Season tickets hit 10,000

[danhibees1875]

10k is superb.

My understanding is that whilst new ST holders could buy they probably weren't the target market so this is largely 10k renewals out of our current ST pool which is really good going.

[Hibs4185]

I started going late 80’s and early 90’s.

I’m sure crowds were around 8,000 for some games.

Unbelievable sales

Did your phone move to BST a day early?

My photo from the west definitely has the Saints goalie in yellow at the FF end.
There must have been two rainbows. 😂
If I knew how to upload a photo I would!

This pic definitely taken just before half time as the east was pretty full on Saturday

There were plenty of empty seats in the East on Saturday, I commented to my son about it during the game. And there were two separate rainbows.

Its an incredible upturn particularly given that 40 years ago there wasn't the chasm between the OF and the rest

i can go back to 4 and 5 thousand crowds for some games early 80s and a game vs the huns probably 1982 where I'm sure the crowd was about 8500.

The demographic of our crowds has changed hugely in the last 40 years, I'm guessing because its a safer and more family orientated atmosphere. There's a huge number of women and children going compared to the 80s. I also get the feeling, totally unscientifically based on some of the folks that sit around me, that we attract a more middle class crowd now and I'm in the East. Doesn't seem to be as much mainly gadgies now . And Edinburgh now being a major city-break destination there's visitors coming to games that never used to.

I sit in the East and there’s not a lot of Gadgies beside us ‘ myself and my m8 are a couple of Lochend gadgies

Remarkable stuff, I wonder how many folk haven't renewed on last season?

I long for the days I can afford the time and cash to buy one. Hopefully with the 2 junior Jones' in tow. Mrs Jones will be a hard no I imagine but you never know!

As a regular in the Turnbulls era perhaps one of the reasons for the low crowds was the delapidated state of Easter Rd at the time. eg ladies toilets almost non existent, gents toilets you just pee'd against a wall in a ramshackle outbuilding whilst standing in a 4 inch pool of urine and as for a sit down ,,,,,,,, nah, don't go there. We also had next to no catering back then and what there was was basically a pie and bovril.

Also limited cover from the elements and not a very friendly area under the shed/cave where in matches against the big 3 it was often like a full scale battle zone. Add in that the crowd was nearly all male and not averse to singing ditties about women getting parts of their bodies out to show the men!! Definitely not family friendly.

Now we have all covered, all seated and mostly dry seats with plenty loos and food outlets. Also segregation from the away nutjob fans.
All this combined makes for a better experience

So you’re saying we’d get 13,000 if we had hot water in the toilets?

8,000 was a pretty decent crowd for some games in that period.

A lot of crowds below that, some as low as 4/5k.

On a similar topic we really could be doing with somehow making it easier to get out the East from the back at full time. As soon as the board goes up it EMPTIES, even when winning. People are doing it cos it takes so long to get out but there was hardly anyone left in the East when the penalty went it in Saturday.

The fans wanted a single tier stand so they got one. If you want out quicker at the end of games switch to the prawn sandwich stand

Bang on

When I started going in the 70s women and girls at games were few and far between, now they are probably not far off a 6th of our crowd and that's probably true for most clubs. I think back in the day fathers uncles and grandads hardly ever thought of taking a wee lassie along, now it's something they don't think twice about ... in fact now you see wee kids being taken along by their mums, never mind dads etc.

Even though they were practically forced into it by Hillsborough and Hysel, clubs have improved their facilities massively in the last 30 years and the change in demographics is as much a reflection of that as anything else.

My photo is timed at 1544. So it was taken just before half time. The empty seats are because of the early pie munchers migration

Saturday was a bit weird. 5 minutes before KO the east wasn't even half full, but by the time the game was 5 minutes old it was far fuller, probably 5,000 or so.

The trouble with the east is that if you want a pie at half time you have to get moving before the whistle goes just to get onto the east concourse. It's the same at full time, folk up the back start leaving before the end so they don't have to stand on the stairs for 5 minutes, probably one of the reasons there was only about 2000 folk left in the east to watch Bowie's penalty on Saturday.

The facility does exist to put a 1st floor onto the east and create new 'vomitoriums' half way up the stand ( thanks to Anne Budge ) Though I can't help thinking if that's ever to happen it would be as part of a bigger stadium upgrade in the FF / east corner. A long way off, but something Hibs simply have to keep on the table if the club is to progress into the 21st century. Maybe we could get the billionaire part owners to pay for it all before we get to the clubs 200th anniversary.
