3,265

3,265 more fans at Tynecastle than were at Easter Road last night.

Hearts outperforming us in the stands as well as on the pitch this season it seems.

It was a cold school night though.

***Hermit Crab*** · 26-09-2018 09:17 PM

Tickets were cheaper too. £18 and £8 across the board for a match not on tv.

Do you think.......maybe......live TV had something to do with it?

I think the game being on tv is a bigger factor than the ticket price. Not sure we’d have got another 3500 in the door if it was £2 cheaper. If it wasn’t on tv however, the gate would have been bigger.

We need to stop this nonsense.

Yup, a lot of Hibs fans would rather sit at home and watch on TV instead of going along to Easter Road to cheer on the team in big numbers like the Hearts fans did tonight.

What a strange post.

There’s a number of reasons why Hearts would have a bigger crowd than us this week, the most obvious one being that our game was on the tele.

They are out performing us in the league but it’s still only September.

Does anyone actually care?

No. Loads of streams available these days.

The fact that Hearts are flying and that they priced the game sensibly has played a major part.

That just sounds like excuses tbh...

Thats about the size of it. No matter how well play there are always stay aways.

***Lancs Harp*** · 26-09-2018 09:28 PM

Hearts draws its support from 6 streets in Gorgie, we however draw our support from across the world, indeed the universe, it makes it difficult to get to midweek matches for the Hibs hordes.

**Austinho** · 26-09-2018 09:29 PM

Seriously, who gives a ****** what Hearts do? Good for them.

They haven’t been to Hampden for 5 years, and they had a fairly easy tie - of course they were going to come out in numbers to witness such a novelty.

**Centre Hawf** · 26-09-2018 09:29 PM

We still talking about this? They're flying in the league, they weren't on TV, their game was cheaper than ours, they haven't had to fork out for 3 Europa League Fixtures. I wholeheartedly expected Hearts to have had the bigger attendance, much like I would have expected us to if those same reasons were flipped round.

**Pretty Boy** · 26-09-2018 09:29 PM

Another thread moaning about and slagging Hibs fans and the attendance last night. Just what was needed.

Remember when we used to laugh at Hearts fans for their obsession with crowds? Highest average attendance in decades and still it's not enough for some.

If bigging them up floats your boat then carry on. I don’t get why you would want to though.
Personally I couldn’t give a **** about Hearts unless we are playing them.

If you are older than fourteen then I apologise for this.

The number of folk wanting to praise Hearts in general, whilst sticking the knife in to Hibs, is ridiculous. If they won the cup I’m sure a few folk would be along to the parade to give them a cheer. And probably count how many were there as well.

Sounds like factual reasons to me.

***Brightside*** · 26-09-2018 09:39 PM

I wonder if half the people would even bother supporting Hibs if Hearts didnt exist. This thread is unreal.

**Pretty Boy** · 26-09-2018 09:40 PM

3461.

That's how many Hearts fans were at Tynecastle on Saturday but couldn't be bothered tonight.

I don't know how Hearts fans spend their weeknights. Ironing beige slacks? Sorting cardigans? Polishing their Rovers? Enjoying missionary intercourse with their wife before she puts her curlers in?

It's all just excuses though. They should have been at Tynecastle tonight, bloody part timers. If you have a pulse you should never miss a game ever.

If they get more at their inevitable LC parade than we did I swear I'll do time.
