On to Dundee United...

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Who's all going? Purchased my ticket last week and lool forward to it :greengrin

[bingo70]

Be interesting to see how we do, they're obviously a better side than us but not so much we shouldn't be able to give them a game and have a good chance.

Just hope today doesn't deflate the players too much

[Sir David Gray]

It will be a good test for us.

They're obvioulsy the favourites, as a Premiership side, but they're apparently not playing particularly well at the moment and I'm hoping that all the upheaval surrounding everything with Paul Paton just now will give us a little edge.

If we play like we did today, we've got a chance.

[sbell1875]

I'll be there. As mentioned above, if we play like we did today I think we've got a chance.

To have a domestic cup semi-final on the horizon would give everyone at the club a huge lift so I'm hopeful we can get the job done.

Agreed ... should be interesting.

[Canongatehibs]

I've a sneaky feeling we'll win this one.

[ancient hibee]

Two men arrested for the assault.

[PatHead]

Remember concessions £5 if bought day before the game. No moaning if you miss out now.

This offer is just for 0-17yrs old not Concessions such as students and OAP's.

[IberianHibernian]

League Cup only seems important from semis onwards so win on Wednesday would be huge financially at least . Semi not till February so no distraction from league . More important than today`s game especially if a win means cash to sign good striker in January .

[PatHead]

Don't get me started on students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[B.H.F.C]

Great chance to get to a cup semi final. All of a sudden things might not seem so bad.

We are further behind in the league than we should be and it's disappointing. But I definitely think things are starting to head in the right direction. Nothing to fear on Wednesday.

[Swedish hibee]

Don't get me started on students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:confused:

Onwards & upwards Hibs for Wednesday. We're still unbeaten...

[hibee_girl]

I can't make it :boo hoo: but I am going to see Brian Connelly (my absolute favourite!) instead so never mind :greengrin

I missed the last round because of Ant & Dec, I've already been told if we win on Wednesday I'm not allowed to go to the next round either! :greengrin

[PatHead]

How much is an adult ticket? I've got the CTU but going to try and talk a few mates into going along.

[Scouse Hibee]

i'm looking forward to it, if we play like we did today i think we stand a good chance

[Bronson]

Don't get me started on students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure what you're getting at here, are you suggesting students shouldn't get cheaper tickets?

[007 Mickey Weir]

We will miss Dylan! Who comes in Craig??

[Diclonius]

This student was very happy with the ticket prices. :greengrin

Will be there, travelling with a couple United supporting mates who haven't seen us beat them in god knows how many years. Will be an uncomfortable drive back if it finally happens..

[Keith_M]

They should pay twice as much as Adults, IMHO.

[Hibernia&Alba]

£20, students £10, kids £5

That isn't bad all, especially for the kids.

[weonlywon6-2]

Me plus three going,picking up tickets on my way home

[weonlywon6-2]

We will miss Dylan! Who comes in Craig??

Take it he is suspended?

[Bronson]

What a ridiculous thing to come out with, I really hope that was a joke. A student on this thread has said he can't make the game because he can't afford the train fare and you think he should pay twice as much for his ticket? People should be encouraged to go to the football, not priced out of it.

Seriously, that has to be a wind up?

[green&left]

Rather looking forward to this. Cup tie under the floodlights with a large travelling support (1300 they've shifted so far I believe). Big test for the team also :flag:

[Pete]

This is a bigger game than the derby as far as prizes are concerned. We've left it too late to get our act together for the title so the aim in the league must be a play off place.

Win on Wednesday and there will be an underlying feelgood factor until February. A really big game that we can look forward to!

Bring it on! :thumbsup:

Hope we can get a decent crowd in ourselves. Even with them bringing a decent number I still don't think we will see 10k with season tickets not valid.

We are on a decent run and it's a massive game, hopefully it encourages a few along.

[Stuarty27]

I work away during the week in Stranraer and was no going to bother however after Sundays performance and the fact no game on Saturday I'll get away earlier and come up the road for it!

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Mine too :greengrin

And mine :agree:

[Hibeesmad]

I think we will see about 9,000 there. Hopefully a cup semi final to be excited about too!

[Pete]

Some teams are simply too big for the league cup.

Totally agree, would be really exciting to make a semi-final, like you say, would give the place a real buzz!

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Would be a fantastic game to win but I won't get too annoyed if we don't . IIRC the last time we were in this league we played Aberdeen at much the same stage and beat them 1-0.

[Billychaotic182]

Coming down from Aberdeen. Let's hope we win otherwise it's a long drive home

[Spike Mandela]

Haven't watched an SPL game on telly all season. Anyone give an honest assessment of the Utd team and their threats? Third in the league so must be playing well.

