Confirmed by Nicola in the ticket office this afternoon.

C'mon folks, get along if you can.

Home end is nearly sold out.

Home end is nearly sold out.

That means we have sold nearly 800 for a Sunday early kick off,live on telly game at a ground that our fans traditionally don't travel too. Would be great if we sell out but I won't lose sleep over it and fully understand why our fans don't go there.

I can understand it as well although I did think we would end up selling our allocation for this match.

I'm less certain now if we have around 20% of our allocation unsold with just three days left to buy tickets. I can't see 200 tickets being sold by Saturday afternoon.

We've had a lot of supporters livid that Sevco haven't given us more tickets for the last 4-5 games, so have to disagree with your post. Where are all those who were complaining last time?

I usually go but because I go with my boy I'm giving this one a miss. He can usually handle the atmosphere and we go downstairs at halftime but after the Allan saga I think it will be worse than usual and its not worth the risk I'm afraid. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation

They will be sitting in their houses watching it or in the pub watching it. That is their choice, I will be there but I am not looking forward to the abuse and hassle that I will get from their fans, stewards and police especially as I am traveling by train.

I've got to admit I took my eye of this. Didn't renew this season and after seeing the 7 waves I automatically ruled it out. I didn't think if this would go to general sale so just didn't bother checking again.

Will go get a couple now!

Probably done to death but 7 waves not a bit too much?

Poor really especially considering the fuss about our allocation a couple of months ago. A game that was also a crap kick off time and on TV.

Sure St Mirren sold out their allocation a couple of weeks back.

There is nothing embarrassing about it. I have been to ibrox when we have had a maximum of 200. People can make choices and this weekend our fans have decided not to travel. It's not that big a deal.

For all those who don't want to take young kids there are thousands who would go if it suited them - but can't be arsed. Fair enough, but these are the people who greet when they can't get a ticket on the rare occasions they feel like going to a game.

I don't know why anyone is surprised at the slow sales. It reflects the growing lack of confidence running through the support at the moment. The consequence of the Allan transfer, an unsettled team , poor start to the season and the realisation that we are in for a real struggle to get out of this league . A win on Sunday would go a long way to putting things right but the signs are not good.

I have said on other threads we could of done with this fixture in another three or four weeks .I didn't miss a game at Ibrox last year ,including sitting in home end for play off game there ,and I won't miss this one .But you can't argue with parents saying they wouldn't take their children there .
They will be up for it as will the crowd ,but still looking forward to seeing what we have learnt after that first game at Easter Road and we have a few more options now

Then phone Hibs and buy a ticket for our end.

You couldn't pay me enough to sit in the home end at Ibrox.

Brought about because it's so much safer going there now, but FFS there should be enough of us to sell out 1000 tickets easily.

If we had performed better in the cup game against them and beaten Dumbarton in first game then this would have sold out quickly.

That was close to happening to the supporters bus in front of me in the line of traffic waiting to approach the stadium before the play off match last season.

A couple of them started kicking at the door and tried to open it several times before spitting at the bus windows and banging on the side of the bus.

I honestly thought my car was going to be next.

WE've all got anecdotes - had people wanting to fight me in Falkirk, been abused & threatened going to Easter Road, we've all got stories to tell - Ibrox is an experience but the idea that it's stepping into some kind of hell is an absolute fallacy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm going on Sunday but it is quite an intimidating place to go to and the atmosphere can be quite poisonous as well.

It's not somewhere I would visit with a young child for example.

You definitely aren't. Take my 10 year to a lot of away games and was at Ibrox twice last season, but I think there's gonna be extra needle in this, and with them close to sell out, I don't fancy putting him through it

A friend of mine (female) had to endure 90 minutes of abuse and threats at a game through there last season. She was with her children and the stewards did nothing.

Say what you want about those who don't go but I for one will never set foot in Ibrox for a Hibs game.

Ibrox is not everyone's cup of tea, and to be fair it is not a young child or family friendly away day for Hibs supporters. That said, you can say the same about Tynecastle but there are always 4000 odd pitching up there. I'm sure we will shift most of the remainder by Sunday, and those that are there will do their bit in backing the team in what might be a tough game for us. Bottom line is, if we have aspirations in winning the league, we have to be going to Ibrox looking to win. Looking forward to this.

