Let’s sell out the Hun game

[BegbieHSC]

We saw the impact a full Easter Road had on this new squad - they fought until the very end, and secured a result, despite being up against it, being a largely new squad, up against a, let’s face it, no bad squad that’s not really changed since doing well last season.

Give them the same backing against the bigoted filth from the West, and get a wee buzz about the club going again.

Tickets on sale now:

[Garymcl]

Don’t see why we shouldn’t but probably won’t sell out it’s something that has always irritated me how we can sell out derby games but can’t sell out our next home game against killie etc and end of the day three points is three points anyway agree our support so far has been brilliant both in numbers and vocal backing home and away let’s keep it up :thumbsup:

[matty_f]

Another sell out would be outstanding. We saw yesterday how good the atmosphere can be in Easter Rd when there’s big numbers in, and what a lift it would give everyone to fill the place again.

[Jock O]

Slight tangent, but can you no longer buy a season ticket? There seems to be no option on the web page now, I thought last week it was maybe because the Hearts game had sold out they had removed option but it has not reappeared.

[Since452]

Lets sell it out. No reason why we shouldn't. When was the last time we averaged over 20 thousand for our first two league games?

[NAE NOOKIE]

A lot could depend on the Livvi game, get a win there ( not easy ) and this will have been a pretty good start to the season which will make the Sevco game a wee bit more of a free hit with 7 points already in the bag.

Yesterday was Sunday at 12:00, that game is a Saturday at 12:30 so you would hope folk would find attending it a wee bit easier. I think we will do fine selling the West and East, but as is usual for games against the uglies selling out the FF lower will be the problem.

They look "reduced" to me. Back to Early Bird prices which suggests one game is the equivalent value for renewing early.

Season tickets for this season have been at Early Bird prices from the very start, today's prices are the same as they were last week. There was no reduction for renewing early this season, only some free stuff included like a ticket for the Norwich friendly.

You'll be waiting a long time.

The police and stewards love enforcing rhe rules with an iron fist against ourselves and the rest of the SPFL, but strangely disappear whenever the Huns or Celtic arrive at ER.

They'll do as they like, once again, and there'll be nothing the police, stewards, authorities or Hibs will do to stop them.

Or the media. Or Nil By Mouth and their cohorts.

There's a strange deaf blindness that overcomes so many people in Scotland when thousands of Rangers fans come to town that magically lifts when a dozen bams from any other team step out of line.

It's almost like mob mentality and bullying and coercive behaviour get you somewhere.

If we're ever in the fortunate position to have 18-19k fans looking for tickets for games v Celtic and Rangers I'd happily give the pair of them the same proportion of our stadium as they give us for Parkhead and Ibrox which would work out at around 300-400 tickets.

I'm not sure they'd be ****ting themselves if they watched the first 49 minutes of the second half though.

Back on topic though, I do always think the arrival of Sevco, and all the offensive nastiness they bring with them, puts off sections of fans from attending? Folk with young kids, or just people who get depressed at the visible failings of humanity (ie the away end). I've certainly avoided Sevco and Celtc games in the past just because they make me sick...

Unsure how it’d work GDPR wise, but I think it would be great if HIbs, using the ‘Choose Hibs’ marketing frame, sent an email to all non-season ticket attendees of the derby, with a ‘Thank you for Choosing Hibs for the derby - gaun choose us for the rest of the season, with the money paid for the derby off the price of a season ticket.

Cant see it happening as where does it end, if you qualify for Europe you need to accept you play weekend and midweek. It would then be squeezed in further in to the season no doubt some midweek that really would not suit us.

It may well have changed from when I was a steward 10 years ago, but they'd likely have brought in extra bodies (probably from Glasgow) to make up the numbers for the bigger games - but the typical pool of stewards were Edinburgh based.

You pick and choose what shifts you want and the same faces would work Easter Road, Tynecastle, M'field (Friday night games)...

And the fans can't be blamed for that. Hibs can't keep letting them down by losing every time they go to the likes of Livi and expect the fans to rally round for the next game.

I remain mystified by the collective mindset at Hibs. The number of times we follow up a confidence-boosting result with a pitiful display like yesterday's first half is drearily predictable.

Why were the players not fired up from the off? It doesn't seem to come down to the manager as we've seen the same script over and over again.

Fans are meant to support the club not go up and down on the back of one defeat. Nothing will ever change if many chose to reflect some apparent weakness you seem to be accusing the club of.

If yesterday was a rarity then yes it would be fickle of fans to stay away, but it wasn't. The fans turned up in numbers and, once again, were badly let down. The change you mention has to come from the club/players if they want the fans behind them week in week out. Losing to Livi should be a shock, not something we've got used to.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I absolutely agree on your opinion on what following a club should be, I will be there on Saturday as usual. But I was absolutely gutted about yesterday's result, I had seriously hoped the feel good factor from last Sunday would carry over into a good and winning performance at Livvie ... at least a draw anyway.

Instead by all accounts, including the manager's, what we got was a first half of dazzling ineptitude in which we failed to compete with the one team out of 12 in this league absolutely everybody knows you must give 100% effort against, because that's what you will get from them. After an apparent roasting from the manager we then come out and have a far better second half, but still lose the game on the back of what was by all accounts criminal defending and a forward who missed an absolute sitter.

