Hibs v Falkirk, let the dot count begin ...

[221000]

This weekend is a massive game (as they all are at this stage of the season). Falkirk don't have a huge travelling support and will likely only bring 500 or so I'd guess. So, what kind of turnout can we expect in the Home stands for such a crucial game and given last week's poor result against Dumbarton? I'd hope to see a total attendance of around 15-16k? Has Calum started a dot count yet?!

The Houston factor has to some extent let Falkirk assume the (wholely inappropriate in my view) role of proxy jambos in the last couple of years. Therefore interest will be high. They really need to win, we can't afford to drop points or we cement the notion our form has fallen away at worst possible time and put enormous pressure on ourselves for the Morton visit.

I'm going to be bold and say the home stands will sell out and we'll finally see home fans for a non Hibs kids game in the South.

2 cup finals coming up...

We need a full house for this one and Morton.

Saturday's crowd wasn't too good for various reasons so important we make some atmosphere Saturday and get the 3 points we need. :agree:


(Before anyone posts t- we know the usual posts about...." wish the players would turn up etc etc etc" - just be a Hibs fan and turn up and support the team in a positive manner :greengrin)

If 14000 against Dumbarton is no longer considered a good crowd it shows how far the support has progressed. A couple of seasons ago it would have been more like 8000. The crowds have been astonishing this season especially given the average performances.

Probably was nearer 8000 than 14000 mind you.

[Garymcl]

Totally agree with you cog cmon all hibbys just turn up for the few remaining games left and let's get behind the team and individual players in each game this is such an important period in our history let's do our bit with our support starting this Saturday!!!! Let's fill the stands and roar them on:flag::flag:

[iwasthere1972]

No way was it nearer 8000. I was a bit surprised when the attendance was announced because I thought that it was more like 12,500 to 13,000.

[Broken Gnome]

I genuinely thought it would have actually been a shade over 10k. Dunno what the West was like, but a half full FF, East can't have had more than 4k in it and few hundred in the South.

[JimBHibees]

Probably was nearer 8000 than 14000 mind you.

Not a chance was it 8000 personally thought 13k or so.

I agree but as a matter of interest if you estimate how many were missing from each stand you come very close to 14k, well I do! West 1000 down = 6000, FF 600 missing = 3000, East don't know as that's where I was but let's say only 5000 in there and you get you 14k. Can't be far away although it's just a wild estimate 👍

You need to take account of a fair number of home supporters in the South, many of whom might have been sitting elsewhere.

I think the 14,000 quoted was pretty well correct.

[Keith_M]

I think our really high numbers are over for now, so maybe 13k


If we play like we should over the next three games, with decent results, they might increase again.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

The sad reality is the fans have been doing their part, the team has not done theirs. People will get disillusioned with what's been happening on the field but will stick in with the possibility of the cup final. When we secure the league would you reckon we could guarentee a full house in the home stands?

Right now that doesn't really matter. We as fans need to turn up for the next two games and hope it inspires the players to do the same. What happens next is irrelevant as we must secure the league at all costs. 👍

Very true. Like many other folk I've signed up for next season regardless of what happens this. I've no doubt we'll win this league and I think we'll retain the cup.

7 points clear at the top of the table and in the semi final would suggest the players havent done too bad up till now.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

But on the flip side we've struggle against teams that we should, in theory, be pumping. Yet, for whatever reason, just isn't happening. I missed Saturday as I sat with the fear through joseph with the fear for a couple of hours. From what I've read on here it was pretty turgid (as was Joe mcelderys Joseph)and not for the first time this season.

These players just need to screw the nut on and concentrate.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

In an odd way I wonder if there would be such a stooshie if all our iffy results had come away from home rather than at ER. Still, folk are absolutely allowed their opinions.

Depends how you count it, attendances or tickets sold.

I was more thinking of the attendance

[pollution]

Dot count thread here please!

Going well so far. I predict 16954 at the game.

[RoxburghHibs]

But how can you know that? The attendance is the figure given by the club. So I would guess just over 16000 for this match.

