Now that the top and bottom 6 teams have been confirmed anyone know when the fixtures will be announced? Would make sense for them to sort this quickly to allow fans time to plan for travel etc

Sir David Gray

It would be the sensible thing to do in order to maximise the chance of people being able to go to games as they have more time to plan their travel etc.

I'll bet the fixtures will be announced just after the last round of fixtures before the split are played.

They will announce them and then change them again in a few weeks time to suit TV.

Other than the derby, I can't see the TV companies having any interest in the bottom six fixtures so at least we won't get jerked around too much.

Have to disagree E . The battle to avoid the play off spot will involve some tv games .

There are good battles for second and fourth, and the TV companies will want to show a couple of Septic and Sevco Huns games which means very limited opportunities to show the bottom sides.

Can't imagine much demand for St Mirren vs Ross County or Hibs vs Partick.

In no order - This would mean a fair balance of 2 home and away - but knowing our league they will make it so we have 3 away games.

Partick - H
St Mirren - A
Yams - H
Killie H
Ross County A

That would give us 20 games at home an 18 away, so more likely Partick or Killie will be away.

I've been holding off booking a few nights away as I was hoping not to miss another home game from my season ticket, can't see any reason why they are not available yet. No thoughts given to fans, especially those with kids on school holidays who may want to make travel plans etc.

After next weekend the worst case scenario looks like this

Kilmarnock 36 points
Hibs 34 points
County 34 points
Partick 33 points
St Mirren 31 points
Them f*****

For me St Mirren are the team that we want to lose as many games as possible, if we could beat Aberdeen it would be a huge kick in the nuts for the rest of these teams especially if one of them gets beaten.

I think Killie and County will be safe and would hope we get them last when they've nothing to play for and already beat St Mirren and Thistle. I've said many times now. The key is the St Mirren game. Lose that and we are in bother.

Results better go our way this weekend, if not we better get 3 points on Monday night or we really can get dragged in to this play-off position.

Friday night. Ross County vs ICT.

Saturdays games that affect us are.

Killie vs St Js
Partick Thistle vs them
St Mirren vs Motherwell

As it sands just now in the bottom 6.

Hibs 34 pts
Killie 33 pts
Ross C. 31 pts.
Partick 30 pts.
St. Mirren 28 pts.

Looking at that got to hope that Motherwell get 3 points from the buddies.

Derby Sunday lunchtime, Ross County away on a Wednesday and St Mirren away the weekend of Easter (although it had to be one game), it's almost as if the SPFL want crowds to be as low as possible.

That number will now increase to 6 because of this.

Also, 20 home games and 18 away is a bit of a joke, I'm sure the fans that don't bother with all away games won't mind but I much prefer away games in all honesty and I'm rather annoyed by that.

Who do the SPFL employ to do this? I could do a better job with a fixture list drafted in half an hour, 3 trips to the highlands midweek within 2 seasons. Shambles, utter shambles.

My Predictions this would give us 5 points and we have a better goal difference than St Mirren who would have to take 12 points from last 5 games to overtake us which wont happen looking at St Mirrens fixtures they play yams last game of season lets hope we are safe before the last game.

Not sure it does. Hibs as a team can go up the night before to prepare if they choose.

I am thinking about the fans that want to travel. We will not take up huge numbers but it makes it a lot easier for those that do want to go up.

My Predictions this would give us 5 points and we have a better goal difference than St Mirren who would have to take 12 points from last 5 games to overtake us which wont happen looking at St Mirrens fixtures they play yams last game of season lets hope we are safe before the last game.

Your forgetting this weekends games tho??? This is correct if both us and st midden lose this weekend...highly likely in our case :(

IF we lose our next 3 games were in deep keek. A win against St Mirren puts it to bed though in my opinion.

Derby Sunday lunchtime, Ross County away on a Wednesday and St Mirren away the weekend of Easter (although it had to be one game), it's almost as if the SPFL want crowds to be as low as possible.

That number will now increase to 6 because of this.

Also, 20 home games and 18 away is a bit of a joke, I'm sure the fans that don't bother with all away games won't mind but I much prefer away games in all honesty and I'm rather annoyed by that.

Who do the SPFL employ to do this? I could do a better job with a fixture list drafted in half an hour, 3 trips to the highlands midweek within 2 seasons. Shambles, utter shambles.
St Mirren away is an hour. A trip to Ross County is 3 and a half which is nothing compared to what teams in England and on the continent endure almost weekly. Deary me.

The other teams have to play each other though. It's not a given that they'll win the matches they need, they can't all pick up 3 points in each match.

I think the point here is that the SPL have a free Saturday that they could have used to play post-split bottom 6 fixtures. Surely that is a better option for all teams and supporters?

