To Jambos Kickback this is how we are feeling tonight

[Bostonhibby]

You've got to admit they are once again miles ahead of everyone else and not afraid to let all the lesser beings know it.

Who else would have thought of dropping a coach party off "near" their destination and felt the need to publicise that part of the whole grift?

The rest of us will probably never enjoy the unique experience of being emptied out in a field or street nearly at the venue.

Windaes will be optional, taking into account the licking needs of our customers.

In further news, the bus will be anointed with a plastic owl decal reclaimed in tribute to the fine old atmospheric Archibald Leach designed stadium.

Pickups and drop offs round the back of the Rover showroom next to the bungalows at Ratho.

A flailing attempt at justifying the £48 bus fare.

“The club was eager to create a match package for our Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen at Hampden that would deliver a hassle-free experience for our supporters, in terms of providing a match ticket, easy access to transport for a return journey and close proximity to the National Stadium for drop off and collection.

Many factors came into play when deciding a price point for the package, which includes VAT, but the overriding one was the cost of hiring suitable transport, and in numbers that would cater for the anticipated demand. Coach hire is, unfortunately, expensive and while it is prudent to price such a package to not operate at a loss, our supporters should know that ‘profit’ generated will be absolutely minimal due to our desire to keep costs down as much as reasonably possible.

“While uptake of the package has been high, we acknowledge the sentiment of sections of our fanbase and we will use that feedback to form future offerings, hopefully in repeat visits to Hampden.”

A combination of getting dropped off near Hampden, coach hire being a bit expensive and don’t forget, the price is inclusive of VAT.



Why is there a need for any profit to be made?


How is it costing them £48 a head to go to hampden, but Hibs managed to arrange buses to parkhead for £20 each, and Aberdeen with a much longer distance are able to get it done for £25?


Maybe these are special buses designed to also carry the patented ‘tynecastle atmosphere’ as well as the not-ripped-off-at-all fans

[Paulie Walnuts]

'We've priced the bus as low as we possibly can, there's absolutely no way it could be done cheaper, but because you've spotted us we'll make it cheaper next time'

Had to laugh at that.

I swear profit will be minimal but now that we’ve been caught we’ll magically manage to make it cheaper next time whilst not making a loss.

Also, inclusive of VAT :faf: hate when I get on a supporters bus and I’m hit with an unexpected VAT bill.

[Jones28]

Minimal profit...£78 bus ticket...Hibs and Aberdeen doing it for £25...:rolleyes:

To be fair to them, they're clearly making the bigliest profit out of the 3 of us.

I believe they're hiring the buses from Ryanair.

I can't believe the amount of condescending replies to the fantastic offer our neighbours have got from their hierarchy. Surely you would not expect them to publish the real cost added into ticket of cleaning and fumigating the buses / shampooing the seat stains, as well as internal window cleaning to remove bodily fluids from 3 hours of incessant licking.
So it's quite reasonable to have made up some perks - like 'being dropped near venue'- to cover the shame that would otherwise be exposed

They admittedly got their act together since 2021 when they were promoted again but it's the least they should expect with the donations and FOH money. They're in a battle to make top 6 this season and they have, generally, been poor over the last decade. A couple of third place finishes and no trophies is a poor return for what must be £10 to 20 million of free cash that has poured in to them. Especially when Hibs, Ross County, Inverness, St Johnstone etc have all won something in that time.

Since 2012 they’ve had in the region of £60-70 million quid of donations (other folks money) and a couple of relegations, 3rds and finals is all they’ve got to show for its. No wait a £25 million single tiered restricted view stand and a windowless struggling hotel.

I am also led to believe that last season they needed a further £3 million donation to make them a £150k profit or there abouts.

The odds are they beat Dundee Utd at home as I expect us to beat the same team at home post split.
They should beat Motherwell away and we should beat Dundee at home.
I will look at who is available for both teams before predicting our game against Rangers.

The two Rangers players who have given us problems this season have been Cerny and Igamane with the former the main source of the latters chances.
The potential good news is that Cerny was injured on international duty and missed yesterdays game because of it and is 50/50 for our game. His absense could be the break we need to get a result at Ibroke.

All hotels in Edinburgh will be cashing it in when there is an event on.

Start of Feb my wife had a works doo in Edinburgh and it was also a rugby weekend. I stayed a the Sheraton B and B for £160 for the night whilst they were charging £240.

It’s all well and good selling out on a Friday and Saturday night but there’s always availability midweek and at more than your average city centre hotel.

It’s also strange how they’ve never ever mentioned it at all. Knowing them they’d be shouting from the roof tops how great it’s been doing.

Not wishful thinking but reality. I’m sure someone on hear previously mentioned they’d need to sell out every day to make any sort of profit that would make any sort of difference.

It's been said a lot on here, but that's not really the case.

The donations are part of their budget. If they don't get them, they can't spend as much money (they have no overdraft facility AFAIK).

