blairdin Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Said this before and I'll say it again, I think Hibs have scored a massive own goal with their new lego stand, because they have taken away the only part of the ground which used to have any resemblance of an atmosphere, and now that scruffy mob will be rattling around in a half empty stadium every other week, just like Aberdeen! Personally I think it's great! I think it was very nice of them to leave so many empty seats so that we all got a good view of their new stand... The wee team should be applauded for completing their stadium and I have no doubt that the SFA will use it to host Scotland games and the occasional League Cup semi involving all east coast teams. I can't help but feel it's about 3,000 to 4,000 seats too big, and come the middle of the season when they struggle to get more than 7,500 along the atmosphere will be dire. Snigger snigger.

I reckon we could fill a 20-25k stadium easily hmmm cold hard facts, i would say that we could potentially fill this, but you still need the product on the pitch, not saying its not going in the right direction, but any club regardless of who they are will always drop attendances if they're not performing where it matters.

Victor Meldrew Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 This 'dressed as seats' joke has never been funny. I disagree. In any event, it is the only way to explain the Hobos' argument that we didn't outnumber them significantly on 02/04.06 and the apparent swathes of empty seats in their end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 If every season was like 05-06 then yes, we could fill out a 20-25K stadium most weeks, however every season is not like 05-06 and if you look historically to our crowd averages, then we're nowhere near filling the stadium every week. One thing's for sure though, when doing well, we have a damn site more potential than Hibs could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old firm get as many tickets as we want to give them. If it suits us in the future we will cut their allocation again, nothing to do with running back to them. If this attitude winds them up then tough sh*t, whatever is best for HMFC is all that counts. Their new stand might make the place look better, but i doubt it will help the atmosphere. If they have that many empty seats at the grand opening with a full away end then they'll be picking their own row when hamilton, st johnstone etc. come to visit.

rossthejambo Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 would be better slagging them if we had our new stand and there bank balance tbh. Absolute bullcrap. I'd rather stick with our main stand until we sort out a brilliant state-of-the-art stand truly fitting of Tynecastle and Hearts than stick up a hastily designed pish stand because our planning permission was going to expire. Someone touched on it earlier, but at the start of that Sky coverage they opened the doors to the new stand and it was just like walking into a fecking warehouse. Nothing exciting about it whatsoever. And if having their balance sheet means having mediocre seasons and an ever increasing wait to see us get our hands on a decent bit of silverwear then they can bloody well keep it.

Are you seriously saying you think it's better to have a bank balance and stand than to be Edinburgh's dominant football team? I thought we were football fans and not accountants.

Francis Albert Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 If Hibs did have over 17,000 (it didn't look like it on TV but you can't judge from an incomplete view) then it's a very decent crowd for a Sunday lunchtime televised game. When clubs improve their grounds they usually benefit from improved attendances - we'll see how it pans out for Hibs. A quarter empty Celtic Park for a non-televised 3pm KO was more interesting ... and encouraging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour M Hersh Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 There's no way there was 17145 in that stadium today, JR. Absolute nonsense. If it were us all the accountants down there would be saying aye but they also count the season ticket-holders who don't show. Unfortunately for the vermin their ST sales are so peshy that excuse won't help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I thought their stand looked great, but a big negative for them is that it will kill the atmosphere. Their crowd hardly sung a song all day and against the poorer teams it will be a disaster. Don't look good for Hibs though, they were pretty shocking today, and they don't get better after Christmas. I thought it looked good as well to be honest. I said it before its not too dissimilar to the Wheatfield (Wheatfield is better before anyone starts). It completes their stadium and although its not a patch on ours for atmosphere it does look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
