What a terrible kick off time.

[Albanian Hibs]

What a terrible kick off time.

12 noon on a Sunday is crap. Hopefully wont affect the crowd too much.

[andrew70]

That's horrendous.

Just when we were getting decent attendances they go and move one of the bigger games.

It's up against United v Stoke on TV so god knows why they've done that.

[cleanyman]

I can't make that

Noooooooo

[Off the bar]

Ffs I've just booked to come up that weekend and was looking forward to the game I can't make that now. Boooooooooo

[JDHibs]

Good money for the club.

As always though, the fans get shat on.

[GreenCastle]

That is crap...can't make it now.

Was really looking forward to this one also!

Saturday 3pm and we would have possibly had a full house - now...not quite sure..

[PPZPOL]

I CAN make it now - YAAAAAY!

[CapitalGreen]

There's the media coverage folk were moaning about not getting.

[steve75]

For folk saying this will ruin any chance of a good crowd, I'm pretty sure Petrie came out a few years ago and said the club found that moving games to undesirable KO times had virtually no affect on attendances.

That being said, 12 on a Sunday is awful.

Find that hard to believe.

[Billychaotic182]

i work all day on Sunday. Noooooooooo

:top marksCan't have it both ways.

[zlatan]

Wonder if Sportscene will show the highlights

No he didn't, in fact he said the exact opposite to me behind the goals.

[cabbageandribs1875]

12 o'clock ko :rolleyes: GTF TV




and anyone thinking it won't affect the attendance is living in cloud cuckoo land i think

[MB62]

I didn't think there was a T.V. deal in place for the Championship, we don't even get highlights of any games now.
I bought my S.T. because of this and the fact that ALL games were going to be played at 3.00pm on a Saturday. I'll still be there but not happy about such a 5h1t K.O. time :grr:

[B.H.F.C]

Crap KO time but can deal with it as long as it isn't every other week. Which I don't think it will be this year.

[calumhibee1]

Generally I would agree that moving KO times can't have that big an impact, however that's about as bad as it gets. For someone for example with a couple of kids having to get them ready, and yourself ready and having to be out the house at 11am on a Sunday after running about daft for 2 hours to get to the game and shell out £50 when it's on the TV anyway will simply lead to alot of people in that sort of predicament not going. Even someone who drives to the game on a Sunday can rule out having much of a drink on a Saturday night just to be able to drive themselves there, again, something which will make alot of people decide to just watch it at home.

Nobody says there wasn't one.

Sky have had a camera at every Hibernian game this season showing the goals on Sky Sports News HQ and online. They are still all on the website.

We moan when they don't cover Hibernian and moan when they do.

We play Dundee United again in January during the Scottis Premiership winter shutdown, so there is every chance that we could be live on one of the channels then.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Its clear that some folk are going to miss this one because of the change from Saturday to Sunday, but on the other hand surely some folk who normally work on a Saturday get the chance to go along ..... swings and roundabouts as they say.

But a 12 noon kick off is the absolutely worst time imaginable, its going to put folk off. The way our crowds have gone up to now and the fact that Dundee Utd would almost certainly have brought a couple of thousand fans with them I would have predicted a crowd north of 18,000 for this game. It will be interesting to see how many do turn up .... if the crowd is under 16,000 it wont be hard to see where the blame lies.

On a brighter note ..... If two years ago somebody had told me I would be calling a crowd of less than 16,000 for a league game with Dundee Utd disappointing I would have laughed at them.

[Ronniekirk]

Am sure this game would of been a near sell out if ithad been a Saturday 3 pm kicjk off so it will be easy to see if change in day and time impact on the attendance for this one

[KingFranck]

Thanks Sky ...

I coach a lads football team and our games are always 11am Sunday so there's 2 ST holders unable to go me and mini Franck.

How many more Hibees in the same boat as me? There must be loads of kids as well who have Season Tickets who play on Sundays !!

[CB_NO3]

We dont get any extra cash for it.

Yes my son has Sunday morning games so just hope they manage an early ko

[Sir David Gray]

I can't go now because I'm off on holiday on that morning.

I was able to make the Saturday!

[banarc7062]

Exact same scenario however there was always chance this would happen.

[JimBHibees]

Why not?

[Keith_M]

I can't see this having much of an affect on the Attendance. Yes, it must be a pain for anyone that already has plans on that day but I think they'll be outnumbered by the people that couldn't make it on the Saturday.

Dundee is an hour and a half drive away, so the visiting fans won't exactly have to get up in the middle of the night.

I think the worst affected are those that come up from England for the game, as the Lancashire guys have about a four hour drive.

[JDHibs]

Yes we do.

