    Announcement

    Thought id share a wee rumour, that efter such a grim evening, may cheer up a few disillusioned souls...

    Guy in high vis vest & builders helmet (I have no idea in what capacity he is employed) suggested that Hibs are to make an announcement tomorrow regarding the new East Stand. Claimed that the build was a month ahead of schedule and that they hoped it would be available for the Rangers game. Could make sense; releasing some relatively good news following such a disappointment?

    Dont shoot the messenger (Im usually very much out the loop when it comes to goings on at Easter Road) just thought Id share the info and mibbes lift the gloom a little...

    I have never liked Yogi from the start, and whilst I thought he was honest in Holland, tonight just drained it all away again.... How he can say the players gave their all is beyond me....

    The big announcement should be that they are giving the whole East stand to Rangers in a few weeks time as we wont fill it. May aswell make some £££££s somewhere unless the club bring in a proper, experienced manager to manage the club.

    First home game of the season in our new stand. If Hughes is still around maybe we'd be better to give it to the Huns for the day.

    What a dreary place this forum is these days as intellectual pygmies queue up to throw their wet blankets over anything positive.

    To be honest Brockie I wouldn't have faulted the players for effort, my comment would be that they wren't good enough.

    The thing is, if we packed our team full of eastern europeans who were more techinical they'd get slaughtered by our fans for being too lightweight and having no heart when it came to SPL games.

    Scottish football is rank and most fans get a hard-on when they see a one two in the opposition half. Technically superior players are dragged down to SPL level and we suck the life and talent out of our young players by 'bulking them up for the SPL'. It's how we turn great prospects into huddies that never develop into what we thought they'd be. It also sucks the pace out them.

    The mindset needs to change for scottish football and until it does it will always be *****. Get used to it (not directed at you btw).

    Well when i asked about tickets for the Rangers game at the ticket office , they said they were waiting on the completion certificate for the East before they were going on sale. Bearing in mind the game is on TV, I can see the Hibs end being half empty. Its about tiome we got ourselves cheerleaders then we could guarantee some sort of entertainment.

    I think the lack of pace in the team makes it look like they aren't trying at times. Only Deek and Bamba would be in with a chance of their 1st XI. Maribor are a decent side but will probably lose to Palermo in the next round.

    Back to the OP and I am looking forward to taking my seat in the new stand. Even if the stadium is half full most weeks, at least those of us in the East can enjoy a good sing song and get a bit of atmosphere going.

    If the East is open for the buns game then i would think it would be more logical to make it pay at the gate for home fans, it wont be filled, unless the novelty of the opening of the new stand adds thousands to the gate?

    Yes, agree totally. And English football is just a better funded version of the same thing, with all the flair, outside of Wayne Rooney, provided by foreign players.

    Attitudes need to change.

    Heard today that rangers initial allocation is only 900, or something around that, which suggests that at the moment they're still unsure.

    They probably expect it to be open but are going with the official line it won't until they're 100% sure

    If this guy was standing beside a red indian, a sailor and an American cop, I think we should be deeply worried.

    Give the East up to RangersSums up the stinking attitude of a section of Hibs fans nowadays.
