In the history of Scottish football Rangers and Celtic have NEVER played each other on the first day of the Season, not once. Statistically that is a quite amazing situation if the fixture list is supposed to be randomly generated.

I also read that Rangers are due to play a glamour friendly, as are Celtc, once the Season has started. No-one has even broached the idea of the OF being scheduled to play each other on this date, to allow the rest of Scottish Football to get one with playing League fixtures.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if we get Hearts at home in the 1st or 2nd game of the season.

Get it over and done with.

The fixtures are manipulated to a certain extent though.

Hence how you get New Year derbies, Hibs and Hearts not at home the same weeks etc.

Assuming for whatever reason its worked so the OF don't play each other in the opening game.

I'll go for Rangers at home...

I think it will be an away game. We have had our share of first day home games.
In reverse order, on the first day of the season we have played:

2011/12 Celtic home
2010/11 Well away
2009/10 St Mirren home
2008/09 Killie away
2007/08 Hertz away
2006/07 Dons home
2005/06 Pars home
2004/05 Killie home
2003/04 United away
2002/03 Dons home
2001/02 Killie home

I'm sure I can recall them playing on the opening day of the season the year the League was reduced to ten for the first time.

Hibs beat Hearts 1-0 with a cracker from Joe Harper the same day.

Even if we do win the first derby in the early part of the season, its not going to end the gloating and pelters we are going to get from that lot (really not looking forward to it TBH) but hopefully we can beat them and restore some degree of pride. We need to start beating them on a regular basis aswell, something we haven't been able to achieve for years.

Beating them maybe once would be a nice change.

I agree with what some are saying, winning all the derby games next season wouldn't make up for what happened in the final.

Of course it won't and I wasn't suggesting otherwise.

However, if we are in a position where we are winning the game that is being played at that time then the songs from them won't mean as much to them or us....IMO.

Totally. Nothing will ever make up for that final but if we were to finish ahead of them and start beating them it would at least give us something to sing about instead of the current paedo song repertoire.

ask me on the 17th, if we have signed some talented players then i would like a test of the old firm or hearts at home. If we have done poor in the market I would prefer to get some bottom six teams in the first few games an attempt to get some win to lift some of the doom and gloom.

1. Will these fixtures include Rangers :tsk tsk:

2. Will the SPL season start on time - I can see their being a delay with the way this Rangers mess is dragging on :agree:

Diclonius

For once, I want Hearts to be the very last fixture out of the initial eleven.

Let's try to bring back what winning a game feels like before we play them again.

Not excited about who we get as who ever we play will beat us. We need signings ASAP (at least 11). Betting will be easy next year if we start the season with a midfield that contains Osborne, Stevenson and Sproule. C'mon Hibs it takes a while to sign players

Some observations.

1) Will there still be a split if the SFA force through the merger of the SPL and SFL, thus removing the SPL structure/specific rules?

2) The cynic in me observes that there is no instance when both Celtic and "Club 12" are scheduled to be at home on the same weekend (other than when the Celtic vs Dundee Utd game is postponed, where this could obviously happen without issue) and that there still appears to be "the potential" for the Christmas Old Firm game.

3) Difficult start for Hibs :agree:

I think may be a bit of both....there are only 2 Sunday fixtures shown thus far as the TV companies - who really set match times - won't have been asked.

Remember past season we sometimes had 4 different KO times across 2 days for the 6 fixtures (with the odd Friday night & Monday night thrown in for good measure)

Sadly, I did.

It's not rocket science to produce fixtures where certain teams are home and away. I have formula, from my time as a match secretary, where you could have a league of any size and ensure that particular teams in that setup avoid home clashes. It was actually produced by the SFA!

What it looks like to me is ...

they've had these fixtures worked out for a little while with Rangers included

rather than re-do the fixtures (on the basis that Dundee might be involved) they've simply replaced Rangers with Club 12

they are expecting Rangers to get in

If it meant that they were playing SPL football next season, especially when you consider the hard times they have been through a support in recent years and that they have not been in the SPL since they were relegated in 2005, does anyone really think that Dundee fans would moan about playing a few home games on a Sunday/Monday/Thursday or Friday night for one season?

Some observations.

1) Will there still be a split if the SFA force through the merger of the SPL and SFL, thus removing the SPL structure/specific rules?

2) The cynic in me observes that there is no instance when both Celtic and "Club 12" are scheduled to be at home on the same weekend (other than when the Celtic vs Dundee Utd game is postponed, where this could obviously happen without issue) and that there still appears to be "the potential" for the Christmas Old Firm game.

