Falkirk: the Dot Count

[Dashing Bob S]

Can we sell out the home stands for the first time this season?

[Ozyhibby]

Starting a dot count thread without counting any dots? Lazy b*******. [emoji23]

I was at a wedding this weekend, so I fear that the dots in front of my eyes would distort the count.

[Sir David Gray]

Can we sell out the home stands for the first time this season?

I would doubt it.

Probably looking at an attendance of about 15000 which is still decent.

[.Sean.]

I'm on call yet again as we're ridiculously understaffed so I'll miss it. Could greet :rolleyes:

[MartinfaePorty]

I'm on a train back from the Scotland game so another one out, although ticket going to a friend.

Think the weather could be a factor as well, it looks like it could be bloody Baltic after weeks of decent temperatures at our home games, that could put off a few who don't have a cozy coat :greengrin

At Wembley on Friday night, flight gets into Edinburgh Saturday @ 12:00. Taxi home, shower, brush teeth (x3), have some lunch (if I can face food), jump on the bus with the bairn to ER. Sorted.

[erin go bragh]

Myself plus four will be going .

Sounds good but I would have my lunch and then brush my three teeth if I was you

[Albanian Hibs]

On the 10am train back from London on Saturday. Get in at 2.25pm. Taxi down to ER - good luck to who is sitting next to us 😎🍻😂

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Me plus 2 defo, maybe 3.

[CB_NO3]

The biggest game of the weekend is at ER. Could not care less what happens at Wembley.

Hopefully a big crowd will help to spur us on to victory.

Anyone got the capability and time to give a dot count update?

For the stmirren game I counted the east stand on the thursday lunchtime. There was 1142 remaining in the east and we went on to have 14485 at the game.

I've counted the east in the last 10 minutes (48 hours earlier than i counted the St Mirren game) and it looks like this -

37 - 263
38 - 78
39 - 101
40 - 68
41 - 26
42 - 44
43 - 69
44 - 386
45 - 284

1319 remaining

So 177 seats short of the st mirren game with 48 extra hours to sell them.

You mean you're going to jump on the bus with a Falkirk supporter ? :wink:

[H18 SFR]

I'm taking 3 of my Ayr Utd fan mates provided I go with then the next day at St Mirren.

One is particularly keen on SJM, he hasn't clicked yet that he might not be playing.

Damn fine work

[djs69]

The dot count doesn't work, approx 10% season ticket holders miss each game (that came from Leanne) and the exec seats top tier centre are usually about 75% empty

[Dashing Bob S]

It doesn't work in so far as it doesn't tell you the exact attendance on the day, but it does work in telling you the exact number of seats sold and any still available for purchase.

There is no mechanism for identifying whether more or less than Leanne's average 10% of season ticket holders show up on the day, so it's the best we have.

Good to know it's 10% though. That means we can subtract roughly 1,100 from the number of tickets sold in the home stands to estimate the attendance.

[PatHead]

There are just over 100 coming from various British Legions, Royal Navy club and other ex-service associations. There are also more severely disabled supporters from Erskine going to be in BTG during the game.

BTW anyone know a piper?

[Juice-Terry]

Bump. Anyone care to do a count? Cheers.

[Keith_M]

Not including the executive seating in the west...

West Upper : 398
West Lower : 612

FF Upper: 536
FF Lower: 78

East: 1191


Total: 2815








I'm off sick and bored ;-)

East looking identical to the St Mirren game then, so expect a crowd upwards of 14,500 with Falkirk bringing a bigger crowd than St Mirren.

[GreenCastle]

Next 3 games are huge...

We need to beat Falkirk and widen that gap with them even further.

Let's fill up the home end !

[RoxburghHibs]

Yeah I would expect just over 15,000 at this match - if we had got this last season we would have been delighted!

I'm amazed every home game that the attendances are still so high.


I thought there'd be an initial boost then they would settle in to around 11-12,000 (still better than last season).

Me too.

I think we will get lower crowds for the games next Saturday against QOTS and on Saturday December 10th against Dumbarton but hopefully they will still be decent attendances.

When you doing your next update?

Our average is 15203,so anything over that would be a great effort.

[PatHead]

Think quite a few season ticket holders will be missing with the Scotland game on Friday night and the egg chasing on Saturday.

Know quite a few who can't make it.

Are you going on Saturday?

Yes but in the Famous 5 with Erskine vets.

Be in BTG top floor.When you back?

[tartanhibee]

Back into the Waverley 1300 ish then heading down. I'll possibly head to Btg.

[Real Emerald]

Doesn't look to be as busy as the previous home matches this season. I'm surprised because Falkirk to me are one of the big games in this league and I for one am desperate to see us put one over Houston after last years antics.

