It'll take a consistent level of performance to win back fans lost over a couple of years of dismal performances and results which culminated in the Hampden horror show. They'll come back, eventually.

A win on 3rd January would be a massive step to getting them back imo.

The more time passes, the more I become convinced that game could go a long way to defining how our season turns out.

Disappointing if unsurprising. Not sure what its going to take some folk to come back - OK we are not playing brilliantly but top of the league doesn't seem to be enough of an incentive.

Doubt if there will be much more next week - the Arabs are mince and its live on TV.

I've been quite positive about the slow increase before but, TBH, today's attendance is a bit dissapointing.

I'm not sure how much more Hibs can do to get more through the gates. It's obviously going to be a long slow process.

Correct, unlike our pinkoid neighbours from the slum that is swiney, we only count the amount of times the turnstiles are turned and not the total amount of S/T whether they turn up or not.

Although I'm a bit disappointed with the attendance figure, I would rather us be top of the league with a 10,000 crowd than near the bottom with 400,000.

Time (and good performances) are a good healer. Let's just look on the positives. Don't forget some folk were predicting that we could be playing in front of 6 or 7,000 this season.

Well I don't see any reason why non attending S/T holders shouldn't be counted in the crowd, they've paid for their seat that can't be re-sold after all. At least we're seeing a steady increase in crowds though.

6 points from our next 2 games, would see us 2nd/1st in the league going into a home tie against Aberdeen. If we achieved maximum points, Aberdeen game would attract a very good crowd. Especially if they pick up points in there next game and put on a good display at home to celtic.

Yes unlike the big team who just count the walk ups and add them to the number of ST's sold. So that if a ST holder doesn't turn up they still count him as being there , but wee teams count all that actually turn up to the game.

According to Lancashirehibby there is no harm in doing it that way, personally I am of the opinion there is. Whenever there is a discussion about football the yams always quote their attendance as being more than ours, without actually knowing how many actually attended on paper it appears they play in front of more spectators every week when that may not be the case. Mute point, but one that bugs me.

I'd imagine Dundee had a bigger crowd than st mirren too, so that is showing an improvement of possibly 300 fans a game. Of if we get a similar increase for Dundee its, plus bigger its crowd we could be closer to 11k than 10.

I'm of the "can't beat them, join them" philosophy, plus I know it's common practice down south.

West and FF looked particularly busy btw compared to when I was last at ER (Killie game).

It's going to be a very slow process, as the pain of last two years and the recession made it easy for people to drift away from football. We're actually doing well to keep making those modest increases, as most clubs are showing decreases in attendances.

I'd settle for another couple of hundred on the gate next Saturday, with 500 half season ST's sold.

03-11-2012, 08:43 PM
Definitely seemed busier than that to me.

As an aside, for games like this, would we be better shutting the South Stand and giving the away fans one block of the West split off if that was possible? Just seemed a pointless expense on our part to have the cost of opening a whole stand for a couple hundred folk at best...

I was thinking that earlier, but I think it's good for our kudos that we need (albeit not in the strictest sense in the word) to have all possible areas open to accommodate for our own support.

Compare the attendances of the ten clubs – excluding Ross County and Dundee who weren’t in the league last year – and seven of them are showing increased crowds, with only Celtic (down 7.46 per cent), St Mirren (down 6.7 per cent) and Hearts (down 15.5 per cent) showing a fall. And there are mitigating circumstances in two of those cases. Celtic fans now have the glamour, and the cost, of the Champions League to think about. It’s no surprise that some of their number are prioritising Barcelona, Moscow and Benfica over some of the domestic fare.

Hearts are down over 2,000 fans per game but you have to look at what is going on there, too. Last season, Hearts’ first six home games included matches against Hibs, Rangers, Celtic, Dundee United and Aberdeen. This season, their first six visitors to Tynecastle in the SPL have been St Johnstone, Inverness, Dundee, Kilmarnock, Motherwell and Ross County. Their bumper gates have yet to come.

Bumper gates still to come? Bottom 6, tax case, and probable share issue failure, I don't foresee bumper crowds at the PBS anytime soon.

Elsewhere, the numbers are good, albeit at a very early stage in the season. Club chairmen and chief executives asked their people to back them in the summer when Rangers exited the league and they have done. Hibs are up nearly 9 per cent, Aberdeen and Inverness are up more than 10 per cent, St Johnstone are up 14 per cent, Kilmarnock are up 16.6 per cent and Dundee United are up 22.6 per cent. Of course, some of these attendances are rising from an extremely low base but that’s not the point.

Hibs up 9%, and the teams visiting ER are much about the same that those that visited Tynie.

From where i was sitting, section 40 of the East, i roughly guessed the following:
West 3,700
FF 2,000
South 300

So 6,000 in total. The usual turnout for the East is around 4,500 so i came away thinking 10,500... was only about 150 out.

And yes i did have time to watch some of the action between counting!

I'm not sure if this is a serious comment or not.....but if you are being serious then there's no chance of over 13k next week!
Lunchtime, Sunday, live on TV, so i've no idea where another 3k are going to appear from....it would be great but it just won't happen...

