    What Worries Me most...

    ...is that I'm seriously starting not to care anymore. And I'm not the only one. I can't get excited about the current debacle, evidently nobody in the boardroom sees it as a concern, and the supporters are starting to mirror that.

    Have the board pretty much given up on Hibs?

    Ah but they are concerned - they have brought out a lovely light purple strip, trialled today.

    Seriously, they maybe thought, like a few of us did, that breaking the home win hoodoo against St Johnstone was us turning the corner but there's a lot more to it than that. We've still got half a team that can't do the basics.

    That's where my son and I are just now, and judging by today's crowd there are lots of folk who have already jacked it in.

    It worries me also, I am seriously thinking about cancelling my direct debit, why go to watch that every week when i could pick any game and walk up pay at the gate.
    The board has to do somthing soon, I know alot off ex season ticket holders, and fear there is only going to be more walking away. Once you have lost them they are gone, and it will be hard to get them back.
    I dont know what the solution is but the wave off apathy spreading across Easter Rd REALLY REALLY IS WORRYING
    We seem to have a group off players that dont know the basics, a manager that couldnt pick his nose, never mind his best 11 or the tactics. And a board that is burying its head in the sand.

    But i am a HIBS SUPPORTER AND ALWAYS WILL BE. but just how much off my cash and how regularly i pay in to be one i am not sure.

    Totally agree, I left at half time today because I had no interest in staying any longer and watching that. Got a season ticket but can't see myself being back there any time soon.

    sadly Bob, this is where I am, the Sun was out today so for the first time in a long time I didn't at least sign in and listen, went to the pub and sat in the garden drinking too much, still disappointed when the scores came through. Muttered something to our resident Currant Bun who was bigging up Stuart McCall and saying the Yams are their only challenger for the title. I will probably speak to him again in a couple of months.

    Pissed off as reading the views of one or two posters who always give a balanced view of the performances I really don't see much progress or consistency of effort in some key positions, both seem too long in coming from certain players and I am reluctantly moving towards thinking Calderwoods time is up, problem is who would get anything more out of who we have, and the timing ain't great. If we were truly able to consolidate at the top end of the bottom 6 (some aspiration eh?) we could punt him and let the new guy experiment in the remaining pointless games, but I fear a relegation battle.

    Had a few trips up lined up soon but have to think about it now.

    Today's attendance 8,518 of which I'd guess around 500 were Motherwell fans.

    People are voting with their feet and who can blame them?
    This is how it feels

    For some of us, that have to travel a bit to home games, now it is becoming an issue if it is worth digging for the petrol money. The reasons not to go just now far outweigh the reasons to go. Having a season and not going is like going to the cinema, paying and then going home without watching. Sounds ludricrous but TBH, if we have another winter like the one just gone and we are still going backwards on the pitch I can see me blaming Jack frost and swapping the chilly east for my armchair and SSN.

    We have been ****** for about 4 years and I admire the fans who have continued to believe.

    I go along every now and then just to confirm that we really are as pish as I remember from my previous visit.

    Something has to change at the top of the club.

    I'm going now because i feel like ive got a duty to go. However, I was there on my tod because my daughter couldnt be bothered today. Thats the kind of potential lifelong fan (and her cash) that the club might miss out on if things dont get better soon.

    We must not give up we have the best stadium outside the old firm we are Solvent and have cash in the bank.
    We must move forward we should be in Europe every season and be winning cups Our club is set up for this why are we not doing this ? and what do we need to do to achieve what is rightfully ours

    But what about the poor Hibby's who do stick with the team and go along and watch them, there is still a few of us left but it is grim viewing watching the Hibs, its been like this for a while too, time for the fans who do go to the games and dont like what they are watching to make the noise to the board that wee are not happy with CC, if that means a protest at the next home game then so be it, something has to be done as CC is not the answer.

    Time for STF to start kicking some ass.

    I've been going since I was eleven, Willie Irvine was my first footballing hero. Up until recently my love for the Hibees was unwaivering. When I was a kid, the old ' Easter Road Stadium' signwriting outside the old main stand used to have the hair standing up on the back of my neck when I walked up for a game.

    The famous Hibees, our wonderful stadium, the steep terracing that overlooked some of Britain's most talented footballers.

    Now, everytime I go, its like something dies inside.

    Its deeper than just having some poor players, everything feels wrong with the club. The marketing, communication, direction, catering, merchandise, income maximisation, facilities etc. Irrespective of the malaise facing Scottish football, we've got to fix ourselves first or there is no future

    Didn't realise we would be playing in purple today. Think that's nothing short of embarrassing, personally. We're having enough of an identity crisis at the minute without binning our home strip!

    Aye was probably pushing it being negative about the facilities right enough.

    As early as the start of last season we were using the extra seats. The manager has seen to it that people aren't coming anymore.

    Not neccesarily, might be being hard on yourself.

    We can have the best equipment in the world but if we don't use it properly or theres no desire to improve / nothing there in the first place, whats the point? Probably cheaper to hire a pitch at Riccarton for a couple of hours.

    At the moment we are like a fish with a bloody impressive tennis racquet.

    I Wonder why, one day RP Will look out on his empire and witness a sea of empty seats and finally admit CC Was not the man i thought he was.

    Crowds were falling under the previous incumbent, his unworkable legacy and worst ever home record

    Picked Hibs 20 years ago when I moved here, think I might bin the ST and get a Hearts one next season!








































    It's not quite that bad yet is it?
