Best section. Sit, stand, drunk, loud, quiet. Dae whit ye want.

I like to sit but also sing. Can I get another section created?

Guess or based on knowledge of how many sold so far? Club seemed to be geared up to stop queues anyway.

I'm fairly confident going in to the last few months of the year. We are so so much better than last year and, no matter the reason, a good run early in the season does wonders for confidence and that tends to just grow and grow. Of the next 12 games, I think we will continue to pick up points over the next 4 games, have a really tough middle 4, then pick up points again the next 4. We do have a lot of away games as you'd expect. However, I have no fear travelling with this group of players and we all know the manager is quick to change it if it's not working. Accies away, Dundee away, Hibs home, Ross County away Aberdeen away, St J home, Celtic home, Celtic away Hearts away, Partick away, Killie away, Dundee home All going well I reckon we will be comfortably mid table.

True...but I think we must start to credit the team with causing all these other teams who come against us to play shite.

Tait for me. Thought he had a great game, played on both wings, set up a goal, never stopped a d played fine defensively also. Campbell, Kipre, Hartley, Tanner and Bowman also up there.

Hartley on a perm deal past season end, rather than loan, would be magic. Think we may struggle , however.

True, which may mean we are unlikely to see Rose and Dunne drop out

Looking forward to today. -I think we're a better team with Hammell in it over Dunne at the moment, although I think Dunne could become a good and improved player given time - McHugh is on a shoogly peg given recent performances - I think we are lacking a bit of creativity somewhere in the midfield which results is going long or through Cadden and that's it. We need another outlet. So for me... Carson Kipre Hartley Hammell Tait Cadden Campbell McHugh Frear Bowman Moult

Good post G&F I reckon the path we are on with the WS and Club just now is fine short term. We're focussed on the debt pay off while also at the same time the WS is putting money into the club which ultimately directly/indirectly should benefit the squad. It's also, I would argue, fairly risk averse and that's sensible with our debt level and no guarantees on transfers etc. Strategically, medium to longer term I think we should be looking at exactly what you describe in your last paragraph G&F. There's an argument we don't need to wait but I think with level of change over the past few years on and off the park at the club, the turnover of the WS board and lack of permanent available resource to really drive the change through properly I wouldn't be comfortable pulling the trigger on anything which changes things dramatically. That's not to say we can't start talking about it at the WS in a working group format with a view to a longer term implementation.

Things have changed since the original conception of the WS...for me, I think, for the better. Having a spare pot of money while still owing money always seemed a bit silly to me so when Les moved the goalposts and essentially pushed us into early ownership it, for me, made the WS a better idea. All entities want the same thing at the end of the day. A well run club with no debt. Your on board or not I guess at this current point in time. Which is fine. Once we pay back the debt to everyone I think then we can potentially have a rethink with directly what happens with the WS income stream. If for a few years that effectively means we can pay off a bit more debt by offsetting the loss to the squad (i.e we pay off debt but can still get that extra player due to the WAS) then all good.

The Birmingham scout was at the Aberdeen cup game too.

To be fair, I'm paying for my own ticket and that's it. So I'm fortunate in that respect!

Like the idea and I'll be investing a little. I never stumped up the initial 300 as I didn't particularly buy into the idea or implementation for the 'normal' fan at the time. However I've been a monthly investor since that was an option and think this is a good next step.

Prices as expected. I'm less bothered about the cost on its own it's the fact most seats in Hampden are a shit view. I'll be there with 4 others though. Mon!

Don't think so, but by my count we now have Kipre, Cadden, Moult, Hammy, Grimmy and Fisher all on a yellow. One more and they misss the next game I think?

Moult for me. Soany to choose from.

Tansey as well. 3 players I'd take at Motherwell no bother. Still feel confident tonight. Hope we show.

I think Frear does fine on the left playing wing back. Certainly as good as Tait does when Tait is playing on the left on his wrong side. That's why I'd go with what I said earlier and move Tait back to the right side. Frear on the left and Cadden more central replacing Rose. Other options - Haven't seen any of Plummer, but would surprised to see him come in. Adam Livingstone looks like might be primed for that left side of a three or wing back in the future perhaps? Robbie seems to rate him. But too early I'd think given he's not been on the bench.

Carson Kipre Hartley Hammell Tait Cadden McHugh Campbell Frear Moult Bowman Plenty strong bench for most eventualities Motherwell win. Both teams to score.

Never a penalty ever. Just watched it on Alba.

Off Lochend Road nearer Leith Links is usually fine for us if you are ok with a 15 minute walk or so. Last time I was there we went for lunch and drinks on Easter Road and got parked just 5 mins walk away on one of the streets west of Easter road.

Last time we got beaten at Hibs was 2010. Unbeaten in our last 5 visits. Nailed on.

So they have! Haha. Mass blindness. 2 home and 3 away. Normal.

Hard one to predict form given the odd home/away balance. (How did Hibs manage to get 3 away games in the first four anyway? Usually it's a rule it's even split I think 2 and 2?) I think we'll give a good account of ourselves. Draw.
