    Thought it started with Stubbs. Lennon in championship was dire. Up to xmas in SPL not too good either or all of season 2 in SPL.
    Can't disagree with that

    Aberdeen still to reach 10,000. Shows you how important additional investment is, as they have a much bigger budget than Hibs

    9,300 is pretty poor, both Edinburgh teams have sold 30% more season tickets to date.
    Those poor sales and the new stadium should keep them in check until Ron can get some of his pals involved at Hibs as well as attracting more income to the club.

    Thats shocking considering they've been the second best team in Scotland for most of the last 5 years or so and with the players they're bringing in.

    You sense there is a lot of apathy creeping in at the dons possibly because of folk with too high expectations of past glories. It's strange that they lag so far behind the two Edinburgh teams in terms of crowds especially considering their far better league finishes in the last few seasons. They seem propped up by outside investment but it looks a risky strategy building a new stadium on the crowds they are getting. With the foh money at Hertz and our far better financial position I'd be worried if I was a dons fan for their future unless they just expect this outside investment to keep on continuing.

    Think we will need a couple of quality signings to tempt a few more to buy. Hecky’s own signings, with the exception of Doidge are squad players.
    Not sure they are squad players. James and Jackson will both be pushing the current incumbents and newall,if he gets off to a flier with be pushing for a place. Certainly maybe not first picks but they have certainly strengthened the squad which is what we lacked in the second half of the season when Hecky barely used the so called squad players. They are players Hecky knows well and how to use them.

    Sales for FF Lower look a lot lower than in previous years, as there's still nearly 20% of seats free.

    I wonder if it's the new restrictions put in place... or just the increase in price that's made the difference.

    More room for walk up supporters and tickets available for big games which is a plus?
    And may look much more closer to full with less seats taken by regular non attenders?

    Poor considering they are a one-city club with a solid catchment population of 500,000 (excluding Angus). Unfortunately for them, they are very much the victims of their previous success - their fans still think they are famous, so 3rd is all very "meh".

    They will get a good bounce from their new stadium out at Kingswells, however having driven past it yesterday, it is miles away from Aberdeen city in the middle of a field with no train links etc. Think they will suffer in the long run with this decision.

    Hopefully, yeah.

    There's quite a few people that attend with kids and end up going into the South Stand, so it's entirely possible some of them will make use of the FF Lower instead,

    Unless Hibs have changed their policy from last season, you can’t buy a ticket in FFL, unless you have a kid with you

    So, Hibs confirm they have sold 12200 the other day, guess which other club then states they have sold 12500?

    Hint - they reek of small man syndrome, play in a smaller stadium, and have smaller average crowds last season.........

    Don’t forget a big chunk of hertz income comes from outside investment other than foh - so parallels there with the Aberdeen approach. That money could dry up at any time.

    I think their crowds wil taper off when they move. Be lucky if it's half full once the novelty wares off

    Have a feeling that there may be a lot less tickets now taken up in the FF or should I say the seats will not now be renewed for good reason as well. Thats not to say that seats will now be taken up by Parents with kids.

    There's a lot of single seats dotted about. End sections in east and west have plenty