[JimBHibees]

Haven't watched an SPL game on telly all season. Anyone give an honest assessment of the Utd team and their threats? Third in the league so must be playing well.

They are a good passing team and have numerous goal threats in the form of mainly Ciftci, McKay Steven, Armstrong, Dow. Dont know if any of their players are unavailable however they do seem to be on a pretty poor run for them.

Dylan missing is a big loss to us IMO however think there will be a few goals in this game.

[lyonhibs]

Is this on the telly? One assumes not, but no harm in checking

[portyhibernian]

I don't think it is, BBC are showing Rangers v St Johnstone.

[hibeemikey21]

As far as I'm aware, they've only lost Gunning from their starting 11 that spanked us 4-1 at home. They've replaced him with Fojut who seems decent.

Edit: Oops, They also lost Robertson! Quite a significant loss that one!

Will be a big test. In saying that, our team has come on leaps and bounds since then

[Craig_HFC]

Well we dinnae want any of our players getting on the wrong side of Paul Paton anyway...

:cb

On that point will he be playing ?

[Pete]

They looked a shambles defensively against Inverness. I can see us scoring against them but will we keep their talented attacking players out?

[Stevie Reid]

On that point will he be playing ?

Back in the squad and eligible for selection according to the beeb.

[JimBHibees]

Ok cheers just saw that.

I see John Beaton the ref. Hope he does better than the Ibrox game where he totally changed the game earlier in the season..

[weonlywon6-2]

Exactly,would be magic to make a semifinal,possibly have leigh by then unless he has played in the comp already

[Pretty Boy]

Would be a fantastic game to win but I won't get too annoyed if we don't . IIRC the last time we were in this league we played Aberdeen at much the same stage and beat them 1-0.

And then got pumped 4-0 away at St Johnstone in the next round.

One of the most poisonous atmospheres I've been in, fans were going mental shouting 'sack the board' and various other less pleasant chants.

Turned it round in style that season.

[resident_Arab]

We have been anything but a good passing side this season, that has been one of our weaknesses, what we have improved was our defending at CB, it's been more solid but at the expense of passing it out and starting attacks from the back that we saw last season, Robertson up the left has been a huge miss and Gauld has also to a lesser extent, guys like Ciftci and Armstrong haven't hit top form yet either so we're nowhere near as pleasing on the eye this season

The last 3-4 performances have been dreadful with just a late penalty getting us the narrow win over Partick but have lost away to Killie & ICT at either side of that, it's not been all bad as we've managed to win 8 of our 12 games including big wins at Pittodrie and Dens, the key for us has and will be tomorrow who gets the first goal, can't say i am confident because of the above and also you lot are looking decent and certainly not struggled against the likes of Rangers & Hearts

Heard we had sold 1600 as of yesterday so should be a decent crowd and atmosphere!

On another note, I had a look online and the ticket sales for the game look really poor.

Yep, about 5,000 or so.

What's with section 11, up in the corner? That's normally one of the last places people want to buy tickets???

[Hibernia&Alba]

https://www.eticketing.co.uk/hibernianfc/details/event.aspx?itemref=2953


I'm surprised to see so many available seats at this stage for a big game.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Yep, about 5,000 or so.

Surely not.

[JimBHibees]

I'm surprised to see so many available seats at this stage for a big game.

Surely there will be a reasonable amount of walk ups also though especially if weather ok.

[Keith_M]

Surely not.


It could be a bit more than that (hopefully a lot more by kick-off) but I'm surprised the sales have been so poor.


I would have thought our recent form, plus the fact we're playing against a really good team, would have had people flocking to this match.

:confused:

[HH81]

I think it has been priced too high straight after a derby. £15 and £5 would have seen a better crowd IMO.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Surely there will be a reasonable amount of walk ups also though especially if weather ok.

Yes, I would imagine/hope so.

[leggeto]

Massive game,if we win this and get to the semi finals it will bring back the feel good factor to the club,c'moan hibs let's do this I fancy another crack at the Hun's at Hampden

[NAE NOOKIE]

Surely there will be a reasonable amount of walk ups also though especially if weather ok.

that's my guess too. Coz ER has a 20,000 capacity folk have no real incentive to make a trip to the ticket office or buy on line when theres no danger of not getting a ticket at a booth on the night.

It looks like the weather will be decent and Hibs did play well on Sunday. If cost is a factor it wont be because of £20 a ticket for this one, which is reasonable. It will be because its 3 days after £28 a pop for the derby, which was not.

Surprised to hear Utd have sold 1,600 tickets though ....good for them, that must be close to their biggest support at ER for about 10 years.

Gutted that Dylan is suspended ... that midfield was really starting to look the business.

C'mon the Hibees ..... :flag:
