Had this been on the Saturday afternoon I'd have fancied seeing our largest travelling support of the season making the relative short trip in numbers circa 4000 for a hugely important game against or main title rivals. The Friday night and lure of the comfort of pub/armchair will have some impact on this, but be nice to think we can still travel in decent numbers to back the team. 3000 would be excellent in circumstances.
Bit crap they aren't selling behind the goals until the stand we usually get is sold.
I'd rather sit behind the goals as the leg room in the other stand is a joke and very uncomfortable for me. Think I'll wait and see how many we shift
The view upstairs is good thoughQuote:

Half day off work though and early train through. Canny wait 🍻
It's a good atmosphere in the United main stand to be honest. If we take 2500-3000 that will make some noise and right along the side of the pitch. Every Hibs fan in attendance will give us a slight advantage and help the team. We can make this a home game by turning up in noisy numbers. Big game!
Megabus up and last train back, should be a good day out. Almost everywhere up there seems to have McEwans 80 so, my old man will be happy with what he is quaffing for a change.
I read a lot of fans complaining about the discomfort of the main stand, but Ive always enjoyed watching from there. Maybe being 5'8 eases the comfort somewhat mind you! A great view in comparison to traditional visitors areas, but behind the goals would be popular with advance sales I'm sure, and something Hibs should maybe liaise with United over if the feeling was that a good number intend making the trip.
You would think they would be selling tickets for behind the goals. Would look better on tv as most Scottish games that you see are empty stands behind the goals.

It's downhill all the way. Unless there's major delays in the game you'll make that train easily.Quote:

Excited for this, brushing the result away we played well yesterday and hopefully we will keep this run going against QOTS next week.
Hate Tannadice with a passion, one of my least favourite grounds but I'll still be there regardless.
Looking forward to this - if we win I'll be quite confident of going on to win the league.
How many tickets are in the side stand?
I was hoping they would open up behind the goals - one of the best atmospheres at an away game a few years when we filled behind the goals.
Think around 1,400 or so.Quote:

Was that the game around Christmas time?Quote:

These games could decide the title and every little bit of help counts.
It was. It was also the day the news of the Thai Tsunami was breaking.Quote:

It was 26th Boxing Day.i was waiting in Heathrow for flight to see my sis in South Africa and keeping in touch with my m8 who was at game .
Did we not take a big crowd up there when McManus scored late on to win 1-0?
Think we had just beaten hearts 6-2 IIRC
Yep can remember being behind the goal when Tam jumped into the crowd.Quote:

Remember the match in the 1990s when I think the number 4 from one team and the number 6 from the other were sent off after an altercation.
Unfortunately the referee transposed that and sent off the number 6 and the number 4 who had done nothing. Needless to say both sent off players won their appeals. Those who should have been sent off got away wih it.
