Ryan Gosling Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 http://www.hibs.net/message/showthread.php?t=122884 Now it makes sense. It doesn't matter if there's only 2000 people there, Hibs were INVITED to play Barcelona, and as such THEY will be paid for this game. Of course when the yams played Barca, it cost them ?1m to stage the game, and it was a big farce. Those yams barely broke even. We had to pay Barcelona over ?1m just to get them to consider playing us. How silly of us. If only we could be as important as Hibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts did not organise last year's game against Barca, and it cost them nothing to play it. They actually made quite a bit of money - but not from the gate receipts - from the and ons. The same promotion company that are organising the Hibs game took all of the risk - and therefore most of the profit. You will recall that last year's match was billed "Barcelona v Hearts" and have seen that this year's is "Barcelona V Hibs". In case you hadn't worked that out it means that Barca are the hosts. It's their game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des' Dad Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 As i recall it was indeed Bracas game last year but we got a fixed fee plus a certain percentage of the takings after Barcas fee was deducted. I'm sure we made over ?300K. I think the Hobos are heading for another major embarrassment after their ill fated venture in the Inter Tattie cup.

Fat Striker Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 As I recall the club kept us informed with regular updates of ticket sales in the lead up to the match. Everytime you thought a plateau had been reached another few thousand were sold. Have Hibs made ANY announcement regarding the number of tickets sold? Does not look good for the flairmeisters.

Suspect Device Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 you gotta laugh though Barca obviously enjoyed the training facilities at St Andrews and enjoyed playing in the countries capital in front of circa 57k fans. they thought they'd like to do it again , "but in the interests of fairness, perhaps we should play the other team from the capital, we'll get decent crowd, just like last year". quite simply Barca didn't realise how insignificant the hobbits are. shame for Barca really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 The game is being hosted by Platinum One Group, who swallowed up Gavin Hastings sports event group a few years ago, and it is they that are setting the agenda for Barca's visit to Scotland.. I'd imagine they will take a bath on the fees they are paying Barca if only 10,000 or so turn up. Still good fodder to rip the tramps with though.

Charlie-Brown Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Whether it is Hibernian FC or Platinum One group or whoever loses money on this tie is irrelevant (and they are advertising the game on STV as I type) the fact is the total attendance will be an embarrassment compared to the same fixture v Hearts last summer.

Frankenstein Jambo. Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 The green vermin from down the road are the most deluded bunch of so called football fans (or should i say hooftball fans) on the planet. FACT: Hibs are playing a very poor Barca team compaired to last season. FACT: The glamour from last years game HEARTS V BARCA is so much better than HIBS V BARCA. They can't even sell there tickets which shows how much of an embarrassment They are. now They are desperate and are trying to justify the game by saying they are making money where as we didn't. Thats alot of bull. We made 300k after ticket sales and merchandise. Hibs are the wee team and will always be the wee team. I just hope they don't embarrase the scottish game to much.
