Attendance this Tuesday

[Dashing Bob S]

I'm not sure how many people showed up last Tuesday, what the official figure? Looked about 11,000 to me.

Anyway, I'm sure we'll do better against Falkirk.

They will bring 2,000 plus, so I'm thinking about 15,000.

[Nicho87]

I'll say 11,000, on TV, Falkirk have sold 800 so far. Can see them similar to rovers.

TV may have an impact, some kids may not come along so 12,418 for me

[Sir David Gray]

Similar to yesterday.

The TV will put a lot of people off.

I would guess at around 12,000.

[cabbageandribs1875]

last tuesday was officially the lowest attendance ever.........no one was there due to there being no game, but we did play in kirkcaldy last wednesday :)



sorry, just paying attention to detail :greengrin

Exactly.

[jgl07]

I argued that the cup was more important than promotion to Hibs. Most disagreed but less than 12,000 turned up against Raith and probably the same next Tuesday. Meanwhile there was great demand for the 21,000 tickets for the Scottish Cup final. Hibs managed to take circa 35,000 to the League Cup final.

Most seem to think that the cup is more important than promotion.

It's not that it's more important (at least to me) but winning the Scottish Cup will give people more joy than seeing us promoted.

I would rather get promoted than win the cup (if I had to choose between the two) but winning the cup would be the best moment of my life due to the history of it etc.

[jgl07]

In ten or fifteen years time will anyone remember if Hibs were promoted in 2016 or 2017?

If Hibs win the Cup it will be remembered for decades to come.

There is bugger all to choose between the Premiership and the Championship. Are Partick Thistle, Ross County, or Hamilton bigger clubs than Dundee United, Dunfermline, St Mirren?

Anyway it makes no difference as Hibs will win the cup and be promoted.

[monktonharp]

last tuesday was officially the lowest attendance ever.........no one was there due to there being no game, but we did play in kirkcaldy last wednesday :)



sorry, just paying attention to detail :greengrinthank you for that.I thought I was having a ******in' seniors moment!

[monktonharp]

I never understand why we don't put away fans in the top tierI'd rather we exclude away fans, like they do at gorgie. don't let them in for important matches.

[Penicuik Hibee]

In Dublin with work so won't make it - gutted. Fans have been asked to dig deep in their pockets with so many games in the last few months but the team need us more than ever over the next few weeks. Players must be knackered.

I am no expert in how people react to situations. But I have run a few marathons when there have been no people cheering you on and I have run a few when there have been big crowds at important places. Not sure if it is the same for the players who are used to noise from the terracing. But the lift I got from the crowds cheering def put a few extra miles on my legs when they were tired.

Lets make sure we put some extra miles in the players legs. They will need us.

[monktonharp]

I find it disheartning, nay, dismaying or even unbeleivable that this so called Hibernian family that we are all part of, cannot see the value of getting along to the holy ground to support the team on such an impotant occasion if we cant muster on the night a figure around 15,000. I know that wont happen, still depresses me. Aldo, you wont be there!

[SanFranHibs]

I never understand why we don't put away fans in the top tier

I am more perplexed that we cant seem to put teams away in the first half

:)

[Jones28]

My first game since the league cup final, me plus 4 so there's a few extra for you

[linlithgowhibbie]

I never understand why we don't put away fans in the top tier

It has a lesser capacity so on saturday v Raith they would probably have had to open the bottom tier as an overspill, however as a fan I would rather be in the top if given the option. The view from the 1st 10 or so rows must be mince.

Your question got the response it deserved, and i get accused of trolling? I love it how you seem to want those who dont go every week to go, but cant help abuse them in the process.

Show me a club where fans beyond the normal average attendance don't try to attend a cup final. Pretty pointless moan in my opinion especially if you have a final ticket yourself already.

[flash]

Tomorrow is a cup final too. Lose the tie and we are finished.
If you can make it and have the money please try to get along as full stands will give our boys a massive lift.

[Betty Boop]

Nah, got my cup final ticket.


See you ! :greengrin

[MartinfaePorty]

Just added this game to my season ticket online and it says kick-off is 7.45, however I'm sure the announcer after the game said 7.35pm. Take it this just an error from Hibs?

