Scottish Cup 4th round - Hibs v Hearts

[buktapurple79]

Some bookies have us as favourites - paddy power for example have us at 7/5 and they lot at 8/5

Bookies rarely wrong.

[JimBHibees]

Indeed. There's a sense of inevitability at derbies that we'll concede a soft early goal which sets the tone for much of the game. Couple that with the form we've been in for the last 14 months and I'm not surprised a lot of season ticket holders are giving this a miss.

Bolt with the sense of inevitability nonsense

[h1bs4life]

It’s a cup game , a home tie get right in tae them and we can win this.
The day I don’t go to a Hibs game with the sole reason being I am scared we will get beat is the day I give up .

[The dalmeny]

Suspect there's a massive wave of complacency washing over them.

[Libby Hibby]

Being scared? 🤣🤣🤣

It’s a game of football, not walking through *Muirhouse at night and you suddenly hear footsteps behind you.

*apologies to the good folk of Muirhouse.

[berwickhibee]

Need to watch for the long throw, noticed the first goal last night the boy launched it in.

Albeit it should have been a foul throw, foot well on the park.

They will use this weapon anytime they are close enough to do damage.

And as for the penalty🤣. They do it, no pen.

Opposition do it penalty.😡

Quality second goal from Smith though, great technique.

[Since452]

They're in a league of their own behind the old firm. No point pretending they aren't a good team..This is the cup though so need to get stuck in.

[madhibby]

Keep on hearing about poor ticket sales, anyone know what’s been shifted so far?

Total Attendance at moment looks to be around 17500 including Hearts End.

East is nearly sold out with around 200 tickets left. Tickets still available in the West stand with seats together at the ends of the stand - around 900 left.

Famous Five plenty tickets left, around 2000 tickets sold and 1600 left - top level not so many left but plenty all over in the lower tier.

Total tickets still available for Hibs fans around 2,700.

Still 4 days of ticket sales left - doesn't look like it will be a sell out - but if (say) another 1000 tickets are sold total attendance will be around 18,500 with around 14,000 Hibs fans in attendance?

[Jones28]

‘Somehow defy the odds’

Who do you think we’re playing? And the odds may surprise you actually.

If we defy the odds we’ll get beat according to the bookies 😂

It's far too late to organise now but this would have been a big game to trial the signing section in the FF lower.

There are sections of that tier were barely a couple of handfuls of tickets have been sold. That creates a double whammy of there being no Hibs fans right on top of the pitch at that end and also a crap impression going out on TV. Even with steady sales between now and Sunday that area is going to have huge gaps in it.

Behind the goals should be an area to make things really hostile for an opposing goalkeeper (not throwing things at them obviously). The worst Clark will have to worry about on Sunday is the rustling of sweetie papers or the glare of the sun bouncing off all the empty seats.

need to do something to build the numbers for the singing section, the B7 group in the east is tiny. st johnstone have a bigger singing section than us

[MKHIBEE]

Perfect for Norman nae mates :agree:

[Stuart93]

I’ve woke up feeling very much like **** hearts

[Oscar T Grouch]

Sitting listening to a couple of jambos at the bus stop this morning. We have to beat them on Sunday, they are so over confident it will make my year to grab a win and shove it right up them on Monday morning. Derbies are always up for grabs, history has proven that. :flag:

[SON OF PADDY]

They're in a league of their own behind the old firm. No point pretending they aren't a good team..This is the cup though so need to get stuck in.

I can fondly remember, their fan's singing
'We are unbeatable' at Easter Road.

If my memory serves me right, that didn't last for long!

We ended up singing back to them,
'You're no unbeatable'
as there fans looked on shell-shocked!

Get behind the team, f@#k the hearts.

I think it's worth distinguishing between a signing section and the block 7 "ultras" at least 1/3rd of the east is a regular signing section. Since 1875 were class at getting it going with songs ppl would sing. Nowadays it's mostly drum and chants people either don't know or don't like. Go back to basics, start songs people will sing

We had a decent team back then no like this bunch. I’m dreading Sunday and just wish I could wake up and find out it was just a bad dream I had.

[Rick Rude]

Yet they're the same team that needed a soft pen to draw at Dundee United, lucky to draw at st mirren and should have drawn at home to st Mirren if not for another strange refereeing decision. Wonder what league of their own they'd be in without some of the rather dubious decisions.

