I’m sure if desperately needed in the future, even the other 2 corners with the slopes could be filled - would need to be a single tier, like the ones at Ibrox though. Could be wrong!

The North East corner is clearly the easiest and has ample space to put a good sized structure in as well as a seating deck.
Would be very interesting to see a feasibility on filling that corner with safe standing and creating a supporters bar and the like behind. There is even scope to have part of the building well beyond the footprint of a ‘simple’ squaring off of the stands at the back while also linking with both stands and connecting the Famous 5 and East at the ground level.
It would also have the benefit of being the perfect spot for the singing section.
Not beyond the realms of possibility that if the club produced the plans and the estimated costs that the support might not rally itself to raise the funds (or root about for a couple of mystery benefactors!)....

I can’t see the club ever building a bar that only opens 20 days a year. That would be a giant waste of money.

Just renewed my two season tickets.
Great time to be a Hibby and loving attending matches with my son.
I hope all the people around us renew too.

I’m not saying it will score high on the cost / benefit scale hence why I suggested a supporter led campaign to raise the funds.
It’s also true that many people said exactly the same as you have regarding the East Stand and we now know that was spectacularly short sighted so I see nothing wrong in speculating how we could expand the capacity as well as the utility of our stadium.
First team first of course but none the less I think a filled in North / East corner would be an excellent addition

Next season, on the basis the SPFL are being fair on the fixture allocation, we will have 2 home games against each of the cheeks and 1 against the poppy thieves before the split. Throw in the Aberdeen match and that’s six 20,000+ sells outs. Given I expect us to be challenging for at least second place (hopefully top spot) we are likely to see increased attendances for the Motherwell, Killie, St J etc. matches.
Knowing that there is likely to be less walk ups available then that may convince more people to buy season tickets to guarantee they can get to these matches. Could we get to the scenario where there is a waiting list for season tickets? That would be some situation for us to be in!

Just got my first ever season ticket Incentive for me was actually being able to guarantee a decent seat every game in comparison to this season where I usually had to settle for seats that were squashed up in the corner.

A football club is a complete package, its as bad to neglect its off field activities as it is to neglect its activities on the field. Easter Road is a very good stadium, but its far from complete and to simply sit back and say 'aye good enough' cant be what this club is about .... perhaps the FF / east corner isn't a priority, but its development along with the rest of the stadium should always be on the table. As I've said before, Easter Road is very good .. it has the potential to be brilliant.
As for the supporter's bar ..... For me it was never just about profit. IMO the bar was a connection between the club and its every day ordinary supporters who maybe couldn't afford hospitality and its presence was a sign that Hibs didn't just look on the fans as just folk paying at the gate or loads of money for speciality packages. Besides that, where is it written that a supporters bar just has to be open on matchdays? If Hibs were to run it along the lines of a Wetherspoons and keep it open during the week there is no reason IMO why it couldn't at least break even ... cheap & cheerful seems to work fine for some.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. For non season ticket holders the recent scramble for tickets in games has been a real surprise (or reality check 😉) - this would have been almost an unthinkable situation 4-5 seasons ago

Deluding ourselves as we're deep financial trouble, tick tock, etc etc according to Kickback experts, who have expertise in such matters. They are first people I turn to for advice on Hibs finances.

I hope they do the corners at some point.
Worth it just to annoy the Hearts fans. And it’ll look good on the telly.

If the value against cost was favourable it would increase the playing budget even further in future seasons.
I wonder if a feasibility study with HSE and cost versus value for temporary seating in one of the corners for the season.
Probability of 6 home sell outs ( Hearts, Celtic, the rangers) + Aberdeen games and a good cup draw.
Hibs finish well this season, I am confident Season ticket sales will be over 15,000.
The temporary seating may add a further 1/2k tickets available,.

For my part, as someone who doesn’t live in Edinburgh and has always just bought single tickets to games, I’d love to buy a season ticket to help the club plan for next season, and the added bonus that I’d be guaranteed a seats for derbies etc. however I’m reluctant in that I don’t want to deprive local hibees a place for games that I maybe can’t get to.

^^^ Buy one at the edges of one of the stands. Apparently no one likes these seats anyway.
Then when you can get to a game call the ticket office and swap your ST seat for one that you prefer or near your mates or whatever.
Your ST seat can then be sold so no one is deprived of seeing us beat Hearts again

That’s what I did last year, bought two near the sides and then switched to two bang on the centre line and in prime spot. Had to be organised on the day but it was worth it.

As you say it’s all about having ambition to keep progressing on and off the park. Successful clubs do both.

For those saying don't do it, it's short time pain for long term gain.
And a supporters bar, in collaboration with the Hibs Supporters Club might work for both parties.
I'd hate to think we'd regularly have to turn supporters away, or even put them off, even a wee tiny bit, from coming along.Space to let
