St Johnstone Dot Count

[Dashing Bob S]

They've opened the South already. Sign of the times?

[hibbyfraelibby]

Hibs Kids

[Peevemor]

Nah, the Belle Stars.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Bumper crowd for this I reckon. Wonder if Hearts could give us the spare seats they don't fill

[wookie70]

I think we should consider opening the south up for all games for Hibs fans except the Derby and possibly the ugly sisters. Go for a build it and they will come. It means lots of good seats with groups able to sit together rather than maybe putting some off because there are no seats left they like. Not sure of the costs involved and that may make it a non starter but there is something about showing we are ready to grow and almost expecting fans to fill the seats. Given where we are in the league and the buzz it may be a good time to extend the kids programmes. Much easier to start supporting Hibs when there is 17K plus at games and we are playing well and winning than at other times.

Frankly I’d reduce the OF to the same percentage of the ground that we get at theirs.

Do we need their money? Doubt it.

Give the Huns 1/50th and the tims 1/60th.

Hearts give us a similar allocation so that’s not such a big deal to me, they’re quiet anyway ;)

[Johnny Clash]

Nah, the Belle Stars.


Very good!! :)

[Phil MaGlass]

SO the big question is, wheres the dot count?

[Souter96Mac]

Will need to start counting the amount of dot counts actually being done

Tbh I am not sure that their money means a great deal to us.

We don’t rely on that extra money. As long as we sell the rest of the ground out then it doesn’t matter.
Even if we don’t sell it all out I don’t think it’s that big a deal.

I would love nothing more than for Rangers and Celtic to have their allocation cut at Easter Road.

However there's no way Hibs will turn away guaranteed income.

If they get the full stand, they are both going to sell out their full allocation. If their numbers are cut, there will need to be a number of empty seats left for segregation. I'm not sure how many that would be but let's say it's around 500.

500 seats that could have been sold at £28 each is £14000. Then you have to question whether our fans would fill the rest of the stand or if there would be even more empty seats.

At the end of the day it will come down to financial reasons. I really doubt that Hibs will refuse several thousand pounds.

Never a truer word spoken. We are not in a position to cut the old firm ticket allocation. Its money for nothing basically.

[we are hibs]

Unfortunately we do still need their money:gwa:



No we dont. If the Hibs ends are sold out long before the two games, which I imagine they will be; Then we should be allocating hibs fans in the south stand. Should also be done for safety reasons for the Huns game as that'll be a highly charged atmosphere I'd imagine

[southern hibby]

I'd say allocate as many tickets to Hibs fans as possible for the old firm games. To me this is a long term investment. We could potentially get more fans who go to the south buying season tickets, strips etc that would boost our ticket sales in the long run.


GGTTH

[CorrieHibs]

I'm with you.

Let them have either the the top or bottom. If it's the top then not the seats above the advertising boards. Can't trust them spittting at hibs fans below (plus the police would ignore it). The Rangers fans should also be kept in the stadium 20 mins after full time. We get the same treatment.

... And not allowed to go to the toilets either, as happens to us at Hunbrox.

Why would you want 4000 Rangers fans rampaging up the road when we are in pubs and at bus stops?

I'm definitely not convinced we would need the three home stands plus 1,500 seats in the South.

Sell any less than that and it doesn't make financial sense to cut their allocation.

So is this St Johnstone Dot Count thread a Dot Count thread or not?

Anyone got the scores on the doors at this stage?

Looking like another big hibby healthy attendance for Saturday :flag:

Im almost certain the Rangers game would need seats in the south purely because it'll be hotly anticipated and their first visit to Leith since 21st May. Celtic maybe not as for some reason people are put off (hangovers) by early kick offs on Sunday's

I think maybe 500 from them. I think our average will settle about 17k so that's what I'm expecting for this game

If you're in hospitality instead of your usual ST seats do the Club out your regular ST seats back up for sale, or do I need to contact the Club to get them to do so? Ta.

[RoxburghHibs]

yes

Pretty sure its been covered before.
Your Client Reference Number is used when booking Hospitality,so your normal seat is released 👍

[Sir David Gray]

If you're in hospitality instead of your usual ST seats do the Club out your regular ST seats back up for sale, or do I need to contact the Club to get them to do so? Ta.

It depends if you've told the club at the booking stage that you're a season ticket holder. If you did then your season ticket is made invalid for that one game.

[221000]

Cheers guys - booked hospitality with client ref numbers so seats will rereleased by the sound of it.

[Baw187]

My kids have birthday parties so they’re not using their Hibs Kids tickets and I’ll be staying in my normal seat, thankfully!

Not that I didn’t enjoy my jaunt to the South for the Motherwell game, but nothing compares to where I’ve been sitting for years.

Celtic maybe not as for some reason people are put off (hangovers) by early kick offs on Sunday'sthey were not in Leith on the 21st of May, were they? oh, you talking about a meeting with us in Glasgow a wee while back? pretty sure they've forgotten that already.

move on to the next chapter of the THE Rangers' history:wink:

[monktonharp]

It depends if you've told the club at the booking stage that you're a season ticket holder. If you did then your season ticket is made invalid for that one game.you do get a discount when purchasing hospitality, if you are a ST holder. hence the release of your original ticket which is fair.

