Get yerself along next week if you can!

'Mon the Hibs.

Not one to be missed that's for sure, could be a bit special! Wish I was going! You'll hear me from California if, ack WHEN, the ref blows the full time whistle and we've won! :thumbsup:

[andy1875]

My first away game the day (with the exception of Tynie) since our Scottish Cup Sparky hat-trick at Killie.

Got the appetite back for away games and if we beat the Rangers next week, then our season really takes off.

Well done the day though Hibs and looking forward to next week.

with admission at 28 sheets, i would think 13K will be more likely

I'll come if they arrest and publicly flog any Hun who signs sectarian songs.

If there are less than 12k hibs fans for this we really have lost thousands who are unlikely to ever return.

[johnbc70]

I am going, first game this season.

You've missed out "I don't like early kick offs" and "I don't like Sundays". :greengrin

Seriously though, if you can make it next Sunday please attend and lets put the pressure on those horrible specimens from the west.

[.Sean.]

See no reason we shouldn't be looking at 16-17k for this.

The stayaways must be running out of excuses surely.

[IWasThere2016]

Off to Newcastle-Stoke and staying overnight as the boy has a Scottish Cup tie in Duns on the Sunday. We'll need to be a lot better than the second half today as that was poor..

[Thecat23]

Can't wait for it. If anyone on here is debating to come all I can say is, The more Hibs fans there to back the team the better chance we have of lifting the players. Let's pack the ground so when they walk out the hair on their necks stand up.

Shut the away end up and take three points then it really is GAME ON!

[snedzuk]

I'll come if they arrest and publicly flog any Hun who signs sectarian songs.

you best make sure no-one sees you!

[Sir David Gray]

I'll come if they arrest and publicly flog any Hun who signs sectarian songs.

Most Sevco fans struggle with the English language so I would have thought that sign language would be beyond most of them. :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Absolutely buzzing for this game next week, cannot wait.

If St Mirren could get something tomorrow, a victory next week puts us within one win of them and it would really makes things exciting again.

Even if they win tomorrow, if we can win next week then it's down to five points which could be easily overcome when there would still be more than 20 games left.

Hopefully there's a large home crowd next week, the players really deserve the backing of the fans.

[hibsbollah]

The garden really is a state and the clocks are going back soon so I really have to maximise the chances I've got to clear up all the fallen leaves. Cue the uberfans :rolleyes:

Hopefully it's a bit (or a lot) demotivating for them that they've been hammering teams but we're still in touching distance.

If they drop points in their next two games Warburton could have a job on his hands lifting their spirits.

I find out tomorrow if my step son has been selected for a big rugby tournament in St Andrews next Sunday. If selected, I will be there to support him, thus missing the game. Am I a bad parent if I suggest to his coach that he isn't fit?

Absolutely not.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Will be surprised if the attendance is anymore than 13k, sadly.
The Hibs "fans" that continue to stay away are fast running out of excuses. Starting to get on my goat.

[Dav1986]

I have a Scottish cup game on the Sunday afternoon which I'm thinking my team will have to play without me. Can't make many games due to work but the games I've been to this year, I have caught the bug again. Been more this season already than I managed all of last season.

[silverhibee]

'Mon the Hibs.

Only if you turn up for the V & Cs. :thumbsup:

[pacorosssco]

Huge game , full 3 sides massive boost, hope we can show team backing, blaming fans for not going/coming back wont help though. I live abroad but theose who support week in weeke are legends. It is easy to say ill be there but money is tight for all. I hope have big crowd but dont look down cause people cant make it. Times change for all. Heres to those that can make it doo. I have been every week supporter it cost money and time. I am not now but others are. Long may that continue

One of the best matches I have ever attended.

Probably in my top three or four.

I would love to have a repeat next Sunday.

I'm quick to defend Hibs on prices because I can see the need to maximise income to pay for the squad we have and our no doubt hefty infrastructure running costs, but this is the one area where I find it difficult to do so. £28 for a Championship match is asking too much, no matter who its against, and there's no doubt that lately that's been born out by the no better than average home fans turn outs for these games.

