Hamilton next week/dot count

[Mikers110]

After today the boys deserve at least a 19000 crowd for next week. Let the dot count commence :thumbsup:

[hfc rd]

They deserve a full house. We have a wonderful team at our disposal!

[Speedway]

We should defo be looking to take at least a point against the Accoes next week with the run we're on.

[SanFranHibs]

We should defo be looking to take at least a point against the Accoes next week with the run we're on.

Nothing less than 3 points with a bonus point just for being Hibs !

[allezsauzee]

Hopefully we keep the momentum going next week although i don't think Hamilton will be any pushovers. I don't think I've ever been as confident about a Hibs team though. Strong throughout the team and with a bit of grit too. Surely has to be a sell out in the Hibs end?

[GreenCastle]

Needs to be sold out - this team is getting better and after that win today continue to deserve our support!

[Pretty Boy]

This is the kind of game you used to worry about us slipping up in after a big win. Not anymore, I'm confident we'll do the job professionally.

[guthrie01]

Hamilton next week and Dundee the week after, would be very good if we could pick up 6 points and really stamp our place at the top of the table

I'd be very surprised if the hibs end are not sold out on Saturday. A chance to go top of the league!!

I still worry. I'll always worry. Takes more than a few games to counter the hard experience of more than 50 years.

But we do seem to have signed one or two half-decent players ....

[SirDavidsNapper]

There's going to be a big, big Hibs support

[hibee_girl]

:agree:

[RoYO!]

I'm really confident that we'll score goals. 2+ in any game.

I'm also confident about our defence.

Added to all that, NL will get the best out the team 9 out 10 times.

So yes, confident whilst obviously respecting the opposition as every team will have quality in it.

[Garymcl]

In all honesty I've never been so proud to be a hibby (21/05/16 apart ) since the days of Turnbulls Tornadoes I'm like a little kid can't wait till next game to come along let's get Easter Road sold out for next weeks game this team certainly deserve it cmon !!!!ggtth :flag::flag:

[Golden Bear]

Get the dot count started and make it sharpish. 😁

[jacomo]

Neither will be a gimme but got to feel very confident after our start to the season.

I feel like teams are going to tighten up against us though. Our free scoring form has not gone unnoticed.

[Billy Whizz]

The team deserve a huge turnout.
If you can make it, get along and support the boys!

[Radium]

Missed Partick but ST was resold by club. Will be back next Saturday. I do want the club to bury the memory of their last visit.

Agree. Since when have we had a team and a supporter mentality to support a genuine winning ethos? My answer is NOW. Let's push on. Again, and again, and again.

[RossScott1991]

We need to treat every opponent with respect, unless its hearts or rangers:greengrin

Onto Hamilton, big crowd and hopefully 3 points. Got to earn victories in any sport though, so lets keep it going hibs no complacency.:aok:

[kevinc]

Be great to get 17k plus, I suspect that we have budgeted for circa 14000 so may allow us another signing before the transfer window closes.

[lord bunberry]

For almost the first time in my hibs supporting life a season ticket has become almost essential.
Its a great time to be a hibs fan.

[heretoday]

I'm looking forward to getting revenge over Hamilton for that ghastly play-off debacle. Sorry for bringing it up.

[ChicagoHibee]

538 gives Hibs a 45% chance to get all 3 points.

9-0 .

Must confess, I am not completely sold yet. I might be when we start winning a greater percentage of aerial balls in our own box !! Not just the goals conceded but if you look at the game we lost quite a few that caused us problems. Indeed we never even challenged a few of them. Missing the Fonts today.

But this team are only going to get better I feel. And winning can breed a winning mentality, especially with NL at the helm.

This team should fear no-one this season, home or away.

True but a win in Glasgow will catch the imagination. I reckon near 18,000

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Anything over 17,000 would be great as Hamilton will bring their usual 78 & a dug.

It's a shame they can't get more fans. Scottish football would be better for stronger teams throughout. They've brought a few players through so have been good overall. Time for revenge for us though ;)

I hope Lennon has got the defence working on challenging crossed balls as we were sleeping at both their goals.

[theonlywayisup]

Against Partick, it was the Friday before the game that the East, West and FF were shown as being 'sold out'.

Following yesterday's great result, I think it could be one or two days earlier. An indicator of our success this season will be how quickly our three stands are 'sold' out.

Next step would be to ensure it's a 'bums on seats' sell out. Against Partick, there were lots of empty spaces.

[InchHibby]

This game will sell out and I think we will be buying tickets for the away end, this team deserve it, I know it's early doors but I haven't felt this positive in years. It's great to be a Hibee. GGTTH

[Pretty Boy]

Is it not a Hibs kids game as well?

Solid start so far - hopefully a big surge after a fantastic result yesterday.

I'm sure Callum will be here soon to give the official number of seats left..

