Back in the day when I still had to work for a living, a Hibee colleague of mine would always go on about them having a few hundred bigger capacity than us, like that made them a bigger team. I'd point out 2 things, Killie have a bigger capacity than both of us, that doesn't make them a bigger team, and our average attendance exceeds Hibs. Not convinced that Killie have a higher capacity than us or the tramps. Where did you get that from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure their capacity is lower than that now; they lost quite a bit of the end stand when they put offices in. Just googled it; now just over 15000 Edited April 12 by XB52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of nice that Hibs have difficulty accepting their place, I like it, it makes being a Jambo that bit more enjoyable and fun. Imagine if they just accepted their place in our relationship based on the commonly acknowledged ways of judging success e g. trophies, league placings, head to head record. Of course, that will change next season now that their multi million pound investment has them on the cusp of being the Scottish Man.City.

Gizmo Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 On 10/04/2024 at 15:51, Gav M said: there's another thread about a foley interview on skysports, talking about Bournemouth and building up infrastructure etc. some of them belive this will be what they are in for and are talking about having to expand the ground because they feel they are at the % mark where growth is possible if there is more space! talk of filling the corners and/or adding upper sections to existing stands! Whilst I could take the piss and suggest you could fit about half a stand into the windy gaps between their mismatched stands, there's a reason their stands aren't symmetrical. They have limited space they can build into - hence why two stands taper at one corner to protect zoning and building restrictions. Obviously, they are not remotely threatening their capacity but they probably can't increase the stadium size as easily as they seem to think, even if it is just conjecture or wishful thinking. I do like that the hibs fans are expecting annual cash injections from Foley, the same Foley who said this of his/BK's investment in Hibs: " This is going to be fun. It's not a big investment for us. It's going to be a fun investment.” The £6 mill for shares was earmarked for "player development & infrastructure". It's intended as a one-off, they are going to be very disappointed if they expect bumper transfer pots. The best they can hope for is that they get some Bournemouth players capable of getting them out of the bottom six Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly wouldn't spend much on it though. And if we did sign him I'd love to come back here and eat a pile of humble pie if he did well.

Rods Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 They are pretty erratic much like their new hero Foley. They are building up another myth/comfort blanket quite quickly. The blanket is they will have access to premier league players due to being part of the BK group. Nobody has the heart to break it to them that every club in Scotland can loan players from premier league teams. Just everyone else has a pick they are now fastened to Bournemouth.

We have had loanees from Bournemouth (Hill) we have also had loans from Brighton , Everton, Liverpool, Man City, Man United and Wolves. It’s better to have options in my book.
