No Way

[ChookterDon]

After seeing the highlights of the Edinburgh derby I can't see any way of Hibs taking 20k+ fans to hampden...they couldn't even fill their allocation for their derby.

I think they had some sort of protest going on as Hearts were trying to screw them something stupid for the tickets. maybe I am getting mixed up but I am sure something like this was to blame.

It did look daft that they only half filled a stand in their own town though

 

I wish we had a derby game, a proper one, not a 60mile trip one. Feck even ICT v Ross County will get the heelandars all excited, they might even get a plus 5k crowd

[ollie1903]

I've been shot doon fae people for saying the crowd would be mid 20k ish.

 

I'd be very surprised if it's 30k +

[Karl Fletcher]

15K each I reckon.

 

I agree, which is a fair effort from both clubs IMO.

Didnt see Hibs numbers on Saturday but at the end of the days its a cup semi - the fans will come out....

 

Just look at the Aberdeen support on Saturday compared to previous week....

[Dynamo]

Hibs had 3k plus at Ayr.

 

We had about 400 in Motherwell on Saturday.

 

The league was over long ago for us.

 

Dunfermline are that shite Hibs will stay up.

I couldn't believe how poor that Hibs crowd was for a derby match. Even if they have been shite it was still a pitiful support. Hell we always take a massive support down to Tannadump regardless of how pish we've been

Don't think so mate, their support is a joke. I know they're going through a bad patch, but it was embarrassing to have those two sections completely empty for a televised game.

[Dynamo]

Hibs and Hearts are both alike. They don't travel anywhere outside of Edinburgh (on a regular basis) unless it's to Hampden. OK they'll have a one off good cup support now and again.

 

Have they ever filled their end at Pittodrie? Not in the last 20 years anyway. And it only holds 2000.

Take your word for it.

So in that case it was fkn embarrassing.

I cannot see the logic in a fanbase that for the game at Easter Rd probably have about 7-8k fans there and then when you get a chance to go and noise up your greatest rivals on their patch to only take something which looked like less than 2k along. Might be apathy I suppose as they never win at Tynecastle

[tup]

I'd say the early Sunday KO would have had a major bearing on the attendance.

Early yes but not when you only need to catch a tram from Newhaven to Haymarket, oh wait a minute...

[zander]

I can't see how the Edinburgh doesn't sell out everytime

Did it clash with the rugby or something ?

[StandFree1982]

I don't care if they take 30 fans or 30,000 fans as long as we absolutely destroy them in the cup

Hearts had a decent support up for the last game at Pittodrie. Was surprised how many they took tbh

Hibs fans I know were of the opinion that there's no way they were going, what with all the ribbing they'd take for them maybe getting relegated & Hearts basically more than likely going to give them a hiding. 10 games without a win.

 

How good a support would we bring to tanadice sitting second bottom & not having beaten them in 10?

 

Hibs will take 20k at least (imo) to the semi & I'll bet

[zappadons]

Hibs and hearts fans quite often stay away from the derby away game due to protest at ticket price or similar issue.

 

I'm pretty sure Hibs will out number us at Hampden unfortunately. 25,000 when we beat them

In the 2000 semi final compared to our 7000, and 35000 to their final against Livi. I'm certain we'd struggle to break the 20000 mark at ANY game.

Pretty good, considering the collective crowd was just over 22000

[fine-n-dandy]

I'll take it, my large moustachio'd, muttonchopped pal.

 

 

You're on min.

 

Like I said in semi thread, there was 38000 at the league cup final with Livi & Livi had next to fk all of that. It was basically a sea of green & white & how desperate are they to get their hands on the Scottish cup & get that monkey off their backs? Do you really think many of them would risk not be there to (possibly) finally see them lift that cup & miss out on the semi that "may" lead to that.

 

I think they'll easily sell out whatever tickets they get.

 

P.s. always read the small print, clause is if they do not get given as much as 25k tickets due to corporate BS, then just fully selling their allocation is suffice for the bet

can't be arsed looking. If we have an initial allocation of 12500, what have the Hivees?

[RUL]

I'm with ollie here, if this crowd breaks 25,000 they'll be doing well

[RUL]

Well the overall crowd was only 30,000 so about 8k

[muttonhumper]

Well the overall crowd was only 30,000 so about 8k

Must have taken about 14 for the LC semi just previous though. Crowd was 38,000 that day.

 

Dip in crowd due to thousands not willing to put themselves through another humiliation again.

Certainly was the case for the 4 in the car we had to the LC semi.

 

Think we'll manage around 15k.

Don't know but I'd imagine it's around the same initially.

At least 20k Hibs fans though imo, so that's the
