I also would like to say I don't like the term "fair Weather fans", by the descriptions on here I would be one of them but I am by no means a fair weather fan, just one who cannot get to games regularly. People don't go to ordinary games for all sorts of reasons, its up to clubs to provide initiatives etc to attract them more but ultimately its success on the field that always draws more fans to games and Hibs have been a little short of that recently!!!
Fair weather fans St Charles Owl? I think you'll have to visit Scotland to appreciate the amount of fair weather is not that evident anyway, particularly during the trying late autumn and winter months lol! As for success on the field, just take note that the last time a non OF team won the top league in Scotland was in 1985 - that's 31 years ago! IMO these long-term unimpressive stats generate a lotta cynicism amongst huge factions of fans throughout Scotland and the issue has evolved through time. It's fairly complex and a lotta folk head south to watch matches. Also a lotta folk pick n choose their matches, even league fixtures on occasions. They go to see a game, pre-book tickets and you dunno what the weather's gonna be like on the day of a game and that's just one poss scenario. It's a fairly complex issue that has been debated before!
