That was lucky - just booked a trip to London for the 26th/27th, just minutes ago!

Early start to season, less midweek games to worry about.

Postpone a Saturday league game for a friendly, and play league game on a Wednesday

When we want more people through the gates, we make it harder for the fans to go.

Hibs for making a complete REMOVED of it.

**~~Saorsa~~** · 27-07-2011 03:50 PM

They could have kept it 'til we had a spare Saturday efter we've been knocked out of the Scottish by some lower division team again.

***SteveHFC*** · 27-07-2011 04:01 PM

Happy with that. Straight to the game after training at Meadowbank.

It would have been better at 3pm on a Saturday, I remember them from the good old days....

Exactly

St. Johnstone at home on a Saturday at 3:00pm - good chance of a decent crowd (as well as a leisurely shandy or two before and after the match).

St. Johnstone at home on a Wednesday at 7:45pm - crap crowd and a good chance that I'll be running around like a blue-arsed trying to get there on time.

Ludicrous decision again ....... it makes you wonder if the powers that be (both at Hibs and the SPL) are doing everything they can to drive people away from the game altogether.

The only sell-outs you're likely to watch live on TV are the bigot-fests

**hibbymark** · 27-07-2011 04:22 PM

I was in the hibs shop on saturday and i watched 3 italian students begging to buy tickets for sundays game only to be refused because they were not on the database. I remember thinking with the edin fest about to start once again we miss a opportunity that some tourists may wish to take in a game,buy some snacks or programmor reminder from the shop. To sit in a half empty stadium like sunday had me thinking the exact same thing. We really are doing our best to drive people away.With the constant changing of match dates already looking like my discount on walk up prices is going to be lost.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 27-07-2011 04:32 PM

Why could we not have played St Johnstone in the league game scheduled for the saturday, and had a friendly midweek?

Not going to go into this again as I started a long thread last year on the rank stupidity that surrounds the allocation of Category A tickets : http://www.hibs.net/showthread.php?1...light=tourists

Out of interest, did no-one offer to buy tickets for the tourists?

**~~Ed De Gramo~~** · 27-07-2011 04:44 PM

Hopefully we never see this friendly inbetween SPL matches nonsense again.

Surely we would have had more people in hospitality for a saturday SPL match?

Do we have to pay for Sunderland to stay up here?

**GloryGlory** · 27-07-2011 04:44 PM

I paid the full price up front for my seaso. I already know I am losing out because of the crap TV schedules. GTF.

Thats me finished with buying a season ticket. I already miss out on some games that are moved because of tv, FFS we even have the sheep game moved to sunday for no apparent reason i can see? Now we are moving league games from saturday to midweek for a friendly.

I will still make the same amount of games, but save a fortune now.

***matty_f*** · 27-07-2011 05:03 PM

Crap decision, everyone is crying out for 3pm Saturday kick offs for games that actually mean something.

**Mark79** · 27-07-2011 05:10 PM

REMOVEDholes!

Joking apart - everyone knew exactly where they stood in the days of the Saturday 3pm kick offs and the alternate home and away fixtures.

**marinello59** · 27-07-2011 05:20 PM

There is no justification for playing a friendly instead of this fixture. I guess there is some justification for taking the Sunderland game on but I really can't see what it is.

***HH81*** · 27-07-2011 05:25 PM

Although I don't agree with the sunderland game, everyone was kidding themselves if they didn't think this would be mid-week. It was always going to be in my eyes. Only thing I can think of is they thought Hibs fans would attend in big numbers and sunderland fill away end. Can't see that either.

and I won't be at the Sunderland game. How to piss off the folk that keep the club alive in one easy step. Joke decision.

**EasterRoad4Ever** · 27-07-2011 05:54 PM

My theory is that Petrie is doing all he can to drive revenue down as it just gives him the problem of how to spend it

Agree, Hibs and the SPL are doing everything possibly to keep fans away from games - unbelievable.

**DH1875** · 27-07-2011 05:56 PM

And I've got news for you all. Next season is starting even earlier so no doubt we will be postponing a few games to fit in friendlies against EPL teams.

How you know that?

***.Sean.*** · 27-07-2011 06:40 PM

So we can play Sunderland in a ****ing friendly. Fantastic, some folk have to work and would rather see an important league game on a weekend as opposed to a meaningless game. Cheers Hibs.
