I've watched a few of the Hibs games at Easter Road on the telly this past season and the crowds they are reporting don't appear to to match what I'm seeing. If I'm being honest, I've actually noticed that with ourselves too. I'd also like to see a comparison of the number of away supporters each club brings to each stadium. I want to know what our travelling support size was this past season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 The away end at Easter Road holds almost 4,000 and the Roseburn nearer 3,400 although the lower sections of H&M were closed in the last derby and the recent Rangers & Celtic games, taking us down to barely 3,100 away fans at those games.

EIEIO Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Based on this Hibs will have a far bigger turnover and profit than Hearts this year, bet they won't though. Not studied it but we seemed to have a disproportionate number if midweek home games which could have affected the figures. I remember Dundee and Livingston as particularly bad nights all round. That said we were shite from October until the cup final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morph Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 No reason to doubt the figures really. Hibs are doing better than usual so will have better attendances, we’re not doing well so we have less than usual. Up to hearts to do better on the pitch and we’ll see the crowds raise. We’ve always had good supports in recent years so if we play well people will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveins Battalion Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Hibs crowds were due to the feelgood factor that winning a cup brings,the problem with them is now that expectations have risen the atmosphere of the club changes,a few defeats and the fans will be on their backs,clubs like us Aberdeen and Hibs cant sustain a quality side.

I followed us when we had poorer crowds. Think it's a young person's game or something. Nobody mentioned attendances in the 90's. The internet wasn't around then tho, just ripped each other for shite team, results and players. Hearts and Hibs have a similar support, always have. They get more when playing well home and away. More support at closer home games and Saturday games, less for further away games and daft kick offs. Less when doing poorly. More at important games. Not worth arguing about with a hibs fan, never mind other Hearts fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 First time I’ve heard Hibs and Hearts having similar attendances? Obviously there can be significant factors which dramatically raise crowds or make them dip but if you scrutinise when both sides have their average seasons the Hearts support steps up much better. 2003 to 2018 Hearts. Hibs. 12,036. 9937 11,961. 9150 12,272. 13, 539 16, 762. 13,818 16,889. 14,488 15,933. 13,754 14,392. 12,684 14,497. 12;164 14,185. 11, 673 13,381. 9909 13,163. 10, 489 14,123. 11,028 15,986. 10, 170 16,422. 9291 16,325. 15, 394 18, 354. 18,150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) 49 minutes ago, JackLadd said: They have more season book holders. Is that propaganda also? Cup Final bounce. They won the cup then finished 3rd just a season ago. Of course their crowds are up. We've finished 5th or 6th 3 seasons in a row and are not far away attendance wise. Imagine when we improve on that... The real test of a support is are you willing to go that extra mile when times are tough. In Hibs case it's been no. Their membership scheme thing take-up has been pretty embarrassing. A few more 5th place finishes and no cups for them and it'll be business as usual. Natural order in fact. Their team currently has no stand out iconic figure like a McGinn or Griffiths or whoever that their fans can get behind. They'll be looking to Allen but he needs good players around him. Their youth policy, with one or two exceptions - maybe only Porteous - has ground to a halt. They need to do some very serious recruitment. Basically a whole new team despite Lennon spending Hibs biggest ever transfer budget. Mind you I'm fine with all non-OF clubs attendances increasing, including Hibs. Apocalypse my arse.