We are currently getting around 8000 for a home game so 10% travelling to Ibrox is not that bad. The reality is that Hibs are not as big a club as some make out. We have been in the wilderness for years and now are support is shirking. Fans will return when they see a decent team on the park but we are a long way off that happening. Those who are going hope you have a ball

Correct, people saying it's ok not to muster up 950 fans against our title rivals, this is exactly why we will never be successful, if the game was at home tomorrow there would be 8000-9000 more fans, now I understand some have genuine reasons they can't go to the game or some who won't because of treatment at Ibrox etc but if we want to go anywhere in football then we actually need to start supporting our team. For the first time since 2005 I missed a trip to Ibrox last season (midweek 0-2 win) and that was because for love nor money I could not get a ticket. Where are those supporters now? Or the ones moaning for a bigger allocation in the play offs?

To be honest this is what's most upsetting, I don't want Hibs to be but a small club taking maybe a few hundred to away games only 40 miles away - that we have reached that point & people don't recognise it because they are too busy making up excuses is ridiculous. Why not just be honesst and say, we are crap and will probably lose, and I dont want to see it?

The fans have shown amazing support over the last few years considering the number of times we have been let down. Many other clubs wouldn't even get close to our crowds if they had been in same situation.

Similar threads like this will continue to pop up until we are back performing and in the league we should be in.

The board and club have been poorly run for several years and this is the knock on effect.

As other clubs have shown - crowds aren't everything - the most important thing on Sunday is the team turn up and win.

I'm not going because A i cant be arsed getting up early and travelling, and B it's on the telly.

And you will never hear me greeting that i can't get a ticket for ANY game i may want to go to in the past or future.

The thing that is most disappointing about this is that it tells me that most fans feel we will get beat - our pre season optimism is gone - most are already assuming we are also rans...

It also reminds me that most wins there have been in circumstances like that - let's hope this weekend is another

We need to start supporting the team, haha.

We need the fans with us, beat 7-0 by Malmö, we need the fans with us, thumped 5-1 by hearts, we need the fans with us, chuck away a two goal lead to be relegated, we need the fans with us, fail to do anything in the run up to relegation, we need the fans with us, lose a goal to St Mirren after seconds, we need he fans with us, lose the play off and play terribly.

The fans aren't the problem, the team is, if hibs played halfway decent football folk would go see them. So far after all of that plus a second cup final loss to Celtic and semi loss to Falkirk, and our start to this season being thumped by them 6-2 you think folk should be excited to go to games? I think it's ***** we don't get more fans through the gate but looking at the last few years you can't blame anyone for thinking it's no worth it.

Who are you to tell people how to spend their weekends? No one needs an excuse not to go. If they don't want to, it's their business.

Again, if people don't want to go then that's up to them. Sorry, but some prefer to watch away games in the pub or in the house if it's on TV. Their choice.

Far too much gets made about attendances. It's not like it inspires the team. Malmo, Hearts final, Celtic final, Playoff v Hamilton.

We need the fans with us, beat 7-0 by Malmö, we need the fans with us, thumped 5-1 by hearts, we need the fans with us, chuck away a two goal lead to be relegated, we need the fans with us, fail to do anything in the run up to relegation, we need the fans with us, lose a goal to St Mirren after seconds, we need he fans with us, lose the play off and play terribly.

The fans aren't the problem, the team is, if hibs played halfway decent football folk would go see them. So far after all of that plus a second cup final loss to Celtic and semi loss to Falkirk, and our start to this season being thumped by them 6-2 you think folk should be excited to go to games? I think it's ***** we don't get more fans through the gate but looking at the last few years you can't blame anyone for thinking it's no worth it.

What do you mean by half decent football? We finished second in a very difficult league last year playing what I would describe as half decent football. We went on a streak of losing about 1 in 24 games last year and still couldn't muster more than 9000 fans at home. The club have made all the right steps, built bridges with the support, stood firm on the Allan situation and we won't get behind them. What happened with Malmo, Hearts etc has happened but wasn't under the tenure of Stubbs and Leanne. To use the Falkirk semi is ridiculous, that was actually one of the better performances I have seen at hampden and nothing to do with bottling it either, the ball just wouldn't go in to the net. We better be careful because I am actually starting to worry about the quality of player we are signing and what implication this is having financially.

In general I agree with the point you are making but that bit in bold is nonsense. The Scottish Championship is not a 'very difficult" league. Rangers last season were horrendous , if they were in the Premiership last year they would be relegation candidates.

Can't even begin to agree with that, fair enough the bottom half are garbage but the top half of the championship would more than hold their own in the Premiership. I don't care how much prep we had last year, Hearts we never going to lose that league. Rangers however bad they were are still spending ridiculous amounts on wages. QOS and Falkirk are both good sides as well.

Anyway, what's with the sudden obsession of not selling out? It's only in the last few years that we've started to take a decent support to league games through there anyway and people didn't talk about how embarrassing it was that we had a small support.