3) Difficult start for Hibs :agree:

Absolutely. Funny that. Whereas if Dundee are admitted to the SPL, fixtures will have to be shifted just about every week. Nice work.

What do people reckon the attendance will be like for this game? Will it be a case of everyone coming out in a show of defiance and supporting the team, or will a lot of fans stay at home to avoid the inevitable mocking from the away stand?

I hope that all Hibees really come out in numbers and get behind the new look side to show the Hearts fans that despite that horrible day we are not defeated and remain as proud as ever to support Hibs. I think this will probably depend on the signings we make though.

Not sure but I agree that there needs to be a big hibs support there that day to show that we are not shying away. If hearts think that hibs fans have walked away and are too embarrassed to attend derbies then IMO thats a even bigger victory for them than may 19th was. Its going to be tough and obviously the jambos will be rubbing 1902 etc etc right in our faces and lording up their May 19th victory as we would be doing to if it had been us that won. But we just have to take the pelters on the chin but give back as good as we can. It will be even more humiliating if its a poor hibs crowd who are silent the whole game whilst letting the jambos outsing us and make all the noise. Hopefully we can get a win to shut them up a bit!

So your too ashamed to attend a derby, but not concerned about that giving the yams another reason to laugh at us with our embarassing attendance? The best possible thing we can do is to come out in force, show the yams were over it (even if we, evidently, are not) and give them a stuffing. Sitting at home shaking behind our sofas is the worst possible thing fans could do right now, just gives the yams yet another 'one-up' on us. And without turning this into another 'What has the Club ever done to us' thread, our team needs us now more than it ever has. Stay strong Hibees :agree:

Hearts will have a weaker side next season and therefore a big chance for us to beat them. A chance we need to take in order to try and dilute a bit of the cup final slagging. Not gonna happen though if we have a near empty stadium, with a silent hibs support and the hearts fans making all the noise giving the hearts players a lift and give our players fear. More than ever in derbies, we need to big, loud hibs support to show that the cup final hasn't killed us and we are still 100% with our club.

A crowd of less than 10,000, there end sold out, and boy will they have a party and ram the 19th May right down our throats, it will be a horrible horrible day for us that turn up for this game.

Completely agree.

The one thing good about the final was the fan display and I was seriously proud of the guys behind organising that. At least I left the final still feeling proud to be a Hibee unlike the semi against them when empty seats and silent fans made the experience even worse. I don't know if it would be possible but maybe the 12th man could try and organise something for this game too. I realise that it might be too soon though, and also not sure what the cash situation is - if theres any available or if everything raised was spent on the final display. I just think that this game could be huge in returning a bit of pride and good feeling to the Hibs support.

The bottom line is that Hibs fans NEED to get behind the team at this game!:flag:

Hearts have often got the better of us, without their fans being particuarly loud.
Why is it we think we only have a chance, if we are a loud supportive crowd?
Where did it get us on May 19th.
(I am not suggesting we don't get behind the team and in numbers!)

I think Hibs fans just want to see an organized, committed team that can play a little bit as well. Stick some tackles in, fight for the cause - and the fans will respond massively.

Point is, it's about time the club got a team on the pitch, that actually lifts the crowd.

Of course all Hibs fans want to see an organised, committed team on the park. The point I have been trying to make though has actually nothing to do with getting a good result when we play them. I actually think that the fans showing that we have not been completely demoralised by the result at the final is more important to me than the result on the day.

Being a Hibs fan to me is more than simply hoping that they win, if all I cared about was winning then I would have supported one of the Old Firm for the past 30 years. If the Hearts fans are able to feel that they have beaten us to a point where we are not even able to turn up let alone sing then I will find it more depressing than any other derby defeat.

another post had me feeling that it's up to the fans again to come out in large numbers to make a difference on the pitch...

If we can suffer a 5-1 cup final thumping, then there is little worse we need to ever face. So no reason we shouldn't see a healthy turnout for the 1st home game of the new season.......let's hope the new team will already be looking in decent shape and running out in a cracking new strip.

Im with you on your original point as well. The fans shouldn't be expected to just turn up week after week to watch dross after dross.

I would just make an exception for this game and urge all Hibees to get along and give a big **** you to all the visiting jambos! They may have pumped us in the final but I would still rather be a Hibee who got pumped than a Jambo!

With that in mind theres nothing really to worry about. I will always be able to go to a derby and laugh at them, because they're them!