Yeah you're right I did get a discount on hospitality as I'm a ST so fair enough they take my seats back to sell on. Cheers for the info guys.

[Jones28]

Exactly, when have you ever heard of anyone who couldn't get a ticket for a game at ER? It would be nonsensical to cut their allocation, at the expense of extra policing and stewarding, loss of seats to segregation etc etc

[GreenCastle]

Looking forward to this game.

We should have beaten them last time away from home.

They are well organised but we have better players. Hopefully another full home end.

[frazeHFC]

We need to play better than we did against Dundee to win this one, but at least we ground that one out. St Johnstone have had a lot of praise but they're on a bad run and they didn't look up to much in the away game. So we should be winning this.

I agree we will need to play well to win but Dundee are due some credit, they made life difficult for us in the first half in particular and mix that with the referee performance it was always going to be tight.

[NAE NOOKIE]

As usual we will lose fans to the rugby, especially as its the All Blacks Scotland are playing. One of my mates who has a season ticket is going to Murrayfield, though he has passed his ST on to someone who cant usually get to Hibs games.

With these now regular Autumn internationals and the SRU allegedly selling some tickets for as little as £1 ( hence the sellout for last weeks game ) it means that potentially Hibs are competing with Scottish Rugby 6 times every season ... the only reason the last game didn't clash with us was because of the international break.

Because of the Yams proximity to Murrayfield they never have to play at the same time as the Rugby and that IMO is totally unfair on Hibs .... I cant understand why we don't reschedule games on Rugby weekends to either the Friday or the Sunday, most folk who buy Murrayfield tickets do it weeks in advance, so buying a ticket for ER in the week of the game shouldn't be a financial strain.

If our games clash with all 6 Rugby internationals and we lose 200 adult walk ups each time that's £26,400 these internationals are costing us ... even more if these adults were bringing kids with them and lost revenue at the food kiosks and the club shop.

It might be an idea for Hibs to look into exactly how much these international clashes are costing us .... we are the only senior club in Scotland who have this problem.

Tricky one. Even if the Hibs games were to be moved I think it's unlikely the majority of the lost walk-ups going to the rugby would also shell out for a football match in the same weekend, even if they have bought their rugby tickets weeks in advance.

Maybe with the South being open, more fans are hoping to walk up rather than book in advance?

A big win where people who missed the match are gutted, could solve that issue. Could someone please email Petrie and tell him we need at least 4-0 or better still 6-0 or 7-0. Cheers.

Not forgetting all the extra expense draining folks wallets & purses ..... A downturn this time of year probably affects most clubs, making it all the more baffling as to why the SPFL organised so many fixtures for December.

The rugger v New Zealand, best team in the world playing at Murrayfield defo impacts our attendance.

Although, we have come so far in a couple of years if we are thinking a 15k-16k attendance against St Johnstone is a bit on the low side.

Hearts (when they actually move back to Tynecastle) will never play a home match on the same day that Scotland are playing rugby at Murrayfield, due to how close both stadiums are to one another.

If there is a genuine impact on our home attendances when we are playing at the same time as a rugby match takes place at Murrayfield then that's clearly unfair and these matches should be rescheduled accordingly.

[hibbyfraelibby]

I doubt it as our next two home games are v Celtic and then Rangers.

Well the 4-0 on the Sunday followed by the 7-0 in midweek sounds achievable but never take St. Johnstone for granted this weekend

[mutley]

A big win where people who missed the match are gutted, could solve that issue. Could someone please email Petrie and tell him we need at least 4-0 or better still 6-0 or 7-0. Cheers.

Na, we don’t need that, just to keep winning and Celtic and Aberdeen need to drop points, then as we get closer to 2nd/top - THAT (I would hope) would get people wanting to be there.

Rescheduling to a Sunday or midweek would be even more detrimental as we’d probably get smaller attendences. We should request an away fixture though for anytime Scotland are at home at Murrayfield.

[WoreTheGreen]

Is their rugby on Saturday . Coming from Fife.

Maybe sunday if the cooncil give them theGREEN light

[erin go bragh]

I'm away in the morning for a stag do in Liverpool, so that's 5 empty seats in the FF lower .

Id be raging if a 3pm Saturday kick off was moved because there was rugby on at Murrayfield

I agree, it would be better that they just worked the fixture list better to make sure we had an away game the Saturdays Scotland are at Murrayfield

Who cares about the rugby all who are going to the San Siro tomorrow let's get right behind the team as we have been this season so far and cheer the the team to yet another three points Ggtth :flag:

Looks like another great crowd, the 2 sections in south nearly sold out .

That would mean us being at home at same time as Hearts so inevitably one would probably end up moved away from the Sat. I dont think rugby has ever had any noticeable effect on our crowds anyway.

Four grandkids tickets HH

[monktonharp]

I think you will find that the Hibs kids in the south stand will not have a season ticket, why would you move your seat from the famous five to the south stand?excuse me, but the Hibs Kids ticket I purchased for my granddaughter was £15. almost a mini ST if you like, and as I have a ST in the East, I then swap seats to the South so that a 6 year old bairn can sit beside her auld Granda . therefore my ST place in the East is released is it not?