Maybe the announcer got mixed up between 7.30 and 7.45?

Official site says 7.45pm KO.

Can't understand anyone who can attend who won't. Massive massive game plus Falkirk are ********s.

I suspect his home abode is in his title, BLACKPOOL hibs, and a near 7 hour round trip is commendable when G comes tae games. I am a 4 hour return journey and trust me it's nae fun driving in the pissing rain, sleet, snow et all. Not all of us live within easy commute fella so lighten up eh.

I think its more of the baiting and trolling that Blackpool does that gets people's back up.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I was abroad playing in a waking football tournament last week and couldn't make the RR game on Saturday ... me and the other Hibbies that were there watched the game on a mobile phone in the bar ..... to be honest I couldn't believe how few Hibs fans were prepared to come out and back the team in our most important game of the season .... it was a good job the game wasn't on satellite TV coz I would have been embarrassed for the other teams players in the bar to see the home stands so sparsely populated for such a vital game.

The guys I was with are all match going fans, so you can probably add another 4 to the crowd on the 10th :aok:

[hibs69]

Whatever the official attendance was going to be, add one......, job cancelled, and can now go. Won't be sitting with my son & co but hopefully there ain't "roasters" on either side of me. That's the first time I've used that term. Feels good.
"Hey, ye wannae shut it ya flippin roaster."

I presume you mean away fans in upper tier and Hibs fans in lower tier - on that basis, never gonna happen police wouldn't allow it - safety reasons. How do you stop the upper tier throwing objects [coins/hot liquids/anything you can think of] onto those below / What about all the dafties [in both camps] who take defeat badly and want to go fighting after the game / Nah , for lots of reasons, not gonna happen. I do appreciate that the likes of Alloa, Livingston and quite a few others in this crappy league only run a few supporters tandems [seats available] to away games , however, it only takes a small handfull of dafties to cause an incident/disturbance.

Why does only one set of fans have the capacity to throw objects on those below?

Plenty of EPL stadiums seem to survive with the away fans in the upper tiers.

Newcastle do that. By the time the away fans reach their seats they're too ****ed to throw anything.

[Falkirk Bairn]

Falkirk have sold out of Lower Tier tickets for Easter Rd now and are now selling Upper Tier.

With it being a Tuesday night & on TV I thought around 1500 would travel but looking like more than that.

Pretty good effort so far. The bottom tier will hold around 1800-1900

I wouldn't have given you lot any more as you are only giving us 1800. Fairs fair.

[Falkirk Bairn]

I wouldn't have given you lot any more as you are only giving us 1800. Fairs fair.

The clubs have probably looked at % of stadium given. You have 2000 tickets v an 8000 capacity, so 25%.

And we can have nearly 4000 (won't need that) of your 20000 capacity roughly 20%.

The lower tier holds 2000 at easter rd. upper holds 1800. You better hope you sell them all as any unsold will have to be paid for by yourselves :aok:

[CallumLaidlaw]

I dont blame Falkirk for trying to get as many of their own fans to the home game as possible. Its not quite like last year when Rangers gave us 900 tickets in a 50,000 seater stadium. We'll have nearly 25% of the crowd at Falkirk. I'd maybe have held tickets back from them if there was any chance of us selling our home end out, but unfoirtunately we won't be anywhere near close to selling 16000 for tomorrow.

[21.05.2016]

You need to factor in all the extra sad maroon muppets whose season ended when we dumped them out the cup. They are still seeking some form of solace :greengrin

Yep, i'm sure as per usual there will be a few of the obsessives coming along as we've seen them do in the past. I suppose though, this and the SC final are probably the biggest games of their season.

Fair play, didn't expect use to sell that many tbh.

[tanfield]

Just bought 5 but didn't give me a print at home option?

[BoltonHibee]

Can you just roll up and pay at the gate, or is it more complicated than that?

[GreenCastle]

This is a massive game so hopefully fans continue to back the team - easy to stay at home but hopefully fans will realise it's more beneficial to actually turn up and help the atmosphere.