Of course derbies are not won by which set of fans sing the loudest or have the best displays etc. if that were the case then the cup final would have been won by us. All we are saying is that a big loud hibs support is needed, especially in derbies this season to show that we haven't let the cup final scare us away. Its up to the players to do there bit on the park but we have to do our bit off of it and not let the tramps out sing us and taunt us as we sit silently in our seats.

I think that may actually be one of the only good things we can take out of May 19th. Hopefully the cup final hammering has finally made the players and manager realise just how bad our attitude in derbies actually is and highlighted just how much work needs to be done. If we had won, obviously it would have been absolutely amazing but perhaps it may have papered over the cracks a bit and the problems we have with derbies wouldn't be addressed. Our attitude in derbies for years has been absolutely rank, but it is clear that Fenlon is aware of this so I hope he can sort it.

If we go in with the same attitude as we did in the capitulation at the final we have no chance and i can understand why some wont want to go as they will be rubbing our noses in it again, i was one of the ones who bought a season ticket in order to attend the Cup Final, and got the tyre on my car slashed to boot as did hundreds of others in the same car park, we have parked there loads of times watching Scotland and never had any bother but it just was a terrible horrible day anf the pain is very much still there.
Anyway we never booked summer holidays this year and got season tickets for me the wife and my kid, opening fixtures of Dundee United Away and them at home they have St Johnstone home before we play them its possible they are 6 points ahead of us after 2 games just the sort of start we do not want, and it could be another long hard torture season.

As the derby is during the festival is there anyway Hibs could set aside a section of the stadium aside for tourists? I am sure they could arrange with police to have passports or other suitable id to allow people visiting the city access. Always feel Hibs miss out on this potential source of income at Cat A games along with a few sales in the shop. With every penny counting sure it would help.

I'm just looking forward to it, I hate the Yams with a fiery passion and the final only intensified this. Bring them on I say, no point in hiding or moping from this one, it is a chance to at least salvage some dignity for our club. I have every belief in my team and my fellow fans to make sure that they know that the final has not killed us and that they don't own us.

Looks like a tough start, would have preferred to get the Yams in October time in order to get out team up and running, coz even if they lose a few decent players its doubtful that they will replace them with any worse than our new signings, whoever they may be.

Anyway ... its our first home game of the season and the first derby since we lost the cup final, we should do everything we can as a club and as Hibs supporters to get as many Hibbies as possible into the stadium for this one. Yes it will be hard as hell having to take the inevitable Yam pee taking thats going to go with this game.

But what will be a lot harder to take is to see a full Yam end ( which lets face it it will be ) and the rest of the ground half empty.

The only way we have to show the Yams that they might have won a battle but not the war is to turn out in numbers for this one.

We could get 25,000 folk to travel 40 miles and more for a derby last month, with thousands more disappointed at not getting tickets. I suppose all these folk must be Hibs supporters.

All we need is 16,000 of these folk to show that they still love this club no matter what, even if its just for this one game.

Or were they all just glory hunters after all.

I'm just looking forward to it, I hate the Yams with a fiery passion and the final only intensified this. Bring them on I say, no point in hiding or moping from this one, it is a chance to at least salvage some dignity for our club. I have every belief in my team and my fellow fans to make sure that they know that the final has not killed us and that they don't own us.

:giruy::giruy:

no worried about the Yams worried about us! One month on and we've signed nobody at this moment in time we have the worst squad in the SPL. i'll start getting excited when the signings start rolling in. After the disgraceful performance last May i thought the club might create some positive press and get the Hibs fans buzzing wi a couple off early signings. typical hibs = nowt happening. When do we start pre season training?

I've NO intention of setting foot inside any of the other SPL grounds this year so not fused about the Utd game. Just gutted our first home game is going to be a Sunday with a stupid kick-off time. Going to be a real struggle to make it.

It should be a 3pm ko. The reason it's on the Sunday is United have a Europa League qualifier on the Thursday night, might be a good time to get them

At least if Hearts, with their financial issues, go the same way of Rangers, they will be utterly delighted with the Club 12 designation. It sums them up much better than Club 18-30, or, for that matter, Heart of Midlothian. I wonder if they'd even bother changing their name back?

I was chuffed to get to 12 games during 2011/2012 (even though we didn't win many of them!) but having just gone down the fixture list, work and childcare issues mean I can only make a handful of games at the moment.

For once, I'm hoping more games get shifted to Sunday's, albeit at 2pm at the earliest...big ask, I know.

Bit gutted to be honest, though my lad turns 5 in September so I might be able to drag him to a few games later in the season to drag my own quota up. If anyone knows whether that constitutes child abuse, please let me know.