It sure looks like the past couple of years really have taken their toll and even being unbeaten at home, 3pm Sat k.o and a chance of going top still isn't enough for some.
Stuffing the deluded beggars at swiney on Jan 3rd may go somewhat towards getting some fans to hopefully come back though!

Tickets sold should be used for the sponsors - ST + walk ups +corporate

The attendance should be the number of seats in the ground which have been paid for .... simple.

I thought the crowd was about 11,000 yesterday. Its a disappointment that we are having a problem getting folk to come back in bigger numbers, but not a huge surprise I suppose. The good thing is that our crowds appear to be holding up.

Tell you what though ..... I for one cant remember a time where after 12 matches there was only about 6 points between 11 of the 12 teams. Given Dundee Utd's super comeback against Celtic this afternoon and the fact that they have got their 3 main strikers back fit again, next Sunday should be our hardest game for a while with no guarantee of victory.

Given that we are currently joint top of the league this should be a game which can attract supporters even if it is live on the telly and kicking off at stupid o'clock.

If we can hit 12,000 next Sunday that will be progress in my book.

To be honest the only thing that will stop me trying to make it along every week is the cost, not an issue with an easy solution, but definitely a factor I'd think.

Yesterday was £22 for the ticket, then almost £7 for a coke some chips and a pie. That two or three times a month in the current climate could well be beyond the limits for many people. The problem would be of course that to make a significant cut in that cost would require a lot more people coming to keep revenue the same...

Its progress. I think it will be a decent crowd next week. Dundee united usually bring a good crowd with them to ER plus the chance for us to go back to the top of the table should entice even more fans through the turnstiles. I'm hoping for at least 11,500-12,000 for next sun.

It depends I suppose on what you are looking for from the figures.

The number of people who actually witnessed the game doesnt tell you how much income was generated. If the crowd was 10,000 but there were 500 season ticket holders missing you are going to be short on how much money Hibs made from the game I would have thought.

Agree but as long as I've ever looked that Attendance figures it's been for the purpose of understanding how many people attended the match - not how much money the club made from the game. I'll look at income figures from the Annual Accounts.

The volume of tickets purchased doesn't tell you that either.

If you want to know how much income we make from a particular game then you can find out but not solely through volume of tickets.

I think you will struggle to get anywhere near that number. Lots of people won't or can't go because they play/coach/watch children's/youth football on a Sunday. Particularly parents with children who play football. Add to the fact that it live on the telly and it will kill any chance of getting much above 10k at the game.

Interesting concept but there would be a lot of work to do. It would be hard to move away from the idea of dividing total cost by number of games to get the cost per game.

I'm also a bit skeptical that "the system has already proved a hit at Cardiff", I think the fact that they are top of the league has a lot to do with ticket sales.

I think this could have the opposite effect when teams are performing poorly.

Ozyhibby

It costs me £37 to take a five year old to the match yesterday. I can stomach my 22 but 12 for him is ridiculous. Other clubs charge less for primary school aged kids so why can't we?
Hearts took the cup around schools recently and dished out free tickets for the Motherwell match. Why can't we do something similar? There's plenty room.
I understand the club needs money but so do the fans...and the more kids that go means more fans in the future.

This isn't a loaded question at all but how much is a kids season ticket?

I was under impression that they were really cheap so is the incentive maybe there for kids st sales rather than patg sales, even if likely to miss a few games maybe still work out a bit cheaper?

The good deals involve buying with an adult or sitting in the FF lower. They are good value in their own right but not suitable for everyone.

Season tickets are cheaper for 12 and under so why aren't walk ups staggered like that?

I don't mean to moan but it's as if the club are saying to people with really young kids "enter into a long term commitment or you will be ripped off"

Because they are trying to make season ticket packages attractive to family groups, that's a good thing, no? The cheap kids season tickets are a sweetener to sell more adult tickets.

Which is not of use for everyone - that's not the best thing.

I'd to pay £12 for my son - I don't object in the slightest but in context of £60 ST that's too dear.

Out of principle, I've more of a gripe about £1.50 booking fee per ticket - that's an absolute nonsense.

Which is not of use for everyone - that's not the best thing.

I'd to pay £12 for my son - I don't object in the slightest but in context of £60 ST that's too dear.

You can't just look at the nominal price paid for the kids season ticket though, you have to look at the whole package including adult tickets.
Don't start me on the booking fees, I resent every penny...... Especially when it is applied to free tickets.

Because they are trying to make season ticket packages attractive to family groups, that's a good thing, no? The cheap kids season tickets are a sweetener to sell more adult tickets.

I agree but i just think £12 is quite a lot for a 5yo remember most people will take the kids along to a few games first before deciding whether or not to go for a season ticket

£12 is a lot for a five year old and £22 is a lot for an adult. Football in general is too expensive. The club should look at revamping the whole concessions system. They could start by restricting student concessions to full time students only. :devil: That might give them a bit more room to lower kids prices.

Why? One match for a 5y-o is 20% of the full ST price - that's daft IMHO.

Buy yourself season tickets then. I think my lads ticket was £85 or there abouts this year. Next year it will be around the £120 mark as he hits 12. Taken as a family group it makes having the 2 adult season tickets a far more attractive deal. You can't just look at the kids season ticket price in isolation.

It is meant to be for season tickets, not sure what the policy is for walk up.
