Attendance for a cup quarter final

[houstonhibbee]

Should be at least 10k for this one but suspect it may be less

[Sir David Gray]

8000 or thereabouts.

[Keith_M]

Current sales look awful, with only 6 sections on the online map having turned orange so far.


I wouldn't be surprised if there was only about 6k at the game.

[lucky]

I'm not going due to work commitments but the price is probably putting a few off. I suspect it will be around the 8k mark

[Pretty Boy]

Sales were really slow fr the last round and I think we ended up with just over 8K there. This will be similar.

I'm going but will just pick up a ticket tomorrow, I'm sure plenty others will do the same.

[AgentDaleCooper]

when was the last time we had a 10k+ crowd against second tier opposition in any quarter-final?

[Keith_M]

The last time we actually played lower league opposition at the Quarter Final stage of any tournament was in 2014-15, when we played Berwick Rangers.

The attendance that day was 11,259.




EDIT: As so kindly pointed out by Firestarter, it was actually last season.

[Green Man]

I can't make it due to a prior commitment booked months ago, I was gutted when they announced the match date.

[Pete]

Win this and it's another day out at Hampden. Not sure that's really sunk in yet for a lot but it usually does on the day.

I'm sure they will all turn out for the semi should we get there....

[Firestarter]

Quite rightly too. :agree:

[Lancs Harp]

My guessometer says we'll get just over 10,500.

On a personal level I cant make any midweek game this side of the New year.

[hibeg]

A good number have taken up the pie and pint offer which won't be included in the sales. Bottom section was sold out when we booked and the top was going well. No idea how many the hospitality holds though, maybe 4/500 ?

[SRHibs]

Surprised the prices for kids weren't lowered. Pretty expensive for a game vs Livi. Guess it's hard to justify lowering prices for a QF. I'm going to this but will be on bread and water for the rest of the month.

[AgentDaleCooper]

i...erm...stand corrected... :duck:

[CB_NO3]

Ill just pay at the gate tomorrow.

I think you will get very long odds on that treble, but you never know. It's a funny old game.

Tynecastle is out of action so I'm not sure where else we'd play other than Hampden.

No, the only game that isn't!

Murrayfield.

[NAE NOOKIE]

5 of us going and it will be tickets from the pods .... with the loss of the loyalty points system there isn't really any need to order on line or go to the ticket office, especially when its not a game where tickets are at a premium.

I think the weather will be ok and considering its our last home game this month I'm guessing a crowd of about 10,000 which is acceptable for a game with Livingston, even if it is a quarter final .... if it had been Aberdeen or Dundee for example I would have gone for about 12 to 13 thousand.

It would be nice to hope Partick can knock out Sevco and Motherwell could knock out Aberdeen ... I cant see Dundee pulling of a miracle against Celtic, but that would give us a reasonable shot at a winnable tie in the semis if we get past Livvi, not that I'm suggesting for a second we couldn't beat Sevco.

I would also prefer a semi final at Tynecastle rather than Hampden which could be possible if we were to draw Motherwell or Thistle, provided the place is ready of course, which seems unlikely.

Since it's only league cup would it not be at a stadium like tynie? Or does it depend who we play?

[percy veer]

are the semis not in October, So tynie wont be ready... shame it would have been a real money spinner for them

[hfc rd]

Doesn't seem like there is any interest at all in this game considering it's a quarter final. 9K the very most.

[Albanian Hibs]

Was able to get 2 tickets for front row of upper ff. Sales look poor.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Perhaps if we hadn't won it for 63 years folk would be more enthusiastic :greengrin

Tell you what though .... I never thought I would see the day when someone would predict a crowd of 9,000 at ER and proceed it with the statement 'doesn't seem like there is any interest in this game at all'

I do find it strange that folk would be less enthusiastic for a competition which is one of only two we have a realistic chance of success in, but when it comes to it I suppose a lot of folk, rightly or wrongly, will look at this as a game we should win pretty comfortably and keep their powder dry for the semi final they think we are going to stroll into :dunno:

[Souter96Mac]

Am I right in saying, we win, we're back to hampden?

[O'Rourke3]

Forgot to buy my ticket before going on holiday. Turns out that was lucky. I'm free but can't afford a late night. Dont get home much before 11 with these games and worse if it goes to ET and pens like United 2 seasons back. V early start Wed. Flying to Orkney then Shetland Thursday followed by a drive from Edinburgh to Thurso Sunday. Good night sleep tomorrow essential...

[Billy Whizz]

Hope we get a good crowd tomorrow, will be disappointed if we don't get at least 10,000

Up til last year the semis didn't have to be at hampden but last year seemed to change that with both semi's at hampden.

The semis are weekends now too so I'd expect them to use Hampden regardless of whose playing.

Did Morton not insist?

[kaimendhibs]

Seems weird that we can sell out a ****ty view away end at Parkhead priced 27/30 quid in 20 minutes but people moaning about 20 quid (18 for ST holders) for a home quarter final. Each to their own I guess

The wording of the article below would suggest that it's far from being a formality for both semi finals to be held at Hampden.

[kaimendhibs]

Supply and demand.Quality answer. How about this is the 1st season since as far as I can remember, prob into the 90's that I havent got a ticket for ibrox or parkhead? However, **** crowds at the cup matches until hopefully we make a semi or even better a final? I will 100 per cent for sure get a ticket for either or both of those even though the demand will outstrip supply for sure. Then i will come back possibly with a smug retort like yours.

Where would that be played?

[Dashing Bob S]

Basic truth is that nobody really gives a monkeys about the cup tournaments until it's the semi-final stage - unless it's a derby in the earlier rounds.

I'd personally rather watch a home game v Livvi with a semi-final place up for grabs in a tournament we have a chance of winning than one v Motherwell where the best we can do is get three points in one we have no chance of winning. But what do I know?

hopefully 15k will get the subtle message there.............

I think the league cup has been devalued enough without playing semi finals at non UEFA compliant stadiums with small pitches and limited facilities even if they do sell chips.:greengrin

[matty_f]

I'm not going due to work commitments but the price is probably putting a few off. I suspect it will be around the 8k mark

:agree: Just the wrong side of pay day for me. That's where the cup top up was dead handy.

[GreenArmyyy!]

11k would be a good attendance for this, sadly the removal of cup top up ensures lower crowds than normal for games like this. Doesn't help that morale is incredibly low around the place just now.

[Keith_M]

Except, as Firestarter pointed out, we had over 13k against Ayr last season. Overall though the attendances for League Cup games seem to be lower than for the Scottish Cup.


I think there's going to be a lot of people gambling on there being no Qs at the gate... and will end up regretting it. I predict a post match thread moaning about the Qs with the word 'shambles' in the title. ;-)

I've been off for 2 weeks and only earn if I work, 1st day back tonight so back to the grind, normally I'd take a Tuesday off for these games but still got bills to pay.

[Keith_M]

I'm not going because I'm a cheap git and can't be @rsed.


If we win, however, I'll be expecting at least two tickets for the Semi Final.

They should have kept the cup top ups. No need to scrap them.

The last season with Cup top ups has 7 home games working out just over £7 a game..great for us but no for Hibs..just saying...

Whilst that's true it's the luck of the draw. League cup was basically pre-season in the groups and with one or two games before Hampden it would have been good to keep open.

Incredible comment!

How can anyone say that morale is low around the club?

If it's low just now, what was it like 3 years ago when we got relegated or during the four or five years of unmitigated pish that we had to endure before that?
