why people with circumstances like you think that any of the criticism is aimed at you.

People clearly can't have any issue with people in those type of situations but those are clearly in the minority of reasons why people who go to finals don't go every week.

Bull****, this kind of post comes up time after time when there are big games on. And it invariably starts from a poster about the 18 - 25 age group, probably with no ties etc. I hardly missed agame for years and you get people posting that kind of **** , well it gets right on my thrupnies. I know of probably 20 Hibbies who don't attend matches any more for various reasons whether it's money, family, cannae be bothered, but they are still Hibbies. I would love to see these guys in 20 years time to see how things have changed for them

[Fantic]

They're talking pish. They're not going to be on the database, so the only way they'll be able to get a ticket is if a hibby buys them one.

[weecounty hibby]

There was no mention of special circumstances, just a generalisation of people at Hampden that day. And I would imagine that there may be a minority in my situation but there will be a very large number who were there that do have various reasons for not attending every week and they shouldn't be classed as less of a Hibbie than someone who is 20 and in all probability not been to as many games as some of those others.
I have been at, as a rough estimate, aprox 1000 Hibs games and as I say I would bet that a large number of non attenders will be in the same boat.
So who is the best Hibbie? Someone who has gone every week for a handfull of seasons or someone who has attended 1000 matches. I don't know and would never presume to judge, but I do get pissed of with those who do!

Currently those who are choosing to go are being better supporters. And seeing as I seem to need to spell it out people with particular circumstances aren't really to be counted as making that choice.

[Greenblood70]

Lets hope for everyones sake we see a late surge for ticktets.

I'm very bullish about our chances on Sunday...Calderwood has impressed me in the way he is going about his business and I sense us getting a performance from the team.

If your able to get along, please do, you'll kick yourself if you don't and we get a famous victory in CC's first derby.

Lets take it to these Gorgie fuds.:flag::flag:

Quite understandable, and i'm sure absolutely anybody who finds themselves in the same position as yourself would do exactly the same.

It wasn't. It was aimed at those who can go (have the cash, no work/family comitments that day, no other plans etc) but don't, but instead head to the pub etc to watch it and spend about the same as they would've had they actually attended the match.

[Long suffering]

i've not been all season due to uni in glasgow, but will be heading along, hopefully with 3 other hibbies in tow!

oh very poor :greengrin im at glasgow uni and have managed to attend 7 games
:wink:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

I can remember days when we could be getting six or seven thousand against Dundee or St Mirren, but irrespective of league position, when either of the O/F came, or Hearts, if they were in the league at the time, the crowd would be 20,000. I wouldn't blame anyone for not going to games just now though.

True, but around half the crowd sometimes more, were in the away end.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

For some reason being an uber fan didnae seem to matter before the internet came along, why, I've no idea, but, too many people take great delight on here telling folk what they should be doing. I hardly missed a game for about 25 years, but, never felt the need to belittle anyone who did. I dinnae go as much as I used too, and cannae say I miss it too often to be honest! Rant over!

[Albion Hibs]

I cant wait for the game on Sunday. I would love it if we could pull in a very good crowd, as usual telly has killed it by making it a Sunday afternoon on the TV. Derbys at Tinny Tyne always seem to be lunchtime on a Saturday.

Given its our new managers first game in charge at home I would hope fans turn out for him. Plus we all got stuck into Celtic last year when there crowds were crap at towards the end of the season, so would like to think we are not going to be the same just because our league position at a relitively early stage of the season.

[SaudiHibby]

The Hibs diaspora living far afield in places like Thailand, US, Aus, Middle East and parts of Africa will make a huge effort to get home for a cup final and many of us try and get home (note the word) for one or two games a season. I was at Hampden that day and was amazed at the number of hibbies going through Heathrow. They (we) should all be congratulated not scorned every time mention of that match comes up. :agree:

I think young guys that come on with this type of post are only trying to get people to go to the game, IMO they are not trying to embarass guys like yourself.

I often think in the boozer prior to our bus leaving this person could be going or that one has been missing for a while, at the end of the day we all would like to see us selling all our tickets.

[hibsbollah]

Extremely excited for this one:agree: Taking my young daughter to her first ever game, so im hoping for a classic to get her coming back for more.

Exactly. Some of us older (though possibly not wiser) posters should try and remember back to those halcyon days of our youth when you couldn't imagine why anybody couldn't make it along to a game. The pressures that family life could bring were inconceivable back then. Then as I do, shed a silent tear for the gradual onset of cynicism and general grumpiness caused by life, the universe and seeing your team humped on far too regular a basis.
GGTTH.

