Eric Arthur Blair Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 With the exception of the Fergie era we've never had much more than 2 or 3 thousand home fans In the early 80s (Fergie had left) for 3 out of 4 seasons we were the 4th best supported team in Scotland being behind only the two cheeks and Aberdeen.

Sonny Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Attention AYRSHIRE BUDS Remember the A737 will be completely closed from the Roadhead roundabout at Lochwinnich to Howwood this weekend for those travelling to Edinburgh. The last time this road was closed the delays were considerable going through Lochwinnoch due to great big lorries trying to navigate along Lochwinnoch Main St. I'll be heading along the Barrhead Rd and over the Braes. See you at Easter Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mearns Saint Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I will be the same , I'll just say "hola" from wherever I end up. How much is Hibs Tv per game? I think as there is only one game left for then it looks like it's £5.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidebud Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 If we assume that Raith don't win 15-0 ... Then of the 9 possible outcome combinations of the two relevant games on Saturday 8 of them will end up with us safe in at least 8th. So while getting something from Easter Road may seem daunting - those odds are certainly on our side. COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, better value than St Mirren TV. Even for this game, still decent value when you consider traveling, admission etc. Leaves plenty for beer. So it will be £8.99 for the one game? Happy to pay that as can't make game - me and wee man will chill out in front of the tv. Not done this VPN thingy before - although I have installed STAR VPN. Hopefully simple to do.

beyond our ken Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I will be hitting the city centre around 12 :45, so the cask and barrel sounds good, planning on going down to Middletons around 14:00 and the city is mine after 17:00 Really looking forward to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luther G. Presley Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I think the Hibs crowd will be fairly quiet on Saturday, whereas we will be well up for it from the off and throughout the game, hopefully it can spur the players on to get the required result.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 If you measured it average away support as a percentage of average home support, I would not be surprised if we were the highest in the country. The teams that take more in number than us, I'd imagine would have considerably higher average home gates, therefore their percentage would be lower. Pity there's no way to measure that.

shull Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Imagine we had an average home support around 15000, like Hibs and Hearts. We would probably take at least 5000 fans away, whereas the Edinburgh Clubs struggle to have a 1000 travelling We are immense. I might start doing away days next season.
