When we built the East, many feared it would be a waste, indeed the first game was against the old Rangers and it was no where near sold out.
Fast forward and the three home stands are packed and we now actually have fans in the "away" stand.
Where will we be in five years time?

Were most of the kicks for kids season tickets not bought in FF stand? Might explain the empty seats

The old FF Lower debate really wasn't my intention with this thread...
However, I know the club is looking into this to try and fix it. I think a few simple rules such as:
- There must be an under 18 member of any party to be able to purchase a ST in the section
- This under 18 member must attend at least 50%(? - or other random proportion) of games to enable tickets to be purchased in future for this section.
It must be difficult for people to get into this stand now, which needs fixed, but I also think it's important to have a family stand, as it encourages our next generation.

Sadly I think the club should start doing that.
I'm trying to encourage a couple of kids along to games and would love to be able to take them into the FF Lower, usually with at least one other adult, but getting 4 or more seats together is just not an option... which is ridiculous when there must be at least 500 empty seats every game.
I have to be honest, even though I would love to see Hibs Fans in the South Stand against the OF in every match, I actually think there's (currently) more than enough seats empty in the other stands at those games to accommodate the extra few hundred supporters... but it's impossible to utilize those seats.

Yeah, sorry to put a dampener on such a positive thread.
TBH, I think we owe most of the progress in crowd numbers to the Scottish Cup win.

And it appears a fair few of them were Celtic supporters. Look at how many of them are sitting down as he is celebrating sitting very close to the Celtic end.

While I appreciate that folk may have been in the Famous Five for a long time it is a family stand and we need to keep it as such. It is the best way to develop our fan base in the long term.
Once groups no longer have children they should move to other parts of the stadium.Last edited by PatHead; 18-12-2018 at 01:23 PM.

Could be worse.
If the seats were painted yellow we could have copied all the Hearts fans dressed as seats at Livi on Friday night!!

Add to that the fact that Adult & OAP prices are also a lot cheaper than the rest of the stadium.
