We sold out Kelty, so might there be more Hibs fans at Kelty on Saturday than inside Easter Road tonight?

Pretty bleak looking numbers so far anyway..

I just went on to get a couple of tickets just now and was surprised at how few have sold.

I get it's a holiday time of year, an expensive time of year for families and hardly a glamour game so I'm not criticisng anyone, just expected the usual 6-8K that we get for LC games but it looks miles short of even that.

Hibs have just sent a message on the Whatsapp channel asking 'where are you watching tonight' with a poll. Clearly trying to see if they can expect some last minute purchases.

Watford seems to have more tickets taken (though free for ST).

Peterhead will be lower than tonight I imagine looking at the sales.

If the club had signed some attacking players and it was £10 max it maybe would have enticed a few more along.

There has been nothing so far this summer to get the fans excited. We've signed a couple of centre halfs but we really need a few more exciting signings. I bought a ticket but wasnt overly fussed, I'm only going because my old man wants to go.

They are saying due to Hibs poor performances last season and lack of big name signings is probably why fans are not attending tonight.

There will be loads of factors but truth is these games don’t hold much appeal to many at this time of year.

Should be a tad cheaper

In the middle of a cost of living crisis and the match is live on Premier Sports and it is school holiday time so fans with young families have other priorities

But hey we have a marquee signing still to pay for and should be an interesting competitive game and a stiff test for our new regime

These group stages just haven't caught on (at least for clubs like us) There's just no excitement around them (they barely even get a mention in the media), they start far too early and we're playing teams that don't exactly get the juices flowing. It might sound harsh but it's true.

Definitely. £15 (£10 for ST holders) with free for kids would have been a smarter more encouraging price for these games.

Regardless, we'll be there and looking forward to it. Hope we get a few walk-ups

The group with Dunfermilne, Spartans, Livi etc in it came to an agreement that no one would charge more than £12 for adults. That seems a sensible approach.

I'm not sure if there is anything preventing it but maybe the SPFL stepping in and setting across the board pricing for the LC group stages would be an idea.

I never really get the chat about it being a pre season game. It’s no, we need to win these games to or we blow one of our two chances of winning something.

It’s no an attractive fixture, should probably be a few quid cheaper but it’s just no a pre season game at all!

The group games are much better than us playing friendlies and I enjoyed Saturday and will be going to Kelty but as soon as this was announced for the telly that pretty much made my decision not to bother with tonight. The reality is that a lot of people seem to not bother with the league cup as shown by us struggling to get 10k for a QF last season. Crazy considering it’s one of the only two trophies we’ll ever have a chance of winning

It’s really not - quite the opposite !

Last year we are playing Aston Villa - this season it’s Peterhead and Elgin etc.

The club had a shocker of a season last year - the players and club need to do a little more to grow the support again. A few new attacking players would help also - needs more than a 5-0 win against some Elgin part time players.

That doesn't nearly cover the increase of about 60% from the 80s 90s and most of 2000s. Don't think hibs fans realise how much the Scottish changed our fortunes and narrative. Shows people go in and out of the habit though and we need to protect the numbers. We did the exact opposite last year and if we don't change things it's easy for fans to go out of the habit.

I honestly don’t think pricing it a few quid cheaper would have made much difference. There is just a lack of interest and folk are still scunnered. Our away support will hold up well. Kelty is sold out, St Mirren will sell out quickly when it’s on sale. But it’s going to take a seriously good start to the season to get bodies back through the door at home. Hopefully it happens as, particularly with SDG in charge, it has the potential to build quickly.

Scottish football probably needs a rethink about how it does market these games - could have done £12 across the group stages ?

All crowds will be low and the timing of the year and bigger clubs not really arsed about playing smaller clubs also an issue.

You are correct here. The marketing and TV deals are poor. Clubs could really work together on a lot of this stuff to improve the product but I don’t see it happening. Everyone just interested in themselves.

It’s not even great for the smaller teams. Slight increase in gates, but where a tie against a bigger team in the Scottish Cup gives them a chance of upsetting the applecart and knocking out a big team and progressing, even an unlikely victory means they will still likely need to beat another team higher up the pyramid to progress, making it still unlikely.


I’m not sure anyone gets anything significant out of it and if you wanted to go to all the league stage games it won’t be a cheap couple of weeks.

It's weird because none of those things crossed mine or my dad's mind. We support Hibs, so we go. That's it.

Fans are fickle.

We'll always have a hardcore who will go, rain or shine, rich or poor, in sickness or in health etc.

Then we'll have those who might go if certain conditions are met.

I used to be in the first group, I've since slipped into the second.

Tonight - I might yet go. If it wasn't on Premier Sports I'd have definitely gone, but working right up to kick off, keeping the computer open and switching over at kick off time all whilst saving myself £18 is pretty tempting.

We're winning this competition this season so would be nice to see every game on our glorious run.

Price

Should be a tad cheaper

In the middle of a cost of living crisis and the match is live on Premier Sports and it is school holiday time so fans with young families have other priorities

But hey we have a marquee signing still to pay for and should be an interesting competitive game and a stiff test for our new regime

Cost of living crisis is over. The last PM told us that just before he called an election 🤭

Finances are a perfectly good reason, though. I don't make as many away games for that reason now.

"We were rubbish last season" is a pile of pish excuse imo.

I can’t blame people for feeling completely apathetic about the club though. The club can’t take support for granted, if people keep being let down by the club and they feel like they’re being milked for money, eventually they will give up.

I’m a fan of my local Greek restaurant and am happy to spend money there. If the food was bad on a one off occasion I would think nothing of it. If it were to be consistently bad then I’d stop going. Football is a business like any other and after two or three seasons of dross I can’t blame anyone for their support wavering, especially given how you could perceive the way that gripes have been dealt with.

It's the first home game of the season. If you can go, why wouldn't you?

It's a Tuesday Night against Watford and it's pishing down.

They have played one competitive game, which incidentally they won. What more do you want?

Not too bad for a Tuesday on TV in the league cup groups. Keep playing like that and we'll have a decent crowd next season

£52 for 2 season ticket holders and 2 kids, we were there but that’s a ridiculous price to pay for a game at this stage of the competition. We really should be letting in under 16s for free with a paying adult in these games, great opportunity to get more kids interested missed.

The sort of attendance a lot of or rivals would love on a Saturday, some who finished above us last season.

Don’t mind the club making some money (bit forethought it could have been more) but to me this is just ripping off fans, especially ST holders

Yeah, that was very enjoyable. Gave me confidence that we have competent individuals in our football department and playing staff.

Once we were consigned to bottom 6 it might have been an idea to add £20 onto the ST’s to give ST holders access at heavier reduced prices.

Get top 6 this season then they could have run with a reduction or price freeze for next season’s promotional campaign.

(*Edit - I’m sure the ST’s maybe went on sale before the Fir Park debacle, so maybe not the most practice of suggestions.)
