Only 26 seats still available in FF Stand.
None in the rest of the home stands, except the executive seats in the West (about 70)
I always go to the Last game of the Season Have done since a Teenager Have seen some crap crowds and meaningless Drab kick about s
But considering we have in effect nothing to play for but Pride the response for this one has surpassed what I expected
Hopefully since it's sold out there will be some noise coming from it. Keep hearing it's the home of the singing at Easter road
Nice to hear we have it sold-out, be even nicer if we actually fill it. Anyway still a good effort.
Ah Bertie Auld - I am sure he was the one who first coined the phrase, "The League Cup really doesn't count!". Too depressed thinking about his era at Easter Road to look up our results in the old mini league cup fixtures that kicked off each season back then.

It wasn't exactly the greatest era for Hibs. Going by league finishes only (I know), Auld wasn't even the worst.

The worst one has to be the final game of the relegation season 1979/80.
Played on a Monday night, we were already down a couple of weeks previously. The Saturday beforehand, Aberdeen came to ER and walloped us 5-0 to take the league. Fergie running about the pitch with ER bathed in glorious May sunshine, and packed to the rafters with thousands of sheep.
Three days later, its raining, playing Partick Thistle in a complete meaningless game. So few at the match, only the West stand & enclosures were opened.
We lost 1-0 and I was one of the 1191 people who paid cash to watch it. :rolleyes:
Hows Aberdeen's sales? Assuming easily sold out since they're playing for 3rd place?
Although I wasn’t at this game it was about then that I started to go, as someone pointed out above it wasn’t the greatest time to be a Hibee but enough there to give me the bug for life and do as my Dad done in being a proud Hibee.
I was still at primary school the year we got relegated, there was a Rangers fan who stayed near us and he continually sang “relegation, relegation, relegation to the Hibs” at me, at the time I thought that it was only Hibs who got relegated but it did make my resolve stronger.

I'll tell you what, these last few posts are making me a wee bit more grateful for what we have going on at the moment.
Is it just me that finds the club announcing the east stand has sold out like it's a major achievement a bit cringey? Why not just give an update saying there's no move availability in that stand and tickets need to be purchased elsewhere? Maybe me being pedantic.
