All league games from St Johnstone onwards have been massive if we want to be possibly finish 4th or at worst 6th.
A win on Saturday would put us right in the box seat for the top 6 going into the split.

Yeah I think a win on Saturday would give us top 6 which I couldn’t have imagined a few weeks ago. Will also have us closer to the teams directly above hopefully. Hearts have a tougher run in than us.

There will be about 12000 in the ground. The official attendance will be given as around 16500 and when you watch the highlights on the telly you will see 100s of empty green seats. It has been the same at every home game this season.

People are committed to the club by buying an ST, guaranteeing money even when they do not attend. For me that’s a positive and would only be an issue if folk were missing out on tickets

I do agree that out ST number will reduce next year. I think that would have happened anyway unless we’d reached another cup final. I reckon we’ll drop back to around 11k or so

After every home match these days there are people questioning the "attendance" figure announced. Surely everyone now knows that it's the number of seats sold regardless of how many turn up? - Apparently not - we're left to trawl through tens/hundreds of posts which are a total waste of time and bandwith IMO.

As for ST holders not turning up - I agree with you. I'd imagine ST sales will be down next season, unless the no-showers are happy to keep giving money to the club regardless of whether they attend.

It's entirely possible they will be down next season (depending largely on where we finish in the league), and I'd imagine that would concern the Hibs board, and I'm sure they're already well aware of the empty seats..

However, mentioning it at every opportunity isn't going to help the board in any way, so I'm not sure what the point is.

Not turning up for a game doesn't mean you won't renew. It wasn't much different last year and we had record sales this year

To have an attendance figure you need attendees. Attendees are people who attend an event, meeting, gathering etc.

The published attendance figure is 'fake news'.

It is wrong to say that our attendances this season have been great. They're not even good. The attendance reflects the performance.

Really? Even if the actual attendance is a couple of thousand less than the tickets sold - average attendances in excess of 15,000 are at an historic high.

Some of us couldn't have dreamed of such numbers in the late 70s/early80s (and probably most of the 1990s and 2000s)

ST holders have missed games for years, it's a fact of buying a ST, you won't be able to go to all games. Maybe it is more noticeable since the stadium is fuller than it ever has been. But everyone who buys a ST will usually miss at least one game a season, it isn't the same people every week. This is across the board and not specific to Hibs either btw.

Agreed. Is the number of non-attendees say for the recent Accies game any worse than the games against Accies last season? Levels probably about the same.

People getting their knickers in a twist about nothing imo.

I'm with the OP on this. Attendance means those who were at the game, not seats sold.

Hibs should lead the way on this and publish seats sold with actual attendance next to it.

About three years ago, Hibs said that an average of 15% of Season Ticket holders were missing at each home league game.

If that percentage still stands, it would amount to roughly 2,000 people per game this season.

Over the last 10 years our average has been 12,560 and that figure is highly dependant on the last 3 seasons without which it would be much lower …. even with the missing fans our average is well over the norm for the last 10 years.

If you think the attendances this season aren't even good you should have been around when we were getting 7 and 8 thousand crowds back in the late 70s and 80s …. I remember around that time being chuffed because we had gotten a crowd of over 9,000 against Motherwell for our first game of the season.

The attendance certainly reflects the performance if you mean that the folk who joined the bandwagon over the last couple of years would inevitably lose interest as soon as the going got tough. It was always going to happen.

Correct. Figures for this season are remarkable and what really counts is income from league games, which again must be at record levels

Whether someone occupies a seat they have paid for is not a big issue. Reporting attendances differently from other teams is pointless

Yes your right so here's a bit of positivity for the game. Hospitality sold out, one section in the south nearly sold out, over 1000 Motherwell supporters coming through and not many tickets left in the other three stands. Could be nearer 18000 than 17000.

i relatively easily obtained a ticket from a fellow Hibs.netter for my brother to be able to attend with me that amazing day. There were a number of folk who actually didn't want to go because they thought it would be the same old.

