Craigieboy Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's all very well bragging about having sold out your sticklebrick arena but when your teams form is decent and you get 9000 at your next home game, it's a bit if a hollow statement is it not?

Thunderstruck Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 They only got the extra 9000 or thereabouts because, like Romans in the Amphitheatre, they turned up hoping to see an unequal contest with some unfortunate being put to the sword. And, while they managed a rare win, if was far from convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shug73 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Had a chuckle at the game updates on forth one yesterday. Hibs 3-0 down heading to half time and the presenter asked the journo at the game "so what has the reaction been like at Easter Road where it must be a capacity crowd?" Journo said " not quite a full house, around 10,000 here." :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos_1874 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 So for only 45 out of over 130 years of their existence have they managed to get the better of us on a regular basis and even then not since the 1970s. I think that illustrates the sheer superiority of Heart of Midlothian. Do you have a comparison of how Hearts and Hibs attendances have compared over the last few decades? I'd be interested to see how they compare over the relative highs and lows of the respective clubs fortunes.

Yet more statistics that assert our dominance! However, those statistics are actually horrendously depressing. Obviously there's limitations on stadium capacity but how the heck can we ever challenge the OF for the league if both of the capital clubs are getting such low average attendances? It's all relative of course and I'm sure our attendances stack up very favourably compared to most other non-OF clubs but they are a fraction of what we need in order to get the revenue necessary to challenge the uglies (I would imagine).

jambogjh Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I detest everything about their shitty meaningless little club, deluded bitter shower of inbreeds. Who seemingly take more interest in the famous Heart of Midlothian Football Clubs on & off field business affairs. That's why we should never ever let them forget that famous day back in May 2012. We now have the unique Openertunity to rebuild a team over the next couple of seasons which will again be the dominant force in Edinburgh, even in the Championship we will continue to be the big team.

Gershwin Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Putting the rivalry to one side, I really wish clubs like Hibs and Aberdeen could sustain better crowds. If people actually went to the games we could start building a better league. A league that might actually be able to attract a sponsor. Obviously there are other factors in play with that last point. Getting rid of Doncaster and appointing someone with a bit of creative vision would help.

Obviously there are other factors in play with that last point. Getting rid of Doncaster and appointing someone with a bit of creative vision would help. I'd argue that what Scottish football needs, to be able to increase gates at non-InFirm games, is for more football fans to actually support their local team, rather than getting on a bus in the likes of Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Ayr, Stranraer etc. and travelling to Ibrox or Parkhead or, perhaps even worse, professing support for Celtic or Rangers, but sitting on their arses in front of the TV every Saturday. It needs that level of rethinking to change things drastically. Otherwise, the money's just going to keep leaking to Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a club log reportedly losing a six figure sum every month I would imagine it may cause them more of a headache that it will a debt free Hearts. And then will their managable debt maybe be slightly less so? As my mum would say..be careful what you wish for when they long for our relegation.

This was his reply, I think you'll find it might have been more to do with the new electronic turnstiles which were in operation for the 1st time yesterday that were not working properly, so some were in likely without being counted, my reply what you telling me that they failed to count 8000 extra numbers.
