FAO Season Ticket Holders In Section 50

[Mikey]

That's the black seats in the Upper FF. Could you drop me a PM if you have a season ticket in Section 50.

It's about the club's proposal to move us out of that section from season 2019/20.

If you are trying to get support against the planned move by the club you can count on myself and family friends (total 11) season ticket holders in section 50

What's the reason behind the move?

Wasn't sure if it was to do with the singing section

[Skol]

Fans reps should be able to help

More people in the section starting to find out about this now I think Mike. Heard a few talking about it yesterday, our group will support anything that makes the club think twice about this.

We`re the same. We paid extra initially when we moved in there but they eventually made it the same price as the non padded seats. I think many in there have been through the "tough times" as well so this move if it happens would be a bit of a kick in the teeth and there`s not many decent seats left to move us to.

Thanks to those who have PM'd me. I'm still hearing from new people this morning so I'll give it until later today before replying.

Is there any reason that people are so precious about their seats other than the primary school attitude of “we were here first so eff off”?

Maybe because they like being their which is why they chose those seats?

You’ve probably got a point if there were loads of other seats to choose from but I can’t imagine there is. I’ve got a peach of a seat and I’d be mightily pissed off if Hibs insisted I moved and I had to choose a new one right now, whilst STs are at record numbers.

If hibs are desperate to get these seat back to use for hospitality then they need to offer the current holders equivalent seats in the stadium and maybe a free hospitality game as good measure

If the supporters aren’t willing to move or no equivalent seats can be found for them then IMO hibs need to then just work around it

They could just increase the price of the high demand seats? We are a business after all...

[Chuck Rhoades]

Very secret squirrel? Why has the decision been made to advertise this then hide the collective response to the club?

[60yearahibby]

Could it be that the club intend to remove the padded seats and replace them with standard ones. Such a plan would increase number of seats by 2 possibly 3 seats per row which would increase capacity in FF stand

I have sat in section 50 a few times. Stumbled across these seats once when I made a late decision to travel up. They are decent, bigger and padded. I'd pay more than the the 22 quid to sit in them. Great in the winter.

If that was the case, surely they would have said this in there communication to the current seat holders

We are in the same position re FF Lower (family stand). We had to relocate for this season because of the lift issue. We tried out various seats in other stands and believe me there are none suitable. We were given our current seats by the Club and have been told we’ll need to relocate next season again. I do not know where the club are going to put everyone they want to move. We actually wanted to keep our great seats in FF Upper for this season and relocate for any match my Mum could make. The Club said that wouldn’t be the best idea and practically forced us to move. It’s now backfired on us massively. How they are going to get round this is anyone’s guess but you’ll be hard pushed to find a decent seat elsewhere in the stadium.

Let me get this straight; you're paying the same as the rest of us but you've got a comfy, padded seat with plenty of legroom and the best view in the house, and you're whining about the "tough times" that the rest of us had to endure in crappy, hard, plastic seats?

There also wouldn’t be a need to move people out. From my experience of the Singing section and lift moves, you have very little chance of getting an equivalent decent seat elsewhere and it will probably be worse now than it was then.

I also think quite a few people moved into section 50 when they were moved from section 25, so it will be annoying for them to have to move again.