So we already know it'll be far in excess of the Dumbarton game. If you take it as 1,000 ST potential returns Thursday, we have around 13,300 tickets sold in the home stands. I think we'll easily go up to 15,500-16,000 plus whatever Falkirk bring. End of the day tomorrow will tell us a lot, but that's pretty healthy at this stage and suggests that a lot of people had forgotten about Dumbarton and were waiting on this one.

I thought we'd collect 3 points last week, and possibly drop a couple within the next 2 games. not what I expected, but I do feel that the fans realise the Falkirk game is so important and because of that there will be a big attendance. I'd be surprised if Falkirk don't bring at least 800.they think they are still in it, and have a habit of upsetting our plans.

[Sir David Gray]

I can't understand why this game wouldn't attract the same sort of interest as the Dundee Utd game in January i.e. a full house in the home section.

This is a huge, top of the table clash against our nearest challengers, just like it was in January. It's also a 3pm kick off on a Saturday and the Dundee Utd game was on a Friday night just after Christmas. We're constantly reminded by people that attendances are harmed by not having Saturday 3pm kick offs.

I'll be quite surprised if there's nowhere near a full attendance in the home end for this one.

Missed last week assuming it was three points in the bag
Importance of this next game now massive if Morton win
Will take someone along to this one as should be good Atmosphere if support font get to uptight early doors if we don't score

If they don't open the south and season ticket holders not planning to attend don't offer their tickets for resale then we can only have around 15,000 turning up with people wanting to attend being unable to buy tickets...............

This is ahead of where we would normally be on a Wednesday morning.

The Dundee Utd game on 6th January, 6 days before the match there was 2288 remaining. 5 days before was 2173 (basically the same as where we are now). 4days before there was 1,658 remaining. We obviously went on to sell out the home end.

Against Falkirk in November, 5 days before the match we had 1319 seats left in the East. at the minute we have 886 left. At 9am the Thursday before the game, there was 2815 remaining (around 650 more than we have already sold, a day earlier). The attendance went on to be 14,558.

I don't think Falkirk will bring as many fans as Dundee Utd did in January so I don't think it will be our highest crowd of the season.

However I do think it will be our third highest League attendance (15492) of the season if not the second (16477).

I know we go through this all the time, but with Falkirk bringing fewer than DU, will that make a decision, or a pay-on-the-day with tickets in pods for the South Stand easier?

We will not get more than around 15k unless Falkirk swell the crowd in the south and we put hibs fans in the south......three full stands less no shows = 15k

Don't have the skills/patience to count the lot, but a rough sample of some of the usual hotspots indicates a solid sale, and I say it's about 10% down on the last count of Calum's, so 1,852 left in home stands. Be closer to 1K by end of business today, I reckon.

Absolutely, the importance of these games can't be overstated this season, way more important than any cup final. These are the tickets Hibs fans should be scrambling for. Crunch game, 3pm Saturday KO on what looks like a glorious spring day. Baffling it's not sold out already?

Beat Falkirk and Morton at home and we are very close to being league champions.

Needs to be a loud and positive atmosphere tomorrow and Wednesday.

3 home games in a row will price some out of it.

And as much as people say it, none of these league games are more important (or likely to be in anywhere near as much demand) as a cup final.

Edit: Add in Scotland games and it's 5 games in 10 days for some.

[where'stheslope]

Over the season we have been lifted by our glorious cup win, and again we are in the semi-finals.

To the players it seems to me that they feel they have a better chance of winning the cup again and are taking their eyes of the biggest prize the League Title!!!

The manager has got to stop this late start in games, and taking the eye of the most important few matches of our season.

If the team goes out to play like its a cup final and fight like they seem to do in cup games we will be fine i'm sure!

If they come out slow and lethargic again, anything could happen?

The size of the crowd, going on past games means nothing, its what Hibs team turns up that really matters!!!

I know it doesn't have the same appeal as a cup final etc. but as Hibs fans we need to make sure we give the team all the backing we can. The consequences of losing these games are unthinkable. We need every bit of help we can get. Obviously people can only go if they can afford it and have no other commitments but if they can be there, they really should be. 👍

Up to the players now.

[we are hibs]

Reckon the crowd will just be under 16k

[Moulin Yarns]

Seating plan as at 9:25

[Pretty Boy]

It shows just how good the Hibs fans have been that somewhere between 14 and 16k is considered disappointing. We would have been hailing 11 or 12k for a league game as a big deal for much of the last 7 or 8 years.

