[essexhibee]

Travelling up from Essex for the game flying into Edinburgh on the Sat morning. Intending to get the train over to Hampden.

Is there a hibs friendly pub near the ground anyone knows of? Or will most be heading straight to the stadium? Usually we drive over.

[Garymcl]

Probably the Montford outside the ground at our end always jumping when we go through get there reasonably sharp as they usually have queuing system nearer kick off time always good atmosphere though:flag:

Will the Hibs v Aberdeen semi final game be shown live on Hibs tv?

There are maybe 100/150 seats left in the Main Stand that are bunched together, are they maybe trying to encourage folk to buy them before opening up G3

Wouldn’t have thought so as you can’t get a concession ticket in the South. Next section will be open today I would guess

[Garymcl]

Surely G3 will be opened today I know a few people still to purchase for one reason or another

[GreenCastle]

Think they will have to open another section soon as right now kids can't go unless they buy a more expensive ticket.

The South lower tickets are taking a while to sell - hopefully get them sold too to fill the section.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this will be our largest league cup semi final crowd for a long time?

They could open G8 and G7 and fill those blocks as G3 seems a much bigger area to fill.

Positive result tomorrow on the back of showing the fight we did at the weekend, as well as payday for a lot of folk, and I reckon we’ll shift most, if not all of G3.

We've sold three stands at Tynecastle on a couple of occasions for LC semis back when they had the wooden main stand. Probably would have been around 14k between the three stands. I think this will be our biggest LC semi crowd ever. Certainly in the last 30 years.

There was 19,024 at Tynie in 1993 when we beat Dundee United. United only had the away end and it wasn't packed so think there could have been about 15k Hibs fans that night.

St Johnstone semi in 2007 had just over 16k crowd with over 3k Saints fans. 2016 game had 16,900 with over 3k Saints fans, so think this weekend will be biggest since 93, if not bigger.

[LaMotta]

In terms of non "Old-Firm" LC semis, Aberdeen v Dundee United at Hamden in 2015 had 29,608 there, which was pretty good and I don't think has been bettered since LC semis became one off games.

Dundee United 2-1 Aberdeen - BBC Sport (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30963450)

Be good if it ended up bigger than that, although as long as we win that's all that matters!

[Pretty Boy]

It's been a great effort from both Hibs and Aberdeen fans considering LC semi finals are traditionally not that well attended.

Really looking forward to it now.

[Stuart93]

Anyone any ideas how much we’ve sold so far

I asked in the ticket office last week and they said just under 14K, that was when there was still the majority of G2 to sell so I'd guess at just over 14K now. I think we'll be close to 15K come kick off on Saturday.

[Since452]

I wonder how many Aberdeen fans will be handing their tickets back? :greengrin

Don’t care about them agree think it’s 50/50 reasonably confident important we the fans turn up big numbers (which we have ) but more importantly get right behind the team and support the team for 90 mins + looking forward to another good day out at Hampden pre match sing song in the boozer and all that :flag:

It will be a tough game but they have been crap ever since Robson got the gig full time. This is a great opportunity for us, it’ll be a really sore one if we don’t take advantage. Extra day of rest for us going in to it as well with them playing on Wednesday.

I agree. I'm too long in the Hibs tooth to even be confident never mind take anything for granted.

However, they've got a tough game away to Motherwell on Wednesday so they'll have a day's less recovery than us which could be work our favour.

Most Dons fans I know think AFC-chat is full of roasters. I wouldnt pay it any attention.

On their day they are very decent, they beat Rangers at Ibrox.

On our day we are very decent too - we beat them at Pittodrie.

Its a very even match imo, bookies have us as very marginal favourites.

873 tickets now available

Beat Rangers at Ibrox recently also were 2 up v Paok and also played well in Frankfurt. They are decent on their day and probably have stronger squad than we do.

This tie is as 50/50 as it gets with both teams equally as likely to be awful or excellent.

Having said that i think we would all bite your hand off for a 50/50 chance of getting to a Cup Final.

[Donegal Hibby]

I'd have thought we'd be slight favourites for this one as to the two squads I honestly think our first 11 is better than there's , honestly wouldn't swap our first 11 for theres . Will probably be a tight game though .

[Garymcl]

Agree it’s about 50/50 but personally I’m very confident I don’t know what it is not normally like this could go anyway on the day let’s just turn in big numbers and more importantly make our presence heard loud an clear throughout the game that could genuinely be the difference on the day

[Mcbizz1998]

Never confident with Hibs at Hampden but I think we should be winning this game. We have an 8-0 aggregate score against them the last 3 games, it seems to me the players like playing them, you would imagine their players are the opposite.

Could go either way but I will be very disappointed if we don’t win, would represent Monty’s first truly bad result.

I see from their chat site that the last 20 league games where theyve conceded first....they've lost. Vitally important we score first.... fans will turn against them quickly

Hopefully their game with Motherwell goes ahead tomorrow. The forecast looks like torrential rain all day through there. Hopefully it does and it's an energy sapper on a bog of a pitch.