I sometimes feel that some people just can't wait to knock the club or their fellow supporters at any given opportunity. A few of them have already posted on this thread

100% spot on, how many kicks in the baws do the fans have to take?! I'm amazed we still get 9 thousand at games, there is not many clubs that have had to put up with what we have, we are literally a laughing stock in Scottish football, the only banter I can have with other football fans is about how inept we are and always really have been.

There's a car park right across the road from the away fans' entrance which is designated for away fans. Think it's about £8 per car which is worth it to ensure the safety of your vehicle.

Been to every Hibs game at Ibrox from 1985 up until last season. Decided enough was enough, paying good money to be treated like something brought in on the sole of your shoe so didn't attend either of the two league matches. For the play off game I reluctantly bought a ticket and soon remembered why I had given up attending Ibrox. £28 for a ticket, £7 to park the car, held in the stadium for 30 minutes after the game, not being allowed to even go to the toilet during that time. Then spent two hours stuck in traffic in the ar5ehole of the world called Govan.

So on Sunday I will be staying at home watching on the TV, knowing that I haven't donated £28 to that shower of bigoted vermin.

If you mean the play-off game, it's really not the same situation. This is a run of the mill league game, not a play off to see who gets promoted.

We took 5,500 to a cup game a few years back but we can't expect that number for every run of the mill league game either.

Sorry but QOS and Falkirk are not good sides. There is a reason they are in the 2nd tier of Scottish football and have been for years ie they are not very good.

Lets not try and gloss over things by saying things like the 2nd level of Scottish football is "very tough" when its clearly not.

Only time in 20 odd years of driving to Ibrox I used the official car park, I got lifted during the game (for **** all I may add). Kept in Govan nick overnight then couldn't my car back as it was locked up. Disaster!
Every other time I park on the road to right just past the car park, outside the old derelict pub. Never had any bother and you don't get held back by the cops until the entire Hun support is back in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverness or checked in for their ferries. Oh and it doesn't cost £6 or £8, whatever it is these days.

I have never found the atmosphere intimidating, more horrible. I was at the play off game and it really was a poisonious atmosphere.
Coupled with the fact that we get shoehorned into a small corner of the ground. I also won't ever bother mentioning the way the Police treat our fans whilst letting their ****my mob away with anything.

:agree: This is kind of like the way I feel about Ibrox. As well as being spat on and pelted with all sorts of missiles (in the days when cans & bottles could be taken into the grounds) we were threatened with a lot worse than that and I was lucky to get out of the place uninjured, put it that way.

Again, if people don't want to go then that's up to them. Sorry, but some prefer to watch away games in the pub or in the house if it's on TV. Their choice.

Far too much gets made about attendances. It's not like it inspires the team. Malmo, Hearts final, Celtic final, Playoff v Hamilton.

This is a hibs website for hibs fans. The default position for a football fan is to go and cheer the team.

The counter arguments are pathetic. "Choices" "malmo" "5-1" "blah blah" are absolutely laughable and are the reasonings of dissatisfied customers who are free to choose one supermarket over another.

If anyone is that tired of hibs then why don't you piss off and let the rest of us get on with the whole "through thick and thin" thing.

I first went to Ibrox just after turning 11 or 12 I think, loved it and had wanted to go before! Can't really recall being 'scared' in any way to be honest. Fine if you are not right next to Huns going mental, though I suppose that can't be guaranteed.

Not ideal getting stuff chucked but when I started going it was when the away fans were over the other side of the Broomloan so it was probably easier for stuff to be thrown. Don't ever remember it happening to be honest. Been there probably a dozen times or more and never had any issues. They're a horrible lot of course, but I'd never let that stop me going to a game.

Some people have clearly had/suffered some bad experiences at Ibrox yet folk are slagging them from staying away and quoting those experiences as their reason. :confused: Seems strange to me that folk can't just accept a reason is just that, it's not an excuse.

Anyone ever been to hospitality at Ibrox?

I'm meant to be a guest of a well-known bookmakers in a box at the game on Sunday.

I don't remember Ibrox having "boxes" so will I just be sitting up in the posh seats with the well-to-do but still generally furious bears?

Can't see them being too happy being up to their knees in my "not really interested in religion but I suppose if pushed I'm a protestant but happen to support a football team with Irish heritage" blood.

There are boxes but there were a load of hospitality seats in the club deck. Bookies likely to have a box. The bears suurrounding me in the top deck were as bad as the others desitte the shirts and ties...

