We only had 2500 Falkirk fans at the first home game of 11-12 and that number stayed very similar until Houston came in- just over 2000 for some matches and only 3600 for the 2014 play off against Hamilton. We have not been close to those lows since, even though the product on the pitch has been far worse at times. You are correct, the pressley era was truly the dullest in my lifetime, but that generally was scottish football lowest ebb in living memory. The malaise ran from top to bottom. Scottish football in general has come on so far from then And for the hibs semi in 15, we were in the south stand away from the main body across from us. It was shite. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Eamonn Bannan was better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs are prioritising experience over all else as Nick Montgomery revealed their summer transfer plans - which could see as many as EIGHTEEN players axed. The Easter Road side currently have 18 players loaned out and their squad of players signed for next season is one of the biggest in the country. Among those returning for pre-season will be Dylan Tait (Falkirk), Dan MacKay (Livingston) and Nohan Kenneh (Shrewsbury), and many of them will be shown the door as the boss insists there is no room for passengers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 That's a helluva lot of players out on loan. Looks like that squad will be getting culled big time for next season. I'm surprised Hibs are giving Montgomery another chance after failing to make the top 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver The Bairn Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Just bought a season ticket for the first time since the 2013/14 season. Unfortunately, life got in the way and football didn't seem to matter at that time. Having endured years of Pressley and Holt didn't help whet the appetite either. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Hearing that 750 season tickets have been sold already. That's bloody good going, if it's true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