Motherwells pitch has a significant slope touchline enclosure towards the main stand, as long as they plonk a few flood barriers down and give the fans in that stand lifejackets the pitch should be fine

Not now they don’t, they’ve spent a lot of money on their pitch in the last year or soYeah they put in a hybrid pitch

“As a part of that rebuilding process, we also plan to reduce the slope of the pitch, which runs from the Cooper/Hunter Stand corner at its highest point, to the McLean/O’Donnell Stand corner at its lowest, by half of what it is now.

I get the stuff about planning ahead for policing and stewarding and also the issues that used to arise with cash gates and missing money. However having no facility to buy tickets on the day, particularly relevant to away fans, is just crazy. Loads of times in the past I have decided on the day to attend a game I maybe hadn't planned to for reasoning ranging from other plans changing to simply because the weather is nice.

You can watch a huge number of lower leagues clubs right throughout the pyramid using a completely online and contactless system in Fanbase yet for a national semi final we are still working with 100% paper tickets and you have Premiership games at which you can't buy a ticket on the day of the game. I don't believe etickets are beyond the SPFL or a contactless gate is beyond the clubs.

They couldn’t even buy them online as they weren’t on the database. My mate bought some for them. I told them the reasoning and made them even more bemused. They couldn’t fathom away fans trying to sit in the home end. They wouldn’t get out alive in Germany by all account lol

Been to a few Dortmund games and watched many on TV, there are Dortmund fans in the home sections at every game I have attended/watched. The distinctive yellow scarves make them very easy to spot.

Only game they avoid (sitting in home sections) I believe is Schalke as there is bad blood.

German football fans appear to be more accepting of a home fan taking an away fan with him/her to the game. I expect the Ultras are less accepting.

You sure?

They would've been bemused as German fans can mix at most games so segregation isn't a problem...

The only exception is generally behind the goals in the Ultras/fanatics section, and every game I've attended in Germany usually states no opposing fans in these ends but other than that, mixing isn't a problem in Germany.

I guess Scotland is quite unique in that we have 2 clubs with some of the largest home and away supporters on the planet, with very short travelling distances so does create a potential problem. Rangers SLO sometimes releases the amount of applicants they have for away tickets and it can be 15,000 - 20,000 applying for a standard away game. I'd be surprised if there's any other clubs in Europe out with Celtic, Liverpool, Man Utd and maybe the odd Munich or Dortmund game with that level of demand for away matches.

That's been my experience as well.

Any away fans in the home sections are mostly in the areas right next to the away end, but still mixing with home fans.

I know it’s early in the season but a defeat tomorrow will really just start to put a real downer on things.

We’ve been dealt a good hand this season. Injuries have been fairly kind to us, fixtures were very kind to us to begin the season and we’ve not delivered. We really need to change that this weekend.

Ok, too bad. I'll just pay the subscription.

Don't want to be a downer but that mid-week result has really knocked the stuffing out of me for this one.

Maybe a couple of beers tomorrow will sort it!

I'm the same. A trip to Hampden normally really excites me (especially as I live five minutes from the stadium!) but right now I feel a bit flat about tomorrow. I'm sure a beer with my mates will perk me up and I'll get in the mood.

It's a tough game to call. We are more than capable of winning, but it could be a slog.

Bunch of betwetters on here as usual

We're only marginal favourites according to the bookies which seems very accurate to me?

Struggle to see how you could argue Aberdeen should be favourites, they're hardly in the best run of form themselves

[Spike Mandela]

It’s a game we can win and equally it’s a game we could lose.

Get along, support the team and enjoy the game. If the team turns up and we get the breaks and the goals we will do it and be back at Hampden in December. If not, well, them’s the breaks.

Two evenly matched teams with up and down form. Could be a classic.

Whos bedwetting? All I said was the midweek result knocked the stuffing out of me, not that I thought we were going to lose.

[JimBHibees]

Aberdeen were good Wednesday however defensively average. First goal is huge. Boyler usually turns up v sheep and he will tomorrow :flag:

[Hibernian Verse]

Boyler has dusted off his hat-trick boots.

People saying they really can't see the logic in us being very slight favourites

Who's bedwetting? I just said I feel a bit flat, as it's unusual for me to feel that way before a trip to Hampden.

Like I also said, I'm sure I'll feel differently tomorrow, and hopefully the team can turn up in what's probably our biggest game since the 2022 SC semi against Hearts.

[LaMotta]

We are more than slight favourites according to the bookies.

You can get Aberdeen for 21/10 on Bet 365, whilst Hibs are as short as 6/5 on William Hill.

I think most people with an interest in Scottish football would see this as a 50/50 so its a surprise to me that the odds arent tighter.

Obviously I hope the bookies are correct:greengrin

It's a very tough one to call, isn't it?

[Keith_M]

I'm usually quite excited going to games at Hampden but seen so many disappointments there over the years, and I think it's starting to affect my levels of enthusiasm

Maybe if we hadn't had such a poor start to the season I would be more excited this time.


