What happened? Granted, the second half was pish, but barely heard a peep out of them after the first 5 minutes.

Was very flat in there today, a bit like the performance. Think everyone was a bit shocked and annoyed at the performance to be honest.

Got the crowd going a few times fair play to them. Just wish they weren't so high up, much prefered when they were in the East. Although having said that the East got a few chants of their own going today.


In fainress though, wasn't a great deal to get excited about today.

:agree: Games against rangers, hearts, Aberdeen and Celtic will take care of themselves. Games against the rest like today could be a struggle.

Didn't really hear much from the other sections in the stadium to be fair. Yes, there should have been more noise from the singing section, but there should have been more noise from the rest of the support.

They've been placed in a crap section to be honest they shoulduve been placed behind the goals. Would love to see a standing section similar to celtics behind there it would look cracking and would be very affective.

Can't believe they were moved into the famous five. Terrible place to be honest with you. You could see them waving the flags and hear them on the odd occasion but it just doesn't have the same impact as it did in the west regardless of the position I think. Nothing against the lads in it cause I know for a fact they try their best regardless of result or performance but its not been ideal so far.

All things considered - I thought the atmosphere was much improved today compared to previous games against Hamilton. From the back of the East I can only ever see a small corner of the Singing Section and it looked to me like they were making an effort but as been said previously the acoustics mean that most of the East will hardly hear the noise they generate.

It's been a huge mistake to move them from the east. Now the east is like a library other than the odd outbreak of an attempt at a song.

It was chicken or egg scenario yesterday with the singing section. Are they meant to create noise to get behind the team or will they only sing when the team are playing well.

Yesterday, it was like they didn't know any hibs songs. Both home games they have sung 'We've played in South morocco.........' save that for games against the Jambos, that was then followed yesterday by 'If I had the wings of a sparrow........' what an embarrassing song, that was about the only 2 songs heard in the 2nd half yesterday.

At 1 point yesterday the east broke into a song and the singing section were singing something completely different.

Don't think I heard the Simon Murray song once yesterday, he's our top scorer having an off day, try giving him some encouragement and backing the team through the tough times not just when we're winning.

Not really, I join in when I want.

But why claim to be a designated 'SINGING SECTION' but then just stay silent for a whole 2nd half especially when the team needed the backing from the fans the most.

Just an idea, how about the many expert singing judges in here join in with the singing at games and contribute that way? Dare say that'll probably have a more positive end result than weekly negative posts on here. I'm sure there's only so much the singing section group can do without anyone else willing to join in.

Football fans (the world over) tend to not feel very much like having a sing-song when their team is being outplayed and losing.

It was compounded yesterday by almost a sense of disbelief (for some) and disappointment at what the home fans were witnessing.

I was sitting in the FF not far from them and they did their best. Position seems wrong and also there are at most 100-150 in the section but I would say they do a great job and particularly after we went 1-0 down immediately tried to lift the tempo.= More widely that was a dreadful performance but I thought the support was reasonably forgiving. Not too many boos and pretty supportive. I think our support are really getting their act together- a few seasons ago a performance like that would have been met with enormous hostility.

Think its rubbish if i'm being honest. They need to be moved back to the east next season. They should get their own section bang in the middle of the east, that way everyone in stadium has a good view of it and players coming out the tunnel will be able to see any flags, banners etc. IMO

Well they're not getting my seat bang in the centre of the East where I've sat since it opened. I agree with you however, the move to the FF top corner was always going to be a failure and has proved so. From my seat they would be as well being in the car park for all I can hear and it has definitely had a negative affected on the atmosphere in the East.