If you had been desperate enough for a ticket you probably would have got one.

To be fair to the club as well anyone that's not banned from attending matches will be just as welcome as the next person to take their seat in the ground providing they behave within reason during the match.

'No Troublemakers' signage would be pointless in my opinion.

i relatively easily obtained a ticket from a fellow Hibs.netter for my brother to be able to attend with me that amazing day. There were a number of folk who actually didn't want to go because they thought it would be the same old.

If you had been desperate enough for a ticket you probably would have got one.

To be fair to the club as well anyone that's not banned from attending matches will be just as welcome as the next person to take their seat in the ground providing they behave within reason during the match.

'No Troublemakers' signage would be pointless in my opinion.

Mon the Cabbage!!!

Which explains why my two sons, both season ticket holders in the East had to scrabble for tickets and ultimately were sat in different sections of the stadium?
As for me, i didn't push too hard for a ticket as i had major health issues at the time BUT i given the opportunity i would have found a way had a ticket been available.

Ultimately, it is what it is

No, but it's purely based on experience. I as a follower for in excess of 50 years could not lay my hands on a ticket for the 2012 final(Thankfully as it turned out) Nor could i attend the glorious day ... Why? because the "hangers on , i was there brigade" had grabbed the the allocation doubtless via mates who do in fact attend week in week out as ST holders. Where are they when the **** hits the fan?



How come they got tickets and you, presumably a season ticket holder, didn't?

We have a higher average attendance but they've been to 2 semi's this season including 60 odd thousand at Murrayfield and will likely get to a final and finish above us. Unfortunately they are blowing us out the water revenue wise this season.

The numbers have gone down in most cases although other areas have gone up slightly. Presumably with returns being added. Most of the seats left are in Blocks 49 and 51 in the West Upper. I assume these are premium seats?

I was a "regular" attendee for some 40+ years , home and away and always paid at the gate . i neither look for,nor expect any favourable treatment for my loyalty. I am quite frankly in favour of all tickets being made available via a first come, first served public sale.
I am well aware of ST holders who purchased the max' number of tickets which they then sold on for profit. It happens, get with the programme sonny

what was the maximum number of tickets? You have two sons, could one of them not have secured on for you if they were entitled to more than one?

Or are you suggesting that season ticket holders bought the only ticket available to them, then sold them leaving themselves without a ticket?

As you've said, you didn't try for a ticket, so you didn't get one. Stop whinging man.

I hate to say that you are lying but none of that adds up.

If your sons both had season tickets, they would have had no problems in getting two tickets each. Why did one not buy two tickets together so they could sit in the same area? Could one have not given their second ticket to you?

I was able to get two tickets in the South Stand and the tickets were on sale for the are behind the goals for some time after.

You appear to be saying that you were too ill to attend and didn't try as a consequence but still wanted a moan.

FYI i live 350 miles or so from ER so popping down to queue for tickets was hardly an option.

My sons way of going about things is disorganised to say the least, so no surprise to me they ****ed up with tickets issue.

I was indeed very ill, but IF you read and digested what i posted then you will know i said i didn't PUSH too hard to get a ticket having been told by the consultant in hospital that there was nothing they could do for me. Do you want a medical ****in certificate ???

I was, and still am, in poor health but you pointedly omitted that i also stated that i would have made the effort if a ticket had become available.
You may consider yourself to be "Liberal", but to me you are shallow and empty headed, and contribute nothing of substance to any debate. It is you nitpicking and desperately trying to find fault in anything i post. For you to "side" with radge is frankly feeble, weak and gratuitous in the most brown nosing manner.

He isn't lying, just confused and has an interesting way of expressing his opinion :wink:

I wasn't a season ticket holder that season and neither was my brother, couldn't make a lot of the games due to us starting a new business. Did sponsor Kevin Thomson that season instead though and we had to do a bit of work for the tickets but thankfully got there in the end.
