For me it's no surprise to read this latest headline in the EEN and a positive one at that! IMO a lotta Embro 'myths' re Hibs 'pulling power', never ever filling our stadium to capacity, were 'blown away' by the historic scenes when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and the massive crowds the following day in Embro, estimated to be 150k+, just confirmed why I always knew this fact anyway - Hibernian FC has a massive 'latent support' in the city and the outlying areas and it was proved on the Sunday after that SC final - I've got my own photos and video from the East End, Leith Walk to Leith Links - you could hardly see the grass at Leith Links as the massive crowd of cheering fans was amazing. Of course, drawing regular big crowds at home is all down to  winning on the pitch and hardly ever losing - the difference is 'night n day' if that can't be attained and Hibs must strive to keep the 'feel good factor' alive for as long as possible esp with the positive financial backing that they've drawn in during the past 5-6months. That can only be done by winning regularly at this Championship level of footie!
