West, East and FF sold out, upper tier of away end now opened for us.

Could be close to 18,19000 Hibees alone. Not sure how many Accies will bring.

Was great aswell hearing Clive Tyldsley on ITV mentioning Hibs during the champions league presentation. Just reminding us that Hibs were the first British side to compete in the European cup, also mentioned about our game tomorrow.

Filled me with pride ❤️ love my Hibees
At least you had a big crowd there

Indeed.

Hibs have been relegated for a reason. They won't suddenly be world-beaters.

On this evidence Hibs could be struggling at home against some of the teams in the lower reaches of the championship.

Hibs losing and drawing at home to the likes of Dumbarton, Cowdenbeath and Alloa is not completely out of the question.

Dumbarton, Cowdenbeath and Alloa will really be seeing their coffers swelling next season.

Well done Accies.
Magnificent performance.
Delighted to welcome Hibs into the Championship.
A club with crowds of around 9-10,000 comes down and Accies with attendances of around 1,000 go up.

Hibs may do well just to finish in the top half of the championship table.

It would have to happen next season.

They couldn't just turn round and not relegate Hibs and Hearts. They could but I doubt it with media and fan pressure.

No relegation from the SPL next season and top 4 go up would make sense.

Mixed feeling about hibs going down as it makes it a very west coast heavy spl next season

Celtic, Kilmarnock, Patrick, st mirren , Motherwell , Hamilton.

I do feel the larger travelling supports of the teams in the east excluding celtic especially against each other will take crowds down a bit

They should not be doing this as there is a massive gap in quality between the top 6 and bottom 6 and other four is not going to help.


However I can see them going reconstruction yet again

But Hamilton showered there worth today many ex SPL players. Not much difference between the bottom SPL and Championship.

Can't put it into words, honestly can't describe the emotions.

But we do deserve to go down and Hamilton played some great football and obviously have done all season. They fully deserved it.

Mass protests outside the main stand (West) of Easter Road, all the exits being blocked by fans.

There isn't but there seems to be three leagues now in the spl Celtic, the rest of the top 6 regulars then the bottom 6 regulars.

It used to the old firm, then there wasn't much between the rest but that has changed

I do expect Hamilton and dundee to be in the well adrift bottom 6 pack

Sorry for you hibs fan as I know how loyal you are, but you have been pretty awful all through the butcher era, he seemed to somehow make you worse somehow

St Johnstone and Inverness done well and made top six but use to be regulars in the first division.

The large clubs are going down due to lack of finances. Hibs don't get good attendances these days which doesn't help the budget.

Scottish football is an even playing field now.

Not so sure be almost certain that it will be the same top 6 again, Celtic, Aberdeen, Motherwell utd 2-4 in some order, then St Johnstone and Inverness maybe inverness could slip out but I don't see it

So half the teams then - which makes it an even balance

I've mixed feelings. A day out at Easter Road has more of a top flight feel than a day out at New Douglas Park. But if Hibs had stayed up, then they'd have inevitably rebuilt during the summer, reducing the number of teams we could realistically aim to finish above.
