    I'm mildly embarrassed by how few fans we'll take up to Pittodrie, yes.

    The point of my post was much more to dispel this myth that all of our 16,000 home match attendees would go to away games if they had the money/time. It's categorically untrue, and it's unfair on those who genuinely can't make it because of financial reasons that the people who just can't be arsed use them as human shields.

    Why can't people just be honest? Well over half of our season ticket base has zero interest in attending away games unless it's Tynecastle or (at a push) somewhere like Livingston or Dunfermline.


    yeah right, and face the wrath from a select few superfans on here

    OK, I'll be honest.

    I have a job and a life, with Hibs only being part of that, which means I'll be watching from the sofa with a large dram and hoping for a win.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    im the same these days, years ago i used to get folk to come in early for me, or take a few hours annual leave for games outwith a saturday or sunday. Now i really cant be bothered going all the way up to aberdeen and the likes after a long shift and would rather watch it in the house

    Can’t speak for the other ‘superfans’, but I much prefer people just saying they’ve got other things to do instead/don’t want to go. As long as they can then see that the same 500-1,000 who go to Pittodrie every time should be given first refusal on a single ticket for Tynecastle, Parkhead and Ibrox while the demand is high.

    No one has to explain themselves whether or not they go. But I do agree with your point that the regulars should get 1st refusal on the harder to get tickets.

    Should we start a loyalty scheme! for these fans.

    it’s always the same people spouting the same *****, I can’t be arsed with all this. I also go to 95% of games just don’t feel the need to shout about all the time. I also never said I wasn’t going, and will probably be just one off the same old faces, although I wasn’t at tynecastle couldn’t get a ticket.
    If we had loyalty points....... maybe just maybe you would have been at Tynecastle.

    I’m buzzing for tomorrow night.

    Whether you’re at the game with me, or down the Leith boozers, I hope you have a belter!

    STFU with the holier than thou bitching, and get psyched up!

    Think we will be lucky to take 500 up tomorrow. Hopefully we are rewarded with 3 points. Our record v Aberdeen isn't great lately.

    We’ll take more than that.

    Won’t be remotely close to selling out like in May but think you could probably double your prediction. We took a healthy crowd up for the Saturday lunch time game just before Christmas last year.

    Hope everyone who travels has a great night and safe journey and we come back with the points.

    My lounge is decked out in green and white already. Will be watching on the box but will be loud and proud (sorry neighbours)

    'Mon the Hibs

    Good chance of rain tomorrow night so no bad thing that the uncovered seats have not been sold.

    I believe only Block R has been on sale to us, I may be mistaken though.

    We'll take nearer 1000 I think, decent enough, twice as much as Aberdeen and Hearts managed to take to Celtic Park this season for Saturday 3pm kick-offs - and both supports love a seat count!

    Strange what an extra hour's travelling can do to our support though. Did we not play Dundee Utd twice on Friday nights through there in the championship and managed around 3000 fans for it both times?

    My honest opinion is i can't be arsed travelling to Aberdeen and back on a Friday night. Rather crack open a nice bottle of red and watch it on the box after a hard week. That ok?

    Absolutely! Thanks for the honesty and hope we’re both celebrating come the final whistle, enjoy the game.

    Hibs saying we've sold 1000 tickets - that's a really good effort IMO, hopefully the travellers are rewarded with a good result.
    Mon the Hibs.