It's one thing moving a few people out of one of the smallest and worst sections in the stadium to moving hundred of ST holders in one of the best places in the stadium. The club would realise tha backlash from this, it's hypocritical anyway and IMHO they wouldn't even try. If they did then we would all just keep our seats and join the singing section, 😂 🎶

I agree 100%. The singing section want to choose where they sit, they want to have a standing area created for them but apart from the opening game of the season they have been posted missing. They haven't been at any of the cup games and yesterday it looked like they couldn't be bothered. Perhaps the location isn't the best but perhaps if they were to make a success of it then they could ask about moving elsewhere. So far it hasn't been great....noise at the opening game of the season (which possibly would have happened anyway under the circumstances), no attendance pre season or cup games, and silence yesterday.

...or from the FF Lower.


How about they go in Section 27 in the South? They'd then be competing with the Away Fans and would be visible from most parts of the ground. When Celtc, Hearts & The Rangers come to visit, the atmosphere will take care of itself, so bung them back up the FF again for those games.

If the club were going to annoy hundreds of season ticket holders they would stick the singing section in the FF lower behind the goals. It's been said numerous times and it's generally accepted it's the most natural place for it to be. I don't think that will happen but it's more likely than the middle of the east.

Can't see it ever happening there though as that's where the cheap kids tickets are. The club are never going to allow cheap kids seats in other areas of the ground thus not being able to sell the same seat to a full paying adult.

But that doesn't mean the club will actually do that.


The whole thing is a bit of a farce now, as there was nothing wrong with the Singing Section originally designated by the Club after the new East Stand was built. The atmosphere was amazing in the first few months after it opened and only degenerated because of how bad the team was doing.

I agree, the East has been really noisy and jumping for a while now and moving the drummer and singing section out has really killed this to an extent. I honestly can't see it working way up there but they've all probably lost their old ST seats now from where they were in the East. It's a real pity given the atmosphere they created at even the poorest of games. There's no way they'll ever shift ST holders in the middle of the East though, so it has created a problem, I'm not sure the club had a choice on this or not?

Rather than have a go at a small group of fans why aren't we asking why the club only consulted the Since1875 lads in relation to the location of the Singing Section.

The gantry area at Easter Road (Sec43) is where the singers have co-located since the 1980s and all that happened when the new East stand was built was that the usual singers stood in the same area as before i.e. beside the away support.

My family group have been in the same area (s42-44) along with 1000 others since 2010 and we were not consulted about relocation. Sure the group of lads down the front of S43 were keen to relocate to the North but I'm pretty sure that they made it clear to management that they weren't speaking on behalf of the whole East Stand Singing Section.

It's still early days for the guys in the FF so let's give their venture maximum encouragement until then.

I sit in FF upper. Where were they for the league cup games? The Sunderland game? Are you seriously saying they weren't posted missing yesterday?

It's only my opinion but these guys have made a rod for their own backs. Pre season they had a lot of posts on here talking up the singing section. After the Partick game there was even talk of them wanting to take over the whole of the FF upper. They want a lot of publicity for when they do make a noise but surely must take the opposite when they are as flat as they were yesterday.

Exactly, but not sure if you can upgrade or not?

Buy a season ticket at £25, then upgrade on a match to match basis of around £10 a game, (more for Cat A) games

19 games x£10 = season ticket for just over £220

Cheapest home ticket would be at least £12 for the upgrade. More for Cat A games. Probably work out the same amount.

That's a bit like expecting the mountain to move to Mohammed though.

The East for long enough has been the traditional home for those that sing at matches. To therefore move the small band of dedicated fans that could and did prompt those of similar ilk to join in to not only a different stand but to the one corner that pretty much ensures the East can't hear them was a poor idea that so far has had a poor outcome.

You may be right and it will take time to produce the goods but I'm far from convinced.

Ask them yourselves, we tried to create some sort of an atmosphere yesterday but nobody else joins in plus we conceded a few goals so naturally it's going to be quieter. I prefer the singing section being behind the goals.

It's clearly not the best place for them however you can't expect hibs to move people out the seats they have been in for years. Although there was a small number in Section 25 it has been the most unpopular section for years and was the last to sell out in a couple of the big games last year.

