Yeah same here. Won't go into details as I wouldn't throw the people who have told me things under the bus, but by all accounts there's quite a few he seems to have treated pretty appalingly.

The one that caught my eye big time was the two foreign lassies that left in Jan was it? Reports came out about him treating them poorly then him and his wife were very, very quick to tweet about it.

I didn't see that, what were they saying?

Next game up is this weekends derby at Easter Road.
It will very interesting to see how many supporters attend given they have to pay this time.
£10 for adults and £5 for all concessions.
All supporters are being housed in the West Lower.

It's also on Sky so some folk might prefer to have a night in instead and watch it on the tv.

I'm at a gig in Glasgow though so that's one that won't be making it.

Only a couple of hundred sold I’m told. Not surprised at those prices. You can watch Chelsea women in the UWCL for £10 adult and £2 children. Scottish womens football really needs to rethink the strategy.

In fairness, it's very easy for the EPL sides to subsidise their womens teams salaries / ticket prices

Think Hibs Women should target say 500 regular attendees - at whatever price point allows that - and look to grow naturally from there

You won’t get 500 people at a tenner. Not a chance. Needs to be almost zero and make money from concession stands etc. I realise that’s difficult now as I don’t think we get the money for that anymore? Under 16s need to be free of charge.

Without much insight into woman’s football in Scotland, surely the move towards full professional outfits is bad for the game? The funding of the erse cheek woman’s team has shifted the balance and the scores show how uncompetitive it has all become.

Given the challenges of funding and lack of commitment from supporters of the woman’s game to pay a tenner to watch them, it seems likely the OF will continue to hoover up the talent and routinely take the European places.

The scores have always been like that tbh. Just that Hibs used to be one of the top dogs. I don’t think professional football for women in Scotland is sustainable at the moment. But in a recent interview i noticed Dean mentioned it was a sustainable model they had. I can only assume that’s all from sponsorship? SWPL wanted to enforce £12 a ticket for all games. The people that run the SWPL need to wake up to reality.

[PHeffernan]

The obvious observation is that unless tickets are free very few supporters will attend Hibs womens games.
When I watch Hibs Women on YouTube it sounds like there are no more than 200 folk at our home games.
Of those folk at least half attendees will be family and friends of the players from both teams along with their kids so very few folk without direct connections appear to be attending.

My bro was chatting to a coach at St Johnstone, and a player as well (I think).

They said the Huns have out £2.5m into their team, and in 5 years time they Glasgow City will be at a Spartans level, claim they have sustainability issues.

Surprising about the number of tickers sold. There were probs at least 1000 at ER last season for the paid game against Partick. Wonder if it being a Saturday night is an issue, given the more family-orientation the women's game has.

[GreenCastle]

Ticket sales really poor for a live sky game. Not the best way to market the product and the clash with Hibs men’s game being away on same day?! Poor planning.

Is this not a capital cup clash? Doesn’t make sense.

Hibs should win this as Hearts have injuries.

Odd comment from Hibs coach saying playing at Easter Road is like a neutral venue - doesn’t make sense - plenty Hibs players played their loads.

[LewysGot2]

1-0 Hibs Adams

[marinello59]

No wonder Murray is questioning her booking, awful decision.,

They want to improve the product and image etc but at same time teams like Hibs and others probably suffer more as Rangers and Celtic spend more money than the rest - amounts Hibs and Hearts will never match. Double edged sword.

Hearts have got too big for their boots this season and need to be brought down a few pegs. Hibs have the history and previous success.

Winning the Derby will do for me tonight.

I’m sure the hearts number 6 is Peter Haring

The Hibs players have played at Tynie more too.

Tbf Hibs have a lot of key injuries right now too

[LewysGot2]

Notley smacks the crossbar. Unlucky

Think she’s going full time next season

[LewysGot2]

Pen HMFC

1-1

[marinello59]

No doubt about the penalty. And converted.all square now.

[oconnors_strip]

Hearts head coach booted the ball in to the stand, should have been booked for it!

[marinello59]

Good save from our keeper.

[cabbageandribs1875]

great save Haaland

hearts once again imo playing the better football

[marinello59]

Take the draw but disappointing we didn’t get the win.

Not a fan of the manager

[Brightside]

Poor game. Just like the mens game today

Yet to hear anyone say they are

Does it cost a fair amount of money to have the led advertising on ? Would have thought there was chance there to get some cash given it was on TV ?

Do they use the big screens at the ladies games ?

I've not seen a lot of games this season but on the few occasions I have, like tonight, we've been poor.

It's not just the injuries or Gibson though. Only Parry and Lockwood of the new recruits look to be an upgrade on what we already had.

Big screens and scoreboards were off tonight and I think the same at the previous derby.
