No season tickets for me this season. I was diagnosed with brain cancer 1 July last year. Still on chemotherapy so need to take each day / week as it comes. We still get our football fix though as we bought season tickets for our local team, Forfar Athletic. just over £200 for two for the season.

That's terrible news seems to happening all to much recently with a few of my friends also.
I wish you all the best with your treatment and it works out .

Very sorry to hear that. Hope that goes well for you.

Nobody should ever feel guilty about not buying a season ticket. Not a chance.

Go and support your team when you can whether that's 20, 10 or once a season. We're all Hibbys.

This for me too. If all you can afford is one or two games, or you live so far away being a regular is out of the question, but you still watch the club when you can, then you are every bit as good a fan as somebody who is lucky enough to be able to afford a season ticket, or even follow the club home and away.

The ones who boil ma pish are the ones who claim to be Hibs fans, but refuse to follow Hibs to games at Hampden against the likes of Hearts or Celtic, not because of the cost, but because they can't bear the thought of seeing us lose to Hearts in a semi, or think we have no chance against Celtic. What use are they to this club by refusing to turn up when the players need them the most?

The fans in reality don't affect the opposition, but the number of them and the noise they make can certainly affect the confidence and desire to try their hardest of the players they are there to support. If proof of that was required, during the covid season away wins in the EPL averaged higher than in any EPL season before or since.
I can only imagine how the Hibs players felt when they ran out at Hampden for the 2019 league cup semi final against Celtic to see that we had only sold around 6000 tickets, I know my hearts absolutely sank when I entered the stadium to realise we only had half of one end, and even that wasn't full.
Or against Hearts in the 2022 Scottish cup semi to see that Hearts had sold nearly double the tickets we had. When it comes to especially games like that Hearts one, you are not just avoiding the pain of defeat by refusing to go, you are ensuring that it's more likely that pain will be inflicted. Go you

They sold out their allocation and we didn't. And that's always disappointing. But nearly double? No chance

Aye ok, maybe somewhat of an exaggeration, but the crowd was 37,000 ...... If they did sell out, which is what it looked like to me on the day, that would be about 23,000 leaving us with 14,000 .... maybe not double, but certainly a big enough disparity of support that it would have encouraged their players seeing a full end and at the very least disappointed ours to run out to a two thirds full Hibs end.

For a club that's easily capable of selling out an allocation for Hampden to take an away support to a derby semi final that hardly even reached our average home league support at the time could be called 'disappointing' ..... I have other expressions for it.

Your point is spot on mate. From memory it was around 22k against our 15k. The ones who were there on the day got behind the team but numbers wise it certainly wasn't our finest hour.

Terrible news, hope you make a good recovery. I've seen Forfar a couple of times pre season, at Luncarty and h v Montrose. Been impressed by their performances. As my son lives there, on the Dundee Road, I'm sure I'll take in further matches this season 👍

Stevie T. Stay strong buddy. I’ve lost too many people recently to cancer and it’s a horrible disease. May Hibs doing well keep you going and we’ll see you soon behind the goals. Beating the Hearts ideally. Have a bridiefor me 👍💚

So, nowhere near double.

The crowd was 37,000 .... they had at least 22,000 .... The fact you are able to correctly point out it wasn't actually double ( I was happy to admit it was an exaggeration in a reply to another poster ) shouldn't be viewed as any sort of 'gotcha' mate. Like it or not they still backed their team in significantly bigger numbers than we did that day.

It didn't make me sad or embarrassed, they are feelings reserved for real life, just incredibly frustrated that I support a club more than capable of filling a full allocation for Hampden and it was the second time we had miserably failed to do it for a derby semi final. At least as someone who was there I can safely say our 14,000 or whatever it was outsung their 22,000 for most of the game.

Any cancer survivor is an absolute hero in my book. Very best wishes with your treatment and hope you are fit and able to return to ER in the future. All the best