Let's also not forget that Aberdeen are not a good side especially away from home. They lost 4-0 to Dundee United not that long back.

I'd like to think that our signing section is too busy bringing in new players to join in any singing.:greengrin

We could buy tickets wherever we wanted for this game though. If enough people felt the same way as you, it would have sold out no?

The fact that hardly anyone bought theirs in the FF lower maybe shows that it's not as popular an area as you think?

[KeithTheHibby]

That is because there is no real attraction to sit there at the moment. Put the singing section there and hopefully some safe standing and you would like to think it would be more popular.

I always forget what the "big games" are, what are they again?

Is it just Celtc, Rangers and Hearts? I had thought maybe Aberdeen tae, but we have beat them, so that cannae be a big game. Unless it doesn't count as a "big game" if they had a man sent off?

Would say for me anyway, the big games are the derbies and OF games, also all cup ties

Sheep mehhh - bigger than the rest of the league aye but not a big game as such IMO

[Since452]

Calm down they ain't that good. FFS they were playing championship football 2 years ago!

They just beat us 3-0 and beat the team that beat us 4-0, 5-0 and are 11 points above us after playing in Europe every midweek. There's a gulf between Hibs and Hearts at the minute. Ron Gordon has presided over it and should be ashamed considering where both clubs were a couple of years ago. A win on Sunday would be a start to making a ridiculous situation a bit better. Are we capable of beating them? I think so. We aren't as bad as some make out. We need to be in their faces from the off though and can't start like we did at the weekend.

Agreed.

But that's due to the family section being there and the folk buying the tickets rarely using them.

[j'adorehibs]

so who all here sits in either the west or east who would move to the FF lower if it was an official singing section/standing?

i have great seats there an attend every home game with my kids . why should i move (im directly behind the goals in row P ) to some garbage seat at the corner in the east or west?

if people want an atmosphere make it! i remember when i went to the old east it would be rocking and that was without 20 teenagers and a drum

I would move there if it was more boisterous. I would actually have the family section in the upper and standing in the lower. Get the bairns involved in the atmosphere and the tifos

if it was ever to be considered we would need a good 500 people stating they would be the Hibs Ultras/Standing Section or whatever you want to call it at every home game behind the goals .....then id consider sitting upstairs but im not going to move for 20 boys and a drum.

Yeah and your 100percent right. I have my own personal views on the current group,, and I wouldn't move for them either to be honest,, I don't think they do enough to engage the wider fan base and are too focused on their own wee ultras world

[Frazerbob]

Behind the goal should be the 'cheap seats' which encourages the young team and the bams to go there. In this day in age, you don't need a 'family section'. The entire stadium is sanitised and suitable for kids.

Aberdeen made their old family section behind the goals a singing section for this season, they didn’t even have 20 boys and a drum as you’ve put it yet it sells out regularly. If you offer people a proper place to stand where there would be decent atmosphere they’ll go there.

just my opinion but I felt the period 2015-18, and in particular the seasons in the aftermath of the Scottish cup win, Hibs were very supporter and community oriented.

I appreciate that I may just have felt that because the team was doing well and we were all basking in the warm glow of the cup win, but I credited Dempster with it at the time.

There's too many nodding dugs in the Boardroom, plus some who were Petrie's pals that are still there, and while he's not on the Board, David Forsyth is still involved in some capacity.

We easily best them earlier in the season, worst team to play at ER this season. They're absolutely woeful away from home. Dundee United beat them 4-0. Their record at Easter Road in the last 3 years is also abysmal.

With no new signing in yet and it looking like there won't be in time for Sunday.
How do people feel about starting with the likes of megwa and Aitken ? Is it too much to ask of them to come into a massive game like this or do we think it's worth a go. I for one would be delighted to see both in the starting 11 with a place on the bench for Laidlaw

I would agree with that. Fan/Club relations were particularly strong over that period. We came back into the top league with a new found sense of optimism and that had the fans buzzing again for a while. Sadly, it seems we've been reverting back to the old way of things since then.

good question, my kids are older teenagers so would probably quite like the standing/singing section bit...me id prefer to be sat and watch the game without the hassle i experience at away games with coked up wee fann*s

so in essence if hibs offered me seats in the east or west central id take them....im not opposed to the FFL being a singing section but if im forced to move i want a decent seat is all, i had my seat in FFL since the family section was introduced.

