    The only evidence I have are the people on here who said they have bought tickets so I can say with some authority that we have sold in excess of 216 tickets for this semi.

    To quote an earlier poster "wake up and smell the coffee"

    We've been crap all season. I'd suggest the number would be more like 170

    But does a 'source' beat a 'contact'? That's the big question..
    Definitely not!

    A 'source' is usually quite unreliable, I find. Like the guy that said Craig Whyte was a billionaire.

    But did Sir Minty's 'contacts' not identify him as a 'reliable' individual?

    (my source tells me this was the case)

    Got ours :)! Looking forward to it, Hampden is a good day out, just hope the result doesn't spoil it as it unfortunately has done on many previous occasions! A big hibs crowd making lots of noise will give the boys a lift and will make it a great atmostphere that will hopefully see us through to the cup final!

    Kick off time is pretty **** but lets not let it spoil a good day out at Hampden!

    Hibs never do themseves any favours with their PR. I think regardless (and especially if) we win tomorrow, PF should come on after the game and drum up support for next week. He should be saying that the Hibs.net folk have organised a 'green day' occasion and that is a fantastic tribute to our fans. Even if you hav'nt been for years, get along to Hampden for a great day out. Wear something green and bring your flags with you. We've been jobbies for a couple of years now but its the SC semi final. Come along and support your team. But Hibs will say sweet FA as usual, pants PR. We had a look at the online store today, my wife wants a stupid hat but hey, they're not even trying to shift stuff for the semi. Fricken amateurs.

    I know that but what I'm trying to say is that they don't advertise anything and there is nothing on line. My point is about PR and NOT what they've got in the shop!

    Advertise what? That we play Aberdeen next week in the cup semi final? I'm not really sure that need advertised tbh. Most Hibby's I know are aware of the match.

    I'm sure once the Motherwell match is done and dusted the site will be full of stuff building up to the semi final.

    Sure, the club shop isn't updated as regular as it maybe should be but you could always give them a call?

    I think you've totally missed the point, its never good not to advertise. There is thousands of Hibs fans going to watch it on TV, why not try to give them a reason to go. Its all about selling the idea to folk, no??

    Beating Motherwell on Sunday would be a start.

    Nope, I don't think I have missed the point. I've read through your post and there's nothing too complicated for me to understand.

    You said that PF should come out after the game tomorrow and "drum up support for the semi". The game hasn't been played yet. I'm sure PF will or are you psychic?

    You then said he should be saying "that the Hibs.net folk have organised a 'green day' occasion and that is a fantastic tribute to our fans. Even if you havn'nt been for years, get along to Hampden for a great day out. Wear something green and bring your flags with you. We've been jobbies for a couple of years now but its the SC semi final. Come along and support your team"

    Maybe he will after tomorrows game?

    You then bumped your gums about your wife wanting a "stupid hat" and complained that they're "not even trying to shift stuff for the semi" and called them "fricken amateurs". I happily pointed out that they are selling 'stupid hats' in the club shop?

    On the subject of PR. You're kind of right. I've just read through the informative PR piece written and displayed on the website this week from RP and he makes no mention of 'stupid hats'. I've also read the latest piece of PR from our manager and yet again, he mentions nothing about 'stupid hats'.

    You'd be well within your rights to send the club an email and complain

    I'm no expert but maybe punting a few 'stupid hats' isn't the clubs main priority before an important league match?

    Exactly

    We all know that next weeks match is a "biggie" but lets concentrate on tomorrow's "biggie" first.

    I'm sure the club will fill our boots next week with cup-semi PR and hype. In the meantime I'm glad the club have concentrated on focusing on the Motherwell match first.

    One game at a time and all that.

    That's nothing... I have inside info from Hibs, Sheep and Hampden who have all confirmed that Hibs will be wearing green strips and wait for it....The sheep will be wearing Red strips...

    I can't reveal my sources but they have driven past all 3 stadiums in the last 10 years...

    I'm just pointing out that there is an advertising opportunity here that the club never seems to adopt. I'm sure every cpmpany in the world faced with a sales oportunity would have something on line to order. I can get my hats and scarfs from the weegie mob on the way to Hampden or get the old stuff out the loft. I'm trying and hoping that every Hibby that can go, will go. Not looking for my post to be taken to bits.

    TBH I wasn't intending taking your post to bits. Just when you suggested that I had totally missed your point I felt the need to.

    Merely to satisfy myself that I hadn't missed your point.

    I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping that your wife gets her 'stupid hat' for the big day

    Anyway, Barca game is on...

    There was advertising on the official site a week or so ago, A) offering bundles for semi, assuming it included hats, foam finger/hands etc.....B) a page regarding the green day that is being planned from sect43 and 12th men guys.....

    According to the guy in the ticket office we have sold just over 3/4 of our 15000 allocation so around 11500 shifted already. That was at noon yesterday.

    I really hope we get to the final (stating the bleeding obvious I know ) but as much for the bleating from those that can't get their hands on a ticket due to not being a ST holder / Next season ST holder / Member / SF stub holder.....


    Let the whinging begin.....OH and in case you didn't realise...No sympathy will be shown

    My mate has been ill for a while, and not been for over a year, and after todays game has decided he wants to go next week. I have just booked him on the train with us, and was wondering if he'd be able to buy a ticket at the game from a booth, or will he have to get one from easter road?

    Can't remember what was done in the past? Were SF stubs able to be used for a final?

    Don't think so..but check with SFA (although it would be a neutral are if so. Clubs get their allocations direct. Can someone not buy at Hibs TO and meet you with it on Sat
