How many hibs fans were at the 2016 final?

[SouthMoroccoStu]

With an official Attendance of 50,701, once you take away corporate, sfa, debentures and west costs of Scotland fans, how many hibs fans were at the 2016 final?

[Onceinawhile]

Between 20 and 22,000 plus however many were in hospitality, so probably around 23,500

Think we got around 22 or 23k

[HibeeHibernian4]

Seemingly about 60,000 the way that folk pretend they were. :greengrin

Glad I have a photo of me on the park and my match ticket framed as proof.

[hibsfan7]

Well in 20 years time there will be about 500,000 hibs fan that said they were there
i was there at least and i have the ticket to prove it

[Sprouleflyer]

Enough to cover the pitch!

[NAE NOOKIE]

Around 23,000 give or take …. I don't have pics of me on the pitch to prove it coz I didn't go onto it, but I have my ticket and programme in a frame and a picture of me and my mates with David Wotherspoon out the back of the Hampden east stand taken after we bumped into him on the way out … great to see that he had been sitting with the riff raff supporting his old club that day :aok:

Memories of Wotherspoon a few minutes later in Asda obliging requests to 'drum' on the check out conveyor belt and starting a riotous sing song 🤣 Class!

[Nicho87]

David Witherspoon was on our bus and conducted the raffle draw at our pre-Match venue.

[Scouse Hibee]

Enough to bully The Rangers.

He was on our bus with his mates, nice lad and shows how Hibs can get into your blood.

The bowling club, yea I won one of the prizes ( well our table did)😁

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

I was (not) there

[Allant1981]

Ahh, what a great day, our bus driver was charging Derek riordans phone on the bus for some reason, he wasnt even travelling on our bus! Then leigh Griffiths stopped in his car on the main road as we were coming out and got a few cheers.

[Since452]

There were at least 45k Hibs fans there that day, Stokes put in the greatest ever performance on a football pitch and over 1 million fans attended the parade the next day :wink::flag:

Is Spoonie a Hibby or a Saints fan? (Serious question)

Saints. It's his boyhood club

Reminds me of the 1/4 away tie in Inverness. Everyone I speak to now tells me they were there, a few hundred hardy souls that night has turned into thousands in the 3 years since.

[BILLYHIBS]

Yep! I get that but I was hoping like many other former players he might have seen the light and turned native a la Keatings and Fontaine. :greengrin

The futures bright the futures green and white!

[seanshow]

putting the debenture tickets to one side, we had slightly less than half as the oppositions fans got more of the posh seats, like those above the north stand section e.

Think there were overseas fans who had travelled for the cup final and decided to take in the replay too. Can remember a few exotic flags in Johnny Foxes afterwards!

[we are hibs]

I'm sure rangers had slightly more tickets than us. They had more than half of the top tier iirc.

[The 90+2]

😂😂 was amazing. Always remember thinking how radge would it be to see that if you’re out for your weekly shop. Big drum was in Asda too.

[JeMeSouviens]

No, the club allocations were the same. I think debenture holders are asked what team they want to support and then allocated a seat at one side or the other - they're not tied to a particular seat, just an area.

I was in the North Stand, Rangers definitely had more of the South Upper than we did.

[JeMeSouviens]

I was in the North Stand, Rangers definitely had more of the South Upper than we did.

There were more Rangers fans but not because their new club was allocated more tickets. Read what I wrote again.

[Bostonhibby]

I was in the North Stand, Rangers definitely had more of the South Upper than we did.We were in the South Lower where there were plenty Hibbies.A few random Huns present and a few unsavoury incidents!

We were in hospitality as it was the only way our large group of Hibs fans could get in together.

What struck me as odd was how many corporate business groups were there. Sitting just above us was a large group from yorkshire who were guests of a bank.

One guy had a Leeds and Sevco badge but to be fair on him he was very complimentary about Hibs and shook all our hands at the end. Had a great conversation with his missus about the nature of Sevcos songbook. She was speechless.

Our hospitality area inside was nearly all Hibs. LD came in afterwards and she was a pleasure to see and absolutely delighted with the win.

Question is, how many turned out the next day for the parade.
Think I only remember a police quote of 100,000+
How are these things even estimated?

It was over 150,000

Only a big team could take 100,000

Big difference with a parade is many members of families turn up for the day as it's rather special.

We have around 1400 ST's and another 3-4k walk ups, not really that bad for an attendance of around 22-23k for a final.

[1van Sprou7e]

Does anyone know of any Hibs fans being in the rangers end? Now that would be a wild experience

Alaska Hibs flag was beside me at the game

I hope you meant 14,000 STs?

Thought you were a St Johnstone fan for a second there

[Galahibby]

I haven't got any photos of myself on the pitch, but managed to get this wee beauty when the team bus passed us on the M8 [emoji1184][emoji172]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190320/f04c5aafabbdfe2b9dbb5f951d375b6a.jpg

Even 3 years on seeing a picture like that makes me swell with pride and emotion at the achievement of that day and yes I was there and the picture of my two kids on the pitch with me has pride of place on my desk at work in Glasgow as I know it still irks The Rangers fans there 😂

[Hillsidehibby]

I was at every cup tie bar the final even though I had a ticket for the final I couldn’t go due to circumstances on the day. Gutted doesn’t come close.

We rang him from the cab on the way home and sang about the jinx being lifted[emoji16]