£25 is still a good bit over the normal cost, but I think a lot more fans would go 'oh well I suppose' if it was that price..... £28 is different, its too far north of the regular cost in my opinion, its near enough £30 which would be too steep for a premier league Cat A game, never mind the league below that, and the evidence is pretty clear that its putting folk off.

I don't have a lot of time for some of the reasons folk give for not going, but £28 is an amount I would guess a lot of people simply cant afford and Hibs need to recognise that.

Who are these folk that continue to make excuses, and why do they get on your goat? :confused:

[CallumLaidlaw]

Really looking forward to this one. This run of games is great. Dreading the return of Dumbarton/Alloa/Livingston etc on the schedule. I'm sure whatever fans are there will make a great noise. As a season ticket holder with a child, I've been impressed by the pricing by Falkirk & Raith in our last 2 games. £28 seems crazy for a championship game. Hopefully there will still be plenty keen to pay this for a game that could really get us right back into the title race.

[frazeHFC]

Not been at a game since Livi away, been itching to get to one. Not missing this one that's for sure!

[iwasthere1972]

Me and my brother will be there as usual. Looking forward to it already. Hopefully St Mirren can takes points off them tomorrow.

[Mr White]

Coming home for this one. We're winning next week :flag:

Spot on. I'm a ST holder but I think a lot of fans will just watch it on TV in the house or pub. £28 is way over the top even by Hivs standards. Ticket pricing is the one area that LD has got seriously wrong since she came to Hibs

Do folk seriously not go cause it's 28 quid instead of say 23? If you're scrimping over a fiver you should be prioritising your money better than trips to the football anyway.

[Since90+2]

£28 for a match in the second tier of Scottish football is ridiculous.

[hfc rd]

Really gutted I won't be available to make it up to Edinburgh next week for this as got a wedding that I need to attend. Hopefully we get the 3 points.

Will definitely be at the Dundee United game on the Wednesday. Will be purchasing the ticket online later this evening.

[Peanut Shaz]

I'm bringing a friend along. First game for her at ER. She's a bit of a glory hunter turning up for big cup games etc, but managed to get her to this one as she hates The Rangers with a passion.

[Scouse Hibee]

£28 is steep no doubt about it but folk who cannot afford to attend would surely struggle to attend even if the cost was £22. There's a difference in not attending as a matter of principle due to the cost and actually not being able to afford it.

I think everyone has a cut off point when they just think enough is enough. I reached that point at tynecastle 5 or 6 years ago, the difference was probably less than a fiver but I just felt I never enjoyed myself enough there to warrant just paying whatever they wanted.

Now I'm out the habit of going there I can't see that changing for a while, I imagine the same applies to many regarding the prices at Easter road.

[silverhibee]

Sorry Sean, but £28 to watch a game of football in this league is a ****ing joke, I will make it next weekend but a lot of folk won't because of the price, it's the championship league in Scottish football were playing in, not the Champions League.

The club are taking the piss asking this price. £28 ****ing quid, if Petrie was still in charge and asking this amount there would be protests at the main door about it.

The average price to get in to games in this league a few seasons ago was £14, remember we are not in the top flight anymore, so £28 for a game of football in this league is quite simply a rip off.

[familyman]

'Mon the Hibs.
Yes this is big match and we need to show we can indeed win games by more than 1 goal and finally show folks we are serious challengers not just hanging on to save the day!!!
A good win will be a real tonic....

Agree. £23 may be 'only' a fiver cheaper but a lot of pay-at-the-gate fans will have a cut off point. For many working class fans £28 represents a decent chunk of their weekly income. No walk up price should be more than £20 for adults and £5 for under 16s.

[.Sean.]

I'm genuinely no meaning to sound arsey about it, if you can afford 23 quid you can afford 28 I'm sure. The way I see it is if you really want to go you'll pay the 'going rate' anyway.

