I think this has been addressed a couple of times - Scott Lindsay confimed at the last forum or meeting that 5,000 was the total tickets sold at the time which included new holders.

I don't know why that many believed that there would have been that many totally new ticket holders who bought just to get a cup final ticket. That never made much sense to me.

I always thought there would be a decent uptake on new tickets, in return for Cup Final tickets. I can't recall how many were available in terms of a public sale, and I know a number of people who could have taken two, only took one....I really thought we would have had more based on that.....I was slightly surprised at how low we are at this moment....

The challenge then (as another poster has pointed out) is to work out how 22,000 of our supporters got their hands on Cup Final tickets.

Makes for some tricky arithmetic, with a few heroic assumptions thrown in for good measure.

Was just looking at the thread on Alan Maybury and ended up looking to see where he all played before ST J, came across Liam Craigs profile
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Craig Says at the bottom hes set for a move to us?

Sorry if ive missed this earlier in the thread but has anyone heard any rumours about this?

Liam Craig always made a habit of scoring against us......(Not heard any rumours about him though)

It does appearing challenging BEEJ, If we are down on renewals, where did all the tickets go, and why was there such a panic regarding getting them?

I replied to someone who said just because he was in the English championship doesn't make him good enough for us. And then you said the Colin Murdoch and Galbraith post. you've just changed what you're talking about.

No i have not, and didnt actually say just because he was in the championship, doesnt make him good enough for us, you reallu ought to read what people say before you reply?

My quote about Murdoch and Galbraith only proves it does not matter where they play their football, some are decent others are poor. You were the one when replying to bingo, when he asked (So being good enough to be a reserve keeper in englands second league means he was good enough for us?)

Your answer was.

For me it does. Judging by the standard that same team set with the first choice they obviously know a good goalie when they see one.

Its you who has stated your opinion, nobody else??????

[Leishy1995]

I didn't mean to delete my reply. But it basically said I read something that wasn't there in your post regarding Murdoch. I am sorry for that.

So, any news on transfer progression?

[Rivers Cuomo]

Liam Craig is a good player, would be happy were this to come true.

Hibs went way OTT in giving the impression that Cup Final tickets were likely going to be allocated without a public sale. The only conclusion that could be drawn at the time (given that we knew that the other categories were relatively low on numbers) was that ST sales/renewals had rocketed.

Hanlon will start. Hopefully every game.

I hope your joking, I wouldn't say I'd be a bit bothered if I didn't see him play for hibs again.

I'm guessing they have sold a lot, but most of them will be for students/kids tickets.

So based on what we have at the moment, in some variation of a 4-5-1 formation...

Brown
Clancy
McPake
Hanlon
Booth
Wotherspoon
Claros
Osbourne
Crainey
Stevenson
Doyle

Then god help us for the new season

The defense has been strengthened partially, we still need an experienced keeper, another defender, 2 midfielders and 2 forwards as a minimum going into the new season IMHO!!!

[hibIBZ]

heard from a good source that hibs are still in for centre back lubomir michalik from carlisle. hibs only willing to make up his pay in appearance to money to match his demands so im led to believe

One Word.





















































Relegation.

[weecounty hibby]

Im by no means a super optomist but i have to say im a bit fed up hearing about how we will be relegated. Ffs every club in the spl is weaker than last year and we still have time tl the season starts. I have faith that PF will not only turn the tam around but hopefully the whole cub will get its act together

Its easy to pick holes when the windows just opened & we have made 3 signings..More to come says the manager & I believe him..Obviously with what we had left with the number of departures we were going to be weak, but thats not going to be the squad by the end of the window, judge it then..Or even better when the team actually kicks a ball..Negative vibes for no reason..

Absolutely right............I'll leave my reservations until we are into the season and have played some competitive games, as you say all teams will be weakened this season and PF will be able to make his own mark on the team

Yeah he said he wanted to bring in a striker and a goalkeeper, he may need to bring in two goalies if Brown doesn't agree terms with Hibs, new faces need to come in this week and we have to get the goalkeeping situation sorted this week coming.

There won't be much of Pat's budget left to bring in other players once he has got a goalie and striker in.

Maybe the Sol money and potential sale of Wotherspoon will add to his coffers SH.

I think we are at least 5 short squadwise. At least.

I would have thought money or some of it at least would have went towards the squad from our cup final run and that day, but seems not, PF is making it quite clear that only money from ST will be his budget for this year, so any money brought in from sale of DW wouldn't go to Pats Budget but more than likely pay of debts at the club, and LC FC will be lucky to see any money from the Turkish club.

As i said a goalie and a striker and that may well be Pat's budget finished for this window, which would be a bit scary, i spoke to someone through the week and they said PF was working his socks of trying to get players to come to the club, but he is finding it difficult to get them here, seemingly was disappointed in not securing the lad from Falkirk as had watched him a number of times last season and was a target for PF.

I really do hope he has brought plenty of luck from over the water as i think he will need it, an injury to say Mcpake and another player and we are in the deep stuff, we can only go up the way next season, if not then you no what happens.

Have to admit i am a bit worried about the season ahead TH.

On the good side is i have a pix n mix from Morrisons for the night ahead.

Don't worry yet, Rome wasn't built in a day. Few weeks till the first game and that's all that counts.

I also think you will have made some poor choices in that pic and mix