Still time for the seats to sell so I'm hoping for a late rush, would like a big noisy support for this one. :thumbsup:

Agree great opportunity to knock them back and potentially out of sight. Cant see SJM starting think we might bring Marv in for this one as will be a feisty game IMO.

[NAE NOOKIE]

It looks like a number of factors are going to conspire to keep the crowd under what it might have been for this one.

A few will be in London
The natural drop off I expected after the initial cup final euphoria had worn off
Falkirk aren't looking like the challenge they might have been .... still a tough game though
The weather forecast for Saturday is terrible
Some folk will be at the Rugby ..... oh dear!

Serious question ...... do the police ask the RFU to schedule games so they don't clash with Hearts being at home? If they do it seems a bit unfair on Hibs from a commercial point of view.

I don't think there's ever been any consideration given to Scotland rugby matches clashing with Hibs or Hearts games. Tomorrow's game with Australia is a sell-out and will definitely take a few off our crowd. I'm working this weekend so unable to go to either game, although I'd have plumped for Easter Road.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Is it?

The forecast I saw yesterday showed heavy rain lingering over Edinburgh on Saturday and lasting for the whole of the afternoon. As I read your reply the forecast came on the TV and now its changed, it looks like the rain will clear in the morning and Edinburgh will be ok apart from the chance of the odd rain shower.

[Real Emerald]

Is it?

I think a couple of days ago it was forecast heavy rain and winds but as you say it looks to be fine now, mild with sunshine on Leith. :agree:

[Sir David Gray]

Anyone in London for tonight's game could easily make it back to Edinburgh by 3pm and anyone preferring rugby over a Hibs home game should give themselves a shake.

It would be a pity if the attendance was under 15000.

Looks like it may be ok but as you say they change.

I generally use the BBC but different companies sometimes have different forecasts for the same place at the same time!!!!

[Keith_M]

Had a quick look earlier and we don't seem to have sold many tickets since yesterday morning.

Maybe there'll be a last-minute mad rush.

There will be a "false" rush shortly when the ticket office print off blocks of tickets for the pods.

Usually in less frequented sections, like sections 1,9, 25,37 and 45.

[Valencia]

Bought my ticket about a hour ago but no e-mail with my ticket has arrived.

[andrew70]

Usually arrives pretty much straight away. Possibly in your junk emails?

Looks like you're right, Sections 1, 10, 15, 25, 37 & 45 just had a large reduction in the number of available seats.

In in the days when the police knew how to handle crowds there was one Saturday when Scotland played Wales in front of 80,000 ,we had a cup tie against Aberdeen with 30,000(including quite a few Taffs who had decided to follow the red scarves to a different ground)and Hearts had over 40'000 for their cup tie with Rangers.No bother anywhere.

[Earlydelivery]

Looks like the weather has changed . Rain will be away by 12pm sat , then sun .

[jgl07]

It will probably depend on how many Falkirk supporters are confident enough to come through for the match.

It may also depend on how many Hibs fans can avoid the lure of staying in London or watch the bloody egg chasers?

It really ought to be 16,000 but Inthink it will be nearer to 15,000.

I remember that though I think the rugby was against France. We lost 4-3 to sheep having been 4-0 down & sheep keeper, Reggie Morrison was MOTM. The answer to OP however is yes. Crowd control for both PBS & Rugby is (or was) managed by Torphicen St while ER is managed by Leith. Therefore they prefer to keep Yams/egg chasers separate.

Excited for the game today - Hibs over Scotland always.

[we are hibs]

He many roughly sold now? Hopefully those who do turn up try and get a bit of atmosphere going and get behind them in the first of a few difficult games.

I just got 3 tickets for the East just now . Only a few tickets left at the front or right at the back of block 39

[Jones28]

A quick glance at the seating plan and I'd say there were no more than 1500 in the Hibs end

[southsider]

Brilliant day for football today. Very mild for November. Hope for good few walk ups.

[northstandhibby]

Brilliant day for football today. Very mild for November. Hope for good few walk ups.

It's looking like another bumper crowd today. A good number of walk ups could make it a huge home crowd. I hope so as this is a crucial win for us to keep us from DUFC.

Hope to see ER rocking today to give the team another push towards the title.

Come on the Cabbage :not worth

Taken at 13:20-GMT


17630


There's only 1 seat available in section 40 and 2 in section 41, so both probably about to go red as well

[Dashing Bob S]

I'm lucky in that international football has never really done it for me. In addition, I hate the small minded west coast orientated football authorities and therefore pretty much anything to do with Scottish football that isn't Hibs. I would have giggled had Scotland been crushed by anybody else bar England, but as they are just as obnoxious in their own way, I content myself with a smile of disdain and a patronizing "will they ever learn" shake of the head.

A long way of saying that I find myself in fine fettle for this championship contest, with zero emotional baggage from other footballing sources.

[Ringothedog]

There will about 13500 today , both Scotland games will have an impact.
