I've tweeted the announcer and the club to say keep it till the end - IMO Sunshine on Leith before a game is rubbish and best kept till the end however, what would be special is if we sang it 5mins before the end of the game unaided by music!!!!

This is a truly brilliant effort by the Hibs fans at the end of a terrible season. We have been woeful all year and we manage tae pull in a full house. Wee team right enough, we keep disproving that, yet the puddle drinkers keep a hold of that one for some reason.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Best fans in the world.

[Bronson]

If you ever needed an example of the potential this club has, this is it. Selling out the home end and even taking an allocation in the designated away end due to demand for a game in a situation we're all a bit embarrassed to be in. Not many clubs in Scotland could pull in the kind of support we do, especially in such sh*tty circumstances.

Truly outstanding, good times are on the horizon, I can feel it.:tbgwa:

Fair play to all making the effort.

Blows all the nonsense you hear from Hearts ***** about us never being able to fill ER right out the water. Imagine if tickets were reasonably priced every week and we had a decent team worth watching...

Agree with all the above. Forget all this "third force" stuff, we easily have the potential to be the "second force" next season if our loyalty is anything to go by.

Sorry "guests" but wee second tier teams who lie about their attendances and cheat are not worthy of consideration.

[Russ]

I have to say that under the circumstances to get what is effectively a sell-out (before the additional South tickets were made available) is a stunning effort and reflects the potential that this football club has. I've loved it when Easter Road was full earlier in the season, it's a fantastic place to be when it's busy.

I hope the players get a massive lift from seeing us all there in such huge numbers and that they appreciate the link between effort and courage on their part, and backing on our part.

Let's roar us to safety folks, then get Easter Road full next season for the right reasons.


Sorry Matty I have to disagree, at £10 and £5 a ticket if we can't sell out at those prices it's a sad state of affairs. The turn out in the last derby at ER was an embarrassment if you ask me. We sold out our allocation for Tynie to see them relegated but we couldn't turn out in numbers to help save ourselves? Too many were on here saying they wouldn't be back this season or in the near future because they had been let down once too often?

They seem to be the ones making all the noises about us pushing the boat out to pay big wages etc but they won't commit their own money or support, unless we are winning of course. Tin helmet is firmly on, it's as well I'm away oot :).

[Onceinawhile]

A sell out won't get butcher any money at all. We only get 25 percent of the gate. The spfl get 50 percent and hamilton 25. We need to put in the 75 percent of the cost for our 8,000 season ticket holders who are getting in for free.

6,000 @ 10
2,000 @ 5

Is 70,000 of which 75 percent is 52,500.

Even of we sell the other 12,500 @ 10, we'd only make 31,250. Before costs!!

[Hermit Crab]

Hopefully Ms Dempster is alert to this. Lower prices mean bumper crowds. Money will be made and all we need now is a decent team on the park. Exciting few months ahead should we negotiate this 2nd leg successfully. :aok:

[GreenCastle]

Hibs fans on 4 sides of the stadium is always awesome!

Players responded well to the positive backing midweek - lets hope we are the 12th player again Sunday and get them over the finish line and rebuild for next season.

Hopefully anyone sitting on the fence or fed up with Hibs will make the effort to come along Sunday and get the positive vibes back going into a summer of change.

Thought this had been discussed on another thread. SOL should be held over for happier times ... there is a feel good factor about this game because we have a lead to hold on to and because once again the supporters of this club have rallied to the cause.

Lets not forget two things ...... 1) The tie is not over 2) We are in this position because we have been Ertha Kitt all season.

If we are out of sight with 10 minutes to go on Sunday I would prefer a chant all around the ground of Leeann, Leeann sort it out, Leeeeannnn sort it out.

As I said on that other thread ........... the avoidance of failure is not success.

Have you considered changing your username to Nae Nookie? Surely that must be the reason for such a negative post.

NOBODY is saying Hibs will achieve something marvelous IF we avoid getting relegated. What I do think worth celebrating is the fantastic support that has been knocked at every turn. Maybe SOL is the wrong song to sing but, considering the lyrics, it somehow seems appropriate if we could avoid relegation then kick on from here.

Pat Fenlon said that Hibs, as a club, had maybe lost some of its identity. If the club is confused about it's identity, then just look to the fans and take a leaf out of their book.

Can't agree with that - despite the fact it's £10, the game is on the telly and we're 2-0 up going into the game. It would have been easy for folk to give it a miss, especially when you consider how bad we've been this season.

I don't think if Killie, Partick or St Mirren had been in this position that they'd have sold out.

