Last time i saw it mentioned. a few days ago we were between 11 and 12 thousand so if we sell our initial allocation of 12 500 given recent results anything above that will be a bonus but haven't seen Callum s update a d that may be because there is nothing to update

It's a semi final, not a final. You don't get 40k plus at these games.


Anyway, it looks like there's going to be a total of about 20,000 there. Which is reasonable, given the current form of both teams.

Half the North = 4k
5 sections of the East = 4.5k
3 sections in the south= 3k
Plus seats sold in F6,F7 & I3= 1k

I would guess at least 12.5k sold and by Kick off we will have 14k, the Arabs will have between 7 & 8k

I think that's not necessarily a bad thing. It always seems to go titz up for us at Hampden when we get a huge support. I'd expect a noisier and more passionate Hibs support as a result :tin hat:

No tin hat required.

I've always preferred the atmosphere that this size of Hibs support generates.

Some of my favourite days following Hibs have been Hampden semis. A good result and it feels brilliant when you book your place in a cup final.

I'm thinking Aberdeen in 2012, Rangers in the League cup semi(s) and Livingston in 2001 just for starters.

Great days.

It's the use of the language. Divisive and unnecessary.

"What is a real supporter ?" is a question that has long plagued this board, and there's no point in either trying to debate it or use it.

Not possible I'm afraid, unless Hibs say something before the game r.e. Keeping your stub.

I'm going with 8 others, but bought all 9 tickets on my account, so I'd be the only one due a ticket.

Was told similar today. Via someone who supplies Hampden he's been told 24k max on Saturday expected.
We've only met Dundee United once before in the semi-final for the Scottish Cup 2005 when the attendance was 27,271. From memory that day we had about twice as many supporters that day than Utd.

In their living rooms or at the pub watching it on telly. Game is on BBC1, so it's a nap lots will take the easy free way out of watching game for nowt rather than cough up £28 plus travel.

Deary me [emoji6]

This one's work contract makes getting to Glasgow for an early kick off impossible so I miss my first hibs semi final in 44 years. Also need the cash to pay for the cost of the cup final recently. Many hibs supporters and others who wish us well will be in similar boats

I say all welcome at big games whatever their motivation.

We are striving to be a club for everyone who wants to come along, not a club that takes a pot at supporters who only attend certain games?

The attendance last year for our semi final was just over 21k, the other semi final got 28.5k, our crowd will be at least 21k so pretty normal for a semi final with no old firm presence.

I'm guessing he's pissed off at the amount of negativity and general malaise amongst the support that can afford to go but choose not to at this time and suggests they were all there a few weeks ago and will again be looking for tickets for the final should we make it. He' is rightly suggesting they are not as good as supporting the club as those that can afford and choose to go rather that sitting on their erses watching it on the telly.just because we've hit a bad patch. Again I'm sure he would like to be at the semi alongside another 20-30 thousand like minded Hibs fans rather than the hardcore 8-12 thousand. I'm guessing that's why he posted it. I'm sure you know that tho. It does amuse me when fans that live hundreds of miles away and can only make the commitment to go to finals for financial reasons get all defensive too. That and folk who can't afford to go every week that feel the need to justify it and get all defensive.

Getting married as it happens. A good couple of thousand will be back in whichever foreign country they forked out hundreds/thousands of quid to travel from to witness another kick in the gut in the LC Final.

Which was a final BTW. There'll be about as many Hibs fans at Hampden as there was at Tynie for the LC semi, so not entirely sure where your "part timers" comment comes from.

Crowd doesn't really matter. My first visit to Hampden was for the SC semi final in 79 against Aberdeen and I think that there was about 9000 at the game. This obsession with crowds is a bit boring. I knew folk who have seen Hibs in crowds of well over 100,000 back in the day but those days are long gone. Our crowds stand up against any club in Scotland outside the ugly sisters and are very impressive when we get to finals. This is in part to the "day trippers" but every club has them too and I'm glad that they turn out at big games for us. Let's be clear NO ONE who supports Hibs whether every week or at cup finals only is a glory hunter in any way!!!!

The amount we are taking to this semi is about the size of the core support of the club , not the hardcore support which is less, but around the amount who attend a good few games every season.

"tough times bring out the real supporters" Just because I live hundreds of miles away, does that mean I'm not a real supporter? I would love to still be able to go week in/week out, still have my ST and go to every match home and away, but unfortunately I can't. I don't see how this makes me less of a Hibs supporter. I'm sat down here going through the exact same range of emotions as all you guys lucky enough to sit at the games every week

Big numbers doesn't always mean a good support.

In my recent experiences the bigger the support the bigger %age of drunken numpties who look to agitate other supporters.

The number we are taking through could provide decent backing.

Said it before and I will say it again, one of the best Hibs supports I've been in was at Hampden when we beat Rangers on pens. Not a huge support but by Christ a passionate one.

Having spent more than I care to remember on moving an African safari in order to be able to attend the 2012 Cup Final (how foolish I felt) but also needing to take holidays in May most years due to work reasons I decided this year not to take the same risk. So this time I land into Edinburgh Airport shortly before noon on Cup Final Saturday having been travelling since 14:15 BST on the Friday. If we get to that final this year we better win it!!!

Me as well mate, one of, if not the, best Hibs supports I have ever been part of .... hard to believe 7,000 folk could out sing and out shout 26,000 for near on the whole 120 minutes.

Every time one of these threads turns to 'whose going, whose not' you invariably end up getting a lecture about the cost, the distance, work, etc. I don't think anybody is asking or expecting folk to bin the mortgage payments, travel hundreds of miles or throw a sickie to go to a semi final .....but by the same token lets not pretend that a large number of the no shows aren't being put off purely because they think Hibs are going to lose ..... as poor a reason for not backing your club in a Scottish cup semi final as I can think of.

