Dont you know that Hibs fans are unique in being the only ones to get restless when they see their team drop 10 yards to defend a 1 goal lead?
Hibs fans = bad.

I think there may well be in certain games, like nervy last five minutes for example.
But there is a flip side to that, that we might find it harder to build momentum and pressure if we are behind with 10 to go.
I think lack of crowds will make small differences, but it wont be to anyone's particular advantage, it will change depending on circumstances.
Also wonder if fewer bookings will happen?

The Hibs support has always been quick to criticise and get on players backs as long as I have been going to Easter Road, some folks ain't happy if they don't have something to moan and shout about it seems.
Maybe not having the boo boys at the stadium targeting their player of choice this season for 90 minutes is actually a help? Who'd have thought it!

You’re right, the questions not weird, it’s absurd.

Fans will get negative at the right time. It's a fact of life in football. If a poor defence is inviting attacks or a stubborn manager wont change things we'll react. It is less of an issue if you have a good manager managing a good team. The only things that really influence results are the actions on the park.
Currently we have a good manager managing some good players. That is the reason for our good start. Not the lack of fans. I doubt Heckingbottom would have fared any better last year behind closed doors with his style and his players. That wasn't negative fans at work I'm damn sure of that.
I reckon as a fan base we'd have got nervous at the end of the Dundee Utd. game - of course we would- but it would have made no difference. The team had that one. They were good.
This is a good group and they will continue to be when we're allowed back to see them.

Not sure it’s made that much of a difference. Ourselves and Ross County seem to be well up for the games and well prepared. Teams like Hamilton etc seem to be in pre season mode. If it is helping though long may it continue.

Question: Would you be happy to only ever watch Hibs playing on TV with no crowds if they kept winning?
And “no” should always be the answer to that

It was a light hearted, clearly hypothetical question which in my opinion was jumped on.

How about the club goes further, sells ER for housing and relocates to a simple, four-walled football arena. The walls could be utilised to generate TV advertising income. Meanwhile we can all sit back in comfort at home and watch Hibs (unhindered by edgy fans) winning week in, week out

People out there believe Hibernian is a better thing with no spectators as we all make it really bad, and is something best left to the telly as we have won three games mum.
Just like it is supporting somebody like Brazil or Boca or Australian teams and that.
Or Basketball. Or the moon.
As Bad Martini used to say...END OF.

Flip side of the debate yesterday. Could we have done with the fans there to kick-start us into action and roar us to victory?
Or would having fans there have seen us lose the game as they boo-ed the sub-standard performance and unnerved the players?
We'll never know of course, although it's probably fair to say that 'home' advantage may prove to count for less this season if crowds continue to be kept away. It'll be interesting to see how clubs' home and away records compare.
