Very true. They used to be alllocated the whole of the South Stand but I can't recall it being full in 20 years. Later they were only given half the stand and struggled to fill that.

Only time I remember them selling the full south was back in around 2002, may have been opening game of the season. Luna scored for us but we lost 1-2 to a late goal IIRC

[Earlydelivery]

I can go back when they won the title at ER , 12k at game .. lucky if they brought 8k down . Now imagine if it was the other way round .. how many would we have took up their ?

[lucky]

I can't see us filling 5 blocks in South before tomorrow's kick off.

Ideally yes but going by previous South Stand games with Hibs fans in it - probably won't happen.

Get some tourists in for free and hopefully they will buy some food and drink etc / enjoy the game and maybe even come back for Tuesday's cup match!

Why give tickets away for free to tourists? If we are going to give away free tickets I'd rather to unemployed and working poor and their kids.

[Winston Ingram]

Around 10 years ago Aberdeen would consistently sell out the south stand

The brought a larger crowd than everyone bar the OF and Hearts but i can't ever remember them selling out. :confused:

[Winston Ingram]

That's my recollection too. Never seen a totally full away stand from them, good numbers at times but never sold out that I can recall.

Think that would have been the game in the Mowbray era when Stephen Glass scored a peach of a volley!

[Posh Swanny]

I'm talking Mowbrays first and second season time, they definitely sold it out when both teams were going for Europe that season. And they were definitely given the whole end because they'd fill the vast majority of it which is what I was getting at

I remember that game. Darren Mackie scored a couple of flukey headers. They had the whole south and there were more than normal (2500+) but was definitely not full. There must be a clip on youtube somewhere of their winner.

[blackpoolhibs]

Come back to me when we are selling out the next 5 home games. Get a grip... fill in corners.....what a load of waffle.

The fill in the corners is just a light hearted bit of fun, but you know that.

Never mind, i guess you are hoping we dont win too often, as you might see more full houses for you to moan about.

Mackie goals at around 2:30 in this compilation. You can see lots of spaces in the away end and a whole empty block next to the West as the cross comes in. Pretty sure only half of the upper was open too now I think about it,

Would have to have security measures like showing ID and print their names on the tickets like they do in Rome, just to prevent tickets falling into the wrong hands

I dont know, maybe a different crowd? When I am away with my wife, she would kick me in the nads if I suggested spending an afternoon at a match.

I guess it depends who it is - I live near the Meadows (and love the festival etc) but the majority of the tickets go to locals and any tourists here could barely pull themselves away from George Square or The Pleasance never mind get north of London Road.

Plus.........we dont seem to need them now we are selling out :greengrin:greengrin

Aye, we can put them in the corners. :duck:

[H18 SFR]

Is it not rule there has to be a certain distance if fans are sharing stands?

I don't think so, certainly not based on the differences at ER, Ibrox, Celtic park and Tynecastle which on many occasion last year had very little gap. Against Aberdeen, I recall it being 4 columns.

[Sean1875]

Is it not rule there has to be a certain distance if fans are sharing stands?

Maybe its different in Scotland, but you see games in England (Arsenals Emirates springs to mind) where the segregation seems to just be a waist high fence and one steward either side... as I say it could be different up here though! :take that

Just wondering, if and it's a big if, we performed really well this season and selling out each home game, I wonder if we would actually look to fill even two corners for now? Or all of them if possible that is?

Hibs are going in the right direction and have been on and off the pitch for 3 years now. We know the fan base is there and it seems when the board do throw money at our manager to get his targets we then return the favour. Either way just a thought, and maybe suggest we don't get our materials from China!! 👀

There's every chance we'll fill the corners in before the tramps finish their tip 😂😂😂

[Callum7]

If my calculations are somewhat correct Patrick thistle will have been given sections 29,30,34,35,36 and 185 seats out of section 28. Now assuning that we're given the rest of the seats we will need to sell all of sections 33,32 and 31 as well as the few seats left in section 26, most of section 27 and 185 seats out of section 28 (the same as thistle got) with the rest going to segregation. So if that all makes sense (probably not) we will need to sell another 1,436 seats to completely sell out. :nerd:

Is there benefit to filling the corners if we will have segregation ( two corners) in them at 6 games a season ?

