Season ticket sales

From 1976 until 40 years later winning the cup, there was only 11 season we got more than 11,500 as the average attendance and most of them were around that. We'll get probably 50% more than we had on average for those 40 years when you add in walk ups.

The crowds the last 5 years are massive and have only been bettered in the 10 years after the second World War

It's much more even week to week in these days of a small all seater stadium but a high number of STs. Even in the low crowd days of the 80s we could pull in 30K for a derby but you'd regularly get just a few thousand for some of the less exciting games.

Could obviously be talking complete pish, but surely Edinburgh as a city has grown quite a bit in those 40 years? So would expect more Hibs fans along with that?

It has bur not as big as the jump. The jump came directly after the Scottish. Literally changed everything and added 50% to our crowds. It's stayed there roughly too. I think people just get into the habit, crowds are good all over Scotland though right now

We were talking about the George Best season at work. 22k in his first home game and the few games after it but then dropped to 4k a couple of games due to us being crap I presume, 1100 the last game against Partick, were we already relegated?

30k is a heck of a stretch. Generally our derby crowds in 80's would be between 17-22k with Hearts often outnumbering us unfortunately. We must have had the biggest 'away end' in Scottish football.

Hearts never sold out the old Dunbar end during the 80s. Mercer asked Hibs for more tickets and Kenny Waugh showed them the sales for the Dunbar End which was under capacity every game.

The Gorgie Road end at Tynie was bigger than our Dunbar end. Both teams also got the wing stand and enclosure.

Yeah, you're right, should've looked it up.

27K to see Eddie May win the 89 Ne'erday game was the biggest in that decade. Last 30k derby at ER was 1976. Don't think you're right about outnumbering as others have said.

I remember being at tiny a couple of times when they had to "extend" the away end round the corner and towards the shed. Must have been 10k plus in the gorgie road end.

The away end held about 7-8k. In my lifetime they have never outnumbered us at Easter Road. They might think they have but reality is somewhat different.

The away end held 10k back in the terracing days.

Yep, their away end stretched round toward that roof, which had benched seats under it, in the late 80s/early 90s before they built the bus shelters.

I can remember a 29,000 Hibs v Hearts game in the 90’s but looking back old programmes can only see a couple of 27,500 crowds in 1989.

Biggest crowd in the 90's at Easter Road was 21,657 at the derby on 2nd January 1993.

You'd be looking at the 70's early 80's for crowds of 29,000.

[Chorley Hibee]

Further details on crowds at ER against Hearts.

Biggest crowd in my lifetime was the 27,219 who attended on 4th January 1989.

Last 30k plus attendance v Hearts was the 39,293 who attended on 1st January 1976.

Nope.

I'm saying there were some games when the crowds were lower where I reckon they outnumbered us - I didn't say every time. Like I say, check some of the old videos and you'd be hard pushed to say it didn't look like they had as many in the ground as us. That Dunbar end was huge and they also had the south part of the main stand and the enclosure.

We also had a few massive supports at Tynie where it may have been around 50/50.

Point I was really making is that our support is much bigger now than it used to be.

That’s the one I’m looking at in an old programme I have from April 1989 where that game on January 4th was listed as 27,500 (probably rounded up) I was there.

It’s also worth remembering that both Hearts and Hibs fans got half the main stand at both grounds then, It would be very likely that the away fans could and probably did outnumber the home fans on the odd occasion at both stadiums depending how good/bad both teams were doing at the time.

Can't remember when they put the fence up to separate the away end from the east terracing but before that the away "end" could creep well into the east terracing

The fence went up late 70s. Before that it was mixed so not really an away end...unless it was the huns..

I always wondered why Hertz didn't extend that shed to cover the school end and up to the away terrace .... It would have made it quite an imposing ground, for those times. Mind you, I always wondered what Easter Road would have looked like with a massive shed over the full east terrace ... what a place that would have been

I've not renewed...YET, but cost, loss of family time, detachment and inaction from our board on various issues, have left me contemplating taking the walk-up option for the first time in years.

Still not convinced by our management and board either.

Interested to hear what you think our board should be doing better with the money available?

I'm particularly disappointed with their shambolic signing policy last season (which cost us 3rd place and access to millions of pounds from Europe).

The failed development squad.

Their tone deaf policy with regards the Huns at Easter Road.

Still no update on the assault of our player at Tynecastle.

Our ever decreasing allocation at Tynecastle (despite them getting an entire stand at ER).

The two tiered ticketing system that they've now introduced to fleece more money out of fans (diluting the value of a season ticket even further).

Their inability to deal with the empty Famous Five lower every season (Just allocate it to the Ultras and get rid of the continual experiments that result in no change whatsoever).

I'm actually concerned by the money we are currently losing, and the loans we're taking on board, as opposed to what we're spending.

That’s a decent list to be fair. 😂

I agree with a lot of this. People have been banging on about the FFL for years and now Aberdeen and Hearts are both ahead of us with their ultras directly behind the goals. We've got to have had the longest trial period for any club. Playing catch up as usual when we should have been ahead of the curve. Can't dare upset the people that sit there though. We are also far to soft of both Rangers fans behaviour and our small allocation at Tynecastle.