The result is what could have been a good start to the season with two wins and a draw, or at least a solid start with a win and two draws, has turned into same old same old with Hibs following up a result against Hearts, which though only a draw was achieved in a way that made everybody feel great, with a sub standard performance against the financially poorest and worst supported club in the league.

The point here is that it doesn't matter what me and you think fans attitude to 'supporting' their club should be, the absolute fact is that if we want to sell out games against the likes of Rangers or Celtic the walk up fans being asked to fork out £33 for a bog standard league game need to have at least a wee bit of belief that the team can put in a performance that will give us the chance of a win or a draw .... losing at Livvi just doesn't do that.

Right there is the correlation between performances on the pitch and the club making money or not .... if that result has put 1000 adults off attending a game they might have if we had won yesterday, not an unreasonable presumption, then at a stroke it has cost the club a minimum of £33,000 .... when you look at that it makes spending money on the CH and midfield player everybody apart from the folk running the club acknowledges we desperately need seem like a sensible use of the club's resources.

[Since452]

We shouldn't need a result at Livingston to sell out the Huns game. Not this early in the season. If we start the game like we did in the second half yesterday then we have more than a chance of causing an upset.

You can restrict the sales to non-UK tourists. I had to show my passport when I purchased a tourist ticket for a Lazio game a few years ago so it would be easily enforceable. I feel like there is a general lack of imagination from Hibs and others on this.

The city is the second most visited city in the UK, there is a huge potential market there.

Some better thinking needs to be deployed from hibs on this matter.

[Smartie]

Don't get me wrong, I do think that there's more Hibs could do to target tourists.

I just think that it will only ever manage to attract a few hundred folk tops, and there are certain games it really shouldn't apply to due to the impact of having away fans trying to sit in the home end and the potential for damage that it might cause - Rangers being number one, Celtic being number two.

Not sure how interested your average tourist would be in seeing us play other teams.

If we were about to have 10000 empty seats for a home game with St Mirren and there were thousands of tourists out there desperate to watch a game of football then I'd be well up for it. I just don't think that's entirely based in reality, and I'll be f***** if I'm sitting next to Billy from Shankill Road watching Hibs v Rangers.

[He's here!]

Not sure how you can judge whether a tourist is a football fan or not?

Yes, it's a generalisation I guess but I used to work at the Fringe and Festival for several years and while I was never slow to talk up Hibs to folk from all around the globe, the vast majority of those I dealt with were not visiting Edinburgh with football in mind.

I absolutely agree on your opinion on what following a club should be, I will be there on Saturday as usual. But I was absolutely gutted about yesterday's result, I had seriously hoped the feel good factor from last Sunday would carry over into a good and winning performance at Livvie ... at least a draw anyway.

Instead by all accounts, including the manager's, what we got was a first half of dazzling ineptitude in which we failed to compete with the one team out of 12 in this league absolutely everybody knows you must give 100% effort against, because that's what you will get from them. After an apparent roasting from the manager we then come out and have a far better second half, but still lose the game on the back of what was by all accounts criminal defending and a forward who missed an absolute sitter.

The result is what could have been a good start to the season with two wins and a draw, or at least a solid start with a win and two draws, has turned into same old same old with Hibs following up a result against Hearts, which though only a draw was achieved in a way that made everybody feel great, with a sub standard performance against the financially poorest and worst supported club in the league.

The point here is that it doesn't matter what me and you think fans attitude to 'supporting' their club should be, the absolute fact is that if we want to sell out games against the likes of Rangers or Celtic the walk up fans being asked to fork out £33 for a bog standard league game need to have at least a wee bit of belief that the team can put in a performance that will give us the chance of a win or a draw .... losing at Livvi just doesn't do that.

Right there is the correlation between performances on the pitch and the club making money or not .... if that result has put 1000 adults off attending a game they might have if we had won yesterday, not an unreasonable presumption, then at a stroke it has cost the club a minimum of £33,000 .... when you look at that it makes spending money on the CH and midfield player everybody apart from the folk running the club acknowledges we desperately need seem like a sensible use of the club's resources.

Totally brainstorming here, what would the difficulty be for the club to propose variable pricing depending upon the demand, which depends directly upon our win ratio? I.e if our win per matches played ratio is dropping, the walk up price drops. If we are on a winning streak the prices go up. The issue might be how this translates to season ticket pricing but at least like this we might be able to encourage more fans to come along to support the team, even when we’re being a bit rubbish. I’ll go back to my beer now

So, no gonna be a sell out then.


Never mind, maybe next time, after we go on our long winning streak. :greengrin

Considering our record against them at ER it’s a miracle anyone wants to go [emoji12]

Maybe we are all hoping the law of averages kicks in and if the BBC are to be believed we record our first win in 20 against them at ER in the top league since 2006!

They said I’m looking forward to it and pray we do them for once.

Seriously? The BBC cut it down to only top league matches just to get a seriously damning statistic? How very partisan of them. Anyone know how many times we beat them at ER in the last, let’s say, six years and what our head to head record is in that period?

Can’t post the full list but it doesn’t make for great reading. Very close results other than them pumping us 6-1 at Ibrox a few years ago but the last time we beat them in the league was in 2018 at Ibrox.

From when they were liquidated up until Lenny resigned, our record against them was actually very good, across all competitions we had more wins. Since then, apart from the semi last year, we've lost most of the games against them. Given they are back to pre-liquidation levels I sadly can't see that changing any time soon
