He can also look forward to spending all the money he made based on a few good games. I think in this case it was a good choice by him and his agent.

(Daily Record) frustrates me that a team like Hibs who not so long ago were relegated are able to snap up some of our previous decent players.

weeyin Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 I'm not sure Hibs signing Scott on loan from a Championship club is much different than us signing Kelly on a loan from a Championship club last season. A bit disappointed it hasn't worked out for Scott so far, though. Despite Dempster's original majoriy fan-ownership plan, Hibs are back to running on a rich owner model. We've seen how that can pan out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if Scott would start there most weeks, and what he needs now is games. EDIT: Didn't realise Doidge was out for so long. This move makes more sense knowing that Edited August 20, 2021 by C&A not the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My frustration was not too many years ago we had very similar crowds - Hibs have maintained and added more punters. We have reduced by more than 50%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that - Edinburgh has always been bigger than Motherwell. It's more a comparison how we've fallen in crowd size. Hibs/Motherwell for a long period of time had very similar crowd size, over the last 20 years they've maintained v's we've halved in crowd size. I don't know how they've managed to maintain v's why we declined - but it does frustrate. Ideally I'd like to see us improve and get stronger as a club - v's the survive another year and aim for 9-6th spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had around 4500 season tickets on average for the last few years. I dont ever remember us getting crowds regularly in excess of 9000 apart from games against the ugly sisters.....

Think at our peak we had a 7k average, it drops when you only play the OF 3 times at home instead of 4.

Even in the Championship chasing seasons of the early / mid 90s I dont recall us breaking the 10k barrier and they were really good teams to watch. So I cant see how we can have dropped over 50% of our crowd in that time. Happy to be proved wrong though as my memory isnt the greatest any more!

Back then we'd get probably about 5,500 for an 'average' game, maybe 7,000 ish for bigger teams like Aberdeen and Hearts and over 10,000 for OF matches although Rangers nearly always brought a bigger crowd than Celtic. Just taking a quick look the famous 1-0 win v Celtic in the Scottish Cup when it was blowing a gale and Tommy Coyne scored the winning header had an attendance of 14,061. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a scour on the net and can't find anything back to the 90s. Early 2000's we averaged 7500 fans (2005 season). We've definitely dropped off since but perhaps 10k per week is remembering through claret coated lenses. Either way I'd love to see FP back rocking and no better time than now.

He left us with a lot of developing to do and I can’t believe he’s developed that much since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