[lumbo_hfc]

Sunshine On Leith at the beginning or/and end of game will be something specialbefore the game yes, after the game no, that would be like we are celebrating something worthy of this song, which we are not!! Before the game is to give the players encouragement. After the game, i hope the players applaud the crowd then head down the tunnel (the majority of them) for the last time and don't even think about doing a lap of the pitch!!! Butcher punching the air in relief of thursday was cringeworthy considering it's mostly his fault, unless this is part of his masterplan....

I hate the word "cringeworthy". Butcher had every right to be pleased. I agree with the no lap of honour assuming we stay up and no "SoL" though. Leave that for celebrations."I'm on My Way" would be more appropriate hopefully :flag:

I didnt understand that when he said it and I dont understand it now. Every Hibby I know kens the clubs identity just fine and its history .... as far as I can see my posts have been fully in praise of the Hibs support, IMO we ARE the clubs identity and its soul. That side of Hibernian FC is in bloody good health if the evidence of the last two years is anything to go by.

But ..... I dont want outsiders looking in to think that beating little Hamilton Accies to avoid the season ending in utter disaster is something that the club thinks is worth celebrating .... all we should be feeling is utter relief .... not pride or joy.

I certainly hope Pat wasnt suggesting we should be 're discovering our identity' in the style of the lesser Greens ........... I presume not.

Cringworthy maybe not the right word, glad to see him happy but thought it was over the top for the situation we were in, clapping his hands towards both stands, thanking them for still backing them after what we have been through would have been plenty!! If we win on sunday, it will be a quick applause for that one match then won't be back.... Until next season:wink:

[One Day Soon]

Right, that's four tickets bought for the One Day Soon family in the South stand. First ever game for ODS nippers 1 and 2. They are beside themselves with excitement. Mrs One Day Soon is less keen, but she has to help mind them.

Queue mental search of house by nippers for hibs colours etc. I have waited and waited and thought long and hard about when to first inflict Hibs upon them. I hope its an atmosphere and a celebration that will stay long in their memories.

[camhibby1]

6,000 @ 10
2,000 @ 5

Is 70,000 of which 75 percent is 52,500.

Even of we sell the other 12,500 @ 10, we'd only make 31,250. Before costs!!

I am thrilled to be at Easter Road on Sunday to roar the Hibees on. I didn't buy a season ticket this year because I would miss the season from August to December (at work in South Africa). I went to football matches in J'berg, Cape Town, Durban & Port Elizabeth. The Kaiser Chiefs of Soweto v Ajax Cape Town at the Olympic Stadium was a sell out - 56,000 at that match and the most expensive ticket was £15. I recognise that comparisons are invidious but what I would say is that it's not only football that is overpriced in the UK - everything is. The public have been taken for a ride for the last 30 years - supermarkets; utility companies; banks, household service companies - the whole bang shooting match - they are now being told to f..k off. We have been ripped off time and again - we have and will continually wise up to what we are expected to pay and what we shall not. Hibs will always have my support but I am no longer willing to be ripped off. Yes I will renew my season ticket for next year but will not be ripped off any longer. C'mon the Hibs.

Well done, always a tough call when to start! My boy was 3 when we moved to London, 30 + years on Hibs are in his DNA. Sometimes when we're particularly keek he has a go at me for passing on the poisoned chalice, which very occasionally is full of nectar! However, this is what we are & a 5-1 at Hampden or a 7-0 ( wherever! ) compensates for the dross. Have a great day & apologise at the same time! :greengrin

[madhibby]

Looks good but shouldn't deter Hibs fans from getting tickets. I am sure if Hibs sell out the two lower tiers of the South stand then the two top tiers will also be made available as Hamilton were only going to be given access to this area if they sold out the 1900 seats that were available to them. They didn't do that with the Hamilton support expected to be around 1000 (which is a much larger away support for Hamilton than normal)

[Hermit Crab]

A solitary seat has appeared in the f5 upper block 23. :grr:

Little bit of both, basket time outs and some ST's members are moving there seats to get seats together in south etc so there seat will then become available again. I think?

Can we just close this thread please. I have been to every home game this season including one I had to to ******ing pay extra for and can't make Sunday.

I am recording without the extra time bit and trying to get back next Thursday without knowing the score. Enjoy everybody. Just enjoy and give it the biggest Terry Butcher's Green and White Army is coming to get you next year. I am 54 and should know better. Also been drinking before I go on holidays.

Supporters Coach parking on Sunday - all in London Road.

All supporters please be aware of some traffic restrictions in Edinburgh on Sunday due to the Edinburgh Marathon, but this is expected to be finished by game time, and is not on the Easter Road vicinity, but will affect some travel elsewhere in the city.