People need to remember that the atmosphere at most run of the mill home games has been rubbish for years, even worse when we're getting beat 3-0.

Well said HappyAshellas.

It looks and sounds great up there. All Ultras are behind the goals and it works abroad. This will grow through time. Well done to the singing section and great effort. The view is good up there when I have sat there too. Keep up the good work and ignore the doubters. OGC Nice have Ultras at both ends! They sing separately and it's fine! This will grow into 2 or 3 sections eventually which will help acoustics 😎👍

Wow we have some moaners on here.

This new section is new and I think it's only fair to give them several games to see how it develops.

The Partick game was much different to Hamilton and as always performances are important to atmosphere.

I understand what people are saying about sing all the time and not just when winning but again easier said than done and not many clubs do.

I would be prepared for a thread about this section after every home - some won't accept change but many will give it a chance. Good luck to everyone in it - it's easy to moan on here or go to ER and try join in and make a difference.

I saw the singing section in action throughout Saturday's game. Wasn't lack of effort it's just the sound is blocked from travelling into the East.

The answer is surely for the East to start make regular noise too - which only happened occasionally on Saturday but was good when it did. Still plenty standing up in Section 43 so I'm sure this will happen eventually. The bigger games will show if the move was a success or not.

This seems to be a problem which I know I didn't envisage. I have a seat in the new section and I've been surprised at the criticsm as it feels like we're making quite a racket. Seems like very few in the East are even hearing the chants to join in with which is disappointing. Nothing stopping those still based in S43 getting some atmosphere going as well though.

Agree with this, I'm in section 38 and all Ive heard is very low level drum noise for the last few weeks. I was astounded after the Patrick game when there was a thread saying how good the singing section was as my wife and I heard nothing. Really disappointing as we were looking forward to them really raising the atmosphere this season. :flag:

Still, its early days and I really hope the guys can keep it going. It would be interesting to know what it sounds like to the players; if they think it's better then that would be the main thing in trying to spur them on.

I would give it a little time. If the north end of the East picks up on the singing section then the noise should increase quite nicely. I can appreciate at the moment that the south end of the East is struggling to hear the singing section, to be honest when all the sound started from section 43 those in the FF struggled to hear them.

SRHibs
17-09-2017, 01:26 PM
Experiment failed IMO. No disrespect to the members of the section as you can see that they're trying, but no noise comes from where they're located. Motherwell's singers were of a similar number but were MUCH louder. I'm virtually on the halfway line too.

Yeah I agree, heard nothing from my seat in sect 43 unfortunately. Every time I looked over at the FF I could see that they were drumming and singing but couldn't hear anything other than the Motherwell boys.

I sit at the other end of the FF and all you can really hear is the bang of the drum, singing doesn't carry at all. Obviously sound doesn't usually travel well sideways but still.

Not intended as a criticism of the folk in the section, they tried something different to try to solve a problem. Not sure it's really worked out though.

Alot of it is relative to where you sit. I was in the upper FF yesterday and although could see Motherwell had block singing non stop couldnt really actually hear them. The home atmosphere only really gets going when we get more than one stand going and thats not really happening. Feel sorry for the lads in the singing section its not really working we seem to have a half way house in the FF and a half way house in the East. Still on the positive side its great to be getting the gates we are and the atmosphere will improve Im sure especially with games to come with the likes of Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and Aberdeen.

I have my season ticket in Singing section and yesterday I thought it was really good atmosphere up there and sang right through the game. It's very unfortunate as the boys at the front of the section are obviously trying very hard to generate an atmosphere and it's not through a lack of trying. The bottom of the south would be a good place to have it IMO

Bottom line is, moving the singing section to the FF stand (like moving Witty to LB) just has not worked. Get them back to the East and start again (or clear everyone out of the FF and put in a much bigger singing section.

The few times the FF and East were singing the same song, timing was out which made it sound crap.

