Attendance for derby

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

What do we think the attendance will be then? I'll go for 16,500...

[Keith_M]

12,837

[Saorsa]

12,345

[Bob Box Fish]

Will depend how many they sell.

8000 or so season tickets - not sure all will bother going as its on TV / recent results being poor.

Minimum walk-up sales maybe 500 - 1000.

Guessing around 11-12k ish but could be much worse if they boycot their end.

[AndySOL1875]

Sky sports says theyve sold out their end

[Bob Box Fish]

they've sold out apparently.

Interesting. A few weeks ago there was mention of boycots as they never wanted to give us anymore money!!

They must smell blood based on our form.

[Baker9]

If they sell out their end and we can't fill the rest then it will be all the more fun for them. Losing to them is unthinkable.

[1875M]

I'm saying 13,500 max

[Sean1875]

13k-14k max. depressing.

[Bronson]

14,000 was my rough guess and I stand by that, which is a shame.

[AndySOL1875]

I booked mine the other day online and judging by the empty seats i saw, the east is not far from sold out but still plenty left towards either end of the west and FF.

[ALF TUPPER]

14k tops.
Shame so many are going to miss us stuff them. ;)

Bring it on !!

Is this the difference between us and the ****bos?

A few weeks ago we could relegate them, the rallying call goes out and instead of staying away they get a big crowd behind the team.

Situations reverse, they can inflict a wounding defeat on us but instead of rallying to the call we get people on here telling us the're not going cos we're ****, cos we'll get beat or cos they are washing their hair.:rolleyes:

Hopefully we get a big Hibs crowd out on the day.

This is the time to be a 'supporter'.

Except they didn't issue a rallying call, or get a particularly big crowd (for a derby) they didn't even sell out.

If it wasnt a sell-out it was pretty close. They must have been dreading the prospect of us sending them down but they stood behind their team and turned up in good numbers.

As a support we rarely if ever rally to the call, even when we do turn up in numbers But as you rightly say, we could have sold thousands more tickets for the PBS yet people ( so called supporters ) have better things to do or won't go cos our form is pish. I suppose that's what separates real fans from the other kind I won't brand them with a name, they know what they are

I agree with this post, come on all hibbys lets show what we are made of, lets get behind the team, mon the Hibs. our club needs us..

[Sir David Gray]

14000.

[GreenCastle]

Hibs fans have supported the teams on numerous occasions over the years and have done so very well at times - it's bad timing we are playing the yams (r) now especially after many traveled through last weekend and were let down once again.

To sell out the new year game was impressive - while the atmosphere was great that night - I was more concerned about the result.

Sunday is the same - I want a result - I'm not going to hold it against anyone not going as I can completely understand why.

It will be the last time till late 2015 at earliest the yams (r) will be in Edinburgh's best stadium so no wonder they sold out.

Let's hope the team turn up - that's the most important issue!

Well for what it's worth I'll be there. To be honest if I didn't have my season ticket I would think twice about splashing out twenty eight good ones on what will probably be another derby snorefest.

Come on The Hibees. Just do them.

There better be a big ****ing crowd, they came out in their numbers against us at home when we had the chance to relegate them and they played a part in their win, both sets of fans have completely different mind sets

Couldn't disagree more with this. If there's one thing Hibs fans have done in recent years, it's turn up and "rally to the call" time and time again, in spite of what they see week in week out. Last week in Paisley for example...? It's the team who have not turned up on many occasions. There's only so many times people can do that, receive the proverbial boot in the baws and get let down. As to your "real fans" comment...that's a bit silly imho.

[B.H.F.C]

12500. Seems very little interest considering how big a game it is.

12.500


Yip my guess is it will be around this mark

We have around 8,000 season ticket holders and around 3,900 Jambos. I would hope more than 600 Hibs pay to get in

The circumstances are different though.

They have been favourites for relegation all season, they've known for a while that they were definitely going down but they wanted to delay things for a few more days, just so we weren't the ones to put them down.

They succeeded.

We, on the other hand, had aspirations for a top six place up until around a month ago. Fast forward a few weeks and five consecutive defeats later and we're now perilously close to being involved in a relegation play off at the end of the season. The fans are totally sickened and apathy has well and truly kicked in at Easter Road.