Falkirk tweets saying over 1200 sold for ER and upper tickets on sale - are they splitting the stand? Whole bottom tier holds are 2000 I think.

They have sold over 5000 for home leg on Friday - Hibs have 1800 and should sell out = 6800 - stadium holds 8750 (record attendance is 7804).

[RoYO!]

This is a must win game tomorrow.

Get along and show support. The team needs us. Falkirk fans will be vocal.

And finally...

15 quid!!

[mcfly]

I think its more of the baiting and trolling that Blackpool does that gets people's back up.

Correct sir

[JeMeSouviens]

Can you just roll up and pay at the gate, or is it more complicated than that?

There should be ticket pods (portacabins) outside the ground.

[Rasta_Hibs]

Can you just roll up and pay at the gate, or is it more complicated than that?

There is a cash gate In operation.

[HibeeLR]

Gutted that I have to miss this game, only other home game I have missed this season was the previous against Falkirk. However I have my tickets for Friday night so hoping we go into that with the lead 😃

[Hermit Crab]

If any of the tickets are for a student then there is no print at home option due to Hibs requiring to see relevant student ID, the same may apply to any over 65 or child tickets.

[HibsNutter]

Take it the East stand pod will be open as usual? Got a fair few non-regulars coming, hopefully that's common with others!

[Hermit Crab]

Should be, along with the FF5 pods. Why not go online and buy them now? That way you can actually choose your seats print the tickets at home. No queues to contend with tomorrow either.

I'll get one out the pods as there didnt seem to be enough time to get it online and deliverance.

I have read a few posters stating that the bar code on confirmation works on their smart phones, and watched my mate do the same with ease. Is there a particular reason why Hibs don't encourage this as another option? It makes purchasing tickets in advance even more simpler than it already is.

I've been doing it when I've went second half of the season. Works a treat. No queuing needed. I've found just need to have your phone in 'landscape' when scanning it. Meant I got loyalty points without having to queue at TO. Also when I've decided to go to a game at short notice because I finished work early been the easiest thing to do.

No but it'll happen to someone eventually.

According to a bairn on another thread they've sold the bottom tier and are onto the top tier. Personally speaking I would've given them the same as we're getting at Falkirk (1800) and left the rest empty. Not really in our interest to have a large travelling support when we don't pocket the cash...

Always find it a bit odd that we give the away fans the bottom tier rather than the top tier and further away from the pitch. No idea if we need to do that in tv games though.

Unless its a large away following then I'd always put away fans in the top tier of the South, Up to 1800 can be accommodated in there. Far more than most teams bring. Keep them as far away from the pitch as possible. Other teams do that. Especially down south.

[Albanian Hibs]

According to a bairn on another thread they've sold the bottom tier and are onto the top tier. Personally speaking I would've given them the same as we're getting at Falkirk (1800) and left the rest empty. Not really in our interest to have a large travelling support when we don't pocket the cash...

Wonder if they are only getting half the bottom and top stand?

Good point, nobody seems to know for sure.

[Lancs Harp]

I think its better to keep the away fans in the lower tier. Surely the acoustics would be better at the back of the stand and they could make more of a din? What gives the away team a bigger plus, having their fans nearer to the pitch or making more noise? I'd say making more noise myself.

Ticket sales are looking good

Only single seats available in East stand sections 40, 42 and 43. 41 sold out.

Season ticket seats not sold will become available from midday today. So this will free up some seats.

That will free up a few thousand as it did on Sunday.

Agree completely. Why allow them to be nearer the pitch putting pressure on our goalie for example if we dont need to.

[Real Emerald]

Now that the un-sold ST seats have been released the crowd for tonight looks very poor to say the least. Very disappointing given the gravity of the game :confused:

There will be plenty walk ups. :agree:

That's good because there would appear to be around 2,500 spare seats in the FF alone! The place should be rocking for a game of this size and importance.

[flash]

Wow looks like it's the season ticket holders letting the side down here.

its amazing how many people turn up not realising they have to get it added it their tickets. lots of ST members actually buy other seats on these night also.

