Don't spend the afternoon in the bookies.
Don't spend the afternoon on the golf course.

After watching that pish on Monday, I'm glad I havent suffered any more of this season, and I wont be back to sample any more of that. I'd rather have the best part of £30 and a couple of hours with my kids rather than watching overpaid crap players fail to do even the basics right. If I wanted to watch that level of 'football' I can see that with JGPS U9 girls on a Saturday morning (actually, they made me smile a couple of times this year).

[hibee_girl]

It's a Hibs Kids game so I have 2 extra folk coming along with me to this game (not that they know it yet! )

It's a Hibs Kids game

Ah, good old 'Hibs Kids'. I remember having my name read out at half time to be ball boy at the next home game when I was 11 or 12; part of the Hibs Kids season ticket competition draw thingy.

We played Dundee United (IIRC) which we lost (again, IIRC).

I was stationed at the south(ish) end of the East and can remember being given words of encouragement from various folk after I went in the huff when we had a goal chalked off for offside.

Do they still do the Hibs Kids half time competition draws? Can't say I've noticed it at the few home games I've been to in the past 2 years......

Back on track, I may make an appearance on Saturday (as a non-ST holder). No idea why though, possibly something to do with the random ball boy flashback I've just had. :

I imagine the lure of all other possible distractions for ST holders would be decreased significantly if there was even a remote chance that some Hibs players would turn up and actually play for the Hibees as opposed to be vacant zombies disgracing the shirt.

Just a thought mind.

That's yam talk.

[MussiHibee]

Why put myself through the pain of watching players that are no where near good enough to play for our great club? It's TORTURE!

Until there's a change throughout the club (new manager was a start) we will not get much better...

Sad times indeed when I cannot be ersed going to a derby at ER...

[happiehibbie]

Guys we the supporters are not to blame for the crisis and it is a crisis at Easter Road. Its very hard to get excited at a game when nothiong is happening on the field...

I think the atmospher at the derby had to be the worst ever from both ends.

So please stop having a go at fans for not going.

I said at the begining of the season i was going to give it 6 games I am still going I do not leave until the game is over infact i have never walked out early from a game.

I hope it gets better soon or i wont be buying my tickets next year and before someone has a go 20 yrs i have had a ticket got one when i stopped playing

How would i get people back i would play an attacking team and get the ball moving quicker arround the field and play 2 or 3 up front remember these days when we played 2 up front seems 20yr since we had 3 up front. its simple really if we play with more forward players and keep them up the park thaen the other team have to put men back to mark them. We are getting beat everyweek so why not get beat playing attacking exciting football lose 3 goals score 4 at the other end that will bring the fans back .

am i nervous for tomo OH YES

[The Voice Of Reason]

I will be at the Pantomime with my kids (rather than the Pantomime at Easter Road........Look, a Hibs player has actually passed it to another Hibs player - "OH NO HE HASN'T")

Shouldn't the club be doing this?

Yes.

But what's to stop us, the fans, trying to do something positive as well? We don't have to sit back and let somebody else do something for us do we?

I would say that it's almost counter-productive for the club to do it, because whenever they do stuff to encourage folk to go it's met with derision.

Maybe the Club themselves could do something radical, and find out from each season ticket holder who don't attend ER, why that is??

The answer is not too hard to find though, poor quality football offered up, and a Board who only talk to the fans when it suits them.......

Think the last point is a bit unfair, the board are behind the goals before each game and I can say each and every time I've had cause to email them, I've had a prompt and full reply.

They come in, look lost, go to the same table each week, then leave.

But yeah at least they show their face.

I agree with you about the e-mails but I used tae go tae BTG and in there they generally talk with the same groups of people, the ones who probably dinnae ask awkward questions and hang off every word they say. I asked Petrie a question one time, cannae mind what it was because it was many years ago since I last went there. He didnae like the question so fobbed me off with the sort of answer you'd get from a politician. The only person in there I ever got a straight answer from was Colin McNeil, I got on great with him, was invited tae ER for a coffee several times tae discuss things, straight talking and straight answers all the time. It's a pity we couldnae get him back at ER IMO.

Why is it unfair Matty, the Board don't answer questions put to them directly, more putting a positive slant on things......They know they are under severe pressure, but come out with the stance "we should not be tearing overselves apart, and should unite as one"....

[Hibs_SW]

Ill be there i paid for a season ticket for a reason and dont see the point spending money on it when not going to go, yeah we all know the "football" we are seeing aint silky or exciting but come on its the club u support is it not? Id like to hope that the club will still be there even if Petrie etc werent? Then someone else would just come along and take over their duties????Therefore its not the board u are backing its the history and club itself! We all know being a hibs fan aint exciting right now or for the last few seasons but its part and parcel of football u get bad seasons u get jolly good ones. Its a passionate sport and hibs fans need to get behind the manager and the club and help them along the way a bit. Not telling everyone what to do people will do what they want and what they see fit but ill be there tomorrow and every other week to get behind the club :)

Evil ********.
I expect nothing less than them throwing themselves to the ground and admitting we are pish and it's all their fault.
Seriously, I couldn't care less what they say to us at the moment and IF we eventually get a winning team on the park hardly anybody else would care either.

Thats the thing M59, we don't have a winning side, and the fans are rightly voicing their displeasure......

We all crave a winning side, and if we had one there would be little flak aimed at the Board, but we don't......

[puff the dragon]

Nah you're alright. i won't be using my LAST EVER season ticket again and have only used it about 5 times already. Raging with myself for wasting £405 on it, which has been used to pay for those imposters.

Even if Hibs ever get their act together and put something entertainig on the park with a team that actually care I won't buy another as during my time away I have obtained other interests that I'm going to prioritise over gash games against Motherwell, St J and the likes.

In order for me to even buy a walk up ticket again we need a bit more enthusiasum about the football at boardroom level as there is no entertainment in that dross just now.

With the initial outlay of £405 already flushed down the toilet it is actually value for money now not going as it's the choice between:
1) Going to the game because you have already paid for it with a non-refundable ticket.
2) Accepting that the ticket was non-refundable, writing it off and learning your lesson for future and not going.

If the choices were a mandatory 2 hours at Easter Road watching the football or paying £25 to get out of the mandatory trip to Easter Road - I'd probably pay the £25.
