The fans are not doing their bit to make sure The Tash has no other option but to sign Leigh, No complaints from me if we dont tie him up

another poor show We should look at giving half price tickets to school kids or un employed an empty seat is a waste and all these thousands of empty seats cant do the team any favours. We need positive stuff and encouragement right now

You just said on the Maybury thread that the next 2 games are must win or we will lose fans. How very encouraging of you.

Now you make negative comments about the crowd. Remind me - Which team in Edinburgh has a hard on about big crowds?

[JHFC]

its hard to see where the extra 8000 odd seats come from, looked packed today.

I wish people would stop saying half price tickets would increase crowds. They would certainly reduce income as no-one would buy seasons

[brianmc]

?? Where were you sitting that it looked packed
2100 seats in the away end as a starter.
Famous Five crowd was sparse and the West was mostly empty.

[Billy Whizz]

On a positive front probably well up on the same fixture last season.
Was this our biggest crowd of the season?

[Golden Bear]

The team may have been winning games but there is still a distinct lack of enterprising play. More flair and entertainment is needed before the punters are tempted back. Let's have less punts up the park please!

The fans did their bit in May, the club let us down. Some fans are taking their time to come back. Some of the people there in May will never be back. That's life. We move on.
It's time for the club to show the fans that the underachievement is a thing of the past, the crowds will then start to increase but I suspect it will be slowly.

Can't argue with that. We've had a bad few years but i think it's fair to say when the going gets tough our fans leg it...and then don't come back.

[FranckSuzy]

Funny how one defeat brings out some posters on here, who were nowhere to be seen during our unbeaten home run

Like every other club you mean?

Aberdeen suffered like us for a few pish years and their crowds plummeted. Go on a good run and they bring 1800 today - just we have done to away games this season.

It's not a Hibs thing - It's not even a football thing. It's just the way it is.

I wasn't really talking about signing Leigh. If we can't afford him then so be it. It was the comment about the fans not doing their bit that was annoying.
Hibs fans put nearly £7m a year into Hibs. Only Celtic in the SPL brought in more last year. Our performances have not matched the commitment of the fans.

To be fair the "Fans" did their "bit" as you put it in may what did they do in Aug-April ? barring 1 crowd against Dunfermline ?
Im not Knocking anyone who doesnt go, Im just pointing out that we cant sign players of Leigh's class with 10,000 home fans

[BoltonHibee]

For **** sake, that is a great attendance, why the moaning?

We are where we are, some people won't recognise why that is, just get on with it and stop whingeing FFS!

We topped that at Dunfermline last season. They've been rank for longer than us and there home crowds are awful.

That Dunfy game was virtually a relegation decider. Pretty sure the dons would have brought equally as big a crowd if they were in that situation.

Re their poor crowds - They have had 4 x 10,000+ crowds from 7 home games and we have had 5 10,000+ crowds from 8 home games. They have the same fight as us in order to try and win fans back. It's not easy after years of massive under achievement.

The fans did their bit in May, the club let us down.

The additional 15K that turned up at Hampden for the s/f and final didn't do their bit by showing up for a showpiece game or two. The 9 or 10K that show up every week do their bit.

The club let us down in May? Hardly.

They were never there in the first place. Just popped along to Hampden for a pop at a day of glory.



We won a cup in 2007 with almost 30,000 Hibs fans there. Our home attendances barely increased on the back of it AFAICR.

Yup, just counting the ticket money

[J-C]

There was huge areas of the west empty, surprised at that TBH, we should've had 14000 there as it was a pretty important game.
