    Pretty good attendance from the Hibs fans today, over 75% of the crowd.

    What was the atmosphere like at the match?

    Subdued for most of it - a combination of fare on the pitch and the sun baked terrace and stands. The latter for me is a good example of why Sumner Football is a no for me. Put the same crowd in the stadium under the lights in autumn/winter and the atmosphere would have been far better in my opinion.

    What about under a freezing, miserable Saturday afternoon?

    I agree . In the summer there are far more alternatives to watching football on a Saturday afternoon - fishing , golf , bowls , holidays , days out with family , big events like golf and tennis on telly , plus all the other alternatives which are relevant all year ( work ,family commitments etc ) . In countries like Ireland and Denmark which play in summer they play a lot of games in evenings especially on Fridays . Anyway , in Scotland there already is summer football with playoffs and cup final at end of May , friendlies starting in late June and competitive matches starting in mid July . Am aware that there are `problems with having clubs preparing for Euro matches in July or even June and with internationals at end of season but maybe time to reduce number of league matches and / or get rid of winter break so league can finish in late April with cup final first weekend of May like before ( think I read in 2020 too ) with no other competitive club matches till late July or early August .

    It was quiet, but there was nothing to get excited about. The weather was a lot better than the match.

    I was wondering how Glencoe was getting a mention on the main board.

    It was definitive proof that having a standing area is not a magical solution for poor atmosphere at games
