Dot count for Partick

[H18 SFR]

Should really be sold out by lunchtime after which the South Stand should be opened up for home fans. Looking at 19k plus.

Delighted, if it's over 19k I relieve a Yam of a tenner.

I have asked Partick fan in the office where his seat is as he got one in the additional batch, he doesn't know. It would be handy if it is upper tier which would allow a few sections at the east of the south to be opened for walk ups.

They will have top and bottom of the South, if needed, end nearest the west stand

The South will be a split like the St Mirren game at the end of last season.

There was talk of a marquee with a bar to replace Behind the Goals at the south end of the East stand. Would that not restrict access to the south stand for Hibs fans?

Surely Hibs have thought on that and it wont restrict access
Hope not, its a good idea in the absence of BTG.

Gonna try Middletons this season for games other than the obvious ones.(away support)

The thing with walkups is we can't really say how many are going to turn up on the day though. Even if Hibs don't announce in advance the South will be open for PATG I'd be amazed if they weren't preparing to open it on the day or we'll be in a position where we're turning willing paying fans away with empty seats going begging.

Think it's safe to assume the demand is going to be there for Sevco games to reduce their allocation. I would hope the club are already looking at the logistics of it.

[lucky]

It's looking like a great crowd on Saturday but I'm not convinced that opening the South will attract many more Hibs fans. Clearly lots of walk up supporters have purchased their tickets already. It's also a bit early to talk about cutting the old firms allocation, even if we could sell out half the South we'd still lose out on 900x£28=£50400 4 times a season because of segregation. That's at least one players wage!

Agree about the OF games but I think we would sell a lot of tickets in the South for this Saturday.

When the South was opened against Dundee Utd around Christmas, Hibs sold every ticket made available to Home Fans in the South Stand. I think it would be the same for the first game of the season, going by sales so far.

[Lancs Harp]

As far as segregation is concerned, Hearts had about 10-12 seats on each row blocked off (checked on you tube against Celtic) if they had 900 seats out of use then they would have a stand with 75 rows in it, so clearly Hearts didnt block 900 seats off.

You're thinking of a different game. When we beat DU 3-0 at ER there was no tickets for Hibs fans in the South.

They brought over 2k, unusual for them, and the game was live on Alba too.

If 2 years ago , somebody told me we would be regularly almost selling out our 20k stadium against non category A opponents , and looking at 6 definite sell outs for category A games , i would have thought they were insane.

What a great time to be a Hibernian supporter. Lets keep up the passion and level of support we are currently showing because it has a big big impact on the players we can attract to the club.

I don't know. Did St Mirren not bring a similar size of support last season when we lifted the championship title?

It probably comes down to which areas of the south the Partick fans are going to be situated. If it's half of them in the bottom tier and half of them in the upper then we could easily split the south. If the 2K Partick fans are going to be situated across the bottom tier only, then probably highly unlikely we will be able to split the south.

Put in place a safe standing zone with licenced bar and food facilities underneath it. Taking the total capacity to around 22000. Add a third tier onto the West now that would look phenomenal!!

[GreenCastle]

[Renfrew_Hibby]

I know its all pie in the sky stuff but let's dream...
Fill in all 4 corners but the north east is the only corner we could fully fill in due to space. The other 3 corners would just be the lower tier only. This would still raise capacity to around 23,500.
With regards to each corner, the NE could incorporate a new club superstore and museum. Massive space here.
The other 3 corners would only be lower tier so a wall would be created covering where the upper tier would be. This would allow video screens in the NW and SE corners making those corners a bit like what you see at Ibrox. For the remaining SW corner where there's a bit more space I would incorporate 'stacked' executive boxes like Craven Cottage or Anderlecht's ground.
Vehicle access would be via the NW corner.
For real fantasy stuff, a third tier on the west and the extending of the east by say 10 rows of seating would give us a total capacity of 28,500!
The old school building in front of the west would be demolished, creating parking space and fabulous views from the third tier viewing!

