The big problem as you infer is that fans are not buying into what is happening and returning to ER to watch Hibs. Many are still disillusioned from years of failure culminating in relegation under Butcher. I know one friend who was a Season Ticket holder for 25 years who said after Butcher he was never going back and he has been true to his word, despite our good form this season. How many more are there like him? Is it finances? found other things to do at a weekend?

Even against Rangers in November , if you take out their fans we could barely muster 11K fans......poor considering it is meant to be a do or die season against our biggest rivals. Of course these fans may clamour for tickets at a glamour cup final again.

The problem then is the Board are trying to run a Championship Club as if it was in the Premier but with only 2 Cat A games at ER and many games that are hardly going to inspire excitement they have to keep the prices high for what is on show.

Even the Half Season Ticket is over priced in my opinion at £195 ( West Upper ) as there are only 8 home fixtures left from when it starts. As most are £22 a game I leave you to do the maths. I know many buy them to invest in the Club but many may be put off if they feel they are not getting any saving over walking up and paying at the gate and then they can pick and choose which games to attend.