I'll be there on Sunday (I even got my shifts swapped so I could go) but I can fully understand why many people will choose to do other things on Sunday afternoon.

Not even sure every season ticket holder will turn up. As I saw someone else say it's all very, very low key.

The difference is we had players coming back for that game and we thought we could win it .The run we have been on doesn't foster belief we can win it and some fans won't have the Stomach to go and potentially see a fourth defeat at their hands in a season they are going down .The thought of them celebrating and on our pitch rubbing it in that we will be going down.with them is not something we would want to experience .
I however will be there playing my part supporting the Team as for me we need something to turn and it has to be in this game .If we can't motivate ourselves for this one then it gives out the message that even the fans don't believe we can win it .think if decent weather I and we persuade others to come attendance can creep up to 15 to 16 thousand but it will be a test of nerve and interest I haven't lost either but sadly a lot of folk appear to and words alone are not going to persuade folk to return it's going to take a performance from the Team

Sorry we all can't be as good as you. Think I've been to about every game I could this year (them all bar Saturdays) and will not be going on Sunday as I think I have enjoyed it about twice. If you want to go fine and brand me what you want but it shouldn't make any difference who is watching these impostors get paid way more than me to win football games and entertain and they do neither.

[hibeesjoe]

The tramps had the last derby down as 16,873, considering we sold out our end there must have been a few of them came dressed as seats. My guess is about 16,500 for Sunday.

[davhibby]

No matter how many of us are there on Sunday, we need to make as much noise as possible from the off. Show everyone how much this club means to us

[kaimendhibs]

Of course I will be there. We are in a dogfight and we need backing. C'mon, let's fill the place

I personally won't be there, as gave away my season ticket for Aberdeen game and really not been too rushed to get it back.

I'll watch from the comfort of my living room, but will still be supporting the team however crap we are currently, and we are crap right now.

I would not berate anyone who can't or won't go as there are many reasons why people don't attend. For me a point stuck in my head was at work with my sauzee mug and boss mentioned it, I replied that was when we had footballers in the team worthy of the shirt. Now, Im Just fed up of seeing dross, especially the likes of players who can't get a game for notts county but can up here, is this how bad Scottish football has become - more than likely.

Hopefully we will survive and see a investment to overhaul this squad as have faith in TB, but until then I'll be holding back my renewal. Petrie and Farmer have made more than enough money from hibs, time they put something back.

do you honestly believe that STF and RP have made a lot of money from Hibs? I disagree however this thread Is about going to the derby and supporting our team when they need us, I will be there as we can not invest if we don't back them.

we need most hibbys to pack out ER, show what we are made off, Mon the Hibs

[Thecat23]

Have to admit we were quick enough to pack Tynecastle because we thought we'd send them down. Now that our own team needs us more than ever we find ourselves playing in another home derby where there will be plenty empty seats.

One thing I will say is they at least come out In numbers when needed. I bet ER would be empty if Hearts were in a position to out us down. About time we grew some balls.

With all due respect you can't just support a team when they have "good" players. We are poor yes but this is when we should be backing the side.

You say you will "support" them from the comfort of your living room. Sorry that isn't actually supporting the team is it when you could actually go. Not having a go at you as it's your call, but you are contradicting yourself a bit.

I always hark back to the League Cup semi against Rangers when we beat them on pens. One of the best Hibs supports I have been in, not in terms of numbers but in terms of quality. Maybe 7000 of us but the backing was immense.

Contrast that with the final when we had thousands who weren't going back after the Livi defeat and couldn't even recognise Hibs players by name.

I'm confident that the Hibs supporters that do go on Sunday will back the club to the hilt in these desperate times.

If folk are more comfortable watching Hibs from the comfort of their living rooms when they could easily be at the game then IMO that's where they should stay. Let the real foot soldiers get on with the job.

It would be great if we could pack the place out but its time for the players to turn up and deliver a performance worthy of the famous green tops .

Ok maybe I should be more honest, ken what im fed up over the passed three years watching rubbish. Id rather stay at home than watch the current over paid under performing players that have the cheek to be called hibs players.

If i kept under performing at work id get sacked. Not in football though, still get their wages.

With regards to support, if we had 10k, 20k or a 100k it still wouldn't matter. That aint going to change their ability and as we have seen under two managers this season they don't have it.