Don't get to many games now, up for Motherwell game with the lad. Supported for 50 years, so proud to be a Hibee.

Mind you it's not far off the Turnbull's Tornadoes feel, when we would go the game expecting to win....whomever we played.

Is that not just showing the 11000 season tickets that will be the starting point for all games?

12k plus seasons sold me thinks .

[NAE NOOKIE]

Of all the fixtures in the premiership anybody v Hamilton is usually the least attractive, not because Hamilton as a club aren't to be respected, but simply because their own town ( apart from 1000 folk I have huge respect for ) doesn't back them .... they gave a good account of themselves at Pittodrie and had a great result yesterday ... and yet on the back of that they will be lucky to have 200 with them on Saturday.

If we are to top 17,000 as we did against Partick we will need to see more than 16,000 Hibs fans in the ground and we will have to create our own atmosphere with so little away support to bounce off of.

But we are a team worth paying to see at the moment and after a great result yesterday I have high hopes that we will see a huge Hibs turnout, especially as this will be our last home game in August :aok: Also, with the exception of Celtic who have a skoosh away to Killie the top 4 are all at home in winnable fixtures .... a win is essential to keep our momentum going.

[houstonhibbee]

This. I said before the season started that to be a good side in this league, we have to consistently beat the teams lower down in the division. I've got faith that lennon will have us drilled to be competitive in the bigger games, but we can't let it slip in the other games

Wouldn't be able to give precise numbers but had a wee peak a few hours back and selling very well, aside from the two end sections of the east, the yellow sections left only seem to be single seats! Reckon we'll get a very healthy crowd on Saturday

[SirDavidsNapper]

Pumping Hamilton on Saturday will bury a few ghosts

[Smartie]

I think we should hype the game up beyond belief and turn up in our thousands hell bent on revenge for what happened the last time the clubs met.

We must be careful though that our players don't lose the place, that we don't go on to lose the game and then feel the need to send the Hamilton manager death threats for making a few gestures.

Although if that were to happen we could always content ourselves by releasing a few statements and starting some petitions.

To be honest one of the biggest let downs of being a Hibs supporter over the last 50 years is the lack of petitions or open letters.

It's that lack of substance and self importance that holds us back.

[Laced1875]

Fully expect a win, Hamilton will be the old complacency test.

[Garymcl]

After Saturday not just the result lets get this game sold out for the team of course but as a message to Lenny that we are 100 per cent behind him and to give him a brilliant reception he has stood up for this club on many occasions I for one will be chanting his name loud and clear :flag::flag:

[GreenCastle]

Starting to pick up and see more RED sections.

Most of the yellows are single seats.

Just ends of East and West to fill and will look another good crowd. Hopefully sell them all before Thursday and open South up like last time for others.

Again Hibs should be around the centre of town trying to get tourists to the game - even free tickets and fill the place up (money from food etc / merchandise etc).

Will club 1872 or whatever their self important organisation is, make another statement?

This for me is one of those games where, historically, after a great result, we've underperformed. Happily, I'm sure this team won't this time, especially with NL at the helm and the depth of quality we have.

I think the home attendance will be close to it if not higher. A lot of season ticket holders seemed to miss the Partick game as there were a lot of spaces throughout the home ends. Would imagine most families are back from holiday now with schools going back.

Even if not one more ticket was sold for this game it would still be a great turnout.

Given the number of empty seats against Partick, when the 3 stands were sold out and the fact that the holiday season is largely over the crowd may well appear bigger on Saturday even if no more seats are sold.

My mate and his laddie I sit with are on holiday so I have their STs


. Was going to take my wee boy to his 1st game, and the mrs as well. So still be 2 adults and a child, just wrong names.

In light of recent ticket fiascos, do we have a policy on this?
Has anyone had any problem with this in the past? Just hope I avoid a jobsworth steward? Appreciate any info (think I've just missed the ticket office for today)

In years gone by wouldn't have given it a 2nd thought but not much surprises me these days. And just really excited for his 1st game, no wanting sum wee nyaff in a yellow jacket messing with his 1st experience of the Leith San Siro!

Hun has zero religious connotations despite what Rangers fans will tell you.

I have never in my life heard of anyone, of any religion or persuasion that isn't a rangers fan being called a Hun. Its sole purpose is to identify someone as a rangers fan.

It's like claiming that terms like Yams, Sheep, unwashed etc that we use to refer to other supporters are sectarian.

Hun.
The chant "go home ya huns" was sung by Liverpool fans in the 60s. during European games against German sides.
Possibly also at the European Cup Winners Cup Final at Hampden against B/Dortmund in 1966.

For younger viewers,Hun, as a term of abuse, was the name giving to the Germans during the war.

Basil Fawlty just about got away with it though !!
..or so he thought !


In Scotland it was picked up by Celtic fans who then used it (Hun) as a pet name for rAngers and their "fans"
And so do we !
The word has no religious significance at all.
The original Huns?
Well google it, Some tribe were the Hun !!

