Where were the missing 600 odd seats? Bad form.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

It's close to a thousand under capacity, don't know where you'd put them.

[Michael]

Should be easier to track down that the missing 384,000.

[CB_NO3]

Means we have to pay them less cash hehe

[WhileTheChief..]

The posh seats in the west? Would they be counted?

[Dashing Bob S]

So the Yams couldn't sell all their tickets? Bad show.

They never do when they know they're getting beat

[djs69]

Hospitality was still being advertised today

[Greencore]

Did the announcer thank the hertz fans for coming??

i'd like to thank them for contributing both financially and in spirit to our resurgence....,and just say...gIrUy:greengrin

He did

The announcer said before the game something about this being the highest attended game in the capital's largest football stadium.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

How did TB get over 20k for his first derby and although tonight was sold it out it wasn't 20k? Hospitality perhaps??

[greenginger]

People with cup top-ups not attending.

Myself for one. In bed with the flu or something similar.

What a beauty

[WHAM]

Looking around tonight there is no way that there were 1000 empty seats or less there than 2nd Jan 2014 Derby.

Hibs have pulled a fly one so the fuds get less cash me thinks.

GGTTH

[CB_NO3]

The west upper was packed, including the hospitality.

[Iceman1875]

I had a spare seat next to me in the west lower but it didn't seem like there were 900-1000 spare seats dotted around


At Easter Road we play...

[Ken]

There is no way there were 1000 spare seats. Did anyone's ST/ticket not scan in properly and have to get let in 'manually' by a steward?????!!!! Just a thought

We may well have sold all the tickets but is the attendance not actual numbers through the door? Having said that saw no empty seats from where I was

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Lucky if there were a 100 empty seats tonight, nowhere near 1000

[Coco Bryce]

Hibs said it was a sell out last week though?

[GreenCastle]

Never that many missing seats. Must just have been a few singles or hospitality ?

Would love ER to be that busy every week !

Hooefully more keep returning.

Famous Five Upper had issues with a few in front of me...poor steward was getting it tight wasn't his fault

[happiehibbie]

3 empty seats in the west lower which suited me as I could sit next to my 3 guests

[HibbyKeith]

People attending that require entry through an exit gate, wheelchair access etc do they scan in? (to be fair I've never seen them scan anything but not paid alot of attention)

Is it possible that some of the missing numbers from the official attendance figures are some of these folk? and hibs are just counting turnstile clicks?

Either way that looked about as packed as you could get it so not sure where the empty seats were.

[iwasthere1972]

Agree. No way there was 800 seats empty tonight. Really surprised me when the attendance number was announced. Anyway the only important numbers were 1-0. Not the best display but another victory. Sweeter when it's against the Jambos.

[lord bunberry]

The guy in front of me at the turnstile scanned his ticket but didn't push the turnstile quick enough and didn't get in. There wasn't a steward there at the time and by the time one showed up all he could do was send the guy round to the ticket office. I felt sorry for the guy and I don't know if he got in or not.

[Just Jimmy]

Dunbar end of the east bottom corner had about maybe 10 rows by 10 seats covered with a flat of some sort. Maybe not as many as that but a decent block. That said place looked packed. What a majestic sight ER full under lights is.

Football poetry.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

A lot of folk had trouble with scanning their tickets so stewards just checked them and let them in. Was defo over 20k but perhaps because of the scanning faults the proper number of fans didn't show up on the system that tells you how many attended, because of the scanning troubles.

[Haymaker]

Still not a ***** turnout. Top work everyone.

[monktonharp]

empty seat next to me in ff lower. it's been empty all season and I think we tried to get it for someone a couple of times. annoying though, as my son could not get a seat anywhere.

[heartbreaker]

Correct and of course the point is not exactly how many were there tonight but if a percentage of the event followers who turned up tonight will come back when its not Hearts and its not a big deal

[LustForLeith]

Sky Sports News stated it was the biggest crowd in Britain last night :thumbsup:

[Not In The Know]

thats 28 grand we don't need to split with them...

[Leithenhibby]

Still the biggest turn out in the UK last night.

Well done the Hibs fans :thumbsup:

[TheReg!]

100% Scanning problems, it's the same every other week, lots of people getting let in by security as some scanners aren't even scanning, especially in the east???

[mim]

I had a problem with my card in the West. It worked after about 6 attempts. There was an old chap just in front of me who wasn't so lucky and was told to go to the ticket office, which he was refusing to do, as he had the cup top up season card.

[Billy Whizz]

£28,000 won't pay for the damage to the South Stand, I fear.



Or the cost of fumigation.

[BSEJVT]

To be honest the actual attendance whether it is quoted correctly or incorrectly doesn't really matter other than for bragging rights.

What matters is the number of seats sold as that it what the clubs revenue is based on,

Was it that bad?

[GreenCastle]

Saw a few broken seats - they never learn :rolleyes:

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

I hope Leeann sends the Hertz half of the gate receipts straight to the poor unfortunate Poppy charity.

[CockneyRebel]

Saw a few broken seats - they never learn :rolleyes:

From where my son and I sat in the lower west, once the nice visitors had left we could see hundreds of damaged seat backs - hope we send them the bill!

[Bracksy]

I had a spare seat next to me in the West, which suited me fine as I had somewhere to put my prawn sandwiches while celebrating the goal :greengrin

[erin-go-bragh87]

Where I was sitting in the east most of the rows were about 3 deep with boys that had managed to sneak in, there must have been more than the quoted figure in the ground last night.

I noticed that too. If it's for segregation shouldn't we have done it in the south and taken it off the gunts' allocation instead?

Broken seats when we came away from Tynecastle as well. Both sets of fans have prize plums unfortunately.

to be fair the ones at tynie were probably in better condition than when we arrived.