Id rather watch in the house that way I can turn over to the EPL game should the need arise.

Like I say your call. We are all in the same boat after watching dross year in year out. But I do believe a vocal support can only help than a half empty stadium. Yes we have all been let down more than we'd like to remember but this could be the last derby in a long time. If I didn't go and we won if be devastated.

Whilst I can understand your general point it is imo, inherrently flawed.

removing the financial problems we would encounter from only having 7,000 at a game; some people have other priorities. I was at that game at hampden(and every other game in that cup run), but I won't be there on Sunday and in fact I've only been 4 times this season. The reason being I now have two kids and a mortgage, so 28 buck and losing one of my two days I spend with my children is too much for my wallet.

it's not that I care any less than I did, just my circumstances have changed. I was planning on taking my 4 yo to the Partick game, do I need approval first? He might bot sing as much as one of the diehards.

It is a hard one to call, and would love nothing more than a hibs win trust me on that one.

I applaud everyone who's going but personally my season has finished. Hopefully we remain and see some signs for next season being better, maybe take a note out of Aberdeens book and spend a little more, as need to spend money to make money/success.

I applaud everyone who's going but personally my season has finished. Hopefully we remain and see some signs for next season being better, maybe take a note out of Aberdeens book and spend a little more, as need to spend money to make money/success.

P.s im not asking for the games I haven't made from hibs so my financial support is still there.

Whilst I can understand your general point it is imo, inherrently flawed.

removing the financial problems we would encounter from only having 7,000 at a game; some people have other priorities. I was at that game at hampden(and every other game in that cup run), but I won't be there on Sunday and in fact I've only been 4 times this season. The reason being I now have two kids and a mortgage, so 28 buck and losing one of my two days I spend with my children is too much for my wallet.

it's not that I care any less than I did, just my circumstances have changed. I was planning on taking my 4 yo to the Partick game, do I need approval first? He might bot sing as much as one of the diehards.

If you read my post again you will see that I stated those that could easily make the game but choose not to.

I have posted several times in the past that financially, work related or family obligations are always genuine reasons not to go to a game. I am getting at the ones who simply can't be bothered.

No need for the cutting remark either.

I don't think my argument is flawed at all.

Well in relation to this all, Would you go back to a restaurant that kept serving inedible food?

This game reminds me of the Derby at the end if the '98 season when we were adrift at the foot of the table. We'd just been royally rogered at Ibrox and Hearts were still going for the league title. We won that one and we'll win this one. It's what we do. When we expect to win we usually get a kick in the hee-haws. When we expect a drubbing, we pull a win out the bag.

How sweet will it be when we beat them and put a bit of breathing space between us and the play off? Miss it at your peril!

Completely different. It's your football team. That mentality is reserved for man utd and chelsea "fans" not real football fans. We are serving up dross but if we can give them the support we can maybe serve up a cracker and pump the jambos! Come on the hibees!

No I wouldn't. But then I wouldn't celebrate for days and weeks if that same restaurant won a Michelin Star. I don't claim to bleed the colours of that restaurant's chosen livery. I don't sing songs about the restaurant and I don't travel just to eat wherever the food from that restaurant is being served that weekend.

There's a big difference between being a customer and being a supporter. I'm the latter. It doesn't matter to me what Hibs do as long as I have the money I'll buy a season ticket every season and I'll go to as many away games as I can manage as well.

Not supporting Hibs isn't an option for me, I'll do it forever more because I love this club!

:top marks

Agreed whole-heartedly. Yes it's grim at times but it's what we do.

There are many ways and means to protest about how the club is run / performing, but for me, not turning up to support the players once they cross that white line isn't an option.

Nope wouldn't go that far :-) but just as said fed up with the Ground Hog day....hopefully something will happen next season and still in the SPFL (even though will be a even worse product). But as said my time for this season is up.

And seems to us that the supporters are always having to put our money in - as said before - we're is Petrie and Farmers cash ? - They've made a few bob from Hibs - where is the return, ooh lets make Partick cheaper and put on a bus or two on a Tuesday night...

Well maybe you could just say i'm not in as much love as i used to be....

[Thecat23]

Watch them when we win? That's a good one. I have not seen many wins for my season ticket in the last few seasons.

Either have I. I'm still going because for me I think we could win this. I just find it strange that folk who can go and have a season ticket but aren't could end up regretting it.

