    Tynie attendance yesterday, eh?

    Giving it as just under 15.000 just cannot believe this is right, surely they they must be counting simply everyone who walks into the ground supporters or not, didn't look that full in the highlights anyway, is this another arrogant pack of yam lies again?

    It is common practice for some of the spl teams to count ticket sales and not turnstile turns (as we do).

    I suppose the thinking is, who in their right mind wouldn't attend a game they have already paid for??

    On average Hibs have about 1,000 ticket holders who don't turn up to the games.
    Mon the Hibs.

    Would I be right in saying that if they have 10,000 season ticket holders, then that is where they start the counting at?

    Only 15,000?

    They must have forgotton to count the other 385,000 that were staying in the biggest hotel in the world at the back of their new mega stand.

    only 15,000 - surely they have to add the 9,000 locked out

    Refuse to believe that their gates are still that big, whilst more than half their support are supposed to be revolting.

    Surely attendance figures will be counted for tax reasons, so its strange that they would be lying by saying there is more attending as that will cost them more tax in the long run.

    They also add how many tickets they have given the away support, irrespective if they are all sold.

    Tax will be based on ticket sales and not on published attendance figures.

    Hearts selling junior season tickets for £20 will encourage people to buy one for family members who are only likely to attend a handful of matches a season.

    They started it

    They bump up their attendances so they can feel good about themselves and perpetuate the myth that they're still the 3rd force in Scotland.

    Last time I looked they were the 9th force in Scotland.

    Attendances of 14,000 isn't enough to save them in any case given that they're losing money hand over fist. To me, it seems the Hearts fans aren't doing enough to save their club by not supporting "Mr Romanov" in his quest for global domination and the empty seats are evident of that.

    So, if you accumulated both Hibs and Hearts' attendances in the same way they might just have a few more fans than ourselves every fortnight, I'll let them carry on and claim their meek moral victory if it keeps them warm at night.

    We can console ourselves in the knowledge that even if the remainder of our home games this season were played behind closed doors, we'd still be able to pay win bonuses on time.

    Enjoy your Christmas ya pink-clad fuds

    I've seen Yamsville fairly full, and I tell you, MOST of their support are revolting!

    Maybe they sold more tickets because Romanov was there, were they not supposed to be protesting? How did that go?

    Heard on the radio that Romanov did not turn up. Apparently, he never intended to and had only said he would be there to locate the source of a leak in his organisation. How mad is this man?

    Hearts 'logic' is that all season ticket seats have been sold and can't be sold again. Whether anyone actually bothers to turn up or not is irrelevant. Ditto with the away allocation - tickets given to the visting side can't be sold to anyone else.

    So they (love to) talk about 'attendances' when it's really 'tickets allocated'. This helps fuel their superiority complex. They are another small Club, but the way they go on you think their attendance was 41,000 not 14,000.
