[Garymcl]

Just done one just over 1000 seats up for grabs in the three stands let’s get these taken up and get the south stand opened asap for the first home game for the new gaffer he has already put out a message to have the ground full to back the team let’s do it :hibees

[Mark05]

Yes,coming up for the game,and the cup game against St mirren.Really looking forward to the games.Hopefully they can play like they did against killie in the first half for the full 90 minutes 👍

[04Sauzee]

Hopefully shift them by the end of the week.

[one day maybe...]

Got (3) relatives over from Canada 🇨🇦 so this will be their first ever Hibs game

Brilliant 👍

Will be coming up for this one also on Thursday, 4 night stay. Can't wait, been needing a break away for a few months.

Apparently my Dad and Grandad took my uncle (who's from Chicago) to his first ever proper football match in the late 60s when they were over here on holiday.

It was a derby match at Tynie and they said fans of both sides came over to chat to him and share a drink when they heard his accent.

He was very polite and subdued at first but, once the drinks started to flow, he was shouting at the players and ref, using quite foul language. When they asked him if he was shouting at the Hibs or Hearts players he said something like...

"who cares? It's damn good fun this soccer!"

Going by the weather forecast for Saturday looks like a lovely sunny day in Leith 🇳🇬

[Garymcl]

East nearly sold out usual with west and ff both the ends plenty seats oh well was hoping would get south opened up and getting a near full house for Monty’s first home game

[Ronniekirk]

We only really sold big numbers in the south when we have good teams or one off games

[flash]

Three full stands would be an outstanding effort.

[LaMotta]

Where are Hibs kids sitting on Saturday? They were in South last season, assuming same again?

[Tambo]

Any updates on the injuries picked up from Kilmarnock?

Hanlon to return to the starting lineup?

Never mind St Johnstone, WTF is up with the St Mirren game, the ticket sales so far with less than a week to go are shocking, so much so it took me a second to remind myself that it's the blue dots that show available seats and not the gray ones.
:confused:

I looked in at the ticket office yesterday morning as my wee gradaughter, who's now a Hibs Kid, is going to the game with me. I'm a season holder in the FF upper but wanted to change for the lower tier for Sat's game. The guy on the desk, however, told me the FF lower is sold out. Luckily there's a vacant seat beside my usual seat, so I've gone for that instead.

Don't think anyone would kid themselves to thinking it's going to be any sort of big crowd, but that's the sort of game that's never going to be much of a consideration until it's actually going the next fixture.

It's probably a bit of fixture fatigue, as it's only September and we've already had 12 competitive matches, a home friendly against Groningen... and nearly 3k fans travelled to Blackpool.

I expect the numbers will pick up a bit after the St Johnstone game, especially if we get a decent result.

You’ve been pushing this one right from the start and I can’t believe you’re surprised by it. These ties are always poorly attended by the home team.

Sales will pick up and we’ll end up with around 10k home fans I reckon. There’s just absolutely no rush or urgency for folk to get tickets.

League cup. I'd be happy with 8/9k for that one.

I totally agree but, for whatever reason, there is always a lack of interest until the final. Even our last semi final we took less than 10k.

Which was probably the best game I've been to since the 2016 final. The apathy towards the league cup is quite strange.

The League Cup is a funny one. We only really take interest once we get into the semi finals but expect to get there without much support. I personally think St Mirren is the biggest game this season.

Especially with Celtic already out, great opertunity if we get through

Definitely is. Also adds a bit more to the January coffers!

Yep but st Mirren seem to have found ways to win games Thankfully L J isn’t still in charge but a second half performance like Killie would see us in bother
But Monty will have had another game under his belt
it will be a chance for Monty to get to Hampden at first time of asking We really need to be getting back to getting there regularly

Indeed Ronnie. Consistency is the key and we need to find it for 90 mins!

We are The same he was toiling to get two together (closer to the back) in FFL on Tuesday so in West

The view of Easter Road from Arthur seat never disappoints.

Any team news?

I've never really thought of the league cup as being less important than the Scottish Cup but the SPFL haven't helped the perception that it's a lesser competition by re-introducing the league stage that starts before league season IMO and the sooner we get it back to pure knockout the better.

Totally agree that it needs to go back to pure knockout, also not a fan of the groups / associated seedings.

Reintroducing a European place for the League Cup winners would improve the wider perception too IMO, much rather that than giving it to the 5th placed side in a league of 12 !!

[04Sauzee]

At a rough count there are Just over 700 tickets available

FF 140ish

West Upper 180ish

West Lower 200ish

East 190ish

I think the European places allocation is down to UEFA, not something we can just reintroduce, unfortunately

Also removing European qualification which to be honest agree with.

It is a bit strange, but I don't know why people are surprised by the poor crowds every single goddamn season.

It literally happens every year folks you'd think you'd learn by now lol

[Carheenlea]

Is anyone really deciding not to go to the League Cup quarter final because there is no European place for the cup winners?

It doesn't go to 5th though - that only comes about through the Scottish Cup domino effect. If (as expected) we start to tumble down the coefficient table again I don't think we should be removing qualification spots from league positioning. Personally I'd be pretty raging if we finished 3rd but didn't get europe because Hearts and Aberdeen won the cups. I guess you could argue Rangers and Celtic would win the League Cup anyway. But if so, what's the point?

[Musselbound]

Yeah I'd imagine getting a ticket for the semi would be pretty straightforward if we get there too.

[Cat Stanton]

A good performance today will shift a few for Wednesday, I'm sure.

[Ringothedog]

605 left for today in the 3 home stands

It’s been 4 weeks since we’ve had a game at Easter Road, so really looking forward to getting back to see the start of hopefully more prosperous times under the new manager.

When was European qualification removed? I didn't realise it ever had it

[Hibbyradge]

When was European qualification removed? I didn't realise it ever had it

I'm not sure when it was removed, but we qualified for Europe on the back of the 91 League Cup win.

Edit: I found this;

The final example was Raith Rovers who represented Scotland in the 1995–96 UEFA Cup after winning the League Cup the previous season as a First Division club.

[Ringothedog]

When was European qualification removed? I didn't realise it ever had it

It was removed in 1995, Raith Rovers were the last team to qualify that way

I remember that feeling like an issue but that was at least 25 years ago.

Folk have surely long made their peace with this fact?

Feels like its been ages since the last home game, can't wait

If we get to Hsmodrn there will be plenty of tickets available. We never sold out our last league cup final against Celtic. I just don't get this Uber fan nonsense.

[JHFC]

I know it's short notice but I have 2 spare tickets (1 x adult, 1 x u13s) looking to give them away for free, as we can't make it anymore. Drop me a pm and I can send them over in an email.