I honestly think that's the difference in both sets of fans. If we had won the last derby Hearts were down yet they packed it out. Now we are firmly in the **** we decide not to go.

That's kind of how a business works. We should only be spending what comes in. And if people like you stay away then we'll have even less money to spend. There's no point complaining about Hibs not spending money they don't have.

Every business needs the income from its customers to survive, and fans are the equivalent for a football club.

As regards the money that Farmer and Petrie have made from Hibs, Caversham Green has the actual figures which disprove that.

The hot blonde behind the counter, who incidentally had no idea that she is referred to as the hot blonde by all the perverts on hibs.net until I informed her, says that sales have been slow but expects a lot of walk ups on Sunday morning...I guess around 13,000 tops

I'm going coz erm .... I support Hibs, Hibs need to win, its a derby and no matter how much I shout at the telly in my heart of hearts I know its not going to turn our current bunch of losers into winners ...... not that me being there is likely to do that either :greengrin

If, as seems likely, there are a few thousand empty seats I for one wont judge the missing fans too harshly ..... Folk are just sick and some have reached the end of their tether ...... all that can be hoped is that one day things will turn around and folk will come back.

If anybody wants to complain about a lack of Hibbies on Sunday then point the finger not at the apathetic but at those who are the cause of that apathy:

A team of players who are unable to compete at even bottom 6 level and who have failed to muster even a shot on goal in some home games.

A board of directors who are failing to make the club competitive on the pitch ..... failing on an ever consistant basis in fact.

An owner who thinks that his job was done 24 years ago and that he is absolved of any responsibility to do anything other than sit on his hands as the club becomes a laughing stock and all but the most committed fans drift away.

I live in hope that from somewhere our lot will somehow manage to dredge up a result on Sunday ...... Its just hope, because there has been no sign for weeks now that they could possibly win such an important game.

By all accounts I will have at least 6000 seats to myself in the East stand, I hope I shout loud enough to be heard over the 4k yams.

think if you look back they never packed it out at the last derby think it was about 16300, off which we had about 3600, so its a fallacy to say they packed it out. if you keep saying that they will believe it thats what these goons are like.

I beg to differ, if hearts had suffered as we have in recent years they would be playing to crowds of 7000...Hibs fans should be applauded for sticking by the club when you consider the years of under achievement we have had to endure. Hearts are still enjoying the thrill of 20 odd years of derby domination regardless of whatever else they have allowed to happen to their club, furthermore they have been galvanised by their recent brush with death in much the same way as any fan base would be. Do you think that their crowds would keep coming back for more in the way the Hibs support does if the roles were reversed? Hibs fans have nothing to feel ashamed of, we have consistantly supported the club despite the teams on the park letting us down all too often....I spent a season working in the refreshment shed at tynie when they were in the old first division and I remember their crowds were dire....success brings out the fairweather fans in any club, hearts are no different.

[RoxburghHibs]

There was an article recently in a newspaper about a derby at Tynecastle from the 1980's where if Hibs won Hearts would be relegated. The match ended in a draw but the attendance that day was only 10,000.

The players need to get the tempo high and get the fans behind them from the start

Too many to count. The only sold out sections are the middle of the East and West. The rest of the stadium. Going to need a massive amount of walk ups to get anywhere near a sell out.

Ah but less fans booing. Maybe allow the players to express themselves.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

The result tomorrow is more important than the attendance. Oh and I will be there giving the Yams dogs abuse. Whatever that is because I've never abused a dug.

[GreenCastle]

The result is more important than the attendance.

Tomorrow there will be plenty of gaps in the 20,000 + modern seated stadium - shame as a better team and more forward thinking board would see it close to full again.

The yams (R) will sing what a ***** support - will it bother me no.

What will bother me is if I turn up once again tomorrow and the players hide or don't show up and put in a performance which is long over due.

There will no doubt be a thread on here about the crap attendance - hopefully that's over shadowed with posts about how well each player did tomorrow instead and how TB got his tactics spot on.

[B.H.F.C]

Don't really care if they want to sing about empty seats. It does bother me that there will be thousands of empty seats though. Only reason for that is that I thought the new year derby was the best atmosphere in years at Easter Road. We ain't gonna get that tomorrow.