So its not sectarian.
It could be termed as racist,most certainly derogatory,if say, sung at Hampden in a game against Germany.

On the word "hun"

Someone at JP press appears to be offended by it.
The comments section in both the Scotsman and EEN wont let you use the word.

Sadly, in Lanarkshire towns like Hamilton ,its glory hunters.
Celtic or rAngers
I have family in Lanark and Carluke .All Celtic.
A few years ago i was at Hamilton's ground to watch one of my grandsons play in Mixu's Cowdenbeath youth team
I got to Hamilton early(Sunday noon) so decided to look for a pub near hand.
A guy in a Celtic top was walking towards me. I said hi and asked him where the nearest pub was.
"Celtic or rAngers?" he asked
"What, is there nae Accies pubs" i replied with a smile.
He just laughed!
So i finished up in a "Celtic" pub.

As I've stated on here many times, I have the greatest of respect for supporters of Clubs in the Glasgow area that choose their local team over the Ugly Sisters.

Hamilton is a reasonably large town and could have a decent supporter base, were it not for the fact that 90% of the locals support either Celtc or The Rangers.

46,000 for the entire season and you could probably safely say that half of them were away supporters when you consider that there were visits from the two cheeks of the same erse, the Jambos and Aberdeen.

The South Standing Enclosure was below the seated South Upper. I have many happy memories of being taken to the North Stand upper seated area which was made up of long benches by my dad for a good number of years.

:flag:

I remember the now west stand being 3 stands called South away fans the centre stand and as others have said the foot stomping north stand.
With the enclosure below.

I watched the Tornadoes from the North enclosure. Happy days.

We are looking for tickets but gonna hold off for better seats to come up. Probably when the South opens. That's if there is room in the south beside the 14 Accies fans.

The now West Stand used to be split into 5 Sections.

Correction: The middle bit was known as the Centre Stand. I went in it with my son once for a match against Hearts. It was a pain because we were held in for 15 minutes to allow the Hearts Supporters to get away. Those in the North Stand and North Enclosure were allowed to leave without delay.

I later had five season tickets in the North Enclosure for the whole family. It could be a problem being right behind the visiting dugout if the inhabitants insisted on standing. The only way to see was to stand which led to us being asked to sit down by officious stewards.

We used to reply 'get them to sit down and so will we'. They rarely did! The worst offender was Alex McLeish when managing Motherwell. He was especially grumpy when Kevin Harper, who was 10 yards onside, skinned the Well defence and set up a clincher for Hibs. McLeish moaned long and loud about offside but the goal rightly stood. I don't think he ever forgave Harper for that goal and never really played him when he was Hibs manager.

This has became about what out stands are called. Come on where's the dot count lads

If you look at post 205 you'll see I correctly said the Centre Stand. I mistakenly said West in the one you refer to. Well spotted though.

Your lack of punctuation has left me rather discombobulated.

Is your last sentence a question?

If so, are you enquiring as to the whereabouts of the lads who have been responsible for providing us with dot counts, or are you asking the lads for the whereabouts of the current dot count?

Or maybe something altogether different?

Do tell old boy.

I'm partly responsible. I have a clutch of ST's there but rarely attend games. I refuse to release the seats to the club as i dislike the thought of plebs sitting in facilities I use and have paid for. Maybe rather 'old school' Thatcherite in those trendy 'sharing economy' days, but im too long in the tooth to change now!

Yes. I prefer the West. I also have a number of seats there and tend to mix it up.

I love getting the cheap £25 kids tickets so that I can guarantee myself an extra 4 cup final tickets, and upgrade the big games for minimal amounts.

The entrance to the old main stand north end was like the scene explaining the british class system with pete and dudley and ronnie barker. You had 3 gates from left reading enclosure, wing stand, center stand. You knew yer place back then :greengrin

I'm particularly fond of slamming on my bunnet and muffler on match-days, and shuffling off to ER with my old man's walking-stick. I love the fact that I can scam my way in with my dodgy OAP ST, whilst all the losers round about me have paid full price.

Similar for me. Do you know if you email the club they will instruct the stewards to actively monitor the seats and evict any 'squatters'? I'm told they police the seats rigorously.

I like your style.

Personally, I put on a pair of round, John Lennon type specs, and a long, multi coloured scarf, adopt a disinterested yet superior look, and trick my way past the incompetent stewards using my student ST.

I nearly got caught once when I forgot to look tired and washed out, but my quick thinking retrieved the situation when I loudly exclaimed, "Wow, man, triple espressos and red bull. What a buzz!"

It's people like you that are bringing this once proud nation to its knees!

Thank god for Brexit, so we can bring back the good old days where everybody was decent and honest, milk bottles had little silver foil tops on and Cucumbers were allowed to be curvy.