[monktonharp]

What a journey I’ve had since then !

What a journey I’ve had since then !that's brilliant to get someone along who's never been since then. I forced the issue with my nephew for the Dundee game, as he'd almost drifted in my opinion.

[trev the hat]

I remember her previous game, was against the sheep in the East & she was with an ex, whom I still know & still attends. She thoroughly enjoyed it & I’m delighted she’s coming back.

[mutley]

For a "Dot Count" thread, not a lot of counting has been done!

Anyhoo, I haven't counted today, but a quick look shows only 2 green sections (1 in the east 1 in the west) and most of the orange sections only have a few single seats dotted about, and 2 sections in the south seem quite full.

So all in all, it should be a decent crowd. I have no idea how many St J are planning to bring along but it would be nice to break the 17K barrier today

[Col2]

Look like a 16500-17000 est crowd.

[madhibby]

Tickets left as at 9 30am Saturday morning:

West 281
Famous Five 105
East 236
South 53 (only two sections available)

Total 675

I imagine Hibs will open 2 top tiers of the South Stand making say another 500 tickets available.

So the crowd, assuming St Johnstone bring around 500 looks likely to be around 17,000+ again.

Might be more gaps than usual in FF if Hibs kids plus parents are in South stand?

Not sure how the bottom paragraph can be true, especially given that it's always at least 99% empty according to on here.

Not sure they will open other sections of the south if still a fair number of spaces in other stands.

[SteveHFC]

If it wasn't for this thread you wouldn't think we had a game on today, who cares if they get a stand open

[Hibbyradge]

I'm looking forward to the game although my train from York has decided to stop in the middle of nowhere.

[SirDavidsNapper]

When was the last time we won 5 in a row? Hopefully we do it today!

just as i was thinking!

its incredible the amount of time some on here give to them and their exploits. Personally i couldnt care two hoots whether they play or not, just let them get on with it and stick to supporting our own team.

A young jambo friend of mine was laughing at the amount of comments on another thread about their stand issues and saying we were obsessed by them........

just goes to show how little they know!

PS, dunno how to make the image any bigger!

[Brooster]

Under 16k for this one.

[Real Emerald]

Under 16k for this one.

Probably, too many folk choosing the rugby instead of watching Hibs is my bet.

[Bam]

371 left as of 12:00

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

I have two ST's in sect 43 that I can't use. Is it worth releasing them back to Hibs at this stage? Looks like plenty seats left. If so what's the email address to do so? Usually phone and do it but unable to phone at the moment

[Ringothedog]

Under 16k for this one.

You will be wrong. The official attendance will be around 16250

[Hiber-nation]

possibly a game in gorgie at 3pm tomorrow

Still good though.

It was only a few years ago we were lucky to get five figures and attendances of around 12000 were seen as excellent.

Not a chance we'll be under 16k, going by the sales so far. Wouldn't be surprised if you got the same/more than we got vs hamilton

[houstonhibbee]

You will be wrong. The official attendance will be around 16250

It has to be more than that surely if there's only a handful of tickets left in the home stands plus several hundred in the south? Almost 17k?

[Gmack7]

what was the official attendance ?

[hibee_girl]

what was the official attendance ?

17,042

[Famous Fiver]

500 odd Saints fans.

Irvine Meadow brought more.

[Famous Fiver]

I'm pretty certain that if the game is on tomorrow the official attendance will be 17,043 including stewards, workies, ball boys, turnstile operators, catering staff (oh wait, there's no catering), council safety officers, council big wigs. I think they'll even count the cherrypicker!

[Keith_M]

There was nowhere near 17,000 actually in the stadium today. The East and FF Lower had thousands of empty seats between them.

[Golden Bear]

Something you notice from the West is that there is always a substantial number of fans who opt to stand at the back of the East. Presumably their seats will be empty albeit they've paid for.

[Ringothedog]

Not where we were in the East, the West was also very close to capacity

[jgl07]

Exaggeration? I call shenanigans on this type of crap hyperbole.

Thousands? The FF Lower holds less than two thousand seats. I cannot see it from the FF Upper but I can see the East and saw next to no empty seats.

I’m in West Upper and I’m afraid there were a lot of empty seats in the East. Quite a few in FF lower. More than I’ve seen in recent games. On the plus side FF Upper looked almost full.

Sad but true and almost makes the dot counts irrelevant to a degree because they only confirm number of seats sold, not what will be actual bums on seats. Clearly ST holders who are not there every game are the cause. It’s the way it goes.

[KWJ]

Choose not to go to the game on Saturday as I was going to go with my dad and brother and by the time I was looking at getting tickets it was front row by the corner flag or up at the back where my dad would likely cough out a lung if he attempted to get there.

Watching the game on Alba it was frustrating to see the free seats in the East that I'd have jumped at had they been made available. Assume it's ST holders not turning up and a few with folk standing at the back as mentioned.

The problems of success.

I know the fans can tell the club to release the seats as they can't go but perhaps a resell site run by the club and 50/50 on the sales or something like that would work better.
