    The fan's will vote with their feet, the ones attending need to make our voices heard, that this is unacceptable.

    Hecky and some Board member's positions are now untenable in my opinion.

    I totally agree with you Baldy and sadly that includes Dempster for a disastrous appointment

    Sack him now to give the new manager time. Carry on with this and only give a manager from December is risky as we well no.

    stubborn dempster over to you.

    Heckingbottom’s a huddy but it’s a bit odd that you stuck with it through the likes of Duffy, Calderwood, Fenlon and Butcher, if you’re throwing the towel in now.

    It’s pish right now but no more pish than under any of those guys.

    We've all seen the film before this is only going to end one way. Championship here we come.

    I get it. I travel over 40 miles to go to Easter road and that's my closest stadium, away games are worse. Certainly until things get better you won't see me at any away games, it's just not worth the extra money only to leave dejected and raging. I can do that from the house, for free.

    I stopped going when Fenlon and Butcher were in charge and came back when Leeann an Stubbs came in.

    So you would sack Dempster for one bad appointment?! Wonderful.

    I think the club has to realize that while we have a hardcore section of the support that is probably around 9-10k the numbers above that will walk away if the product on show and results are bad.

    It took a lot of work to get to where we are in terms of number of season tickets, attendance figures, but it's now got to the point that it would be very easy to lose it all.

    I think a lot of the increased frustration is because we were promised an end to the 'boom and bust' when LD etc came in. There was a big deal made about succession planning, smooth transitions and continued improvement.

    Quite evidently that isn't the case and for whatever reason we have abandoned, or modified, a system that appeared to be working relatively well. When Calderwood, Fenlon etc were appointed the club was such a mess there was almost an expectation they would fail. We were told that isn't the case now yet here we are. Some people hang on every word Leeann Dempster says but if she really believes this has been a good transfer window then, to put it bluntly, she is very wrong. Just because she says it doesn't make it true.

    Hibs could be playing in an amateur league at the Gyle on a Saturday morning and I'd still be turning up to watch but I understand why people are pissed off enough to be giving games a miss at the moment. I don't agree with it but I get it. It's a very disappointing end to a period in which I really thought things had changed.

    I only go when things are good. Two defeats in a row and that's me out for a while.
    Nah I would rather be there telling those in charge I am unhappy than sitting at home regretting not being there.

    Lets be honest though. The whole club was a mess from top to bottom and the fans were being shortchanged by the club then , spending buttons on signings. I dont think we are anywhere near in that kind of position as a club now , we have a really poor manager who needs replaced and some of his signings need emptied that much is clear. I cant see him being here much longer to be honest, ive not spoken to one supporter who doesn’t want shot of him

    The worrying thing is the amount of fans saying the same that they have had enough brutal to watch.

    Sadly it’s not just his signings letting us down. Guys such as Hanlon, Stevenson and Whittaker to name but a few have been nothing short of awful. I can’t remember Paul Hanlon losing so many headed high balls. Whitty must have given his man marker ten - fifteen yards yesterday every single time. He was very lucky not to give away a penalty also.
    Whatever happened to this high press we were supposed to do? I saw Motherwell do it collectively but we are all over the place.

    So one bad appointment and the CEO goes? Ridiculous.

    I'll keep going to the home games, I've watched worse in 45+ years supporting Hibs, but don't blame anyone who stops. We as fans have two choices, vote with our feet or go to the games and make it clear that things aren't acceptable.

    A bit surprised at calls for LD to go, no doubt she's made mistakes and appointing Heckingbottom is the biggest of them all, but I'll give her a chance to take the required action before calling for her head.

    So to summarise: Some of you are only willing to support the team and club through the good times.

    The Lennon “situation” was hardly held wonderfully either.

    Nope, I demonstrated my disgust with my feet by not going, change was needed and unless you start demonstrating not going is one of the few ways to show the owners/management that your not happy. My season ticket was paid for so the club still got my money, they just didn't get my support.

    Lennon caused that all by himself by his conduct and certain things said to his boss which would get you sacked in any job.

    I disagree. Some of the things I heard about Lennon getting rid of him was 100% the correct decision IMO. Yes I'd loved to have heard the specifics but it doesn't always work that way and sometimes as fans we have to accept we won't get every detail.

    If you stop going everytime Hibs are crap you will have missed more than you watched in the last 30 years
