    580 Hibs Fans at Paisley

    Pretty poor to he honest. Think everyone that came through should get 10 tickets for the cup final.

    We are in a relegation battle, and apathy prevails.

    I'm pretty sure they will all have a ticket for the final.

    Can't wait to see how many make the journey up here on Wednesday. Fist time in a while the game hasn't been on TV at Todders so hopefully more than the usual few hundred.

    Is it? The majority of SPL clubs wouldn't take that to Paisley.

    Red face Confession

    I was going to go, and I am only 17 miles from St. Mirren Park. I got distracted doing chores for her who must be obeyed, then I went for a snooze, and woke up too late to catch the train for k.o. time

    I should therefore get -10 Cup Final tickets

    The majority of the clubs in the SPL don't have a fanbase of 10-20,000.

    Yet, they seems to finish consistently above us...

    That is always the problem when we have a national stadium that is not fit for purpose.

    Guilty - I'm totally apathetic at the moment.

    £20 entrance + petrol. KO time when I take kids to see their Grannie - Nah, not for me.

    When we got rid of Duffy in 1998 we brought in McLeish and the team showed a bit of fight and skill. This is the worst Hibs team I've ever seen and I wasn't prepared to pay £20 to get in and petrol money/supporters bus money that I can't really afford having forked out £105 for cup final tickets.

    It's not apathy for most fans, it's despair.

    We should be applauding these guys. Fantastic effort.

    So wish I could be in a position where I could join on away trips.

    Wrong. I was at the game today, but I don't have a ticket for the final. Neither does my mate.

    Like many Hibs fans, we can't afford the initial outlay of a season ticket, but we regularly attend matches anyway. We were both at the semi-final against Aberdeen, and at Ayr United before that.

    Yet neither of us is likely to get a ticket for the final because the club we plough money into on a regular basis has decided that we're not important enough.

    I'm sure the literally thousands of hibs.net members, tickets for the final already secured, felt pretty comfortable this afternoon as they let the real fans trail through to Paisley.

    The worrying part for me was the atmosphere, we may have only had 580 but the other 2.500 odd were as quiet as mice. outsang them out cheered them and generally supported the team.
    Is this what playing for nowt does to your fans

    also credit to the stewards who gave us no hassle for standing, having the drum and opening the exit doors to take it in for us.

    No.

    I can afford the initial outlay on a ST, but can't afford to go to many away games. I was at the Semi and Cowdenbeath and the club have deemed me worthy of a ticket.

    I'm a real fan too.

    Them's the breaks eh.

    I thought I seen a female member of the Gestapo try to get you lot to sit down at the start of the match?? Seemed to give up after a while though.

    I'll be there if I can get a bus sorted, the last train and megabus are too early unfortunately.

    Always enjoy a trip to Pittodrie although maybe that's because I literally lived on the doorstep for 6 years.

    It maybe just be me but I feel guilty at these kind of threads.

    I am one of those inhuman people who go to Hibs games when I can.

    Things like cutting the grass, washing the car, visiting relations, household chores etc IMO can be fitted in at other times in the week.

    While I'm at it there is something refreshing about away games, not the same amount of whingers that we get at home games.

    Worst case scenario is going down but if we do I reckon I will enjoy it as it has to be more enjoyable than going through this week in week out.

    Agree with the bit in bold - I've only been to a handful of away matches this season but enjoyed them all.

    Don't agree with your other point about fitting things in at other times. That may well be the case for you but everyone has different circumstances and Sunday's for me are almost impossible in terms of seeing Hibs.

    I didn't get in until just before kick off so maybe she did try, the guy with the security ball cap just wanted us all to have a seat behind us.
    However she did raise her game and confiscate a wee boys juice bottle and took the aforementioned security guy for backup incase the wee lad got lippy, must have been all of five.

    I appreciate different people have different circumstances and priorities, however since the cup final tickets came up our support hasn't increased at all in my opinion and some of the excuses being put forward by some people are cringeworthy.

    By the way Dave enjoy this years Cup Final, it is the last to be played on a Saturday, as of next season its on a Sunday

    I take my hat off to everyone who went today to watch that embarassing garbage , the club does not deserve your loyal support.

    Angry A bit ironic i think?

    When we got rid of Duffy in 1998 we brought in McLeish and the team showed a bit of fight and skill. This is the worst Hibs team I've ever seen and I wasn't prepared to pay £20 to get in and petrol money/supporters bus money that I can't really afford having forked out £105 for cup final tickets.

    It's not apathy for most fans, it's despair.[/QUOTE]



    The worst Hibs team you have seen and you didnt want to watch them "FIGHT" for survival in the SPL or fork out money on the fares and entrance fee?

    Why then are you spending £105 to go and watch the "worst Hibs team you have ever seen" play in a cup final???

    We aint suddenly going to get 11 new players in a period of 4 weeks, it will be man for man still "the worst Hibs team you have ever seen"

    Only 587 Hibs supporters were present today yet there are over 20,000 of us wanting tickets to see the cup final?

    Sorry....... not good enough!