Steady on Scott...Livi last week was torture for 70 mins, as have a number of our games this season (Morton etc).

I cant wait for Saturday myself but I don't think anyone who isn't going should have to justify themselves on here, each to their own. We all have our own lives to lead and we should respect that.

For me though any Saturday is something to look forward to. No work (well for me at least) relax, few beers, football/Hibs and this particular weekend its a cup semi final, even better than normal. Sure losing is ***** but hopefully I'll be full of the joys of victory and looking forward to yet another attempt at the Holy Grail next month for my train journey home.

Whether you're tuning in from home or watching in the pub or at Hampden itself, we all want to see Hibs win, we'll all be euphoric if we win, down if we lose, kick every ball, go ballistic when we score, get that disappointed feeling deep down inside if/when we concede. Its the joys of following a football team.

Anyway if no one else turns up and you're watching on tv I'm mad English b*****d stood on my own going mental in block F1. But I know that wont be the case, we'll be there loud and proud and we'll have legions at home and far and wide glued to the tv, radio or simply in their thoughts willing the lads on.

Not made my mind up yet whether i will go or not, i have the money and i have the time. I dont need to give anyone a reason whether i go or not.

Have been to that semi where we only had around 8k, i have also been when the crowd was 106k. Losing the game or thinking we might lose the game would never put me off going.

I have never thought we'd will win any cup final or semi since the Livingston semi in 2000.

Not made my mind up yet whether i will go or not, i have the money and i have the time. I dont need to give anyone a reason whether i go or not.

Have been to that semi where we only had around 8k, i have also been when the crowd was 106k. Losing the game or thinking we might lose the game would never put me off going.

I have never thought we'd will win any cup final or semi since the Livingston semi in 2000.

Bit of a puzzler; if you have the time and the money, and the prospect of losing does not enter your thinking, why the hesitation? (FWIW, I am going, expect to lose, not really looking forward to it but just could not not be there if able to go).

I cant wait for Saturday myself but I don't think anyone who isn't going should have to justify themselves on here, each to their own. We all have our own lives to lead and we should respect that.

For me though any Saturday is something to look forward to. No work (well for me at least) relax, few beers, football/Hibs and this particular weekend its a cup semi final, even better than normal. Sure losing is ***** but hopefully I'll be full of the joys of victory and looking forward to yet another attempt at the Holy Grail next month for my train journey home.

Whether you're tuning in from home or watching in the pub or at Hampden itself, we all want to see Hibs win, we'll all be euphoric if we win, down if we lose, kick every ball, go ballistic when we score, get that disappointed feeling deep down inside if/when we concede. Its the joys of following a football team.

Anyway if no one else turns up and you're watching on tv I'm mad English b*****d stood on my own going mental in block F1. But I know that wont be the case, we'll be there loud and proud and we'll have legions at home and far and wide glued to the tv, radio or simply in their thoughts willing the lads on.

WE ARE HIBS!
:flag:

What a brilliant post. Enjoy your day and hope your journey home is a happy one! Respect.

Also think it would look better to have 12/13k spread between 20k seats rather than having whole blocks empty. It would also give people the option to move in case they were next to some muppet :)

If that's true its barely north of pathetic ...... certainly a long way off of 'not too bad' ..... 16,000 is not too bad, 12,000 is the usual suspects sticking by Hibs while the faint hearts ( hearts ... lol ... ironic or what? ) do what they always do.

It's hardly just the usual suspects given what we get through the door at ER these days. Even against Falkirk there was only about 8k Hibs supporters. 7k in the game before that against Livi. So whilst no great, it's no that bad really.

Something wrong if it wasn't. Edinburgh is 4 times the size of Dundee FFS! I know plenty of hibs fans who just can't be arsed to go. It's a semi final we should be taking 20k IMO

8,000 for the Falkirk game was pathetic as well ....... that just reinforces my opinion to be honest.

I'm pretty negative about hibs at the moment and no one I usually go with is going. I bought a ticket anyway, sitting in the middle of a row on my tod because it's a cup game and you never know what can happen.

I live in eternal hope that hibs are a good team, it's very frustrating how bad we are recently and I had hoped we would take more than 12k, it's really not a great amount and if things don't turn around soon then even more folk will stop coming to games.

Was told similar today. Via someone who supplies Hampden he's been told 24k max on Saturday expected.
We've only met Dundee United once before in the semi-final for the Scottish Cup 2005 when the attendance was 27,271. From memory that day we had about twice as many supporters that day than Utd.

And the rest,we sold over 20k that day. Utd had 5 men and their dugs in the corner.

Semi finals and Finals used to be a rare occasion for us, Recently we have been to hampden and involved in Semi Finals more times than any other club bar maybe Celtic and it's the same story almost every time I don't blame people for not going at the same time I can't stay away the build up to this game has been non existent for me and for my group of friends anyway...But I'm now buzzing for tomorrow let's hope a win can kick start our season again and Win the fans back

Leaving ourselves open for the West Coast media to bleat about not selling enough to justify a 50 % allocation for the final. I just hope the West Press remember Celtic and Inverness CT played their semi last year in front of 28 k. They can have their sell out on Sunday for their game but it was not the case last year

13000+ is still more than Hearts have taken to any semi final in the last few years, including 2 in their own city and their last Scottish semi at Hampden against Celtic.

Ringothedog
15-04-2016, 08:35 PM
Going by the 11 sections already sold out, the 2 with single seats only, that in itself is close to 12500 sold add in the other sections I will be very surprised if we have not sold at least 13500. Sales tomorrow will take us up to a minimum of 14000 at the game tomorrow. Not great but nothing to be ashamed of.

My figures are.

4300 - North
3700 - South
5500 - East
