Aberdeen home - Saturday

[drummondst34]

Just thought I had better start a threat for the game Saturday, v Aberdeen .

No one has put one up so far. How do we think we will do. Now the pressure is off , can the players showcase themselves for the last few matches ?

Travelling up from Leamington, ( who won the Birmingham Senior Cup , last night against Stourbridge , 3-1) ,in front of about 2500 plus at Aston Villa.
Trains up the west coast still not running properly yet, due to line works. I Shall travel from Stevenage , having driven there first, on the Lumo train,
and back £42 return .

As all restrictions are now off , hopefully trains etc will be ok, did not want to risk it earlier in the season , in case of overnight buses or train cancellations
and then getting stranded somewhere.

Also congratulations to Buxton , where I have also resided, being NPL champions , now in the NLN , same league as Leamington, split loyalties ?
I am always a glass half full person , lets hope for a good win Saturday .

Enjoy.

Yes West Coast has been a pain for a while. Trains here are absolutely awful.

Hopefully a Hibs win but can see draw written all over it. 0-0. Sorry.

[LaMotta]

Interested to see the crowd. Imagine there wont be many from Aberdeen paying over £30 quid to watch this one.

Probably get announced as 12 or 13k tickets sold, but I expect we will see the lowest actual attendance at a Hibs Dons game at ER for some considerable time.

[Allant1981]

Actually looking forward to getting back to ER, will no doubt regret this sentence at 4.45

You'll regret it well before then 😂

[PPZPOL]

Forgot the season hadn’t actually finished yet.

[Hibee Mac]

At least someone's looking forward to it haha. Don't know why I'm going but I will be

3 posts it took for the doom and gloom to kick in.

I hope the OP gets a good game for all his troubles, respect.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

I'll be there with one kid, the other doesn't fancy it. Can't see it breaking 10k tbh

I'm looking forward to be back at Easter road for a game.

You need to pay more attention - the doom and gloom started in the second post:na na:

I also hope he he enjoys his day. Albeit at a sparsely populated Easter Road. :wink:

[Tambo]

Honestly can't see much in the rest of the games this season due to the young lads still going for the league. Won't see any feature I wouldn't of thought so.

Maybe a Scott Allan appearance in one of the last two home games.

I wish the players had showcased themselves before now. Mind you, I’m not sure this hibs team and showcase go together.

Quicker these games are out the way the better

[SlickShoes]

For some reason I will be there, I expect us to play exactly the same as the last two games and if we get more than 1 shot on target I’ll probably take that as a positive outcome.

[IberianHibernian]

Staying above Aberdeen is , I suppose , important for financial reasons at least .

[Stuart93]

Barely. The remaining games are absolutely irrelevant

Higher we finish, more we pay for var next year.

[LaMotta]

Barely. The remaining games are absolutely irrelevant

The difference is £60k per position roughly in the bottom six. So the difference between 7th and 10th is about £180k.

I know what you mean, but probably worth us finishing strongly. £180k would pay a big chunk of safe standing in the FF lower.

Aye very much done with this season. Hearts in the SC final and Rangers in the EL final just compounding our ***** season.

Yeah its not enough to get me going along on Saturday to be fair.

[IberianHibernian]

[Stuart93]

Ok. So you won`t attack players or anyone else at club if we finish 10th as it doesn`t matter .

Honestly for me now whether we finish 7th or 10th the seasons already been a total failure. I’m feeling that apathetic towards hibs right now I don’t think I’d be able to muster up the effort to be angry at the club or players, past caring about this season.

I think all Hibs fans do but very fine margins . In a season with incredibly bad luck with injuries we were very close to winning the LC and making the SC final and were 1 goal off 4th at split .

[Stokesy's on fire]

Aberdeen will get their usual penalty and win more or less a friendly now

[Stuart93]

Aye but we never done any of it.

Kind of sick of us being on the wrong side of these “fine margins” now.

[He's here!]

We'll lose 1-0.

[hibbydog]

Another home game I’m missing because I can find some excuse.

After shelling out more than £400 on a season ticket my attendance this year will stand at 11 out of 19 home games. Mostly because of apathy..

Cracking investment, Gromit.

[drummondst34]

Should hopefully enjoy the day out

Hopefully, The Grosvenor, The Sheeps Heid , and The Artisan , will only be the starters , and the game , the main course .

[JimBHibees]

Quite looking forward to decent day out with a couple of beers. It's why I do for fun :greengrin

[Coco Bryce]

Not a game for the purists this one. Two brutal teams. Exhibition match.

We'll be there 😂

[GreenCastle]

We don’t score many goals.

