I just assumed you'd have a lot of non ST holders who'd maybe be tempted considering it's been so long away. No, to be fair, you're right. I was being slightly disingenuous. As a non ST holder myself, I would have been well up attending this game if possible, and it might still be if ST holders don't take up all the home allocation but tbh I've completely lost track with the rules on attendance restrictions, home/away numbers etc so I'll just wait to hear from the club as to when I can get in and get to a game as soon as possible. At least the atmosphere should be good. Edited July 26, 2021 by dezz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the atmosphere should be good. The plan seems to be exactly that. There will be a general sale of a couple of hundred once the club hear back from ST holders as to whether they can make it or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santheman Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 The club have emailed every season ticket holder asking them to confirm if they will be attending the Hibs match so given it's unlikely every one will say yes they should have an idea fairly soon of how many spaces will be available to PATG fans. Are Hibs offering them to season ticket holders only or will it be first come first served.? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 The real question is will catering be open and how strict are the stewards are with wearing masks. I’d hope they’d have catering open now given the relaxation to level 0 since the plans announced for the league cup games, to have circa 7k folk in a ground with only a few water coolers (that don’t cool) isn’t going to cut it. Re masks, they’re needed when entering and moving about but they didn’t care when folk were seated, again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hopefully this means that we can get in to our away games too. Especially as I’ve booked about 9 weekends off in expectation! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there are Motherwell fans that would have bought the majority of those? I get giving some away fans if you don't think you'll fill the allocation, but 2000 seems huge all things considered. You'll be segregated in the South stand as usual so makes sense to get as many Hibs fans in there as regulations allow. Cannae wait for a proper game of football with an atmosphere.

I haven't been able to make any of the League Cup games, so Sunday will be my first game since the 4-4 St. Mirren cup tie in February 2020. It will be brilliant with a couple of thousands Hibees in attendance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 So are we getting 4500 home fans in plus 2000 Hibs fans or is it 4500 total? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'm actually pretty buzzing about away fans getting in. Will hopefully feel like a "real" game now. Probably a good idea not to be areseholes about this sort of thing too when we'll likely be hoping other clubs return the favour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Away fans (or groups thereof) to be separated by one seat. This will probably apply to home fans too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 What is happening with the Main Stand? Will the whole stand be used or will ST’s just be put at each end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 The breakdown of home Vs away is surely just a function of the fact that we have a vast away end with no possibility to have 2 sets of supporters in there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably lead to higher cost of stewarding/policing and we haven’t really needed the stand for home fans in the past, so probably why avoided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 If we get 6.5k in on Sunday - that won't be much different than a normal game against Hibs I would imagine (although an opening day game would probably be higher in normal circumstances). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3-0 in 2019 was 5,964. That was the 4th game of the season. In other news I take it we're the team SSN are reporting on today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobby Dossar Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 2 hours ago, dezz said: I can't think of any teams (outwith the OF) that have done better than us in the transfer market in recent years. Other teams have obviously had the odd big sale like Hibs with McGinn and to be fair, it looks like they'll do well again from Nisbet, Doig and Porteous, but off the top of my head you have to go back to the likes of when Gauld, Armstrong and Robertson left Utd, Steven Naismith left Kille, or McCarthy and McCarthur left Accies for other sizeable fees. (Freely admit I could be forgetting loads of people here because I've done zero research!) I'd be very surprised if any other non-OF club could point to the same number of £250k+ fees received in the last 5 years as us. 1/3 of the McGinn Xfer fee went to St Mirren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Where has is been shown it's 6500? All I've seen is 4500. Curious as Hearts are still stuck at 3000 and crowds like that would surely mean we can get a bigger crowd for the Celtic game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