I agree but 12 is a bit early though I think for a Sunday. It sounds silly but 12.30 or even 12.45 makes a bit of difference to some, particularly the away fans

[Keith_M]

Yes we do.


When this was discussed previously, it was stated that the clubs get a fixed amount at the end of the season, but no extra cash per TV appearance.

Has that changed?

Agree terrible time and Saturday would be much better. I am based West Lothian so no chance of making it.

Pretty certain that because the current TV deal doesnt include for ANY championship games, that we get an extra amount, plus, the inconvenience of changing the game to the Sunday etc.

I have no doubts some one will correct me if im wrong.

Thats rubbish. Had that weekend all nicely planned out too. Booooooo

[Bristolhibby]

As an English based fan I get to watch Hibs. Down side is I'm at Wembley for the NFL so no chance of seeing the game.

Will have to Sky+ it and avoid the score.

Incidentally last year the game vs the Huns was on at the same time I was at the NFL in November and we won that game 2-1. Same again please.

I'm sure being in West Lothian cant make it that difficult to get to ER for 12noon.
Trains run, busses run!

PS I'm sure there will be seats on our supporters club bus if you are on our route in

[Finn2015]

Great can't go as there isn't a train up in time Sunday morning from Crewe.

[Swedish hibee]

A Sunday early game pretty has not much atmosphere for those of us watching.. Selfish I know!

[lyonhibs]

It's West Lothian you're in, not Western Canada.

[Scouse Hibee]

Games have been getting moved for years, it's the norm.

[Jonnyboy]

It's surely not such a surprise that this game is being covered on TV. Alba has a contract for a few Championship games IIRC and Hibs will be an obvious choice for them. I know this one is SKY but the same logic applies.

[hibee]

Yes, my two boys play on a Sunday, one at 10 and one at 11 so that's 3 season tickets that are likely to be unused.

Hibs don't really care about ST holders missing games though since we've already paid for it.

I didn't realise this was a possibility this season, incorrectly assumed they'd be concentrating on the SPL. Hopefully they will cover a few away league matches if it's going to continue.

There was talk of us running a bus for this game, not now. :boo hoo:

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Get David Platt to give you a lift when he's on his way up to sign ;)

[GreenLake]

Three more points for Hibs before I get out of bed.

No

[PISTOL1875]

I have the first part of my coaching badges on that Sunday 11-5... ******g hate TV games...

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Cracking... Can make the game now!!!

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

We won't want to merge this with the thread about lack of coverage of the Championship?

[JimBHibees]

It's West Lothian you're in, not Western Canada.

I realise that. Coach a team and have a game at 11 so might be struggling for 12 noon kick off. :aok:

Would be there but coach my sons team and game starts at 11.

[drummondst]

Brilliant - NOT !!
Four of us had booked advance rail tickets for the game on the 1st October .
From the Green Man ( !! ) Leamington Spa, Warwickshire
No chance now for Sunday 2nd @ 12 noon. Will also have to compete for the
pub telly with Man Utd being on . Fat chance !
May be able to re schedule train tickets for Oct 29th against St Mirren - at a price .

We are exactly the same, I coach and my boy plays. Our game KO time is 11:30am so no chance of making it, therefore 3 ST's (daughter as well) unlikely to be used.

Shame, but I know the risks. Very annoying though.

[Billy Whizz]

I hate Sunday games, particularly early KO's, atmosphere is poor as well

I'm in exactly the same boat. Maybe just need to pitch up at half time

[Bishop Hibee]

I can go but Sunday lunchtime kick offs are dire.

[Scott Allan Key]

Now won't have time to get from work and get kids ready before travelling to game. Fuming. Saturday's were my day off for a reason. Wish I could get compensation from cost of my season ticket from Sky, etc.

[emerald green]

12 noon KO on a Sunday just seems to kill the atmosphere at matches.

Also, some folk still attend church services on a Sunday morning.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

For all those who can't make it for whatever reason, pass on your season card to someone who can. A friend or family member, let's negate this kick off time as much as possible!

Are people still going to church these days, are they giving out free beer or what?

My wife assists with the Children's Liturgy, and we take both our kids on Sunday mornings. She'll have to go it alone that Sunday mind you, but poking fun at those who do attend places of worship of their choice is always a little bit of a cheap shot.

Are people choosing to waste time on a make believe guy above the clouds rather than go and see the Hibees? Any better? :wink:

Free wine mate.

[Earlydelivery]

Being selfish here but delighted it changed to Sunday getting back from holiday early Sunday morning ,I can now make it

[Suburban Hibby]

Free wine mate.

Clearly not Free Presbyterian- still have Port with our Communion!

And no that's not the reason we go!

Minister is a good Hibby too!