That’s about as reasonable an answer as anyone could give 👍🏻

I understand from the people in the FFL that they shouldn’t be forced to move but I think the club have to give the family section the boot or move it altogether if they still think it’s necessary.

That section of the ground is always on tv and is rarely full. If we had a raucous looking terrace behind that goal I feel like it would look much much better.

[truehibernian]

Why ? Sport and winning is about calculated risk and seizing unique opportunities- there’s enough experience on the pitch to guide them, add into the mix adrenalin, enthusiasm and if it clicks, a crowd getting right behind them.

What better way to make an instant name for yourself. Mixu put Paul into a cup game at 17 and he was man of the match in a 3-0 win v Caley. Outstanding performance. Seize the moment.

Ofc, but only the management team will know if they are truly ready, my problem is we just don't want another Will Fish scenario where they are just thrown in.

I get that mate, but for me, that’s what makes the cup magical and can throw up an unexpected ‘star’. Reward them, at least give them that chance - the support will back them.

[GRA]

We'd have easily beat them by 5 the last time we played them at ER if we could finish. Had about 25 shots that game. An on fire Nisbet would gobble those chances up.

Don't know when you started watching the Hibs mate.
But trust me if you think this team is bad, you should have seen them in the 80's ?

I’m strangely confident, Nisbet is hungry and on fire, we’re fresh after a week off, Hearts away record isn’t great, yes they’re playing well but a good positive start and an early goal, who knows. Hard game, they’ve got threats - nullify Snodgrass is key - Aberdeen players were literally walking as they defended last night.

I love a derby, never ever fear going into them 👍

I missed the ST deadline so had to go for the FF as barely two seats together left in the East. Just got them about an hour ago. Might sell a bit more over the weekend.

Picked up a fair bit this week. Hopefully get a bit of a rush tomorrow and Saturday. If we do it won’t end up being too far away. Reckon we’ll
End up with about 19k which I didn’t think we’d be close to when I looked last week.

Most of my best memories were the trips, the fans and the pubs before and after, and a bit of pride in the team after being robbed of a Scottish cup win in 1979.

the irony being that the fans then had far more right to feel entitled, having witnesses the Tornadoes of the early 70s, the very good Hibs side of the late 60s, and certainly the older ones would have remembered the Famous Five too.

[Since452]

Strangely starting to look forward to this now. What have we got to lose? Most have us beaten already. Nisbet only needs a sniff at goal and it's in the back of the net at the moment.

Is there a reason block 7 and the singing section didn't try and buy tickets for the FF lower, or have I completely missed it? Sunday looks like it would have been ideal for them.

I find the obsession with attendances pretty infantile but theres no use pretending some of the fan base hasnt voted with their feet.

We just need to pump them on the pitch anyway.

I think its just the perfect storm to create a poor attendance. **** team, people scunnered with Hibs and owners in general, month after Christmas and cost of living.

That being said it should still be selling out imo, it gets said to death but where have all the fans who were at the cup parade gone?

The cost of living thing is a major issue. I wish we'd talk about it more to be honest. I know teaching staff in two separate schools who say they've seen visibly hungry and badly clothed kids this year like never before. Its affecting the jambos support just as much i would have thought though. Well, apart from the badly clothed issue of course.

Yep, my days of blind loyalty are long gone. Which is as much to do with age and family life as anything, which is outwith Hibs control. However there’s also nothing to relate to with this team, or the club and no pathway for the U19s. Add in its £28 to watch two Scottish teams, and the fact we are going into the game weaker than the very low bar we started the window. More power to those that go and hope they enjoy the game, but win lose or draw I don’t feel I’m missing much or feel guilty not going.

Is there no system where genuine fans who do struggle are able to buy tickets at a subsidised price without people taking the piss. The club and hospitality is all set up for the fans who can afford it, time to look at the other end.

You're well off the mark if you think there is 75% of the tickets in the famous five that are unsold.

[madhibby]

Tickets still available:

East 63
West 697
Famous Five 1314

Total 2074

If the Famous Five capacity is around 3600 seats, I'm not sure of the exact numbers, then around 65% of the available seats in that Stand are sold.

So likely attendance will be around around 18,500 and that doesn't take into account any sales between now and kick off - probably get to around 18,800 by then?

