Would there be merit in making the whole of the South Stand for Home fans, and segregate about 1/3 of the main stand for away fans, adjusting allocation depending on game?
Apart from giving the Jambos the full stand just so we get the same back, what would be the pros and cons?

700 new season tickets holders already is incredible.
15000 is a genuine possibility

I’ve got my son a season ticket in the west upper but I don’t take him every game, if I never got him a season ticket he wouldn’t have been to many games, none actually apart from the league cup games as there’s no seats beside me in the West. When I got him the season ticket I thought he’d maybe get to 4 games in the season but it’s probably closer to 7.

We need to be selling out Easter Road on a regular basis and not just one or two seasons before we can even imagine the corners being filled in.
I miss the Bobby Williamson days when you could get a whole row to yourself and you didn't have to queue for a pee or chips.

Also need Hibs to look at better exits for the east.... or at least force those who leave early to actually exit!! Sick of waiting for 20 mins to get out after a match all cos one or two fans decide to leave on 85 mins then block the exits!!!

As for the £25 kid tickets, do you not need to buy an adult ticket at the same time? You couldn't just buy one yourself (as an adult), never use it and upgrade it for the big games?Mon the Hibs.

couple of recent posts re-exits are quite valid points. If you are leaving, bloody well leave. don't bugger around at the bottom, or at least find a spare seat doon there. don't know what can be done though to make exits easier.

Back in the day my dad used to always get us out early to avoid the flow of people after the game and perhaps beat some traffic, we never loitered watching the last 5 mins in the concourse or exit.
Stewards should be on hand to keep the people flowing out of the stadium, all it take is one small group of people standing at the bottom of the stairs to keep others who genuinely are LEAVING stuck on the stairs.
I’ve always said I dread to think what would happen in the event of a fire but realistically folk wouldn’t loiter to watch the place burn down and a steady flow would be achieved. On this point I still dread the potential panic and perhaps dangerous crush to leave in such a case.
Before even thinking of filling the corners I would hope Hibs are considering at least 3 Upper exits that could be built to the rear of the East, either internally or externally, one at either end and one centrally.... thus easing exits.
Those in the first half of the East (from front to back) maybe don’t experience the delay as such and don’t appreciate the frustration the rest of us put up with.

When I do stay until the end it's a pain to get out, I'm not as far back as you so can imagine it being worse but I don't know how much worse.
I agree about back exits - I wonder how feasible that is to add now.Mon the Hibs.

The number/width of the 'vomitories'(let's just call them exits) in the East are inadequate for the number of seats.
The other stands have roughly one exit per 400 seats, but in the East it's roughly 800, despite the exits being no wider
Sorry, but that's just bad design.

I wonder how close we are to cutting the Old Firms allocation? With the way sales are going it should be inevitable IMO

When there is a televised game on there are usually people still trying to leave when from the back of the East when the camera turns to the media box after the advert break at the end of the game.
As has been said earlier, there are no stewards on hand to move people on as they are pitch side.
At the last home game a scuffle broke out when folk were leaving, for why I don't know and at the last home game against Celtic where we drew someone behind me asked those standing on the stairs to worker find a seat or leave, this was met with a challenge to step outside,,,,

Just how many can we sell? If we were to sell out all the green seats in the 3 home stands (everything bar the central section of the west upper) That would give us 15,200. Then say the first 2 sections in the south lower as Cat begins season's would put us just over 16,000.
Thats maybe pushing it too far but 16K would be a real statement.

Anyone done a season ticket dot count recently? There really can't be that many left - will be interesting to see if much becomes available after 1 June.

£25 plus 6 x £22 ( cost to upgrade) =£157 . Saving a measly £11 ,, nah .
Imo like myself , I dont take 3 of my ST kids to night games as they are too young with School next day . The winter games are too cold for the same 3 , so it’s just me and the oldest that goes every game . But all 5 go when it’s warmer weather.SCOTTISH CUP WINNERS 2016

The West isn't designed for segregation whereas the South is. Sections 10,11 and 12 have a common access and I suspect it will be the same for sections 1 to 4 below. Given that the police wouldn't allow us to be above away fans, or vice versa, you'd be losing all seven sections. Most of the seats there are already occupied by season ticket holders who would need to be moved out but may not want to sit in the South. Look at the complaints from those moved to accommodate the singing section, those being displaced from section 50 and those in the Famous Five Lower who no longer have children as part of their group.
You'd also have the problem of moving the Hibs fans from the South twice a season to accommodate the Hearts fans. Again, most of those would be season ticket holders.
The South is the correct place for the away fans and can be split as required.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.
