I am one of the many who rarely goes to a game due to work commitments.

Edinburgh is also became so expensive to live in so many have had to leave and live outwith meaning geographically and traffic wise it's more of a hassle to come through on a Saturday.

Maybe we should just pack the whole thing in.

Edinburgh’s population is increasing by approximately 1 percent per year, 10 percent over 10 years. If Hibs have similar growth in attendances we should be planning ahead, for better facilities and a bigger stadium.

Does anybody have any stats on figures, such as how many fans Hearts have as opposed to us, or is it just somebody on here's opinion that they have more than us?

How much season tickets are we at now?

Dumpsters season ticket sales one season was amazing that was under Lennon.

I think we will see a return of half the south stand open to Hibs fans for next season with the good feel factor at the club, obviously Hearts will get the full stand, would be nice to cut the allocation of the Huns again like the last game of the season and even Celtic.

Hibs trend is good. In 94/95 our average was 8751, in 14/15 it was 10170 and last season it was 17082. That's almost doubled in 20 years and up significantly in the last 10. The fans are doing their part which generally means the club are doing theirs.

In which case the fact that their average attendance of home fans more often than not exceeds ours must mean your average Hearts fan is more loyal to their club than your average Hibs fan.

Can't remember who the club was ... think it was a Spanish one ... who allegedly sent a message to their fanbase asking them to have more children. Maybe Hibs should try that :greengrin

If our average attendance increases by 10% over the next 10 years then in 10 years our stadium will still be big enough, albeit a bit tight for some people getting derby tickets.

Let's see what we're looking like in six or seven years time. Until then, or until there's a number of years of continuous success, there's no need to think of expanding

What season are you talking about? I think you’ll find that winning one game rather than who was our manager had more to do with that.

This will go a long way into bringing more fan's in, Rocky signs a three year deal.
