It's part of the ongoing process to completely empty every SPL stadium.

Getting to a game in Motherwell on Friday night is easy enough but stuff travelling all the way to Edinburgh on a Monday.
I love Fitba under the floodlights, I don't really care which night of the week it is.

maybe hibs should consider cutting the prices of tickets for games through the week like this one! if it was for example £20 for an adult and a concession it would increase the chances of a bigger crowd! i can remember the time we played motherwell on a friday night at fir park when the floodlights failed it was £10 for an adult and we had a good support that night!

At least Liam Craig will get a good reception, except when he scores his obligatory goal against us of course. :greengrin

I'm sure they recently had a midweek game at home and only managed 2.5k so the chances of them bringing decent away support is 0

School holidays, so maybe a few folk may be prepared to bring their kids along, since no school in the morning.

Thats what I will be doing anyway!

There will be more than a few regulars not there with it also being school hols. Our 2 ST seats will be empty - we made travel plans for when it was a Sat KO but when the game was moved it became another one we couldn't manage.

Yesterday's price was £20 and it made no difference to the number of Hibs fans turning up, put to shame by the Aberdeen support which was outstanding.

Too many Hibs fans quick to use an excuse for not turning up, seven of our last ten home games have been on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm and only the games against Hearts and Celtic were there more than 10k Hibs fans in the ground. As far as I'm concerned the fans are letting down the club, not the other way round, if more had turned up over the Christmas period maybe Greg Wylde would have made his debut yesterday?

Just my opinion of course

Saints home attendance midweek vs Aberdeen was around 2100. Minus the 500 or so Dons fans makes for a horrendous home turnout. Hardly surprising when the game is televised and the weather is rank. I wouldn't expect more than 200 to make the trip down on Monday.

If i remember correctly that was a meaningless game for both teams at the very end of the season, seem to remember the celtic fans also cheering when he scored obviously knowing that he was coming to them

in all honesty i hope craig doesn't play as i can remember him scoring a few goals against us in previous seasons

indeed it was, st.johnstone are paying his salary for the next few months so they are perfectly entitled to expect the full use of their own player :agree: i think it's maybe just if a player is on loan to another club that a player wouldn't play against his 'normal' club :)

That was after Riordan had scored for celtic.

Brown was brilliant in that game.

Agree and there is also a high motivation for him to play well as if he puts in a half hearted performance the Saints fans will be first to let him know about it.

:agree: and if he does score i imagine his goal celebration would be 'muted' and if not....cancel the deal :greengrin

In a ideal World football would be televised on special occasions, such as a cup final or a semi cup final and perhaps a title deciding game. From a point of convenience it is good to watch football from the comfort of your house. The problem is that there are too many football clubs that need the certain money that tv income provides. As we all know our club has been vocal about the issue of televising football and the way in which games are changed to new days with usually little warning.

I would like to see a return to fewer games being on tv. This will not happen until the clubs that are tv money addicted can be persuaded to go back to getting the bulk of their money from fans and not tv.

:top marksThis!!! Or at least games that will get a good crowd without tv! Such as derbies, title deciders and major tournaments! Having a league game between two mid-table SPL teams on a Monday night is awful for tv. Who really wants to watch it on tv? And how is this good for Hibernian? Sky are bad for putting random games on Monday's nights. I think there is a league 1 tie on tonight so that'll have a poor crowd despite it already being fairly low

I'm actually delighted that this game is now on the Monday as I'm off!

I'm working on Saturday so I wouldn't have been there if it hadn't moved.

I also don't see any way that Liam Craig won't be playing on Monday, unless he gets injured.

I can't see the problem really, it's been happening for a few years now so you just have to adapt to it. No point in planning a day off any more just look at the fixtures and take the whole week off every time Hibs are playing, what could be simpler!

wont suit a lot of people thats for sure - however on this occasion its works well being half term holiday (normal week school night not good for girls) means i'll be there + 1...

Looking forward to it - like evening floodlight footie

My guess is an attendance of less than 9500, lots of families go away at half term...

Sir David Gray

Looking at the forecast, I think the game may be in doubt.

The forecast for Sunday and Monday is for quite a considerable amount of snow in the central belt of Scotland so I wouldn't be making any definite plans at the moment.

That one was a shambles. Was stood outside the Four in Hand when someone passing by mentioned it was off and was met with laughter! Ended up spending the afternoon boozing in the Four in Hand with a great mix of Hibbies, Barnsley and Royal Antwerp(!) fans!

Hope I'm not considered a jinx if Monday's game is off!

I wonder what changes, if any, Pat will make for tomorrow's game? Clancy is touch and go, and Claros has been to South America over the last week or so!
Think Robertson may come in for Wotherspoon and possibly Doyle for Stevenson. Anyone got any ideas on what he may do
