Any word on final capacity yet, or are they still keeping it hush hush?

It'll be on the same page as the share certificates.

Hibs don't pass that charge on to the fans, it's absorbed by the club.

Yup, some of them are not happy -

'...... makes the admin charge even more annoying. Last year I had to call to pay, ordered 8 STs in the new stand (renewing from the old stand but obviously new seats for us all), paid on credit card and new cards were sent out. So from an admin perspective they've had to man a telephone, print cards & post cards and there was zero admin fee. This year they've added the season to my card, that's it.... £1.50 admin fe!'

'I get that it's an online thing for Ticketmaster and I can understand it for single match tickets (cup, away etc) but on the STs it is a piss take I'm afraid'

Are the natives starting to tipple ??. Getting the feeling they're a '4-5 run of games without a win' away from sliding back into real soapy again - fingers crossed !

8 months ago and now there could be at least 9 months left.

Ha! Great find.

I actually tried to search for Budge’s statement on “rescheduling” the work, but there have been so many of them.

Claiming there league position on the fact they played so many away games in a row without then acknowlodging that they’re squared up now home and away games wise. Your league position is because you’re crap ya clown, no cause you played more away games earlier in the season - something that you requested by the way.

It’s worse than that, they basically claim that the games at Murrayfield were away games!

The fact that to go to Murrayfield was their choice cuts no ice with the clowns.

Happy to claim the attendances to boost their average home gate though

First QF since 2012 lol

I'm not really sure Ann Budge "gets it"

It does prove that they really don’t care about the League Cup - they made the final of that in 2013.

It’s the Wee Cup when Hibs win it. By contrast when Hearts win it it’s .........

Sorry forgot about that!

They have had to back down and go back to the original age groupings.
U11 is gone and u13 is back. Still a massive price hike.
Apparently in the rush (why such a rush?) to launch the season tickets they created a whole new age band and change the qualifying dates by a month without realising it.

Yams will swallow it though.

Some of the Yams are not daft enough to swallow that explaination and are now calling them out as liars.

They didnt think their new concession structure through and its cost implication for families. The fans reaction was to downgrade a category or two cutting their potential revenue.

This was not a genuine error because it was rushed through it was decided weeks ago before their brochure
went to press. They are skint and tried to mug their own support and it was back-firing big time on them.

They are a bunch of shambolic amatuers behind the scenes blundering from one cock up to the next...long may it continue.

Or instead of dropping down a category or two they could reduce their FoH direct debits to balance it out.

Budge did not found the company, she was a co-founder with Alison Newell. Alison Newell was the majority shareholder and Ann Budge only acquired 100% control through a Management Buy Out in 2001 when Alison Newell decided to enjoy early retirement. Budge then flogged the company on to SOPRA. The French came in and she got booted as CEO.

Budge had good connections in the incestuous Edinburgh Financial sector in the days before Goodwin took the relatively tiny RBS on a global rampage, Bank of Scotland was still a small independent bank and Standard Life like the other two used Walker as a core system and the same wee group of people who went on the merry go round between the three were all part of the Barnton and D Mains dinner cicuit.

worked at Standard Life for a while. Their systems were honking and defo part of the old boy/girl network.

Wow. I heard about this the other day (among other horrendous stories). If that's the one I heard about the "wall" at the top of the stairs is a single sheet of plasterboard. H&S my left yak.

Still one of my favourite non Hibs matches ..... watching St Mirren lose a goal early and then come storming back with 3 of their own was hilarious, made even better by Hertz giving their fans false hope with an 85th minute goal

Incidentally, yet another big game where the famous didn't sell all the tickets available to them .... St Mirren complained long and loud about their measly 15,000 allocation ( which they sold out ) and yet the attendance was only 44,000.

This is taking Restricted View seating to new levels...and you cannot see the castle either.

You're just a Muggle. Everyone knows that's section 9 3/4 and leads direct to Leveins private box

Its like Harry Potters platform 9 3/4. It was a Craig Potter requirement. If you run fast enough into the wall you will magically enter Hearts trophy room full of Champions league trophys and double winning medals. Gary Mackays been trapped in there for years. It's a magical place.

A proper main stand has two tiers. It seems the architect forgot they were doing the cheap version.

**Skol** · 24-03-2018 05:32 PM

It was going to be the trophy room, but then they realised they dont need one

***Not In The Know*** · 24-03-2018 06:29 PM

Is this 100% genuine?