Bless em.

I want us to win ..... obviously. But I hate that its at the expense of the folk who stick by the likes of Hamilton ...... I would much rather see us kicking the erse of the Yams, sellik or the Sheep. Hope they enjoy their day ... just so long as its not doing us any harm of course.

Hello 240 guests.

[down-the-slope]

pretty stunned at how many seats are sold... looking like biggest hibs support at ER for decades

[Waxy]

14 seats left between the west and FF.

[GreenCastle]

:agree:

It's getting out of hand now :greengrin

Let's fill half the South also - can't wait to see the stadium full of green and white :top marks Always a great buzz around ER when it's full.

[Hibs90]

Really need to stop leaving it till the day before with these things. Almost had to sit in the south there :greengrin

[Gus Fring]

I wonder why they haven't announced the west as sold out when there's less seats than the F5

Could be because there's still hospitality available?

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Please, please give us an early goal Hibs. Let us enjoy it for once

[FranckSuzy]

[007 Mickey Weir]

Yes how many dots in south please! :-)

[monktonharp]

I would expect the club will wait until the West and FF are sold out before announcing anything about the South Stand - would look a bit daft to announce it as being open and then not selling the remaining ones in other stands.
you have been a naughty boy, hav'nt you.?:wink: we always thought they would open up the remaining seats in the Dunbar end if it gets close to a sell out for the rest.say what you want about Petrie, but business is business:greengrin

[monktonharp]

Very proud as always in the Hibs support. The resilience shown to keep coming back in large numbers to back the team in testing times shows while our faith may have been tested our loyalty remains. Up to the incoming chief executive to try tap into the large supporter base. what you have just said, sums it up ;for me. I have always thought that our loyalty to our team is unsurpassed,given the numbers that still turn up at ER. not forgetting the hard core of fans that continually turn out at away games,be it early sunday/midweek up north etc. these guys sometimes should get a medal for being there. there are are 2 or 3 branches that continually do it...Carlton,4 in hand,Southern etc and our own wee branch occassionaly if we can at least half full a bus! there are are lots of others who chose to travel away, by train, by car and from all ends of Scotland and England,Wales/Ireland . I am sometimes amazed at the numbers that turn up, when you look back at the amount of times we have been scunnered by results. Hibernian, have a certain penache, a certain way, a positive possibility of letting you down and yet we still go. kicked in the baws? yup, it's in our making. gie' up, naw, we always have something in our make up that tells us.....our day will surely come. deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome (martin luther king)

[Boyle89]

Just got 4 in the south stand next to the Hamilton fans. Hope we win so I don't have to suffer their crap aswell as their smell ;). Last time I was in the south was Maribor I think.

I disagree, it's both price and occasion.

Like many others I am going because it's the play-off and the club need the support, I feel compelled to go and help us stay up.

Would I go if it's £28, not a chance, in fact expecting fans to pay £28 to support the players, whose own ineptitude caused them to be in this situation, would be like a slap in the face IMO. £10, 100% I will be there.

[Ringothedog]

We will never know unless we go round everyone who has got a ticket and ask them individually whether they would have gone to the game at full price. So lets enjoy the fact that there will be nearly 18k Hibees in the ground regardless of the price :aok:

[lucky]

It's been some season. 10 months ago we were playing Malmo with 500 fans over there, now as we scrap for survival we are heading for a sell out against the Accies. The Hibs support just keeps turning up. But to be fair the crowd for this game has been boosted by ST holders getting in free and a tenner for the rest. Small gesture by the club but they got it right.

[Ringothedog]

Hibs will make a loss on this game as the cost of ST holders getting in free has to be covered as well as all other costs such as spfl etc.

No it won't. We're making a loss on the game. A substantial one.

[matty_f]

No it won't. We're making a loss on the game. A substantial one.

I'm not sure that will still be the case given the number of tickets shifted now. There can't be that many of the crowd with season tickets - maybe 1/2 at most I would guess. I think if we'd had our regular crowd, the club would have made a loss but I'd like to think that we've covered that with the number of tickets shifted.

[Golden Bear]

No it won't. We're making a loss on the game. A substantial one.

The play off games would not have formed part of the budgetary planning process and even with reduced admission prices, I'd fully expect that the income will outweigh the costs involved.

As I understand it, all the money from the play off games goes into a pot, then once costs etc are removed the teams involved get a share of what's left.
As a result of Hibs covering the season tickets for this game they will need to put 8000ish tenners into the pot out of their own pocket.... I read that the other teams didn't let in their ST holders free for exactly that reason.... Hopefully the sell out means that at least the "8000"cost is covered.