Forever_Green93

As I mentioned in another thread, the problem with singing section atm is that it's only the front 5 or 6 rows that are singing and the people who are in the middle and the back of the section aren't joining in. If those people joined in then the section would be much louder.

Johnny Clash
17-09-2017, 03:18 PM
I don't think before the move that anyone even thought the acoustics would be so troublesome. Even when the singing section is in full flow the noise seems to disappear before it even reaches the East. Maybe our singing section is easier to hear by the away fans in the South ?

I wonder what the players think? After all, the atmosphere is mainly to help spur the team on. I'm guessing they heard more coming from section 43 than they do now, purely down to the acoustics and the way sound travels?

Well done to the lads and lassies in the singing section for the banner, I was a bit gutted going to the game really disappointed with the board for putting out the statement when they should have stayed silent IMO.

I thought things had changed with fans reps and the arrival of LD but it seems like its the same old board who don't communicate with the fans given a make over to give them the appearance of being in touch

I was in the South, and while you could see there was chanting going on, it was inaudible, especially next to Motherwell's fans who made a good noise.
The atmosphere was still good though throughout the stadium, but unfortunately the idea that the new singing section was going to be a wall of noise every home game doesn't look like being the case.

Haven't read all the thread so apologies if repeating but don't think having a singing section at any END is the best place - if the South can't hear it from the North and the North couldn't hear it from the South the players won't always hear it either (if they notice at all). Best place would be near the pitch in East or West imho. Think lads are doing a great job though shame so far it's not working as expected.

Was it the fans who asked to be moved? If so why would you want to move as far up and out the road? If it wasn't the fans why did Hibs think it was a good idea? As I said before many teams all over the uk punt away fans high up in the away stands if they can to drown out the noise. Either go back to where it was or come down to the FF lower as proved on sat by Well fans it worked well.

As far as I am aware. That was the least popular section with other ST's. ST's holders in the F5 lower didn't want to give up their seat and move.

It's a terrible up there tbh. The guys are trying but theyr'e too far.
I think moving them in the South Lower would be far better, then move into the east when we have CAT A games.

Bit of a straw man there. We need another drum for the East too in that case. 2 games into the season or not, the acoustics of the stadium aren't going to magically change in the next few weeks. No-one's saying they're not trying, just that the sound isn't carrying from where they're located.

It was always a strange one for me. East has always been known (in my time supporting Hibs) as the load-bearer when it comes to creating the atmosphere. What was the reasoning behind moving to the FF?

Just the angles of the walls in the stand maybe? Motherwell's singers were probably a lot more audible in the East compared to the West, and vice versa for our singing section. Just speculating though.

I would hazard a guess the Since 1875 lads will be in section 25 for the foreseeable. Perhaps those who think they can contribute to atmosphere can swap their ticket to sect 25 for the Aberdeen home game to boost numbers/noise?

I don't think we'd have a thread like this if the section was filled with 200/250 noisy supporters (which was obviously what the intention was in moving up there)

Unfortunately it's only the same 40/50 lads joining in each week, which was the same situation when they were located down the front of the east the past couple seasons

The accoustics in the area they occupied originally, high up in the east, seemed much better imo. Hope someone can come up with a solution because the guys are doing their best, I'd hate to see them lose interest.

The acoustics are really bad there. No lack of effort by the singing section who usually do us proud.

In an ideal world - the answer could be a standing/singing section filling in the gap between the FF and the East. A corner section should be visible by all parts of the ground and I would imagine the sound would travel ok??

Sounds really simple when you don't think about it too deeply.

1) Where would you put the Family Section?

2) What will you do with the people that already have season ticketsin those areas and have to be moved to accomodate them?

3) As the Family section currently enjoys lower prices, will you keep those the same, but charge people in equivelant pitch side sets more then them, for the same view?

4) Do you really want to P' off circa 3,000 people (current Family Section ST holders andpeople moved to accomodate them) by forcibly moving them from seats they might just enjoy sitting in.

