16,925 - hearts 'official' attendance from Saturday

[Hibs90]

This is about them yes but that was the official attendance giving out on Saturday. I seen this picture on Facebook earlier. Does that look like 16,000 to you? Does it ****. More proof that their attendance figures are complete lies. Just wanted to mention this.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Do they include the rats that infest the condemned shed in their figures?

[SJM]

What do they gain by lying?

[Scottie]

We are getting more like that shower of **** every day with some poster's obsession with the gimps.

Personally i couldn't give a flying **** about their attendances or Brokeback or anything to do with them.

F&&K the Hearts.

[Toldo123]

There was certainly a lot less than that with 15 minutes to go !!

[Geo_1875]

I assume they only gave St Johnstone half the stand and apparently only 450 turned up. With seats unavailable for segregation and every home seat filled the figure of 16,925 would be reasonably accurate. I do know a few ST holders who don't go to every game but they will be counted in attendances. Maybe they lend them to fellow puddle-drinkers.

[Alfred E Newman]

Is it not just a case of manufacturing a higher attendance than Hibs v St Johnstone?

[Captain Trips]

People say on here they are obsessed with us as well. F%%% them and their attendance.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I wish all 400,000 of the puddle drinkers had been there to watch them get pumped

[Waxy]

16,925 Watching hearts whilst thinking about Hibs.

Here's the difference: we sell out the derby replay and then tell the truth about the attendance on the night. All 20,500 tickets were sold and then a few people must have been unable to come for whatever reason, so the official attendance was given as 19k or whatever it was.

Maybe it satisfies their long standing Big Team delusion.

Maybe they get more money out of their advertisers with bigger crowds or will use the fake figures when selling ad. space for next season. They're Yams remember.

The figure is 16,295 according to BBC not 16,925, but still a good few thousand more went through the Gorgie turnstiles on Saturday.

[Hermit Crab]

Lets leave it to the Hearts fans to empty their nuts in their underpants over attendance figures.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Do they have season ticket holders not turning up who are still counted in the figures?

Maybe we took a bit off the official attendance to cover the inevitable seat breakages ?

Slightly off topic , This will sound like an odd question to many ... But anyone know the story behind the loafs of bread ? I was unfortunate enough to be at haymarket station as great unwashed arrived. Seemed every last one of them had several loafs of hovis...

I'm imagining a Forest Gump/ Edinburgh jakey hybrid voice saying "and I just kept on baking".

If being a prick and saying another poster is a hearts ******* and that is "naughty" and not arsey then fair enough 👍

I would rather get called any name rather than be accused of being one of them to be fair but point taken. 👍

[Turkish Green]

Who cares. They claim full houses for all of their home games, does it really matter to anyone if there are empty seats.

I suspect that ST holders who do not turn up will still be accounted for.

Don't think so but we sell about 100 season tickets which are returned for resale through the ticket office - that definitely happened on saturday as there were only about 20 tickets available first thing in the morning and seats were appearing then being resold. I didn't use mine but it was used by a friend. I believe the figures are through the turnstiles. There were no tickets available for sale from about 1.30pm. Not sure how many St Johnstone sold but the 16,295 is about right IMO as it's about 900 short of capacity (it includes an area in the Roseburn sheeted off for segregation.

Heading wrong. Attendance was 16295 not as in thread title. Biggest crowd a0 that piggery all season is our semi final. 2nd biggest, our scottish cup tie there. Common denominator.... HIBS. Big team my ****

[Hibernia&Alba]

To be fair, the Hearts support responded well to their near demise and have put their money in to save their club via tickets and direct debit scheme.