But surely the play off games did not form part of the planned season ticket package so it will be treated as "additional income" rather than an additional subsidised "cost" to the Club?

Top idea and will do likewise for my laddie and me if that is the case

[The_Exile]

We'll probably be taking an approx. £70-80k financial hit for letting ST's in for nothing (assuming Hibs will have to pay for their own ST holders to attend), I'd think we won't be making any money out of the game whatsoever. Remember we'll have policing, stewards, other regular matchday expenditure to pay too.

Even after costs come off I can't see us making any money, assuming the SPFL will be expecting a payment reflecting a full stadium, I'm not sure we could give them considerably less after letting ST's in for nowt as they will be using the cash as a parachute payment?

I just can't get my head round this one at all.

For a start it's a very big ASSUMPTION that every single season ticket holder will attend the play off game therefore the Club MUST cover the supposed "costs" for allowing each and every one of the season ticket holders to attend?

Am I missing something here?

I don't get this one either? I would of thought Hibs would make a small gain as this is an additional match not originally factored into the ST price, unless the costs of staging the game outweigh the share of the income from non ST sales. Dunno if there is any additional TV money for this game also?

Just donate through at Kids for Kicks. This allows a young disadvantaged child to go to the games and every penny is given to the managers fund. Lots of people do this but more are very welcome.

A sell out won't get butcher any money at all. We only get 25 percent of the gate. The spfl get 50 percent and hamilton 25. We need to put in the 75 percent of the cost for our 8,000 season ticket holders who are getting in for free.

6,000 @ 10
2,000 @ 5

Is 70,000 of which 75 percent is 52,500.

Even of we sell the other 12,500 @ 10, we'd only make 31,250. Before costs!!

Even if only 6,000 st holders turn up and 4,000 are adults that's 37,500 we need to put into the pot.

That's the equivalent of 15,000 adults paying full price.

I'm not sure if hibs will make any (or much) money on the day, however by getting a big crowd through the door which must obviously include fans that don't go every week, if we get the result and the atmosphere is good maybe some of those fans will come to more games next season or consider buying a ST.

Also if the big crowd can help hibs stay in the top division who knows how much we'll be better off financially. Especially if you consider that if we go down there's no guarantee we'd be straight back up after 1 season.

[alexhibs]

Ticket booked online and printed off, set off from Ellesmere Port about 10am the morra, buzzing. I know we have been rank rotten but when it comes to Hibs, regardless of how bad we are at moment I can't help but be excited about going to Easter Road. Should be some noise the morra and hopefully we can get it over and done with early doors. Do we celebrate if we stay up? Too right we do!!!

The stand is split down the middle between us and accies as far as I'm aware.

or maybe not... I'm unsure now after reading this on the official site. "The South Stand will be split vertically with Hibernian supporters occupying the upper and lower tier in the section closest to the East Stand."

[Aldo]

have we only got 2 sections in that stand do you mean? The stand is split down the middle between us and accies as far as I'm aware.

So does this mean we have sold this half with the remainder has you mentioned??

But season tickets are tickets sold.

I don't think the calculations can be based on number of season tickets sold, but on number of season ticket holders who actually attend. If it's true that Hamilton/Falkirk/QoS charged their season ticket holders to attend the play-off fixtures, shirley they will be paying over 25% of the actual money collected at the games?

On this basis, Dempster will now put a statement on the fishy site asking season ticket holders not to attend, as by doing so they will cost the club money.

[HibbyKeith]

i reckon the two sections they opened in the south will possibly suffice

They have sold nearly half the seats available in south section 27 since I posted 20mins ago so maybe not.

[Keith_M]

We need to put in the 75 percent of the cost for our 8,000 season ticket holders who are getting in for free.



No we don't.

The split of money is based purely on the takings, Hibs don't have to put anything in the pot for season Ticket holders.

I don't know where that story started but it's really grown arms and legs.


But season tickets are tickets sold.

No, they're not.

In my eyes this game is nothing to do with finance as our survival in the Premiership, and not disappearing out of it for possibly one, two or three seasons will more than make up for not balancing the books on this one occasion.

Nearly a full house and everyone getting behind the team to push the players over the finishing line. That's what tomorrow is all about.

Should we make a wee profit/wee loss out of it then fair enough as not even Mystic Meg would have forecast this situation.

Come on the Hibees.........gerrintaethum.

Might have to cover my ears if we score first as the place will erupt!