5) Finally, and most importantly, is there any evidence that we have 1,500 - 2,000 people willing to move in to the FF Lower to create a mega singing section?

I only said it wasn't impossible and it certainly isn't beyond the wit of man to do it gradually.

I would move the family pricing section to the West lower or the East. A lot of people will follow the money (our group included). I'm sure there will be people who are unhappy but if there were incentives on offer I'm sure an agreement could be reached.

I'm only assuming that this is still the groups aim. 🤔

Cowshed to Old East Gantry
The singers at Easter Road used to be based in the old' Cowshed', now the Famous Five
That was when the side of the pitch was just terracing. Sound is always better projected up into a roof and out.
When the Old East Stand was built, the singers relocated temporarily into the TV gantry space, near the away fans, under the low roof. Although there were small seats it was possible to stand.
A combination of side on view of the pitch, acoustics and proximity to joust with the opposition meant that are is where the singers remained


New East Stand
Prior to the opening of the new East, a few of us started a campaign to have that same area delegated as a Singing Section
In dialogue with the club we agreed on the top 20 rows in Section 43
That was where we were allowed to stand and sing (after some feeble initial attempts by stewards to get us to sit :na na:)
In big games the amount of people standing extended across sections 42 (top) and 44. Singing is louder standing up!
In the days of Hibs12thMan and Sect43 we had the loudest, most sustained singing support in Scotland
This era coincided with some very dire football which impacted upon the enthusiasm to sing all game


Sect43 relocation, Since 1875
The group of 20-30 'ultras' (not sure that's how they defined themselves - apologies gents) who went home and away, made flags, carried the drum suddenly moved down the front.
This was in consultation with club management, but I'm not sure if the rest of the singing section was consulted, so it caught many of us by surprise
That move had an immediate and retrograde effect on the atmosphere by splitting the singing across two areas - bottom and top
This group continued to have dialogue with the club with a view to relocating to behind the goals
This dialogue led to the formation of a new section in the Famous Five


Singers remaining in Section43
Those of us who remain loyal to the East probably won't move to the FF. We prefer the side on, high up view of the pitch, front on view of the tunnel and the chance to barney with the opposition singers.
We are still standing for 90 minutes and that won't be changing any time soon. In big games there could be up to 1000 standing.
Some new song starters are emerging out of the pack. I've heard talk of a drum although I think it would be a poor call whilst the new FF section is still finding it's feet.

I think it will be interesting to see how things evolve in both areas of the stadium. But there's little doubt that the overall backing for the team has suffered due to the changes over recent years. Five years ago we were drowning out every team. Now from the perspective of all areas of the ground apart from the North end of Easter Road, we are being out-sung by 700 Motherwell fans which is downright embarrassing.

RIP, you say we are drowned out by 700 Motherwell fans but from where I sit in the FF, I hardly heard the Motherwell fans once but could hear our fans throughout. Just fyi.

I sit in the middle of the east, all you could hear was the drum. Motherwell on the other hand were very loud!!

Yeah I’m at the back of the east on the half way line and the Motherwell fans sounded louder.

I think until the day the singing section is in the middle of the front tier of the FF, we will continue to have these threads.

The big games will take care of themselves, but for a proper singing section to work every week and grow, in my opinion, that is where it needs to be.

99% of the best days at away grounds have been behind one goal or another, and most clubs more vociferous supporters are normally behind one of the ends of their stadium.


Cue arguments on I have sat here for years and I won't move for anyone. That's fine just expect more of the same, and more threads like this one.

Im with wearehibs. I dont know if its acoustics, wind direction or what but I too sat in the FF for the Motherwell game and although I could see 'Well fans were animated and therefore probably singing, We couldnt actually hear anyting from them.

Does anyone know where our SPL rivals have their singing sections?

Celtic - corner

Rangers - behind goals

St j - half way up stand on side of pitch

Motherwell - in the corner of the side stand right next to the away fans

Hearts - the whole stadium according to them
