100k cctv and sniffer dogs

[Gatecrasher]

An over the top reaction to a couple of isolated incidents. LD admits the current CCTV is better than what most Scottish clubs have in place and is excellent then why spend £100k upgrading it? Also on top of that they are looking at undercover stewards and sniffer dogs? I decided to cancel my HSL d/d because the club obviously don't need the money after all. It all sounds like something out of a cold war era spy film no going to a bloody game of football.

That 100k could be given to Heckingbottom to get a few more players in.

Really doubt the club are spending transfer money on this. More likely to be some cash reserves for things like this. Rather spend 100k now than get rimmed by Uefa if something happened at a euro game.

Because money hasnt been spent how you'd like you've decided the club do not need it?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Dogs don't work in the rain.

FFS, I wish someone had mentioned this before now.

We've put a deposit down for a Labradoodle later in the year and it's not cheap. Now you're telling me it won't work in the rain? Will it just cease functioning while its raining or can it be permanently damaged?

I (used to) pay a d/d over and above what I already put in through merch and ST. If the club think its appropriate to spend that kind of money on CCTV then my money is clearly better off in my bank.

So the club spend money on improving safety standards at games and you cancel your DD that goes straight to the managers budget? That's a leap.

They're spending 100K upgrading the system because a complete ****ing roaster nearly hit a player with a glass bottle. Somebody at their work got a bottle thrown at them. That's the bottom line here.

They couldn't be identified and therefor the club have had their hand forced in order to uprgrade the system and not have the issue again.

Can someone please explain why it is an over-reaction?

Seems a bit OTT.

Less than what we'll be fined / lose out on in games played behind closed doors if this nonsense continues.

How is that a leap? Where would that money be spent if it wasn't going to CCTV? So the managers budget is being reduced anyway and I don't want to subsidise the tattoo reading cameras. No one has forced hibs hand on this and I don't see anyone else taking extra measures.

Yeah a fud threw a a bottle of Buckie but plenty of matches pass without any incident at all thats why it's an over reaction.

I spoke with a dog trainer who works in the prison service, I was surprised they had dogs that could sniff out phones the inmates had.

she assured me they could train a dog to find absolutely anything, in a maximum of 2 weeks. often much less.

flares etc - no problem!

You’re not wrong with this.

I have a neighbour with a collie. The dog barks if it sees me wearing brown shoes with black trousers.

It may be a fashion police dog, but I’m sure flares will be no problem 😉

Spending 100k on new cctv systems & bringing in sniffer dogs to detect drugs or pyro.

Where is this being reported?

EDIT - Got it.....

They're even able to sniff out electronics like Penn drives etc. Amazing creatures.

Be afraid if they sit down after sniffing you!

[cabbageandribs1875]

i predict a time will come when a flare thrower is going to get a sore jaw from one of his fellow fans you have/will cost the club/team you profess to love...D1CKHEID

I am with you, total over reaction, seriously considering stopping my HSL, was planning to buy three season tickets tomorrow having second thoughts now, i want my money put to players, LD needs to concentrate on that aspect of the club. Where does this end, better not fart or you will be banned, years of listening to bigots singing at Easter Road and she says and does nothing.

Off you pop then pal. The ****ing idiots in our support have caused this. Why you don’t direct your anger towards them rather than the woman who has helped turn this club around I don’t know but this season we’ve seen a glass bottle thrown on the pitch, the Tavernier incident, stewards being spat at, countless flares, endless lines of coke in the toilets.

If that is on the same level as a “fart” to you then **** knows how you’ve gotten this far in life.

Would be good if they could upgrade the tannoy when they are at it.

Give it rest. Not upgrading the Tannoy meant we got Horgan. Having to upgrade the CCTV will cost us McNulty

If we continue to have people who break the law ,it maybe we will have strict liability enforced by the SG. If that happens the club could be fined and parts of the ground closed if people continue to break the law.

Should be ok in the morning if you leave it in rice overnight

[Up The Bracket]

My HSL has been cancelled also - frustrating paying £360 per annum of my hard earned cash being told its needed to help the manager when we have a spare £100k we can chuck at fancy cameras.

Season ticket of course already renewed, and will never not renew cause it’s what I love but I’m not throwing money I can spend on myself and my loved ones when that’s what the club are forking out for.

On the other hand, if Hibs hand over filed footage of identified bigots chanting away then I'm sure the police can deal as appropriate.

Sounds a great idea!

Really it should be for the government/SPFL to set standards for CCTV which clubs should then follow. At the moment it looks excessive from us.

Government would set minimum standards. We are going the extra mile to mitigate then now proven risk at ER caused by jakey millennials who have a selfish sense of entitlement to do as they please even if it is detremental to everyone else

[Iggy Pope]

I’m amazed (and disappointed) that we didn’t have adequate CCTV in place before now without it affecting player budget, which is what loads of you now appear to be dropping on your knees at. Player budgets shouldn’t be affected by infrastructure, every available penny of STs goes to the manager, blah blah blah.
I’m a contributor to HSL, not one of yer Ponzi zealots, but for now me and my sniffer dug smell sheeeeite.

[ElginHibbie]

Club was already going to be making upgrades before the recent incidents were they not? So would think most of this cost has already been budgeted for, paid for over a number of years and won't actually impact the playing budget much. But that doesn't get a reaction, saying £100k does

As probably looking to attract new shirt sponsors and the like for next season this is all seems to me to be PR to try ensure no businesses are scared off due to recent incidents

They’ll be queuing up to shoot you for this. Cancelling your HSL as some form of protest will attract smart arse response from several who wouldn’t know an HSL contribution if it bit them on the bum.
Been there a while back. (I got so bored in the end though I didn’t bother cancelling).
