Tiny stadium capacity

[Donegal Hibby]

Listening to the hertz commentator last night after the game he made a comment about 17,000 hertz fans being at the game , add what we took there and it seems he was claiming they had 20 thousand or more .

It certainly seems to be one of life's great mysteries like the Bermuda triangle or the lost city of Atlantis in nobody knows how it's at all possible.🤔

He was told to include the...um...family get togethers in the hotel rooms. There's a rock solid reason those rooms don't have windows...

Pretty consistent number and seem to recall what their declared official capacity to the Council is.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240229/92feb6a38b38b6b057852bdee64ce449.jpg

Hearts are too embarrassed to release their official capacity as they know it’s smaller than ours. We define them.

They started work on their main stand in 2017. A one tier stand. It’s still not finished.

In that time Tottenham Hotspur demolished White Hart Lane, spent over a billion pounds building a new one, have played a few seasons in it and even found time to accommodate me on a tour.

2017. Seven years. Costing over double the budgeted amount. Budge’s Hibernian supporting family member is one very rich man now. Pleasing.

Must have been 100 or so seats blocked off in the bottom of the corners of the Roseburn stand though. Which just about gets them to 19k.

You forget they count bodies in the stadium not erses on seats watching the match. These are the Season Ticket waiting list Ultras that sit under the stands week after week watching the game by listening to Radio Scotland.

I was told this by a Jambo ST holder who I used to work with who sits in that stand.

To think though. We have room to expand and take our already super stadium to another level. Mind you the do have the bestest, bigliest most modern changing rooms in all of world football.

[percy veer]

Not biased but I was in the upper row at tynie on Wednesday and even my son said tyncastle looks much smaller than hibs stadium , and it does no wat that is just under 20,000 closer to 18,000 I would say.

What you need to take in to consideration though is that the Tiny seats are tiny so they squash more in to the available space. Our stadium is miles ahead of theirs, and always will be.

Because it seems to really bother them that we do which is why they feel the need to imply that they get a mythical 20,000 at tiny even though everyone knows that its not possible , why they persist with it just goes to show how much it does annoy them our grounds got a bigger capacity . :smug:

There is anecdotal evidence that crowds (like yesterdays) are actually lower for matches against Rangers and Celtic, and many ST holders dont bother to turn up.

STs are counted anyway, whether they are in the seat or not.

Its not too difficult to work out the reasons, especially if you have kids etc - away fans of these teams are poisonous.

In addition to ST holders not turning up they’ve also given them half a stand and not sold the other half as intended.

James Anderson presumably makes up the shortfall.

Hearts fans have said that you needed 15 loyalty points (dont ask me how it works for them) to buy a ticket in the Roseburn yesterday.

This appears to have been in order to stop the casual Celtic fan buying a ticket. It also had the unintended consequence of stopping most non-regular Hearts fans buying a ticket for this one.

What it does do - also - is shine a light on the lie that they have several thousand on some waiting list for STs.
If that were the case, you would assume that these people - desperate to watch the mighty hawrts - would have been to enough walk up matches to accumulate the requisite loyalty points?

I never believe a word that comes out of Budge Towers these days.

Yeah. I think they do a "derby not included" ST for the Roseburn. Demand for that obviously not massive based on yesterday's pictures.

I think the sections they block access to in the lower corners of the Roseburn during derby games has decreased the capacity by a few hundred.

They also have a large number of empty seats in non-derby games, as a segregation area between home and away fans.

I wonder how long the Budge fantasy will continue before the penny drops and they realise they've actually built a crappy hotel, with crappy room without windows in one of the crappiest main streets (green tinted specs off here, Gorgie Rd is an absolute s+#thole) in Edinburgh?

The hubris and vanity of that club is neverending. Budge's bowling club mentality and parochial view of life could not be a better fit for them.

The weekend of the Scotland V England Rugby they charged £710 for 2 nights. To put that into perspective the Sheraton (£440) and Waldorf Astoria (£600) were both a lot cheaper.

One of their trip advisor reviews, amidst all the fawning fan ones, says the Aircon wasn't working, which in a modern insulated windowless building is a fatal flaw. So when the temperature goes up, everyone bangs on their Aircon to the max, and it inevitably can't cope, that's when the fun will begin. It'll be like sleeping in a sauna. Except some saunas have windows.

Yes, every hotel (or 99% anyway) will have dynamic pricing based on predicted demand. Same as airlines.

Prices in town will be inflated given the crowd etc. believe it’s 7/8/9 June. As it stands they’ve only finished 12/13 rooms so these dates being sold out will maybe cover some of the midweek loses to date. Loads of availability on most weekday dates.

Are you sure? I've just went onto their Hotel Website (which is amateur hour) and it let me add over 20 rooms to a random midweek night in April. Surely they've not opened half a hotel with building works going on whilst guests stay? And surely that would have been picked up by these media reports?