I always forget what the "big games" are, what are they again?

Is it just Celtc, Rangers and Hearts? I had thought maybe Aberdeen tae, but we have beat them, so that cannae be a big game. Unless it doesn't count as a "big game" if they had a man sent off?

its all relative. Aberdeen’s a bigger game than Ross County. But I doubt if a thread for a cup tie against them would stretch to 30 pages two days before the match.

maybe if it was a cup final.

I'd defo give it serious consideration about moving from the east to if that became a proper organised singing section. I'm not a big fan of sittin behind the goals at home games but a proper singin section would defo befood for thought.

The main reason for not attending the derby is the fear that we will get beat, if we were playing Man City the place would be empty as there is no chance we would beat them

It will likely be a bigger crowd than could have even fitted into the stadium before the East was rebuilt, so not the end of the world. I guess we've just become a bit used to derby sell-outs post-2016 and it probably looks a lot worse because the majority of the empty seats will be in the one area.

Magennis is still struggling to get going but we have very little options in midfield this weekend. Think Cadden will play but he’s been toiling. Same with Hanlon. McGeady still getting up to speed.

I think we can field a team that can win the game but we’re going to need them to be the ones to do it because there is very little in the way of options.

Are the tickets automatically added to your season ticket card??

thanks,
steve

Yes.

Remember that’s only the case if you purchased them before the deadline for ST holders. I didn’t but booked my own seats later and am having to print off my tickets.

2,700 tickets sold (so far) in FF Stand and only 600 seats left in the West.

So much for being able to fit everybody into the East and West stands... gonna be a tight squeeze. 😏

It really should send a message to the board and owners, whether they’ll listen or care is anyone’s guess.

The thing is that they probably do listen and do care.

But this is irrelevant as going by the last couple of years Ron, his son and Kensall don't have a clue how to run a football club.

Season tickets don't count so people are choosing to sit where they want.

Going by the ticket sales, most folk seem to prefer the view from the side of the pitch, rather than behind the goals.

In which case, I don't see the problem.

[Broxburn Greens]

Andy Goram scored a pen in a shootout v clydebank on a miserable Wednesday night. Only about 3 or 4 thousand of us hardy souks there that night.

Was there, teenager at the time, was it not the first sudden death penalty and also the winner?

Will certainly be my last as in the pub at 11 tomorrow before the game

[Glory Lurker]

Right! Enough with the moaning. It'll no help us from here. We can get back to it tomorrow night if we have to. Until then....

GET RIGHT INTAE THUM, HIBEES!!!

[tamig]

so do we know why people choose not to buy a ticket there then? is it the case that people dont know you can buy a ticket without a child ?

I bought tickets there because I was too late to get my own seats in the East.

[madhibby]

Tickets still available:

West Upper 269
West Lower 195

Famous Five Upper 308
Famous Five Lower 669

East 0

Total 1441

So attendance with (say) around 200 sold on Sunday should be just over 19,000.

Hopefully a few folk wake up this morning and decide they can’t miss it. Could be doing with filling up some of the gaps in the FFL.

Better crowd that I thought we were going to get a week or so ago.

[Nutmegged]

Mon Hibs, intae them

[Yorkshire HFC]

Good luck Hibs - I'll be hoping my local sports bar in Alicante shows the game - it's got to be better than Leeds v Brentford.

Ever hopeful of a win.

[hfc-1875]

Don’t know why, but I’ve woke up right up for the game and feeling a wee bit optimistic after dreading it all week tbh. Come on the hibs!!

If you bought via the reserved tickets bit as a season ticket holder was the ticket just added to your card?

A lot better than I expected tbh, wing sections empty but at least the three central blocks downstairs are all but full. Will be busier than it usually is.

my last report on available tickets:

West Upper 242

So now around 1320 tickets available with likely actual attendance to be just over 19,000 - sales have picked up again so could well be another 300 sold before kick off.

[Broken Gnome]

I was a wee bit on the pessimistic side thinking all the cost and form factors ran the risk of a really low crowd, but we've done brilliantly to get the crowd up to those levels.

Well done everyone going.

The adrenaline is starting to flow, really looking forward to this now

Looks like tickets starting to shift faster now , looking online ..

Decent numbers considering! If/when the singing section gets moved to the FF thats when I think we will see that stand fill up for every big game. East will always take care of itself and West usually does too.