Thats no me agreeing with the price btw, 28 quid is scandalous at this level but when you've got season ticket holders paying the best part of 400 quid you're no gonna get in on the cheap.

Just pay it and get along and support them...The team both warrant it and need it. **** Rangers :aok::flag:

Agree with that.

Really hope we can get a good crowd in. Biggest game we've had since being in this league IMO, outwith the playoff games. It's the first time we've really had a chance to make up any ground and get to within a reasonable distance of the leaders, this year or last.

Some people forget there are non Edinburgh Hibees like me who have additional costs even getting to Edinburgh before we have even bought a ticket for the match. £28 is scandalous.

[Scouse Hibee]

Not forgotten you guys at all, agreed it's a scandalous price but not something that would prevent you because of cost. I agree if you have a cut off price you are willing to pay then that is fair enough.

[keep the faith]

£20 we would fill Easter Road. £28 no chance.

I disagree. I think it's apathy which has set in and 8 quid won't change that. We need commitment and passion from more. I know it's not easy and times are hard but it's what we are missing at times compared to some other clubs support.
A real shame as I love watching the side develop. People who can afford to return and can't are really missing out.

[FranckSuzy]

I understand that £28 may be too expensive for some fans, and I'm sorry if that's the case. However, if we get a similar game/scoreline as the game in Dec, it'll be worth every penny! £7 a goal :thumbsup:

[silverhibee]

I'm not disagreeing with you.

Just as well.

If there are less than 12k hibs fans for this we really have lost thousands who are unlikely to ever return.

They'll soon get back into it once we are back in the top flight and doing well (like we should be).

I really don't think the £5 difference is the problem, folk won't be thinking," well if it was £5 cheaper i would go", simply they see £28 and go there is no chance i can afford this/ or quite simply it is to dear to watch a game of football in the lower leagues of Scottish football, and £28 is kicking the ass out of it.

Can't wait for it. :thumbsup:

[Scouse Hibee]

I wonder too if other clubs have constant threads with folk trying to tell other folk that they have to justify not attending.

[scoopyboy]

Everybody agrees that £28 is too much but unfortunately that's the price Hibs have set so it's a case of you pay it if you want to be at Easter Road to watch it.

I have genuine sympathy for good Hibbies that cannot afford to go, especially those who have maybe two or more kids that they feel they couldn't go to the game without.

I also feel for people who are ill, have to work, have family commitments or are otherwise disposed.

It's the arsey fans who can afford to go and have nothing better to do that get on my thruppny bits. Generally it's the same guys that whinge the most when we don't get promoted but don't see the irony in that they aren't helping by staying away.

To go to the extreme if we all stayed away there would be no Hibs as we would fold, thankfully that will never happen but the more fans that turn up the better to try and get us out this hole.

[mcfly]

Look it's as simple as this no one complains at £28 for a cup final ticket??

This is our cup final -win it and the belief is back we can win the league. Lose and it's too big a gap

So stop whining get a ticket for the game and get behind this team. We are on a great run Easter road will be bouncing when we beat them next weekend.

Pretty much sums things up.

If we lose next week, I feel the league will be pretty much done and dusted.

If we can get a win, the belief will be back that we can put a challenge into Sevco for the title.

I still think everybody who can should make the effort to go to this one ... you're no use to Hibs in front of the telly in yer hoose or doon the pub.

I highlighted the cost simply because I genuinely think it does put some folk off and as someone else said, for a lot of folk there is a cut off point where even if they can afford it they just feel they cant justify paying it. If you are one of those people all I can say is ..... screw the cost, get oot there and back yer team :aok:

It was no coincidence that the noisy backing helped against the sheep and was never more apparent than when we destroyed them at ER this time last year

I think we all agree that £28 is a scandalous price for the league we're in, but now isn't the time make a stand against it. We need a big noisy support roaring on the team next week, if you can afford it you should go.
