...and so is everybody in the FF and South stands. God help us if Petrie ever fills in the corners then😆

Charge them more money, I agree with all who suggested this. If they want the better seat with extra legroom on a plane, you gotta pay a premium and so they should! And if they don't want to, then that's their choice so they can't blame anyone. Simple really.
Less desirable maybe but awful? You don't think that's taking it too far? I would argue there is no such thing as an awful view at ER. Just ask the people sat behind a control room at Tynecastle.
I imagine that the occupants of these rather good seats in the FF have had to pinch themselves at their good fortune for four or five years. If they are being realistic, they will have known it would come to an end one day.
Let's be serious the club haven't just done this as a spur of the moment decision. It's obviously been thought through and looked into and decided that it is best for the club to go forward with this.
Time will tell if it is successful but I doubt the club would take the decision to inconvience supporters lightly
How did the people in them manage to get they seats in the first place? Imo it should be seen as privileged to be sitting in the comfy seats with no extra charge so I don't see why they shouldn't accept moving to benefit the club.
OK for arguments sake it was decided by health and safety that on the east terracing section 41 (half way line) that rows S and T had to be taken away to make a pathway between 39 and 42 purely for safety reasons as there is a big gap from top to bottom in the case of an emergency, would they season ticket holders be annoyed ?? course they would be. Only an example not in the know, well maybe I am, so plan where you guys are going to sit season after next, suggest the ends of the east terracing because that will be the only available space.
Unless I've missed it, no one has said it is?
Of course they are going to be a tad put out if they can't find seats that they consider to be decent though, as would most people.
I agree they have to move and the club are doing the best they can but I can understand their frustration.
My seats are Barry , this is fun !
:na na:
In which section? Not doubting you but maybe need to check it out myself. In the mean time, seems to me there are a number of good seats available in the FF but if there are 250 people looking for seats right now it may be prudent for those affected to get one of those sooner rather than later.
I'm sure a few would be disgruntled, but me personally I would not. I understand the frustration of having to move don't get me wrong, but it's just that in my opinion. Absolutely no reason to stop buying a season ticket or trying to get a group together to try and halt stadium improvements.
Does other people having to move make you feel better?
Have to agree with that, though I'd extend it a bit further than just 1 and 2.
I think the club should assist the current ST holders in Section 50 by helping them to find seats with a decent view, either in FF Upper or in reasonably good seats in the East or West.
Haven't read the whole thread so apologies in advance if this point has been clarified. Is it confirmed the move is for hospitality of are people just assuming this?
I sit in s50 and have done for about 5 years. The issue as I understand it is that these seats are not being sold at the price that the club believes that they are valued at. They are legacy seats that were used for CH when CH was in the FF stand. IMO the seats are being sold at a very good price to the fans. They do not come with CH now. If the club was to add another hundred pound that would still be a fair price IMO.
This thread has some weird arguments going on.
It is so, so simple.
The club seem to be saying that there's new plans for certain seats in the next season or so, so it's advisable for those in the seats right now to start thinking now about moving to a new location.
Any season ticket holder in any part of the stadium would have an issue with that if they couldn't find similar quality seats elsewhere for their wee group (and I don't mean nice, soft and roomy!) .
The question now is how are Hibs going to facilitate the impacted fans getting seats with a similar quality view elsewhere in the stadium?

This topic seems to have died a bit, looking at the prices for this Thursdays game v Molde our seats in section 50 are classed as executive seats for purchasing with an adult price of £32.00 compared to £23.00 for the rest of the FF upper. Maybe an indication as to what may happen next season. A price hike now looks very likely if we want to keep sitting where we are.
This way the club gets out of forcing season ticketholders to move, as they might do it themselves, if the increase is on the high side
Seems fair. I do though think the club can move fans as it requires for commercial or H&S reasons. Many of us sit in seats that are not ideal particularly the PATG folk. My own seat was not a first choice and it has no added features. Maybe you guys could crowd fund me to the posh seats. :greengrin
Not clear why they want the seats, so it’s difficult to have a hard opinion. ST seating has issues at all clubs
