But apart from that glaring omission, oh gee, I guess hibs finally have one over than us.

Debut 4 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Historically there’s just no argument. You can point to the odd occasion through history where every clubs support takes a dip or a rise, home and away, but our average says it all. I’ve seen us get part of Hibs end at Tynie for a derby in the 80s because their support was that shite. The Hibs end at Easter Road not full for numerous derbies over the decades while we had anywhere between 7 and 10k in the away end. (Bearing in mind we got part of the main stand back in the day too) It was well known Hibs would hand out a couple of thousands freebies to Hibs Kids that helped the attendance. Pathetic club who always look to massage their own deluded ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 They did exactly the same last season. When we’d been back at Tynie a couple months and played about 10 home games in the space of a month, right before Xmas mostly against bottom half teams, they were able to take an average of the Tynie games, exclude the ones at Murrayfield and say “we are getting more fans at ER than they are at Tynie”. The truth is, Hibs have been getting better crowds over the last couple of years, partly due to the cup win, partly due to them doing OK last season and also down to pricing. They will probably just fall short of us again this season after we have played all our fixtures (and especially after they finish bottom six), so this anomaly is only temporary. Given their poor season this year and uninspiring managerial options they are looking at, I very much doubt it will be as close next year. You also need to look at the income generated from the same sales. With less cut price ST’s Hearts will be brining in much more income. Then add in the fact that 8,000 are paying monthly DD’s and becomes night and day. Last year Hibs fans were saying our era of domination was over and Hibs are going to become the dominant force. We all pointed out that Hibs pretty much never finish above us two seasons running and while form is temporary, class is permanent. So it has proved, and they are back to straw clutching meaningless stats like average crowds mid season when one team has had more Cat A games than the other.

GiantJambo Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 This is all about the number of midweek home games in the winter. There have been far too many this season. But the away end at Tynecastle is also bigger than at Easter Road so if other sides don't fill it then the attendance is affected more. That's always a big section that's blocked off to act as a barrier between the supporters at the Roseburn end. Still surprised at the Easter Road figures, mind you.
