There appeared to be about 40 empty seats in the West hospitality which was sad given how desperate folk were to get to the game

From the West I spotted roughly 7-8 seats, more or less in three contiguous rows, at the far southern extreme of the East Stand last night, roughly half way up - presumably purchased by a group that could not attend?

Or by a group who moved to stand at the front?

Spoke to someone working at the game last night and they stated that there were 20 seats in reserve. Presumably to cover incase seats were inadvertently sold twice. Didn't say where they were and I didn't ask.

If ER was bigger I wonder how many more would have attended.

Normally get 25 to 30 thousand for a cup final. Would a cold winters night appeal to the day trippers

[monktonharp]

don't know why there is a funny shape to the Dunbar end if it was continued round to the East it would look better, but more importantly it would provide a fair bit more seating whether it was allocated to home or away fans.

we did get figures like that at some games in the 70's. 30k for new year derbies was common, iirc but tv would maybe stop that happening if we had capacity.

[Famous Fiver]

I've been at a New Year Derby at Easter Road where we had more than 50,000.

[Deansy]

Anyone know if it's possible to estimate what the capacity could be at ER if the corners were filled in ??

It's because of the road behind the stand. Same for the west corner of the FF

if in the Hibs end then maybe 25,000
if the away end then maybe 30,000
if both then maybe 35,000
mainly because it was a blackout so a bit of a one off

i would guesstimate about 1500 for each corner that can be filled in. Not sure all 4 can there was some doubt about Albion Road and the NW corner. So maybe around 4 - 5,000

I suspect around 3,000. The other two corners can take nothing more than big screens.

It would certainly transform the atmosphere.

The two corners would be the obvious place to put in safe standing without disrupting anyone.

Going by the number of people that couldn't get tickets, I reckon we could have shifted another 5-10k for last night. Quite incredible.

For that game quite a few thousand, but the danger is at other times you couldcend up with rows of empty seats & a poor atmosphere. Think the stadium is just about the right size for todays Hibs.

Fans are fickle, for many a season in days gone by I have been one of only 7 or 8 thousand at a game.

[HFC_NYC]

Been meaning to ask this for a while, but what's the deal with the section of covered seats at the lower left of the East Stand?

[hibee_nation]

The attendance should be 1 higher my ticket did not scan and was told to go to the ticket office, i just jumped in beside someone in the turn style as the game was about to start. Apologies to the lassie concerned.

3,383 v. St Johnstone midweek in the early 90s was the smallest crowd I can remember.

Your lucky! I was at last game of season v Partick 79/80 I think. 1500 max. It was eerie.

[Leith1979]

I love ER when it was full like Wednesday can't expect people outwith season ticket holders to come every weekend though. It's an expensive hobby especially when you have kids as well!

PS just joined and before posting this got told i have broken the board rules?! This is my first post so how is that possible?