I'm a mum who attends the games with my 11 year old son. "If one of they big bad Rangers fans throws a coin at me (and hits me with it!")
I would extract the idiots head from his shoulders, ram it up his backside, then phone his mother to come and get him!
I'd then get lifted and charged by the weedge Police and my 11 year old son would be left high and dry!!

My dad and his friends had hospitality for the 3-0 cup game, they had a box that day and to be fair to Rangers, the club stewards couldn't help them enough. The huns in front of the box thought they'd be wideos when the game wasnt going their way and decided to stand in front of the box thus blocking my dads view.

A minute later a Rangers blazer came into the box and rattled the glass. The huns that were standing turned around smugly however their faces dropped when he pointed to his badge and screamed at them to sit their ***** down! Which they all did quick smart! :na na:

The hospitality is excellent. If you're in a box you'll be fine but there will be some window licker in front of you marking your card with his inane posturing.

If you're out in the seats it is hellish. You are in amongst the worst of them. These are the ones that are meant to know better but when the white line gets crossed, somehow forget how to spell their own names.
I've witnessed this a few times. Two notables. First one was the 1-1 with Stokes delightful chip/lobbed equaliser when an aged cretin next to me constantly referred to Zemmama as a 'reptile'. My Mrs swapped seats with me before his mooth went the shape of my elbow.

Second time was the Calderwood 3 nil. I nearly got in trouble at that one. Easily identified on the way out as a Hibby you see..
I had pissed my pants laughing.

Got my team sheet signed by the entire Hibs squad and management then auctioned it on here for the Dnipro kids. So a lovely win / win.

Enjoy it friend.

The rangers fans haven't sat above us in a long time. As for the missus getting a full pat down, they do this with fans from every club not just ours. They even do it to the rangers fans for some reason. I know this for sure cause I got a ticket for the rangers end once and was given the full pat down treatment.

As I said 89was the last time I went and this is what happened then. Iam aware that we no longer suit below them but that bothers me not.

Infuriates me that they keep away fans(off which there are sometimes just 2-300) in for half an hour to allow 50,000(sometimes) home fans to leave. Sums them up entirely. As petty as it is, it equally infuriates me that we don't do it back to them and instead choose to stop our OWN fans from getting home for half an hour [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

I was in the Rangers end at last play off game at Ibrox ,and there a easily four or five thousand empty seats probably more , .but you are right ,the sound will be incredible before ,and just after ,kick off ,as they belt out the usual Bigoted Bile . Agree keep it tight ,then hit them on break and it will help quieten them ,but I think they are going to be so up for it tomorrow even if they loose the first goal they will assume the natural Order will be restored .So we need to play our part and be prepared to be as vocal as we can as a Support

Keep it tight for the first 20 minutes or so and frustrate them and then go 1-0 up just before half time and watch them get on top of their team.

After the second and third go in before the hour mark, there will be a mass evacuation.

I predict we'll outnumber them by about the 80th minute. :thumbsup:

Your last comments sum up your own post perfectly.


I am in no way "trying" to bring others down with me, this is a football forum regarding all things Hibs, My experience supporting Hibs has certainly not given me much to be Mr super positive happy guy about, sorry, as I said before, can't shake it off, it's just in there.

Genuinely felt hellish yesterday morning so sorry for being a dick guys (and Steve20).

To be honest I think away attendances at ibrox or parkhead are the ones we should be least bothered about. We will still be heavily outnumbered by roughly the same ratio should we take the full allocation or the amount of fans who have already bought tickets. 200 fans isn't a big difference, it will still be a good amount of proper hibbys going and its only Sevco who will be "losing" cash.

We're no different from any other club. When we do well we take a big travelling support and when we have bad periods it tails off. It's been an iffy start and when you look at the grand scheme of things we are in the second bloody division. In fact, we probably are a bit different because to our credit, we do tend to take unusually large traveling supports when we fancy it.

Going to these grounds isn't nice and I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for not going. It's not just the way you are treated inside, it's the experiences before and after the game. The majority of rangers fans are OK but there is always an idiot or two who will scar the whole experience for you, no doubt using sectarian insults and threats. I know plenty hearts fans and a few Dunfermline fans who simply won't go with their kids to these places because of the hostility and bigotry from all angles, especially after last season in Hearts case. Fans from all over Scotland probably don't like going there.

They are both cess-pits and 200 fans won't make a bit of difference to the result. Hats off to every one of you that's going.

They were in fine enough voice after Delia sold Darren Eadie to Leicester City. "Cant cook, takes it up the arse" is still one of the finest football chants I've heard at a ground. The 'can't cook' part being especially below the belt.
