    Where was everybody?

    More seats than fans there tonight. ST holders watching it on the telly?

    Couldn’t be arsed after Saturday tbh.

    OF games used to generate a lot of interest, now they’re an irrelevance. Nobody is bothered. We don’t have anything like financial parity so we’re cast in the role of plucky underdogs. And you have to listen to tiresome professional celebrators pretending to be football fans/freedom fighters/sectarian bigots/imperialist lackeys etc etc.

    Games against Hearts/Aberdeen/and other top six contenders hold far more interest.

    Can you blame them after Saturday? I was there but can’t grudge anyone not wanting to go out and travel to a game on a cold February evening after recent performances.

    Play like we played tonight more often and maybe some will be more inclined to come?

    Did have a chuckle when they announced the attendance as 18,300 odd

    What was the breakdown of empty seats to fans then as you obviously counted them all.

    Show your working out please

    Can’t blame them after Saturday.

    Players can’t also expect the fans to turn out in numbers for the big games when they play brutal a couple of days before - especially on a Wednesday night and on tv.

    No wins in 7 which Sky said is our worst run since 2019.

    Play better and get better results and the fans will come back in their numbers.

    I actually watched it on my phone but airplayed it to the tv, does that count?

    I understood why folk didn’t turn up tonight. I didn’t quite get the exodus when they got the penalty and we still had 6 or 7 minutes to play having put so much in to it.

    I didn't understand that either tbh. They could have missed it and like you say we still had a few minutes to play.

    Hibs have great fans - who have been patient watching some absolute crap last few years.

    Most other clubs wouldn’t get anywhere near what we have during the bad times.

    Can fully understand why some folk didn’t go tonight especially after Sundays awful game.

    I only went because I was fortunate enough to be away and miss the **** show on Saturday, plus I can walk to the ground. 2 from our group never bothered, they live out of Edinburgh and couldn’t be arsed after Saturday. Don’t blame them tbh.

    I can't take the bairns to midweek games and I'll hold my hands up that I just couldn't be arsed tonight after recent performances.

  18. #17
    Club didn’t exactly do much to make get the fans up for the game/excited

    What’s happened to all the pre match stuff ? The music/ light show we seen for the derby

    I couldn't be arsed going, I've had a season ticket for about 30 years and have stayed to the end of some truly awful games, I've vowed that these days I've built up enough toil over the years that I don't in the slightest bit feel guilty for not attending when I haven't been enjoying it

    Hibs played really well and were unlucky, if we can string a few more performances like that together then then I will be more inclined to make an effort to attend

    This does not entice anybody to attend a football game.

    "You going to the game on Saturday Stevie?" "Nah Davie - no pre match light show announced".

    I've not really recovered from the LJ era. I like Monty and am pleased to see him trying to implement a style but I got out of the habit of making the extra effort to clear some time when I'm already busy on match days, despite having a ST.

    No that it’s anyone’s business but I was working!

    I’ve looked through all the reasons why folk didn’t go tonight and fair play that’s their prerogative but as I’ve always said, put a winning team on the park and you’ll fill the stands!

    I actually didn’t think it was that cold tonight, certainly not the freezing cold experience I was expecting.

    There's a lot of apathy, which I accept. However tonight showed why we should never just give up on our team. Support through thick and thin. They deserved more tonight and I was pleased they were applauded off. There's hope yet!

    They maybe didn't fancy watching out latest defeat on a winter Wednesday night.

    Crap attendance says poster who watched it on the telly (as did I for the avoidance of doubt)

    Hats off to those that went after Saturday's debacle. At least you got rewarded with a proper performance for most of the game.

    I know every team does it these days but I always cringe when they announce the attendance as 18k+ when in reality that's just seats sold. You Look around with almost entire rows empty.

    I never cringe tbh, I take pride I'm there backing the team

    Place looked dead with 10 mins to go but was pleasantly surprised with how it filled up. First half was edgy but place came alive, as did the team, in the 2nd half.