A bit strong is it not, there will be plenty of people like you whose circumstances dictate if they can attend football on a regular basis and there will be plenty who only come out for cup finals and the big games out of choice. I can see the point being made about Hampden and tend to agree that there are plenty who are "Massive Hibees" during the good times but conspicious by their absence otherwise. This "before you were born" comment that people like to throw at people makes me laugh, if you're a life long hibee it doesn't matter if you're twenty or eighty!

Who are these mysterious people? I don't know anyone who wanted to go to Hampden for our last cup final, who never got one. Now i admit there might have been some, but i don't remember anyone claiming it was a disgrace they couldn't?

[Aldo]

Going on Sunday (1st time this season) with my 2 younger brothers. The last time we all went together was the 3 nil win at Tynie (good omens or what).

And FWIW i think there will be in the region of 17,000 at the game.

I agree that it's pïsh that we can't sell out every derby, these games are the biggest and most important of the season!

Don't let anyone tell you different!!

Where's all the 40k that were at Hampden back in 2007 against Killie :bitchy::cool2::grr:

Watching it in Bath with my old man and brother.

Skint at the moment with Christmas and a second baby on the way, so forgive me for prioritising other things.

Still cant wait to get stuck into that manky mob!

GGTTH!!

Will that not be a bit crowded?

[IWasThere2016]

Oh, that'll be me you're thinking of.

:agree: I do wish we'd get some real Derby posts/threads!

Just what is the elegant threads is Sir Bob of Dashing sporting this weekend?

WE NEED TO KNOW! AND NOW! :grr:

Who are these mysterious people? I don't know anyone who wanted to go to Hampden for our last cup final, who never got one. Now i admit there might have been some, but i don't remember anyone claiming it was a disgrace they couldn't?

It's not a problem if we are playing a team like Killie, but if the game was against either of the old firm, the Yams, or the Sheep then it would be a different story, there's no way we would get 40k tickets, we would get 26k max and then there would be people that would miss out. I know I missed out on the 2001 final against Celtc because I wasn't a season ticket holder at the time even though I went to quite a few games as a walk up supporter.

I know having a baby can make you skint but sharing a bath with 2 other guys is a bit much on the old cost cutting.

Thats true, so i will ask again. Who are these mythical people who keep mumping their gums they cant get a ticket for a Hibs match?

[Keith_M]

It's ridiculous the excuses some people come up with for not going to games.

I'm 77 years old, live in Lauder, and on my pension so can't afford transport to games. That doesn't stop me walking there and back to every home game, even though I've got a wooden leg.

Last derby game my missus of 48 years snuffed it on the Thursday before and the funeral was planned for the day of the game. I did what any proper Hibby would do and broke in to the Funeral Director's and burned the auld witch in tha back gairden. Didnae stop me getting to games when she was alive so she certainly wisnae stopping me then!

Anyway, Ah need tae go now, only four days walking time tae the Derby.

'mon the Hibs!

[scoopyboy]

FWIW im coming up from london, but hey ho, me and missus havent missed a home match this season :cool2:

Simply outstanding sir.

Some of the local dwellers who can't be bothered going should have red faces when they read that post.

[SouthamptonHibs]

15,800 would be my guess 12,000 cabbage and 3,800 yams

Can't see us getting anymore than that our team is gash, we're joint bottom of the league, it's on a Sunday, it's live on Sky, it's cold outside, Nish could play.....etc etc you no the glory hunters etc won't turn up for any of the above reasons

I'l be there - should be a laugh, we might win hail hail

We should all just have our real faces as avators, then we can spot the uber fans.
I may not be as recognisable to the younger fans as home games and away derbies/cup games are my limit these days, but when I went to all gams throughout the 80,s 90,s and earky noughties (eespecially when we we're pish) you recognised most folk at away games and where you sat at home games..,the away games were easy cause there was so few of us...

Even now I see faces I have seen for years faces you never forget, its harder for us older guys to notice the young ones (I'm only 36 ha ha) but so many folk are just recognisable to me. These are the uber fans and sorry young guys but until you go through 20yrs or moRe of following this ***** will you be able to criticise the older guys. When I was a teenager I had all the time on the planet the only. Thing that stopped me supporting hibs was kids. Marriage didn't slow it down and thankfully I've been able to afford going too. Now when the kids get older ill be back home and away again, cannae wait lol.

Anyaway just tryong to make a point with regards to familiar faces, for the record imiss my first derby for a very long time on sunday as delightfully my family is coming first , and despite being proud of my hibee familly once you hAve your own family then these things matter more..

I've been making plans to get to Easter Road for Sunday since I was stranded on a remote island with my football, Wilson.