If you put another tier on the west you would have 3000 extra for all games .

Think if we were to consistently be challenging for top 3 over the coming seasons then it's a possibility.As it stands there's alot of factors why were nearly selling out,1st game back in the SPL,manager,current squad etc but if we continue the progress then it's a possibility.

While I agree that now is not the time to plough lots of money into the stadium I do not think it is nonsense to 'plan' for future stadium improvements which MIGHT include increased capacity. And every spare penny should be not invested in the playing personnel for the next few years. It has to be a balanced strategy. I do not pretend to know how any club might best utilise their budget but personally if, for example, we were to get £4million for SJM which I know is just a figure plucked out of the air, then I might like to see that or part of it used to upgrade Easter Road and hopefully the increased revenue will pay for personnel. Some might think it best if we made a couple of good sales to wipe out our debt. Maybe we should always carry a manageable debt?

My point really is it cannot all be ploughed into the team as there are other areas critical to the future well being of the club.

I think the club are doing a good job right now and surprisingly have not called me for my thoughts on the matter. :confused:

[Wakeyhibee]

I was in the South for a game v Aberdeen with my son during Mowbrays tenure, the gate was around 14000, Aberdeen had sold out there half Hibs only had the lower South. I remember it well as there was a few Aberdeen incognito behind me who were a decent bunch. The same can't be said for the Ned who wanted to jump me from behind at Waverley steps until his mate spotted my 10 year old son and stopped him

Its a fans forum for discussion so why not ? If we had ignored the possibility of doing the east when we were not filling the ground at the time we wouldn't be having 18k plus crowds now. Onwards and upwards. Third tier is fanciful before the corners though.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Easter Road is the perfect size. We don't need to expand and it should be the last thing on our to do list. Once the novalty of promotion wears off and we aren't winning every week or two we'll be back to round about 13-14k Hibs fans in ER. It's big enough to accommodate us all when we're on the crest of a wave as we are now.

Well said and in keeping with my posting up above. The club has a balancing act when deciding how to 'invest' the money.

It can't always be about how many fans we have had over the past 5 years or whatever time span one might choose to try and prove a point. It is how best the board uses to money to take Hibs forward and this includes upgrading the stadium at the appropriate time so in 30 years it is not an outdated hovel like the old stadiums. Easter Road is a great place to watch a game. Does not mean it can't be improved upon. And hopefully soon the corners at the FF North end can be done. When it looks like the right time to do it, which I agree is not next week just because we are getting at great crowd this Saturday.

Build it....they will come !!

This club has not got a clue. What a mess they have made the past few months.

No corners filled in, no helipad, no cocktail servers attending the patrons in their seats. Talk about living in the past.

Also if we're going to spend money on the stadium I'd rather it was cosmetic as parts of the ground are starting to look tatty. The astroturf around the pitch is a disgrace and some of the seats have become a strange shade of light green.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do the corners but aside from the fact the maths doesn't work (attendance figures here: http://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/club_records_league_attendance.php) I'm wondering if we wouldn't be better served creating an atmosphere where it's difficult to get a ticket before extending?

Tomorrow is at the moment an exception but it shows the momentum that happens when people feel they might not be able to get their hands on a ticket. I'd rather see us push to get closer to capacity at the current level more often - better atmosphere and more chance of consistently filling the place vs a few grand extra on the odd occassion we exceed the current capacity.

I think the target should be performing at a level where we get 10 of our 19 home games at near sell out (say 17,000+).
Tomorrow + 6 against the ugly sisters and the yams would mean we need 3 more.
That's doable if we're competive and Aberdeen are in town.