I have no problem with the distance; I would have went to Dingwall on a Saturday but can't make it midweek.

sorry my mistake St Mirren home to Motherwell this weekend nighmare scenario is they win and we loose to Aberdeen then if they beat us when we play them then we would be level on points with them after that game but still ahead on goal difference going into our home fixture v hear7s

Sun 12:45 27 April: Hibs v Hearts (BT Sports)
Sat 15:00 03 May: Hibs v Partick
Wed 19:45 07 May: Ross County v hibs (midweek ffs)
Sat 12:15 10 May: Hibs v Killie (possible TV)

Gutted the last game is 12:15. Another game I'll miss despite having a season ticket. Would've made it if it had been a 3pm kick off!

Here are all the games till end of the season. (strangely they have the Partick game down for Friday 3pm?!)

Lots of talk of St Mirren but I have a feeling Partick may be the team to end up 11th...unless our form continues :rolleyes:

St Mirren up first might be a good thing. Win that game and we should be home an dry. Also would mean they will be absolutely shot to pieces.

A defeat though.... :paranoid:

Hopefully get a big Hibs crowd through and give them some backing to get 3 points.

Our team will let us down as usual! After the last 13 games I'm going to predict we win zero games!
Poor defence, ***** forward line, Butcher doesn't play his best midfield, we are brutal at home and crap away plus don't score goals or keep clean sheets.
Defo two tough games to start, wage thiefs!

Those first two are the killers.

Win the first against St M and it's game over. Get beat and the pressure will be immense for the Yam fest.

Agreed Onion. Do you think we can sell out the derby again? A packed ER could be just the ticket to lift the team if ST Mirren beat us.

I'm hoping Motherwell can do us a favour by beating St Mirren before the split because I can't see us beating the Sheep on Monday. I won't be holding my breath though considering Celtic could only draw with Ross County FFS last week. Is it just sods law that when we need other teams to do us a "favour" it never happens? Another example being Motherwell losing at home to Killie last week to a goal in 96th minute! Anyway, assuming St Mirren & Hibs both lose at the weekend/Monday there's not too much damage done. Then, even a Hibs draw against St Mirren would not be a bad result.

If we can't handle the pressure and beat st mirren then to be honest we will only have ourselves top blame if we end up in playoff .That is now a must win game as hearts won't try a leg in the last game of season against them so pencil saints in for three points against them then also st mirren have more chance of taking something from Motherwell at home at weekend than we do off Aberdeen .if they were to beat Motherwell they would then know a win at home against us puts them level with us .It's certainly going to cause excitement looking at opponents results but I for one could of done without this yet again .But ironically in our hour of need I am more likely to go to games than if we were comfortable in 7 th .

I'd stake my house on it going to the last day. Can't see us winning any games but maybe scrape a couple of draws and being a point above St Mirren going into the final fixtures. So we would need to beat Killie or hope Hearts do us a favour...

Yes, I'm aware of that, I can't make that game as I am away with friends for that weekend and it has been arranged long before now, however, the Ross County game I can't make because I have an exam that finishes at 4:00 that day, if it had been any other bottom six team or an away game, it'd be no trouble whatsoever, as well as the fact that it could have been played on the Saturday which would further increase the attendance. As I mentioned in the previous post, I attend absolutely every away game that I can, and made it to the Inverness game away midweek aswell, I think I know how long it takes to get there.

Deary me.

Certainly heaps a bit of pressure on us. If we can beat St Mirren then it's job done. If not, our confidence goes from extremely low to non existent. At the same time St Mirren would obviously take a lot of hope. I don't believe that we have the players to beat Hearts when we really need to and if the St Mirren result isn't a positive one for us, Hearts will do us again. Given the spirit in this squad, I must admit I'm very very worried.

If we have another chance of relegating the Yams, it will be packed. If the Yams fail with their CVA, it will be packed. If the Yams get their CVA, but already relegated, then only Hibs fans with the strongest stomachs will go along, as it's on TV.

The only team Hibs could relegate are themselves at the moment. You look at the fixtures and I don't see where the points are going to come from. Maybe st mirren and thistle but I reckon other teams will do us favours rather than us making ourselves safe.

Strong stomachs required to go along to a home derby match? Dearie me. If the Yams do get their CVA but are already relegated do you think that is a victory for them? In that situation their relegation is as a direct result of their financial shenanigans. Too many people are falling in to the trap of thinking that anything other than liquidation means they got off scot free. No matter what the situation is for the final Derby we should be going along to rub their noses in it.

But surely liquidation for us would be better. Technically the new club will have won nothing. No more five ones, which would be pleasing

There's a lot to play out before the 27th which will dictate the mood of both teams and sets of fans for that day.

Only if St Mirren lose their next three games (against Motherwell, us and Partick Thistle) and Hearts win their next two games (against Partick Thistle and Ross County).

Then if we take anything from them on the 27th, they'll be relegated at Easter Road.

There's no way all of that will happen.

A lot of yaks are actually saying that they are looking forward to playing in the lower league! It's real head in the sand stuff, or just sheer bravado and bull****. Relegation is a disaster for any club. Don't let them kid you on as regards that. They are just kidding themselves.
