Petty Gripes about the club as at 22nd August 2018

**itslegaltender** · 22-08-2018 10:02 AM

From a purely petty and personal point of view, the state of the ground between the East and the pitch really gets on my thruppenys.

For the time it would take to do a bit of weeding, it would stop my OCD kicking in every match. Been like that for the last 3 or 4 years.

Get in touch with the club and volunteer. Seriously. Win win situation.

My gripe is the state of the catering setup, although having said that, I just don't use it.

Mine is the time to exit the East. People start leaving 5 mins early to walk down the stair and beat the crowd.

Also, the East PA system but that’s been done to death

It’s the ones who get up to leave then decide they’re going to stand on the stairs that do my head in. Saying that not sure what the club can do about it.

Do away with a few seats up the back and build exit stairs from there down?

Or lots Big fireman’s poles?

Probably far to expensive for something so petty so I expect it’ll still be my gripe in 20 years time.

Stewards should do there jobs and tell them to keep moving ....

Food quality and variety plus the cost plus not taking contactless payments.

Terrible PA system in East - like the food been rubbish for years and not improved. Sort it out Hibs !!!!

Recycling - club needs to do more to stop littering and provide recycling bins.

Cycling access - safe bike storage to encourage fans to cycle

Go Green should be the campaign.

Singing section should be FF Lower

Empty seats in FF Lower when sold.

Just a few minor moans...

The badge doesn't show up properly on a green top. They should reverse the colours, so the writing is green on a white background.

That's my 'petty gripe' for today :-)

***Sean1875*** · 22-08-2018 10:50 AM

Ah good, a whole thread dedicated to moaning about things to do with Hibs, just what this place needs.

👍 Thread should be Shutdown. Always easier to moan than give credit.

**Pretty Boy** · 22-08-2018 10:57 AM

Things are generally so good now that we are reduced to finding petty things to moan about. It was never like this under Fenlon or Butcher.

We need a really crap manager next just to get our mojo back.

**SChibs** · 22-08-2018 11:55 AM

Mentioned it plenty times on here already but fans that constantly slate the team whilst at the game get on my nerves. If you shout abuse, excessively/needlessly moan at players or do anything that could negatively affect our players then you aren't supporter. The clue being in the word SUPPORTer. Imo going to a game is about getting behind the team to help them win, a good game and being entertained is a welcome bonus.

**Eaststandee** · 22-08-2018 12:00 PM

What a strange thread to start

**Austinho** · 22-08-2018 12:03 PM

The fact the East Stand makes the ground so asymmetrical.

The state of the Famous Five and Dunbar End roofs.

**monarch** · 22-08-2018 12:14 PM

The length of the queues for the toilet at half time, due to the sell out crowds, are a disgrace. Makes me long for the halcyon days of the bottom six and crowds of 8000.
Lennon - do something about it.

**SaulGoodman** · 22-08-2018 12:15 PM

The fact that the clubs twitter states "The official account of the Scottish Cup winners 2016" even though it's two years later.

**SaulGoodman** · 22-08-2018 12:17 PM

Ps. I thought the thread was lighthearted, as in "the squad side is good so what do we have to moan about these days" type of thing.

Could do with a lick of paint on the roof of the south and FF

My good deed for the day – demonstrating that this doesn't look good, so you can stress about it no more

Only other option would be to put it in a white circle as shown above, or a shield like so:

They were actually doing that on Sunday there, also stopping folk congregating in the disabled areas which annoyed a few grumpy hibbies.

The fact that the FF and South don't extend all the way to the corners of the east stand, making it look slightly detached from the rest of the stadium and the fact that the roofs on both stands don't extend further outwards towards the pitch.

If the whole east cost 3 million quid then you are probably talking about a million quids worth of work because you could only extend the bottom deck of the south to meet the east and you wouldn't need any fixtures or fittings, just the basic seating decks and roof extension. It would make the stadium look far better.

***allezsauzee*** · 22-08-2018 12:43 PM

the fact that i can't get a row of seats to myself any longer because we have a very watchable team and a feel good factor at the club. Boooo! bring back Pat Fenlon!

***thebakerboy*** · 22-08-2018 12:45 PM

Wifi system in the stadium would be quite good as with the bigger crowds getting on phone for scores etc at half time is now not easy. Well the OP did ask for petty moans.

**~~IGRIGI~~** · 22-08-2018 12:47 PM

Been mentioned already but the amount of empty seats in the FF Lower, it's laughable to claim 18 / 19k plus etc if the FF lower is 80% empty.

I don't know why the club are so against moving the family area, surely it's better for the players to be playing towards a bouncing singing section rather than a half empty stand?

***duffers*** · 22-08-2018 12:48 PM

I hate the fact we are decent now.

I remember when I used to walk into the harp and get a pint without a massive queue at the bar, stroll up to the ground at 5 to, and be in my seat for 4 to. Select a decent group of seats for a large sized group instead of being put on the wings of one of the stands, never fear about whether you are going to get a ticket for Tynecastle or not. Take 5 minutes after the game to get out Easter road and the surrounding areas instead of the half hour tailbacks. And then we've got the financial side of things, these European games and constant cup runs are costing a fortune.

Sort it out Hibs, time to get rid of Leeann, Lennon and the whole backroom staff

I wasn't there on Sunday, so perhaps it's a new thing. On most match days, the stewards are already pitch side by the time the game ends so they're not in a position to manage the crowds.
I sit towards the bottom of section 39 in the East and due to the increased crowds attracted by the upturn in our teams performances, the congregators have become mildly irritating. Folk leave early but don't "leave" so they block the view of those seated or hinder the egress for those in wheelchairs who genuinely do want to leave so as to escape the crowds.