Well it must be at the Playhouse then because they haven't bought them for Easter Road. I've got my wife and sons GF sitting two sections away in the East way up in the gods only to see section 41 half full, which is normally pretty much rammed. Really don't understand this :confused:

[SJM]

That's good because there would appear to be around 2,500 spare seats in the FF alone! The place should be rocking for a game of this size and importance. I would guess there will be a lot of Famous fivers moving to East or West tonight for a change,

[Thief]

Gutted! Thought I'd wait until season tickets were released. Nipped home to order, must've got in 2 minutes before they released all the tickets around 12.30. Ended up with 3 crap seats in the west and the east is now half empty!
No one in the ticket office answering the phone. Appreciate they're busy but surely someone should be tasked with answering the telephone!

[Brightside]

FF looked empty at the last game also...which i never understand as are they not the cheapest seats?

Should just close that stand. Its barely half full.

Who cares, as long as they got their extra ticket to give to their daytripping wife/pal for the final.

As long as they are pumping in the money to allow us to buy new players at the end of the season.

[Hermit Crab]

What about them? They don't turn up most weeks. The stand is always poorly populated. Against Dumbarton you're lucky if there was 300 in it. Thats a 3800 capacity stand.

[flash]

Come on people get your erses in gear and get the place filled up.

[pacoluna]

have to laugh at the pay at the gate "supporters" who are having cheeky digs at the ST holders. I shouldn't bite but its hilarious, is Tuesday night not shopping night?

[Ringothedog]

I would guess that we have sold anything between 7500 & 8000 so far, its going to be a nice evening and would think that we could sell another few thousand by kick off. There could be around 12000 minimum tonight.

[MWHIBBIES]

Sorry what is your problem? I asked you a simple question and you just reply with pathetic, sarcastic answers. I'll try asking again, what about the folk who sit in the FF every week and have done for years?

Ok then. Relocate the 2 or 300 that sit there to the West or East at no extra cost.

[Billy Whizz]

If loyalty points had been on offer, they'd have been snapped up already

[FranckSuzy]

There's nearly 6 hours until KO so maybe slagging the attendance could wait until 7.45, naw? Plenty of time for more tickets to be purchased :aok:

[scoopyboy]

They could argue move the east or west into the north.

Bottom line is that there are three stands to pick from and they are entitled to sit anywhere they like.

Agree totally, the crowd will be what it is....but there is a long time until Kick off and we as fans are notorious(for a lot of things) at buying tickets at the last moment.

[Blaster]

Mostly young kids who can't go midweek, no?

Are they the ones who hang about behind the goals and steal the ball when it goes into the crowd and fight over it when we are getting beat further delaying the game?? :greengrin:greengrin

My youngest is 8 and normally goes but has his own football training on tonight

[CallumLaidlaw]

Well me and my son won't be there tonight and I am absolutely gutted. Simply cannot get babysitters for my 10 month old. Have relied on in laws a lot recently for various matches, and my wife doesn't finish until 8pm. I have already managed to re-arrange usual friday night activities (sons football, wife's gym class) to go to Falkirk. But I'm still gutted about tonight

[Waxy]

I was going to leave the bairn as its a school night but he's been moaning his face off about wanting to go.

[SJM]

It's going to a lovely night. **** everything else an get to the game.

[RoxburghHibs]

Ok then. Relocate the 2 or 300 that sit there to the West or East at no extra cost.


The Famous Five stand holds just under 4000 - so more like 1500/2000 in there.

I shall be wearing shorts since it's nice weather.

take him out of training

Hopefully there will be a few walk ups and last min ticket sales throughout today

Ok then. Relocate the 2 or 300 that sit there to the West or East at no extra cost.Far more than 2/300 and no, that doesn't work at all. No behind the goals seating for home fans?

How about we close to east/west and put you in another seat?

[EH54]

and how exactly do you know its ST Holders that are letting the attendance down tonight? They might have re located to sit with family or friends rather than sit in there reserved spot?

[rcarter1]

Correct, no way of knowing really. Hope it fills up a bit with walk ups, as a fired up atmosphere should help the lads tonight..
