    Regards seating, I had taken time to go to Easter Road and purchase my ticket, so was not prepared to hunt for an available seat. Someone was in my ticketed seat when I arrived, I asked him politely to move, which he did, no problem.....

    We arrived about 2.30 on Saturday and were queueing for about 15 minutes when a steward told us the second stand was opening but there would be no catering facilities. We went round and got in no problem. Initially I thought good job done with kick off slightly delayed. On reading the posts here it appears as though fans were still getting in to the original stand after it was full. Why didn't they simply re-direct everyone to the other stand?

    Despite Blackpool Hibs flipant take on things, that is serious. (Forget how Hillsborough started? Too many folk in the same terracing.) I know that we normally won't be in a position like this but for the 3rd time this season Hibs fans have been exposed to potential danger due to incompetent policing/stewarding.

    What if there had been a fire at Motherwell? We couldn't make out the announcements and were left standing there. It appeared that the stewards/police didn't know what to do either. There was no leadership at all.

    According to fans the steps at Tannadice were getting blocked for a while creating a high risk (I wasn't there so can't comment myself).

    Now Saturday's shambles. Once again a lack of leadership was very evident. In addition, another point which no-one has commented on is the fact that no stewards were in front of the Hibs fans in the wee stand. Infact ,there were very few stewards in that stand. In the event of an emergency what would have happened?

    A pattern has developed and it is important these problems are addressed before someone gets hurt.
    The stand was not full. From my seat, which was pretty central, I could see DOZENS of empty seats. If that was replicated throughout the stand there must have been hundreds of free seats. I would estimate around 150 fans moved to the other stand. The problem was that they were mostly single seats so folk didn't want to use them as they'd no be sat with their mates. If the stand had hit capacity, the turnstyles would be closed.

    Which is a shame. Would rather have Dunfermline in the SPL than Ross County. Can't see us taking 3,000 plus to Dingwall
