Hibs v Dundee Utd - sell out?

**Green Diet** · 24-09-2016 06:59 AM

Will this be Hibs' first sell-out for the season?

The top two favoured for the championship title going head to head for the first time with a Sunday lunch time kick-off at Easter Rd in only 8 days time.

It must get close surely!

I will be there with my 11 year old daughter in the Famous 5 upper. I emigrated to NZ 20 years ago and am making my return with her for the first time in many years. She has become a firm Hibees fan without really knowing why so I hope she has a great day out. I am really hopeful that we will have close to a full house and a great performance to celebrate.

I hope you're right but I strongly suspect that the attendance will be down on recent weeks, mainly due to the kick off time and the live TV coverage.

I'm bringing a couple of pals to the game. Hoping they get to experience a good crowd and game.

North East Scotland Hibs bringing a full bus down from Aberdeen since we can't get the train.

It will be a good crowd with a good atmosphere but it wont be a sell out.

Generally a lot of season ticket holders don't turn up for a Sunday lunchtime kick off.

Don't know if it will sell out but well done to you bringing your daughter over GD - hope you both have a great day out and that we get a result. The size of the crowd will depend on the result today. If we win today it might well be close to selling out providing of course we get half the away end

Season ticket holder and I already had other plans for the Sunday unfortunately. So 1 off a sellout

***AFKA5814_Hibs*** · 24-09-2016 07:53 AM

If it was at 3pm on Saturday, good chance it would have been our highest attendance so far this season, now that it's at Sunday lunchtime on TV, don't think it will be, certainly won't be anywhere near a sell out.

You could let hibs know and they could resell it?

But even if people don't turn up, it would still be a sell out just so long as there's no tickets to buy.

If tickets were tight that would be a good call, as it stands there are plenty tickets so it probably wouldn't interest Hibs.

Technically speaking your seat is SOLD so could still sell out

***Keith_M*** · 24-09-2016 08:44 AM

Today's result will have a big say in the size of the crowd next week.

Agree a lot of kids play football Sunday morning so will miss it even though they have season tickets.

**emerald green** · 24-09-2016 05:17 PM

For a game to be a "sell out" at Easter Road means a crowd of over 20,000, including the away stand containing approx 3,600 spectators.

There is absolutely no chance of that happening at 3pm on a Saturday, never mind 12 noon on a Sunday and the game on TV (I think?), for a fixture against Dundee United.

Same here spending a week in Tuscany

The response to this thread is what I expected. TV has ******ed over season ticket holders. I appreciate they are trying to show a diversity in coverage of the Scottish game.

I did last week as was in hospitality, was told to give it to a mate.

**~~G B Young~~** · 24-09-2016 07:56 PM

No chance it will sell out. It might actually be our lowest home league crowd of the season so far given the early kick off and the TV coverage.

**Sir David Gray** · 24-09-2016 08:00 PM

Attendance will be around 14,000.

**Green Diet** · 24-09-2016 08:03 PM

How has the QOS result today affected the potential attendance in the D Utd game next Sunday?

Probably no difference. A win probably puts more, a defeat less, a draw.,.meh.

**PompeyHibs** · 24-09-2016 11:21 PM

No chance Hibs have dropped 5/6 points, and we are not scoring goals and United are pretty poor... ooh and its a Sunday and on tv.

Im in Oz visiting a mate, we will both be watching - Graham Law im thinking 3-1 Hibs, the Arabs are piss hail hail

12,500 IMO
