We’d been on a horrendous run of form and fans were raging. I’ll have a look and see if there were any threads which might prove the point But we had the new stand supposedly opening in September and discounted seats. I think we'll be down by a couple of thousand on last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ticket sales front, I don't care what anyone says here, the sales for a single month, have been nothing short of outstanding and we must have a good chance of at least getting close to last year. It also speaks volumes about our support, in that we have resilience to once again see beyond some absolute mediocrity and miss-management of our football team for two seasons in a row now. It's quite clear the previous performance of our manager isn't the primary driver for people buying season tickets. If this was true, Cathro would have seen off our or our upward sales trajectory a year ago, yet we are now running at almost 40 year highs, which is frankly incredible. One concern I have highlighted before however, is that this sales momentum may be petering out now, so perhaps performance may yet influence sales, although hopefully not. Regarding the manager. There is a significant minority would like to see the back of Levein, for various reasons, including me. It's a reality, whether some on here accept it or not. What I would like to add on this however, is that since Levein is clearly starting the new season, bickering about him now is pretty pointless. Only results and his away game mindset will dictate his future now. If I can accept this, as someone who has reached panto villain, bad guy status on JKB, I think we all can. Let's see what the close season brings us and how we start the season. Spot on. A fabulous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be down by a couple of thousand on last year. The reduction in the main stand discount will more impact where folk sit rather than if they buy or not imo. We are almost at the couple of thousand down number already ( if the counts on here are to be believed ) with over two months until the season starts so I think being two thousand down on last year is unlikely.

Since we are already touching 12K sales to be 2k down at the start if the season would mean not another ST sold between now and the new season. Incidentaly we had only sold 13700 by the start of last season. The other 300 odd was made up of half ST sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps down on last year but bloody good going I reckon. Talk of sales being down ‘considerably’ ‘significantly’ or by ‘a couple of thousand’ (all of which has been fed to us on this thread!) is being put to bed with every dot count. (Well done on putting the poster to which you replied straight, btw ??) We will prove again that we are amongst the most loyal supporters in the country. We may not have the biggest support but by God, we don’t half back our club. Hibs and Aberdeen supporters have proven they’ll turn their backs on their club when the going gets tough. Heart of Midlothian supporters are made of sterner stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of your post is pure justification of your intended being on here next season. My crystal ball says you will disappear for wins then appear when we lose. Particularly when we lose away from home so the seed you planted above will be in full bloom. You wanted to Hibs to beat Hearts. You will be reminded of this on a regular basis. Your credibility is zero. Craig Levein has more credibility in a toe nail.

Clerry Jambo Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 If the dot count shows us having 4000 free seats available then I dont see how we are near 12K yet I'm basing this on say 16K available seats in the home end, minus hundreds of hospitality seats in Gorgie and New Stand, I can't see how we are near 12K, mibbe just over 11K Hope I'm talking Hibernian, just my thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
