Rangers on 5th March

[Since90+2]

Do we have enough momentum to fill the ground and cut their allocation?

[EH54]

This game will no doubt to moved as i'm sure that's Scottish cup weekend with no doubt Hibs and Rangers qualifying so might be moved to a Tues or Wednesday night unfortunately but we should still be looking at a massive crowd!

[Bostonhibby]

Yes, let's fill the stand above them and dish out the same treatment to them. The authorities will do nothing if they are treating all clubs the same.

We have the momentum, we don't have the fans attending to do this.

Don't think we would be allowed to do this, if any split was taking place it would be vertical.

Sadly, I agree. Can't see us selling out the 3 stands.

A lot of sad hibbys this morning.

Unfortunately I agree with both your posts.

I'd love to see us getting enough to sell our tickets primarily but can't see that.

Mind you, plenty who could attend, will no doubt be at hampden the week after.

Did we sell out 3 stands when we cut their allocation for the playoff game?

attendance was 14000 so dont think so

[Fife-Hibee]

Anyone know how much it cost us the last time we cut their allocation ? We need to do all we can to get it up these c....

[NAE NOOKIE]

Only if we were within 2 or 3 points of them by then and to be honest I just cant see that happening, apart from us and Falkirk there doesn't seem to be a team in the division capable of beating them, Falkirk gave it a good go the other day again. Hibs are doing a great job staying in touch, but the breaks we need just aint coming our way.

[Super_JMcGinn]

I personally like when the Rangers come calling, and Hearts for that matter. There is no atmosphere like it at any other game. I also love it when we silence them . I look forward to seeing 3000+ exit the stadium in the same manner when they last visited.

Surely it should be a go-er selling 18000 odd tickets considering the thousands that will be crawling out the woodwork fo the cup final?

[FastEddieFelson]

we should cut their allocation regardless

[Ross4356]

I agree with everyone that we won't fill the 3 stands stadium however I do find it bizzare concidering this game is much bigger than the game at the weekend

By all accounts Sevco were lucky to escape with 3 points last night. Only a dodgy disallowed Raith goal allowed them to walk away with a victory. I think there will be points dropped by each of us as the pressure mounts.

Financial madness.

What's the point in Ozyhibby drumming up support for HSL to try and get guys to contribute a tenner a month or whatever and yet others are prepared to throw in the region of £50,000 away at the drop of a hat.

It's the money that allows us to bring the quality of player we are currently bringing in.

[Ringothedog]

To try and fill the ground we should offer a deal, something along the lines of buy an Alloa ticket and Rangers Ticket for something around £40-45 for adults and £15 for concessions. Could potentially mean a lot more people at the Alloa game which is live on telly.

Stop your moaning, that's life

[tartanhibee]

I think the Alloa game maybe quite busy as it's the only chance people will have to get on the database for cup final tickets before a general sale.

Or the fans could just bother their arse to turn up.

[My_Wife_Camille]

Get the vouchers out. Any tickets bought for this game guarantees you a cup final ticket.

Granted cup final tickets are more or less guaranteed anyway but still... Could be a decent incentive.

[Pretty Boy]

If money was no object I'd cut Rangers allocation anyway and stick them in the top tier only as far away from the pitch as possible, one half of the top tier would be even better.

Sadly some Hibs fans won't (that's won't, not can't) turn up and support their club so Hibs can't turn their nose up at the cash a sold out away stand provides.

Whether people like it or not this is bang on. I am bemused as to why some won't get along to support this team.

I personally think cost is the main issue, another could well be the hassle of getting a ticket beside friends who are season ticket holders. I know personally of occasions when this has happened. I think if we opened up the FF for cash gates and sit wherever you want it might encourage groups to go.
It is definitely a lot more difficult now than it used to be. My dad says in his day there were always a few on match day who had no intention of going, 4 pints later they were there with everyone else,no queuing for 30 mins before KO.

Two very good points.

Surely it's more fun doing them over with a full stand, as they try to sneak out

[HibsNutter]

It'll be astounding if we can take this 40K support that's being quoted through to Glasgow, but can't sell out three stands at Easter Road for a game that could be more important depending on how close we are to them.
