PauloPerth Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 18 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: St Mirren are too far ahead IMO, we're not gaining 10+ points on them. We still have Celtic and Rangers to play before the split. Staying above Dundee the key objective just now, so hopes for midweek are obvious there. They have 2 games in hand and win in either puts us bottom. We've not shown that we can maintain good performances yet, most of them are blotted by bad halves until today. County and Livi are the only sides we can drag back into it and Saturday is pivotal to that. We have 2 games left against each, winning all four there drags them both into IMO, but its a huge task still. Yes in reality, we’re not near consistent enough to put a run of 3-4 wins together, but a decent bit of form and there are a fair few teams very closely bunched. 3 points separate Hibs in 4th and Livi in 9th. There are few teams outwith the OF showing any kind of form, so for the likes of Motherwell, Aberdeen and Hibs, if Dundee and ourselves were to get our acts together, it could get quite exciting. A win at County next week is crucial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more teams we can drag into this shitshow the better, and I don’t think there’s anyone into Scottish football who would be upset at the paisley’s in administration. Teams sinking are always mentally up against it more than teams who’ve been at the bottom a while and find a bit of form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealNumber5 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Are we all feeling a bit better this morning? Amazing what one good win can do for the confidence. And to go up, get pegged back and still go on and win is massive for us. Also I do hope we’re planning putting something on for Eve Muirhead for our next home game 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club need to invite her along as a special guest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Did that in 2014 when she won a medal, they were presented to the crowd at HT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lang Toon Saintee Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Agreed and the club could give her something to keep to commerate it like an engraved plate or Ali Crawford 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Only been in the top tier at Easter Road once, although plenty others will have been for League Cup semi in 1998. They had our whole support in top tier when we won 1-0 - Roddy Grant header - in January of that year. Do remember they shoved us in the old Main Stand once as well, a 3-3 draw around 2000. We came back from two down to lead 3-2, then immediately conceded again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’ll remain sterile. Around 60 tickets left to sell then I imagine the top tier will open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly78 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Section 28 (bottom tier, right behind the goal) now on sale. Looks like they may only be making half of it available though, with the other half being left for the segregation. Still probably about 100 tickets available there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is pretty normal with Hibs. Seem to remember seeing utd and Aberdeen getting half of bottom tier and half of top tier. Must be c1k tickets sold already and game is still a fortnight away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Seeing on Saints banter that we’ve sold 1065 tickets. Tremendous. Who knew that lowering ticket prices would entice fans to games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf 1000 at £5 = £5k You'd only need more than 220 attending at £23 to make more money by charging more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good point and even if you assume each person buys say a pie, you'd need roughly 3.5x times as many just to get to same £. However, that fails to capture loads of other spin offs from extra fans such as extra merchandise (home fans obviously) and extra advertising revenue. Hats off to Hibs though. Great initiative that seems to have worked well on both sets of fans. Could be a huge game for saints if we can get a result on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine fans who are going to buy that stuff will be anyway. It's an utter dreamland that folk live in if they expect clubs to cut their matchday income and continue to keep fans. Folk will always find an excuse to do something else if they're that way inclined. Jamma simultaneously demands clubs catch up with Celtic and Rangers while cutting their own main income stream. As you'd have to absolutely slash season ticket prices if you allowed £5 entry to every game.