I'll just go and change my sheets now...

[Pretty Boy]

I always go into a day at Hampden determined to enjoy it. More often than not the football puts paid to that but a few hours spent with friends and family, enjoying a drink and letting the excitement build is always enjoyable.

I worry about the football when it starts, until that point I always try to enjoy the day and I'm always excited for it pretty much regardless of form or our chances of winning.

[Hiber-nation]

No excitement here but that's the way it's been for me since it all went pear-shaped at the beginning of 2019-20. So many false dawns. Can't not go though!

[Mcbizz1998]

We will win I think. Don’t get the negativity. Aberdeen are ****.

[nickwhibs]

Bring it on. Love these games, regardless of form. As PB says, just enjoy the day - the result will take care of itself. It’ll be a tough game but I’m quietly confident

[badabing67]

Totally we are due a win there against them now is the time

Can’t wait for tomorrow. Boyle and Youan can really stretch them if they get in behind them. If Vente can drop back when required to the midfield, we can win this. 2 in the middle could cause us problems, but if Vente is dropping back when needed, we will be ok. He nullified Calum McGregor against Celtic, and could do the same with Shinnie. If Boyle and Youan are stretching them, he can still get involved at the business end too.

I really like Montgomery and his team. He has made mistakes, substitutions midweek were awful, but he learned after the Rangers game, and we looked a different prospect against Celtic.

Bring on the Sheep! GGTTH #buzzing

[California-Hibs]

Not sure if I've missed it but how many tickets did we end up selling for tomorrow?

[Juice-Terry]

Not sure if I've missed it but how many tickets did we end up selling for tomorrow?

About 15K - according to the interview with NM.

[GreenCastle]

Noticed Aberdeen trained at lesser Hampden today.

Expecting a really close game tomorrow.

Hibs fans really need to get behind the team vocally and be the difference.

[Brooster]

:agree:

I know it’s early in the season but a defeat tomorrow will really just start to put a real downer on things.

We’ve been dealt a good hand this season. Injuries have been fairly kind to us, fixtures were very kind to us to begin the season and we’ve not delivered. We really need to change that this weekend.

Honestly mate, pack it in eh. Absolute constant boredom from you.

[Jdawg]

Can folk not just go out and enjoy a trip and game at Hampden. Could give a toss about our current form. This is Hibs. Look at the 3-1 semi against rangers.

[Paulie Walnuts]

I’ll post what I like thanks.

Agreed! I’m going along with two of my grandchildren attending their first ever game. I may not even see all of the game if three year old granddaughter decided she’s not happy but I’m sure as hell going to enjoy the day.

C’mon the Hibees !!!

[CentreLine]

I’ll post what I like thanks. The irony of you calling other folks boring is pretty funny.

And you’re entitled to, fill yer boots. I have to admit there are times I’m tempted to put you on ignore as you do come over quite depressed. I sincerely hope that’s not the case but you certainly don’t need permission from me or any other poster to have your say on a public forum.

[Dublin07]

This is hibs at hampden. You need to enjoy your day with your family and/or mates no matter what happens. I have seen us lose to livi, Ross county, Falkirk and Ayr but beat rangers 4 times! You just never know what will happen! For some reason I have a good feeling today. I think we now suit playing against teams with 5 at the back since Monty came in.

[Brightside]

Those feeling are the same every fan has outside of the old firm. You go to these games thinking there is a strong chance we will lose as history shows that. Just buckle in and enjoy it.

[StockbridgeGoat]

Quietly confident this morning.

[Since452]

Come on Hibs. In to these mutton touching nippy accent fit like, stuck in the 80's, oil working weirdos. 8-0 on aggregate over the last 3 games. Get them pumped again.

Same for me enjoy the day and whatever the score line I will still enjoy supporting the best club on the planet.

What happened to oil running out weirdos?....thought that was quite funny:agree:

I’m not depressed at all. If Hibs are doing well than my posts on a Hibs forum will be positive. If Hibs are doing poorly as we have been now for a long time, then I’m not going to dress it up and pretend all is glorious.


That being said, there’s not a lot between the two sides so fingers crossed for a result, we could certainly do with one!

[NYHibby]

Did anyone else almost get caught out by the 8:20 train from London being cancelled? I managed to catch the 7:30 one after a mad scramble to get to Euston. There seems to be more Aberdeen fans on the train.

[Brightside]

Add him to ignore. If you add 4 or 5 it’s like a whole new forum.

Yup, that’s the train that’s cancelled ( Wigan) having to ****ing drive up now!

We've got a good record against them there I'm sure? They beat us last time at Hampden but we won the two before that (I think).

We've only beat them there once in my lifetime (2012) and I wish we hadn't.

3hr delay for us down here at Stansted. Now glad it’s a 5pm KO!

On the train, on the way up from the Borders. Hibees, Hibees, Hibees! 💚
