Attendance (merged)

**Dashing Bob S** · 05-12-2009 05:44 PM

10398 was today's attendance, according to the BBC.

Can't see where you could have got another 7,000 plus into the stadium.

3,000 in the South
500 in the West
500 in the North
maybe 2,000 in the East.

So i'd say more like 11,500.

***I'm_cabbaged*** · 05-12-2009 05:44 PM

Surely some mistake, just over 10,000?

I thought it was at least as many as last week, I know there was fewer in the south but the FF and East looked busier. What did the West look like?

as well

This figure probably doesn't include the ticket holders in the West stand that got in via the main doors (me included).

The queues were large so they took our tickets via this method, so we didn't go in via the turnstiles.

They should just issue the attendance as tickets sold to give a truer figure

Today's attendance was 11,240.

Where are you getting that figure from or did you count?

I got it from someone who should know

It says 10,398 on the official site too so I'll try and confirm.

It's a pretty poor show that Hibs didn't have 13,000+ to be honest.

The yams think it's hilarious.

It is, but forget what they think up the road, it's a disappointing attendance.

I was at 'their' last home game (SJFC) and they had over 14,000 with only a few hundred visitors.

They gave away loads of tickets for that game though

I don't know how anyone can say for certain what the crowd was.

Just before K.O. in the lower West they had to open the exit gate to let the supporters in as the system had crashed. There is no way anyone counted the people going in.

The reason is simple Hibs don't count non-attending season tickets holders. Hearts among other clubs do.

Let them think they are doing well. Even if their attendances are actually higher, how many of the seats are the cheap kids tickets. I would imagine Hibs are still making more money on their gates.

They could stick Nade in the stand in their next home game and how many would that add to their seats occupied.

They did, that's true. But the crowd today was not a good one, no matter how you dress it up. FWIW, the yams will probably be playing to 5,000 somewhere, sooner rather than later but you need to be getting more through the gates than 10k in such a promising season.

***Mikey*** · 05-12-2009 06:20 PM

The attendance today is definitely 11,240. Press Association got it wrong!

Aye and then Yams count EVERY season ticket as part of their 'attendance' figure whether anyone's sitting there or not.

I wonder is coorporate attendance is counted?

Would expect 500-1000 to be in the lounges.

Apart from that, you forgetting that we have a recession?

Could you please show me where I slagged off the amount of folk that made it there today?

***Hibernian Verse*** · 05-12-2009 06:37 PM

It definitely looked as full, if not moreso than last week

**HIBERNIAN-0762** · 05-12-2009 06:43 PM

Time for us to contact ER and find out just what the **** is going on, the attendance given today is wrong wrong wrong, there's no way in hell that's how many were there today

**CMac1988** · 05-12-2009 06:50 PM

I think the biggest jump we'll see this season will be at the Rangers game, as other than a large away support this is when the 1/2 season tickets kick in.

I think that the folk that grabbed these may not have the extra cash to go to the rest of the home games until this point, especially with x-mas around the corner.

Hopefully thats when the attendances rise and stay up as its no less than what the team deserves.

It does confuse the issue somewhat when they admit to attending their games

There is 400,000+ of them so ya never know

**woody47** · 05-12-2009 06:53 PM

There appeared to be some problems with the scanning machines. Guy in front of me was just let in as the scanner didn't work on his ticket. Don't know if that happened a lot but certainly seemed to be problems.
Also it is taking even longer to get in so hope this gets sorted soon.

As for the size of the crowd the South stand was very empty as lucky if murderwell brought through 500. East wasn't that full as gaps all around where I was. West looked pretty full expect for the 'posh' seats and FFS looked pretty full.
