Let's sell out the Hibs end

**InchHibby** · 16-04-2017 01:02 PM

Now that promotion has been taken care of, let's sell our remaining tickets for Hampden.
This team deserves to run out to a full Hibs end.
What a finish to the season it would be to reach another final.

I think we will sell out our end

Fact we're realistically suggesting Hibs could take 21k plus to a Hampden semifinal is quite astonishing. Not sure if that's ever been done in my lifetime ?? Rare time to be a Hibs fan.

I think we are pretty close to selling out , had we not sold about 18000 already ?

I started a dot count but gave up when I realised I had picked the wrong weekend ;)

Im sure we had over 20k for the semi-final v Dunfermline (0-0) in 2007. Total attendance was 25,339 and from memory the Pars had under 5000 there.

also 2001 semi against Livingston had a total attendance of just under 25000 and again from memory Livi had 3 or 4000 fans at the game.

Oh and in 2005 the attendance for the Hibs v Dundee Utd semi was 27271 and I'm certain Utd had just over 5000 at that one.

Yep, lets pack out our end and get the place rocking

The league is done so lets relax, have a party and hopefully see ourselves to another SC final

Exactly. We've achieved the main goal - anything else would be a huge bonus and we can just enjoy Saturday.

We have never defended the cup in any of our lifetimes.

We have taken over 20k to several semi-finals in recents years but it is a very good turnout

**howdenthehibby** · 16-04-2017 04:30 PM

Yes ! I'm going to go out and enjoy the day , whether we win or not we've made a good defence of our cup . But if we happen to make the final , Well that shall be party central . Here we go 2 in a row.

We've never defended the cup at a semi final ... EVER!!

I can't can't wait to return to Hampden and really want our end sold out and buzzing. Also hoping somone in the East/South corner has a 'Sir David Gray Corner' banner in production!!!

Yeah think you're right.

**we are hibs** · 16-04-2017 05:21 PM

No matter what happens on Saturday, I hope at full time the players get a massive applause. Most are already club legends, they've got us promotion and gave us our club back. They deserve Saturday just as much as the fans. Hopefully they go out, enjoy it and express themselves and I'm sure the fans will be loud and back them to the hilt.

Agreed!

I remember the Celtic Scottish cup final a few years ago when the fans sang throughout and were amazing till after the final whistle.

Going to be a great game and atmosphere.

2 games away..from something special

**HibsNutter** · 16-04-2017 07:49 PM

Aberdeen are a good side, but our boys can go out there with freedom and confidence under no pressure, having developed a winning habit. We will have a much larger support and we have every chance.

**monktonharp** · 16-04-2017 10:21 PM

I better get a move on still not got my ticket!

Are they any better than last year when we pumped them in the League Cup?
Are we any worse? Think it will be close. They still have 2nd place to fight for, although 3 points against the Yams are pretty much a gimme

On the day it will come down to tactics, will to win, an element of luck and potentially refereeing performance

Think they are better and was a hard fought win last year with late goals. Held on at times. We must be at best but we can win and less pressure than them .

Agreed, a win will be great, a loss will give us an idea of how well we shape up
Bit of a win-win really

Just the idea of the league wrapped up, with a countdown to another Final, while THAT lot fights to hang on to 5th place against Plastic Whistle is just pleasing, very pleasing

**Centre Hawf** · 17-04-2017 12:02 AM

Like many of you have already said. Regardless of what the score is come the full time whistle on Saturday these lads deserve to be thanked for everything they've given us in the Scottish Cup these last two seasons. They'll all be gutted as much as any of us should Aberdeen beat us and, but they'll be as equally as excited at the opportunity to do it all over again should we win.

GGTTH.

**SirDavidsNapper** · 17-04-2017 12:28 AM

Strange feeling leading up to this semi. The monkey is off our back and there is no pressure on us whatsoever. I usually feel overly tense about semi finals but completely different since we won it. If we lose its been a great defence and we'll move on. I have a feeling we'll get to the final though.

Im most glad we have defended trophy well and we go back to hampden in a semi as holders not hoodoos

**SirDavidsNapper** · 17-04-2017 04:20 AM

How many have we sold then? I've heard 17k mentioned. That just a guess or have the club announced anything?

***The Spaceman*** · 17-04-2017 07:44 AM

Its a nice feeling not feeling anxious about next week...we have defended this cup admirably and we are about to play a team who are absolutely flying in the division above us. If we win, will be absolute scenes. If we lose, we take the prize money and hold our heads up high for taking our cup back to Hampden at least. We were all there for the greatest game in our history, so will never be topped which I find comforting!