Sunshine on Leith would look PHENOMENAL if everyone brought their scarves. :agree:

Also a cool head is required IF, it starts to go wrong. Not that I'm expecting it too :wink:

[Hibeewilly]

Holy moly. It's filling up quicker than Nade's shopping bag in Greggs.

[spike220]

Is that you Rod?

[down-the-slope]

I think we are getting to the point where any ST holders who can't make game should be encouraged to 'return' briefs for this game so they can be resold as there are not going to be enough seats if queues at TO and Print at home continue at this rate....

[GlenrothesHibee]

Maybe we should fill in the corners. What do you think Jambos?

Good idea.

[down-the-slope]

27 's a gonner too now :greengrin

I know that there will be a few (maybe couple of dozen) in posh seats that will get released last minute if not taken by hospitality

[silverhibee]

:confused:

Please explain?

The play off games would not have formed part of the budgetary planning process and even with reduced admission prices, I'd fully expect that the income will outweigh the costs involved.

Treble time for Scottish Police. :wink: :greengrin

[Nevi_SOL]

A grand total of 152 seats available

If you saw some of the older guys I sit with then there's no way you would want their briefs.

[silverhibee]

West has just sold out.
4 left in FF
East sold out.
Good amount left in the south.

ER may collapse as it will be absolutely ROCKING.

Lets get right behind the team. None of this booing and abusing our own players, do that to the Accies players and lets make ER extremely intimidating for them on Sunday so the Acciea absolutely brick it.

COOOOOME ANNNNNN!

Give it a rest eh.

[SHODAN]

Anyone reckon we'll beat the previous record of 20,106 set earlier this season?

[iwasthere1972]

Anyone reckon we'll beat the previous record of 20,106 set earlier this season?

No but that may only be because of the segregation between Hibs and Accies fans in the south.

[Makaveli]

Anyone reckon we'll beat the previous record of 20,106 set earlier this season?

Would be great but I don't think so since a bit of the South will be used for segregation. Might sneak 20k though.

[iwasthere1972]

Depends whether we'll have to segregate both the upper and lower South Stand.

[Nevi_SOL]

Only 50 Seats available sold over 100 since my last post must of been about 10 mins ago unbelievable support again

[GreenCastle]

Segregation will probably mean we won't.

Capacity is 20,421

Rough maths..

Around 900 Accies fans
Segregation possibly 1000 (South upper / lower - are accies fans in upper or lower or both?)
16,500-17,500 Hibs fans in East, West and North
South Upper unsold seats = ?
X amount of ST holders not turning up and unsold hospitality =

Looking at a crowd of around 18,500 I reckon - still a very impressive amount of Hibs fans :aok:

South Upper now open for Hibs fans also!

[theonlywayisup]

250 Guests :bye:

What is this fascination with the number of guests?

I, and I am sure many others, only log in when I have something to post. So for most of my time, I will be shown as a guest. I am sure many others will be like that.

[Www1875hfc]

Top tier tickets now made available. :aok:

[hibees59]

South Upper now open :flag:

[JHFC]

is the South upper still to be released??

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Give it a rest eh.

Why? It's an issue that needs addressed.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Just been released mate.

[JHFC]

Just been released mate.

let's sell that out as well!! I think I might get my tickets in there.

:agree: it's the pinkies that automatically log in who you have to feel sorry for. Got nothing better to do but read what real fans post.

Go for it mate.

I think two-tier segregation might take nearer 700 seats than 1,000, but on reflection my hope for 20k obviously can't materialise. We've already sold thousands more than I expected so fair play to everyone!

[mcculloch1875]

Just bought another couple south upper. how many sections do Hamilton have? upper and lower?

[Gatecrasher]

Anything over 19000 is amazing. The team must do the business :flag:

[down-the-slope]

Top tier tickets now made available. :aok:

Brilliant view of ground from up there...

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I see folk are getting wired into the tickets already. Superb effort, keep it up:aok:

[Billy Whizz]

Each block will hold on ave, slightly less than 400. Would think Hamilton would have been given tickets for 5 blocks or so.
Don't know though if they have been selling top or bottom though

[hfc rd]

Have Hamilton sold out their end? Really hope the players step up to the plate tomorrow and finish the job off. It looks like it's going to potentially be the 2nd highest attended game at ER this season after the New Year Derby. Looking forward too it! GGTTH!

[silverhibee]

No it's not.



Things like that happen at football games throughout the world, you should take it up with Sepp Blatter if you want to address the matter.

Hamilton sales end at 4pm today. Hibs should be in a position later tonight to know what additional blocks they can sell

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Just popped over to collect tickets for others. No queue. Think most sales this morning will be online