The Infrastructure years saw us neglect the team I would rather the current transfer window business became the norm That in itself gives us the chance to see what the Potential Support week in week out could be
If the support holds up and we have sell outs as the norm then fine fill in the corner that links the F F to the East and develop the piece of land there
But with a percentage of Season Ticket holders missing every game If all those seats are recycled back into system and we have half the South that is probably sufficient for just now unless we found ourselves challenging for the Title and realistically thats not happening this Season
But under Leeann s Leadership you begin to think anything may be possible

[birdspotter]

Not sure of exact numbers, but with Thistle having 1800 fans in that stand too that makes 2200 seats already taken in the south. Add on to that a substantial number of empty seats for segregation I would think around 1000 tickets remaining for walk ups tomm depending what's shifted online beforehand.

Also if we're going to spend money on the stadium I'd rather it was cosmetic as parts of the ground are starting to look tatty. The astroturf around the pitch is a disgrace and some of the seats have become a strange shade of light green.

Agree. Row numbers missing in quite a few bits of the west upper which seems like such a cheap and easy fix but for some reason hasn't been done. And could definitely do with starting to replace seats.

About 3 seasons ago, me and 2 young lad put seat nunbers on the east and the west, as part of the fans helping out around the stadium, obviously as you say needs done again

Might just buy some in wickes and stick them in tomorrow

The ones in the west lower were redone along with step paining in the close season.

Have you been to any of the pre season or cup games this season?

We had the same problem in the West Lower section 7, but noticed at the cup game our steps had all been painted white again with fresh row letters painted on too. :thumbsup:

and we could have teams struggling to bring 200 at some point, there will be bad weather, we're sure to have some off days. This game is amazing in terms of support and not being negative just realistic. And if all goes well on the park it has the making of the best season since the 50's in terms of attendances

I did it through Settings then advanced settings then some other sub menu which you'll be able to get info on. Anyway it worked and it's fine with Chrome now.

Would be interesting to see our average attendance per season graphed over the last 50 years....

Anyway I think we are all getting ahead of ourselves, a lot of hard work and good performances required to keep this sort of interest up! Still damn good to see the stadium effectively sold out for the first game of the season though [emoji106]

Back up from relegation but still a poor team on the park (fk me, a guy from my street was playing for my beloved team.!) Was all so poor after the Tornadoes just under a decade before, slowly getting poorer each year. The short burst of glamour of Best, the pain of nearly winning the SC with an unlikely team a couple of years before.

Bertie Auld was the manager (imagine Calderwoods style without the flair..) and we were absolutely skint. Need I go on.?

Never missed a game, but there was more general chit chat standing on the empty terraces than watching the game.

[monktonharp]

Come back to me when we are selling out the next 5 home games. Get a grip... fill in corners.....what a load of waffle.always the pessimist :rolleyes: get with the programme, Hibernian and their fans are on a roll. the juggernaught will take some stopping :greengrin

[monktonharp]

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.simple, they had to do this when our new East was built. we had the sections near the main stand, they had the other sections. Unfortunately, those buggers (auld hun) won the league that day.

[monktonharp]

Dare say there will still be a hell of a lot of empty seats tomorrow with season ticket holders on holiday etc.oh aye, thoosands will be on holiday:rolleyes:

TBF, there's hunners of seats left, so nothing to moan about in that regard.


Of course, if the Club hadn't been forward looking and re-built the East Stand, said Muppet could have had grounds for complaint.

He said due to fixture congestion the game was the third game in about 5 days, it was played midweek with an afternoon kick off in atrocious weather and it was towards end of season so nothing was at stake.

Hence everything conspired against it.

Hibs saying are saying;

Saturday’s game against Partick Thistle marks Hibernian’s return to the Ladbrokes Premiership after a three-year absence, with the game almost completely selling-out.

It is set to be a busy day all around the stadium with a bumper crowd anticipated and various new facilities being open for supporters of all ages to use ahead of the match.

Tickets

Tickets are priced at £22 for adults and £12 for concessions, and are currently available to buy online and at the Hibernian Ticket Office from 10am – with the option to print at home to avoid the queues on the day of the game.

Supporters are strongly encouraged to buy online if they are planning to attend as tickets may not be available from the Ticket Pods ahead of the match

The key point is if you want a ticket get down to ER early.

If we win today, I can see an even higher demand for future games.

They sold out their initial allocation of 1,000 and were given a further 400 tickets.

I think some people got carried away and thought they would sell them all.