Obviously we'd all like 20k every week but outwith Celtic and Rangers there is no precedent for that in Scottish football.

My thoughts exactly. 16k for a game v Falkirk and we are disappointed. How far have we come is great. Aberdeen are 2nd in Premiership and would not get this.

Looks like home end will be close to sold out with a few hundred above fans in South. Great effort!!

Absolutely

[jgl07]

I know it doesn't have the same appeal as a cup final etc.

Indeed. Hibs have already played Falkirk three times this season. We played them six times last season.

No wonder the supporters get fed up with seeing the same teams time after time.

However few objected to playing The Rangers for the sixth time last season!

And we certainly don't want to be playing them at all next season, unless of course we're both in the top league. These next two games are massive for Hibs as club though.

You're obviously forgetting about that lot over the city. Apparently they could fill that three times over just they dont have the capacity. Some also believe that Budge can walk on water.....

I think this will boost the walk up fans or people buying online on the day. Come on Hibs this is another 'cup final' we need win


i really think the club are missing a trick here, get the Factor 40 on sale in the concourse, i've actually came out of the East stand with sunburn after some games

[RamYer1902]

I'd like to think that it will at least be 16k plus given the importance. Reckon Falkirk will only bring around 1,000 tops.

I think it will be nearer 500 Bairns.

Crowd will be about 16k which is great.

[jgl07]

They appear to have printed off tickets for the pods.

Around 300 gone from the West (100 each from 01, 09 and 10), 160 from the East (60 from 27 and 100 from 45), but none apparently for the FF as yet.

That leaves under 1,000 left on the planner.

[houstonhibbee]

It will be reported as 16k tickets sold. Actual attendance will be nearer 14,500

[Pete]

I'll guess that we're looking at an actual attendance of about 15500 minimum.

Still absolutely fantastic and let's be honest, it's all down to the cup win. Imagine what kind of attendances we'll get if we're promoted and we retain the cup.

[RoxburghHibs]

Victory is ours for the taking infront of the large gathering of the faithful. A test to be swept aside in our journey to redemption and our rightful place at the top table of Scottish football.

We are the Scottish Cup Champions, the true pride of Edinburgh, We are Hibs, we rule supreme.

of course quite a few ST's wont turn up but it is a crucial game and if you were to look back when it was us or the bairns, quite a few years ago now the turnout was over 14.5 k iirc ?. that was a good bit before we had the SC feel good factor.

Had to release 3 Seats for today as stuck in London.

I usually forget but it make sense for ST holders who can't attend a game to contact the club and release the seats. Anyway hoping to hear that there were 15,000 there helping push the team on to victory!

Was nippy 1st thing but warming up nicely and looking like a proper spring day. Hopefully the sun tempts a few more out, just a pity it's the weekend before payday for most which might deter a few.

A wee reminder from the club.


Hibernian FC would like to reiterate our stance on pyrotechnics, which is that we condemn their usage within Easter Road Stadium and at other stadiums.
The use of pyrotechnics, including smoke bombs and flares, within football stadiums is extremely dangerous and is a serious offence, with the Club having a zero tolerance approach with regards to the carrying and usage of pyrotechnics at our matches. Recent events have led to two supporters receiving indefinite bans.
Hibernian will continue to work closely with Scottish Police, security and the football authorities to eradicate this behaviour at our matches.

For anybody who doubts that season ticket holders miss matches take a look in the Famous Five lower today, there are about 15 tickets left for sale yet there will be a couple of hundred minimum seats empty.

Similarly the central sections in the East are always sold out yet there are always plenty seats vacant.

These seats are paid for so it's no loss to the club in terms of ticket money but I reckon for some games there could quite easily be 1500 season ticket holders not attending.

Leeann may also have said this, but the statement definitely predates her.
I think it was Rod that said on average 10% of ST holders do not make it on any given day.

I suppose when you think of work, holidays, illness, family commitments etc and add in the supporters at home and abroad who buy STs to help the club and also to give themselves a chance of a cup final ticket :greengrin