So, if they don't have a guaranteed donation income of £4.5m, they have to reduce their expenditure by that same amount, and the profit remains the same.

CWG, as always I appreciate your input etc when it comes to finance but I am sure I read that they managed to obtain further donations from Bennys as they don’t get group stage European football and had already budgeted for it. Hence my comment above.

Btw I wasn’t trying to be arsey or smart.

My only info is the availability of rooms
Most days which won’t be good for them.

If think it’s very hard for hotels at the best of times but given its location and price I’m not sure folk will be rushing to book it up.

Did I miss something and they just switched this Semi to be the Final?

Have they told Celtc and St Johnstone?

[PHeffernan]

You'd imagine if there's any doubt over Cerny he'll be kept back for the game against Bilbao on the Thursday.

Yeah, I think that will happen. He's a great player and his absense really increases our chances of taking something.
If Ferguson has any brains, which is obviously questionable, he would be resting other key players by putting them on the bench.
They can't afford an injury to Souttar and guys like Raskin will have to run and run against Bilbao so why would you play them in a meaningless league game given they are locked in 2nd and Europe could fill the coffers.

Its the hotel prices that stop me coming back for a lot of games (mind you, flights are also difficult to predict) I can get return flight to Edinburgh cheaper than the price of a hotel.Didnt used to he the case.
Our friends got us a night in the Balmoral for £240 for our anniversary a couple of years back, that same room is now £736, unbelievable. They can ask what they want, Edinburghs overcrowded and over priced 😢. Maybe I need to take more games in Glasgow in.
If hertz make their hotel competitive prices folk will use it, of course I wont.

Was just speaking to mrs about it as its our 25th in May and looking for somewhere special. Before covid you get good deals for DBB in the like of old course St Andrews for about 200, well over 700 now! They put prices up after covid to claw money back but just kept the inflated prices as if it was the norm!! I could go the canaries for a week instead of 2 nights here!!

What was even more fabulous about the 1964/65 season choke was that they were at home to the title rivals Kilmarnock on the last day of the season. Some people may not know this, but incredibly Hearts could afford to even lose 1-0 on the last day to Killie and they would have taken the title on goal average.

2-0 to Kilmarnock and the title goes to Ayrshire, and that’s what the final score was.

Footnote that sadly Hibs lost the 1952/53 title on GA to Rangers to prevent 3 in a row to Hibs. We would also have taken the tile on goal difference.

"Even allowing for the extraordinary, mind numbing levels of sheer idiocy and all round football ignorance far too frequently observed on these pages, surely no one know doesn’t get that the current structure of this once proud football club is completely done for? It starts at the top. Get the wee numptie wummin out tonight. I’m in a generous mood to only describe her like that. Then round up the entire board and take them out the back. Put any FoH creatures involved in this biblical level humiliation in a sewer somewhere never, ever to be allowed anywhere near tynie again let alone have anything to do with the running of the place. Refuse season ticket sales to any and all fans who refuse despite a universe sized body of evidence to the contrary to accept that every single aspect of this club needs changing.


Then there is the manager. He’s had enough time. He’s had enough money. He’s had enough of everything. He is hapless at absolute best. A coward of an individual and a deluded one at that. Put him in the boot of a car and drive him somewhere, let him out, scare the living daylights out of him and then let him go to walk around on his own for days on end without any idea where he is or where he is going as that seems entirely apt.



As for the players, there are not words in the English language to describe my unrelenting hatred towards them. I’ll leave it there.


You banal dimwitted idiots on here who supported this farce and charade for far, far, far too long have brought us to this. Our knees. The nadir. We as a club deserve our fate because of imbeciles like you.

I would have preferred Hearts or Motherwell to get into the top six as they would have been almost a guaranteed 3 points whereas St Mirren will be a much tougher opponent.

I think what we all fail to miss is that having 5 really competitive bottom 6 games in the league is part of a cunning plan to be "battle ready" for the Scottish Cup final !!

Yes. And anyway, we are quite tough opponents for any team in our league, as we’ve shown for four months or so now. Let’s get behind them now big style. Wish it was tomorrow already. Wont be an easy game, and Dundee have huge incentive too. Can’t wait !! Good to have a good Hibs again to support just now, top of the rollercoaster Hibee ride, so let’s enjoy and get behind what’s happening for us now :)

But still, it was a reply to your point of being glad we don’t have to play them again this season. I was going to ask why you thought that too, as there was no reason to worry about playing them in the top six at all.

[cubehindthegoal]

Luckiest team in Scotland according to over the road Bollah - those puddles they drink from are clearly laced with acid.

Yeh … months and months of luck now. When will it end 😝

The better we play, the luckier we get (think that was a golfer who said something like that once). Fun being a Hibbie just now … calling us lucky is them trying to disguise the lack of fun they are having just now. Wait til they are out of the running for the cup, meltdown and sacked manager looms.

oh to be 😊

ps … though they’ll have the best analytics again to find another prize manager … thank goodness 😁
