The club would have known that there would be a lot of table thumping and gnashing of teeth over the announcement (have already done so myself), but like the fall out over sectarianism/Rangers/ban them etc, after a bit of noise for a couple of days it’s soon forgotten about and the fans just turn up at 12.30 for the derby as ultimately we all want to see Hibs play.
The sectarian outrage will return around the time of the next Rangers fixture and the next fixture change for TV/PPV will prompt more annoyance but it’s short term.
Football clubs and authorities play us, and we always end up playing along.

Surely hertz supporters without tickets will want to watch the game as well as hibbies who can't get to ER?

I think this decision should have been down to Lee Johnson. It’s easy to say we’re doing what we can to make more money.
But the only consideration should be - does this help us win the game? Any small benefit that helps us win this game keeps us in touch of 3rd place. That’s the ultimate revenue boost.
It’s also tough to give the benefit of the doubt to BK when he’s been involved in a few commercial calls already that have cost us big money.

Do the clubs not have reciprocal arrangements for live feeds ie we give the stream to Hearts and they overlay their own commentary for their PPV. We might actually make more money for them than us with this decision

Adult gold ST early bird this season was £420.
If you go to all 19 home games then it costs £22.11 per game.
18 games = £23.33
17 games = £24.71
A cat A walk-up is £35
Cat B is £28.
Assuming top 6 then 6 walk-up cat A games is £210 and 13 cat B is £364 so a total of £574. ST is a total saving of £154 if all 19 games attended.
(Don't know if Aberdeen is cat A or B, have based the above on it being B)
I could miss 2 cat A games and 3 cat B and would effectively break even. Though a ST has other benefits such as first dibs on cup final tickets, discount at kiosks, free ticket for a friendly, probably a better seat than a walk-up etc. So even missing those 5 games and the ST is a better deal.

Disappointed beyond any words that our club have made this decision. I know there is nothing I can do beyond not using my season ticket that day which makes it even harder to accept.

Short term thinking for a negligible amount of cash.
It will bite them in the arse, eventually.Last edited by Chorley Hibee; 15-03-2023 at 05:43 PM.

Walk ups don't have to go if it's pissing of rain, freezing or they can't be arsed.
Fire up their firestick, grab the snacks of choice and Bobs yer auntie.

Is there somewhere to find the PPV viewing figures?

Also the atmosphere at 12.30 is significantly worse than it would be at 3pm or later - there is no doubt about that. An early KO takes away from the big game experience.

Will still be a really good crowd if not close to sell out + a good amount of people taking up the PPV option. A sensible financial decision from the club.

I think commercially Hibs have made some good decisions recently. I attended the Pioneers hospitality for the Kilmarnock game and the place was mobbed and the experience brilliant. Great food and great service.
However, deciding to move the time of this game for PPV is a shocker. A real kick in the teeth for supporters planning to attend the game. I'd like to know who made this decision - our CEO? If so, he needs to show face and explain his decision.

With the price PPV is usually priced at you need to sell a few passes to equal the value of one match ticket. And I can’t imagine Hearts agreeing to it without getting their cut either.
Most important thing is that we sell every seat in the stadium. Hopefully this doesn’t contribute to that not happening at the same time as pissing off a number of people who actually go.
