Started a new thread as the other one unfairly concentrates on one group.

What's up with the support? The atmosphere today is crap.

Have we really become so boring?

Last season we were sure of great things in the season, and our greatest foes were P**s!!!!
This season we have had to concentrated on Europe to start with and not started as well as hoped in the league?
Then the mob from over the city go on an unbeaten run, it does take the wind out our sails!!

Between 2010 and 2013 we had a poorer team and the loudest singing section in the SPL. That was before the breakaway. Section 43 is rebuilding though so 2 sections can still work.

I've attended Hibs games home and away im 3 decades and I struggle to remember games against Kilmarnock generating much more atmosphere than today. A couple of SC ties at Rugby Park being the exception.

We have a weekly thread or 5 at the momeny about atmosphere. If it's a huge concern then the solution seems obvious to me.

It’s a home game against Kilmarnock, not really sure what people are expecting?!

Nope, not exactly red hot, but it was especially flat today .

Im sure the atmosphere was better years ago with much smaller crowds

No drum in the FF, makes such a difference.

Think there's a realisation that the team set up is not quite right. Much better balance once the 3 subs came on today, bit of bit in midfield, decent wing play and K & M up front. Once the team has settled down, we'll be fine.

Watched today's game from the Hibs Kids area in the South with my grandson.

Must say the Hibs support seemed very subdued today. Suppose we're allowed an off-day now and again. Hopefully, be back on song next week.

Fair play to the Killie fans they got right behind their team, even at 0-2 - horrendous songs though. Haven't sat so close to away fans at ER for a long time. With a few exceptions they seemed ok.

Think most fans fell asleep. Don't expect a good atmosphere when our most common pass was Porteous to Ambrose, Ambrose to Porteous. Atmosphere is built by constructive build up, pace and strong tackling. We were missing all of that for most of the match.

Think there was/is a wedding this weekend that they'd all be at so they're probably all at that or have been and are either no there today or are there but chosen to leave the drum at home due to the sore heeds?

Yep, that's what I thought.

I've seen more than enough dross in my time watching Hibs.

We played well against a good side who gave a lot to the game.

Many of us have longed for days like today whilst watching us lose to Alloa, Stirling Albion, Stranraer and Dumbarton.

We were good? No idea what you were watching. There was a time when I thought we were settling for a draw. No movement at throw-ins. Very little movement in midfield in the 2nd half until subs were made. We are still very shaky at the back. The balance of the team doesn't look great still. We were decent enough for a win but I don't think that was a good Hibs performance. Worried what an average performance would be if that was good, never mind a poor performance.

It was a decent match and as you say, Killie did their bit. They did sit in after they equalised, when they might have been better suited to seeking the third. It was a contest and there was some quality to the match.

I enjoyed the good parts of the game but there were large spells when it was 2-2 where we lacked movement and regularly passed is slowly from side to side at the back. Nothing wrong with that at times but at 2-2 I expect more drive.

As I originally said, people want to see players putting in good strong tackles, making runs and driving at players. There were times in the 2nd half where we lacked all of that. Milligan and Agyepong will help with this. Strong tackler and a player that runs at opposition and who also can put a foot in. A win is a win but I'm not overly surprised at a subdued atmosphere today.

I thought it was good today - plenty noise and encouragement when attacking and willing the team in - atmosphere is more than singing songs.
I did wonder what has happened with the 1875 group as their banner was missing as were the drum and flags. Had hoped it wasn’t some kind of fall out with the club but the question seems to have been answered a few posts back.

Tinhat on, I personally don't think the current singing section is all that. I'm all for a way to get the atmosphere better but believe there are a few things that need to be done for that to happen:

1. We need more than 1 drummer & for Since 1875 to have a more public profile so as people can join their ranks.
2. Needs to be in famous 5 lower right behind the goals for that added intimidating factor for opposing players.
3. Needs to encourage the team for full 90 minutes, not just when we are on top or in a big game. The atmosphere is dead a lot of the time, which is a real shame considering our growing season ticket sales and general attendances.

Do I think any of these suggestions will come to fruition, probably not, but we want to make Easter Road an intimidating venue and having a great atmosphere can only help.

Folk are saying when was there ever an atmosphere for a Killie game. That shouldn't be the point but with 17,000 plus apparently in the ground there should be a far better atmosphere, particularly at the start of the game.

:agree:


I was actually thinking that at the time. We have fantastic attendances yet it can still be really quiet. The only time it really picked up was after we scored the third.

The section I currently have my Season Ticket in (Section 2) must have the biggest group of boring bassas in the stadium. I try to join in the singing but almost nobody else does.

There was no where near that many in the stadium. The East was half empty so was the Famous Five. I was in the West so I don’t know how that looked. It’s unbelievable how many season ticket holders aren’t turning up this season.

There was probably less than 14k actually attended the game today. the East and FF had thousands of empty seats between them, so I presume the West was similar.


Still, I'd rather have that than be watching the games in front of 8-9,000.

From experience the East (where I had my season ticket) and the FF upper where I normally go these days I'd say the West is the fullest of the three stands and suffers less than the East and FF (in particular with the lower FF) from non attendees.

While this should all be taken on board, it looks like from the comments on here that the section weren’t at full numbers today and possibly a bit worse for wear, which might explain the drum’s absence. Was missed though.

Certainly weren't. Good game between 2 good teams. We were a little lacking defensively and Jamie made a huge difference up front. As Lenny said we are a work in progress and will only get better when players get up to speed.

The atmosphere shouldn't be all down to one small group in the FF Upper.

FWIW, I thought the guys at the back of Section 43, and sometimes the rest of the East, were giving it a good go occasionally but they were very short in numbers.

I didn't think the atmosphere was all that bad, though the 'singing section' were conspicuous by their absence …. I actually thought the crowd were pretty engaged in the game even though there wasn't a lot of singing until the second half. Until the singing section gets the FF lower the stadium will never realise its potential for atmosphere during the bog standard games …. for the bigger matches its always good IMO, sometimes brilliant.

On the game itself, I thought any neutral watching it would have come away having been thoroughly entertained, 4 excellent goals and two teams with an attacking attitude and at times both playing decent football …. I enjoyed it very much, even if I did have my hands over my eyes for the last few minutes :greengrin
