It's much more even week to week in these days of a small all seater stadium but a high number of STs. Even in the low crowd days of the 80s we could pull in 30K for a derby but you'd regularly get just a few thousand for some of the less exciting games.Quote:

The Gorgie Road end at Tynie was bigger than our Dunbar end. Both teams also got the wing stand and enclosure.Quote:

I remember being at tiny a couple of times when they had to "extend" the away end round the corner and towards the shed. Must have been 10k plus in the gorgie road end.Quote:

I can remember a 29,000 Hibs v Hearts game in the 90’s but looking back old programmes can only see a couple of 27,500 crowds in 1989.
Biggest crowd in the 90's at Easter Road was 21,657 at the derby on 2nd January 1993.Quote:

Further details on crowds at ER against Hearts.
Biggest crowd in my lifetime was the 27,219 who attended on 4th January 1989.
Last 30k plus attendance v Hearts was the 39,293 who attended on 1st January 1976.
Nope.Quote:

That Dunbar end was huge and they also had the south part of the main stand and the enclosure.
We also had a few massive supports at Tynie where it may have been around 50/50.
Point I was really making is that our support is much bigger now than it used to be.
That’s the one I’m looking at in an old programme I have from April 1989 where that game on January 4th was listed as 27,500 (probably rounded up) I was there.Quote:

The fence went up late 70s. Before that it was mixed so not really an away end...unless it was the huns..Quote:

The club send out a manual card and a digital version for your apple walletQuote:

Still no update on the assault of our player at Tynecastle.
Our ever decreasing allocation at Tynecastle (despite them getting an entire stand at ER).
The two tiered ticketing system that they've now introduced to fleece more money out of fans (diluting the value of a season ticket even further).
Their inability to deal with the empty Famous Five lower every season (Just allocate it to the Ultras and get rid of the continual experiments that result in no change whatsoever).
I'm actually concerned by the money we are currently losing, and the loans we're taking on board, as opposed to what we're spending.
That’s a decent list to be fair. 😂
I agree with a lot of this. People have been banging on about the FFL for years and now Aberdeen and Hearts are both ahead of us with their ultras directly behind the goals. We've got to have had the longest trial period for any club. Playing catch up as usual when we should have been ahead of the curve. Can't dare upset the people that sit there though. We are also far to soft of both Rangers fans behaviour and our small allocation at Tynecastle.Quote:
