Don’t think you can scrape up much more support for Motherwell, it’s over double our average attendance (including away fans). Only thing that would get you a ‘well support greater than 10k is probably a final not against either of the old firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be like a home match for the huns The crowd at both games is going to be significantly weighted towards the Glasgow teams if Hibs have only sold around 11k.

Have Hibs fans become too used to Hampden Semi-Finals/Finals and it now no longer holds the same appeal? That's much lower (maybe even half) what i'd have thought they'd sell.

We had 12k I think in 2012 against Celtic but had 16-17k a the Semi vs Ayr! Against Hibs in 2007 we sold out our 18k and 1997 was something like 23-24k. Playing Celtic or Rangers certainly keeps the numbers down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMcoolJ Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The BT Sport add for these games is pretty offensive! I can't post pictures, but it goes something along the lines of: Hibs v Celtic Rangers v Motherwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we just go for it and ignore the fear of getting pumped as I doubt we're capable of not conceding, not very confident but would be delighted to be proved wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
