Great signing for Hibs. Weakens their nearest rivals. She’s a young dynamic centre mid and has been outstanding for Spartans this season

might pop along :)

Any idea why the Women's kit doesn't have a sponsor again this season?

Would have thought it made sense for Utilita to sponsor both men and women, particularly given the rising profile of the women's game.

I have enjoyed watching the womans team in recent years and was hoping to catch them more often, but the strange livi move decision has put paid to that.

For me it's a shame we are not pushing the womans team more. We seem to be building a good side and players like murray, boyle and hunter are great club ambassadors. It would be sad to watch the old firm and others overtake us when we have been so competitive for years.
Personally I would play nearer ER and allow first team season ticket holders in for free to boost crowds and engagement.
The womans game has kicked on down south and would love our club to push our side a bit more to keep up.

I would agree that we should be playing nearer ER if not at ER. Letting our season ticket holders in free will not work as Hibernian women have their own Season ticket

I know that, but feel we missed a trick in not offering that bonus to first team season ticket holders to grow supporter connections to the womans team.

**hibby rae** · 06-09-2021 01:22 PM

Can an admin change the thread title to Hibernian Women?

They don't use Ladies anymore as a name.

Agree with most of that. Although I'd still like to charge for entry as this is probably their main strand of funding. Perhaps offer deals on pricing though?

I was hoping they'd play at Meadowbank. Should be opening soon. Not only is the Livi stadium a pain to get to if you don't drive. There's also limited options for pubs etc.

***Brightside*** · 06-09-2021 02:14 PM

Mickey already proving to be a great signing. Weaken the neighbours and strengthening the core.

Our club appear to have pushed our side right enough ......out of Edinburgh and far away out of sight.
Perception has got to be they are not really interested.

***AugustaHibs*** · 06-09-2021 03:06 PM

Easter road pitch has had enough issues in recent years without another team playing on it consistently.

Ron was at the game as the weekend. So if he's gone out of his way to go to Livi to watch it there must be interest. They've also signed a lot of players this season which suggests more focus.

pubs I'd agree with, ease of access not so much. It’s a 5 minute walk from the bus station in Livi, and a similar distance from either train station as ER from Waverley - albeit it’s all downhill going to the stadium, and all uphill on the way back, to both stations

Yeah but the bus takes forever, and your life force is drained out of you as your are forced to see Livingston.

I got told on Saturday that They’ve got to use a ground that has seating for 2500.

That's good.
Why did they move away from Ainslie Park?

Think bod has just answered me

Why would they need 2,500 seats.
I presume they will average attendances of less than 10% of that.

***bod*** · 06-09-2021 07:13 PM

Canny mind,had a few beers by then

**Since90+2** · 06-09-2021 07:14 PM

I would imagine they'll get a few hundred at best at Livingston. Will seem virtually empty.

Think they should have played at some where like Meggetland. Decent enough setup close to the centre of Edinburgh.

A few hundred would be remarkable wouldn’t it?

250 is the rule. A 250 covered strand.

Nothing to do with seats. Their booking was ended early. Meadow bank isn’t available yet. Livi was basically one of very few options left. I’d imagine they will try and get a 250 seater stand up at HTC soon enough.

Is it just for this season then?

Could Meadowbank be a possibility next season? HTC stikes me as being even harder to get to.