Hardly scored more than 1 goal in a league game all season.

We haven’t come back from 2-0 down all season.

Any word on Hanlon / Jasper ?

Muller away so another space on the bench.

Think Mitchell might start but maybe not worth risking.

[Hibbyradge]

I'll be there with a couple of first timers from York and I'm really looking forward to it.

I've explained that there's not much at stake and that we're managerless, but it should be a good day nonetheless.

[Tambo]

Is Ryan back for this one?

[blackpoolhibs]

I was brought up a Hibs fan for life, seems some are only Hibs fans when we do well, and cant wait to stick the boot in when not.

[Billy Whizz]

Is Ryan back for this one?

He’s available for selection

[Green_one]

I predict lots of goals and silky play between two excellent teams. I will be there for sure

Nurse! It’s worn off again. :confused:

Say the safe words - just two more, just two more

Sounds like the football will be getting in the way of a good session.

Good point

[Keith_M]

They really should reduce the price for this. I'm struggling to see how it can be described as a Category A game.

[MWHIBBIES]

Is Scott starts I'll probably just leave. Should be playing our own guys, like Hauge.

[SlickShoes]

Agreed, at this point, someone like Scott shouldn't even be making the bench, I'd rather anyone just get some experience and learn something than watch him flounder about.

[Since452]

Will be a brilliant display of free flowing attacking football. End to end stuff. Who knows what way it'll go. I'll play it safe and say 5-5.

Should be a Class A game as we'll need drugs to watch it.

[SteveHFC]

Can we just share the points and move on.

[Chorley Hibee]

[QUOTE=Coco Bryce;6949857]Should be a Class A game as we'll need drugs to watch it.[/QUOTE

🤣🤣

Class A drugs should be part of the early bird scheme to sell season tickets.

[Pretty Boy]

2 of the group of 4 I go with aren't going. Thankfully one of them is my daughter because the football is 'too boring' (get used to it:greengrin) so means I can get a couple of pints pre match.

To say I'm looking forward to it is a stretch but it's been a while and these games still matter from a financial perspective.

[JohnM1875]

I'm actually looking forward to it. Seems like an age since we've had a home game. Always get the buzz again around Thursday. Just can't help myself.

[Onceinawhile]

I'll be there, but can't say I'm looking forward to it.

Especially as the u18s are playing tonight, so we won't even get any fresh faces in.

[SaulGoodman]

The A stands for Apathy

Haha, yes true.

[Sir David Gray]

Believe it or not but the price of tomorrow's match is actually category B.

Fully agree with your point though.

[Billy Whizz]

York place is now open both ways for cars

[Tambo]

https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/article/more-to-come-from-melkersen

Little article on official website from Melkersen, he has been a little quiet during the past few games but has been in good positions which is always a good sign.

Hope he can score Saturday.

[LewysGot2]

Aye but Scottish Water have dug up Easter Road at Greggs. 3 way lights causing tailbacks in all directions

[Carheenlea]

Does feel like a long time since I took my seat at Easter Road. Can’t actually remember what game game it was. I was on holiday for the Dundee Utd game but watched that game online, so a good number of weeks has passed and a lot has happened within that period.

Still not decided if I’ll travel up or not. Like many, I’m already in close season mode and might end up just taking the watch online option out of choice rather than necessity.

Feels like I’ve hardly been at ER this season, even though I’ve been at every game we’ve played there. Two games played there since the start of March.

Think tomorrow will be the lowest home attendance (in terms of folk actually there rather than attendance given) at a league game in a long, long time.

[jakedance]

Just bought my ticket for today. £32. Genuinely questioning my sanity.

Just go!

I was thinking I wouldn’t be bothered but then thought back to all the times during lockdown we couldn’t attend games.

It’s Hibs..least it will give you something to talk about! Enjoy the game

I’m sure you will😀

I agree it’s grossly overpriced, even if we were both playing for a place in Europe.

However season ticket holders can buy half price tickets for non ST holders online for this match by using promotion code ‘seasonticketholder50’ when booking.

[Jones28]

That’s ridiculous pricing.

[Hibby70]

My 8 year old is really not wanting to go today. Told him he has to due to my dad relying on me taking him and nobody around to watch him today.

To be honest I think I'd be giving it a miss if I could. Better not tell him I've renewed his season ticket😂

Roll on next season.

Best day of the week, waking up on a Saturday morning, having a 3pm KO at Easter Rd, you just can beat it!

Rain or hail or thunderstorms

Agree Billy. That positivity will be gone by half 3 probably but you can’t beat that Saturday morning optimism