Their allocation is 1,900 but they've not been given all of that to sell before the game, think maybe around 1,300/1,500 max which they've not sold out yet. So factor in a few hundred walk ups from them on Saturday and they'll hopefully have just over 1500 which is good going from them

Well done everyone, especially the management and Leanne, as its because of you that people are coming back in their droves.

I waited a bit too late to get tickets for me, my wife, and dad, and couldn't even get us all sitting together in the North lower (where we wanted to be). We're at least on the same row 👍

Keep the flow of sales going guys!

[Bob Box Fish]

With all the chat of filling in corners if we do need to increase capacity in the future why not put a third tier on the west stand? Would be over 3000 extra seats probably more than filling in the corners?

If it wasn't making money then that would have been down to the business model because it was filled to the brim every week.

We have a big decent bit of land between the east and north and a proper supporters facility, owned and ran solely by the club for supporters, could be a gold mine if done properly.

And I agree, stick a standing section on top of it with a giant telly / scoreboard. The rest of the corners don't need to be touched at this stage, IMO.

They have a total allocation of 1900. I have just looked on their site and the only option is South Lower. Which makes me think there will be no Hibs fans allocated seating in the South stand tomorrow.

Surely it means that they have sold their upper teir tickets first. We will have about 1200 south stand seats to sell if required

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

Is it such a bad thing to habe a sold out hibs end?

Surely it is the kind of virtuous circle that drives bigger attendances - demand outstripping supply should mean people buy earlier in future, thus adding to the demand.

That beimg said, if it keeps us we should defo look at splitting the south.

I suspect it wont be a problem all season though

Like I say, the business model wasn't right neither were the premises to get the best use of it.

If you have a purpose built facility that has a family section with a decent soft play, and an adults only section, say on an upper mezzanine floor, you would punt it out for kids parties and adult functions the other 345 days of the year. And that's just one example of many other things you could do with the space to make use of it as a supporters facility.

If it was run properly it would turn a nice profit although I'd argue that it's is for the supporters so as long as it isn't losing money and is promoting a better match day experience that in turn promotes better ticket sales, then it's still worth it.

If the stadium is now sold out in the available sections surely the south should be opened immediately for sale? Should just be automatic.

[GreenCastle]

St.mirrens allocation for the last game of last season was 1,900 so I would imagine Partick have the same sections.

It was a great atmosphere at the last game - stadium full and away fans making some noise but home fans making more.

It's been said numerous times on here before but if only we could West, East and North more often and then open up the South for Hibs fans it would mean less away fans - like the Old Firm.

Anyway - South Stand I would imagine will come online shortly for block 26 and 27.

If we have the demand we should always sell the south to Hibs fans over opposition fans. Its our ground and it should be used to primarily accommodate Hibs supporters.

[MartinfaePorty]

He's not usually a haver, to be fair, but maybe a bit optimistic. However, we have only had them at ER in a midweek League Cup tie in recent years, so difficult to gauge what current take up would be, especially as we can't compare their crowds at Tynie if they have only been given half that stand.

If the whole stand sells out to opposition then Hibs get more cash and a bigger crowd than if it's segregated. Could be 20k down the pan.

Yep.

We have a 20,000 seater stadium.
Last season we averaged a little over 15,000.
The last time we averaged over 15,000 was 1960/61.

If we kept that average attendance up for the next 5 seasons it would be a magnificent achievement.

Given that would be averaging a quarter of the seats empty it's difficult to make a case for spending large amounts of money putting in new seats.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but how do you get Hibs fans in to the east side of the south without them mingling with the OF fans?

Post match we would keep the ****s in the stadium like they do to us through there but still a bit of a gauntlet for Hibs fans pre match.

Absolutely agree. Keep the agreement with Hearts as long as they do same for us but for old firm, minimum possible. We'll definitely sell the rest to Hibs fans.
