Good statement from LD and a reasonable target. It would amazing to reach 10000. I'm surprised that 2000 existing ST holders have not renewed.

[Nutmegged]

Interesting, I follow a chap on Twitter called @AgentScotland and today he posted what he called projected Season Ticket sales, he said Hibs 9-10k which considering we had sold around 8 last year and its our 3rd year in the Championship I felt that might be a tad optimistic, funny how she comes out hours later with a similar statement, she follows him/her too...

Anyways, 10k would be unbeleivable, I love when the club make statements like this, we need to put that expectation out there, we need to onus on fans to come to games, keep promoting, like it, good stuff from LD

[Gatecrasher]

To get back to 10k would be great cmon guys it'll be fun :flag:

[bingo70]

Really good statement and refreshing honesty about where we are and where we want to be numbers wise.

Can't help but think she's pre-empting what most will see as an ambitious appointment (assuming it's Lennon) and really hoping to build on the excitement that currently surrounds the club. In the new head coach announcement I'm sure there'll be a few references to the 10k target and quite rightly so.

Not really surprised, between the loyalty points and remaining in the second tier of Scottish football and season tickets remaining high I don't think it should shock anyone. Personally I renewed as did my son but have to say did think about going walk up at one point. Also planning to buy my two nephews season tickets as their first game was the Scottish cup final, in their world right now Hibs are brilliant.

[Pete]

Make family pricing apply in the East or West lower instead of the FF lower and I think we'll get 10000 no bother.

[Carheenlea]

Good statement, and a good target to aim for.

[lyonhibs]

Fairly poorly worded with the "don't just watch from afar, get yourself to Easter Road" as if far away supporters are just sitting there with our fingers up our ***** choosing to stay away.

Otherwise, a great statement and great aim to go for.

[Joe]

Don't think they would have put a target on it and gone public about it if they we're confident of getting it. Then everyone gets to feel good about themselves and gives us a surge in sales. Would be brilliant to hit 10K.

With us in the second tier we'd still only just be behind Aberdeen who are second top and challenging. Seriously, what do their fans need to turn up?

[NAE NOOKIE]

Reaching 10,000 would be some going for a team in its 3rd season in the championship .... but ye gods we have to make it count if we do get to that figure because a 4th season would see a pretty big reduction.

A wee bit on Reporting Scotland just now about ST sales at the ugly sisters and the Yams ... as usual no mention of us, even on our search for a manager .. Hibs really is a dirty word to those bassas.

Anyway ... if ye huvnae bought yin yet, how no? ....... get yer finger oot !!!

Payment plan available until this Friday too. They're making it as easy as they can for people.

Or a least a block in the east.

That's quite harsh. I didn't read it as a dig at fans in far fetched places at all. I read it as a call to fans who live locally but choose to watch our games in the pub or listen to it on the radio.

In any case, a new manager and a couple of exciting signings and I don't think we'll be a kick in the arse off 10k.

[ChrissyG1875]

I would like to get one before Friday so I can do the payment plan. I've been accepted into college but don't start until September so won't be getting a student card for a while. Does anyone know if there's a way I can get a student ST or do I need to wait until next season as I'm not technically a student yet?

:agree: clearly not aimed at overseas fans.

I'll be very disappointed if we can't get to 10k season tickets on the back of a Scottish Cup win.

That final was amazing, the parade was amazing, and each time Easter Road was busy and we got a result (Aberdeen/Dundee Utd/Hearts/The Rangers) the buzz about the place was terrific.

The more folk go, the better it is, the better we are.

Whether it's Lennon or someone else, what a boost to them coming in it would be to have the extra financial backing that 10k season tickets would give him.

For last seasons they just asked me to send proof of ID once I received it, I have also bought a student ST for this season as well and once I recieve my student ID, I will just have to send them proof 👍 Maybe forwarding an acceptance email will help?

You don't need to show your Student ID until October so you can get it fine now.

We should be looking at 10000 minimum.

If folk ain't returning as Scottish Cup champions, they're never coming back.

A club our size should always be looking for around 10K ST holders, even more so after finally winning the SC. However, a third season in the Championship makes it a challenging target to hit. Bottom line it's expensive for poor quality football, and a lot of fans simply can't afford an ST, though they'd like one.

My laddie was in the same position!
He bought the season ticket as a student and they gave him ticket's up until he could produce proof Of his student card.
Ticket office are very helpful, pop down and speak to them.👍

[NAE NOOKIE]

Conjecture mate ..... whose in the frame? ... who might get it? ... what are the fans saying? ............... It is after all one of the top 5 jobs in Scottish football, even if we are in the championship.

[Finn2015]

I'm sure the majority of the 2,000 will renew. Summer and holidays are an expensive time so maybe a lot are hanging fire for a few weeks

[OsloHibs]

If folk ain't returning as Scottish Cup champions, they're never coming back.

My thoughts exactly. The club has done everything it can.

[blackpoolhibs]

Here's a thought, maybe i'm right maybe i'm wrong? Of those 150k people who were at the parade, 140k don't go regularly or even at all?

Perhaps if we do reach 10k, in my opinion thats a very good amount for the division we play in.

I'd say there's still some folk to come back who will come back, but they are still not that bothered about watching Dumbarton and the likes.

As hard as it is for some to believe, not everyone is a die hard.

[B.H.F.C]

8k at this stage isn't bad at all IMO. There was a number of games that we didn't have that in the ground last season, including walk ups, away fans etc.

10k is definitely achievable with a good managerial appointment.

[Jones28]

Magic, cheers. That's us on 8001 now then

Well "afar" to me does not mean "within striking distance of ER but choose to not go".

Anyway, perhaps it's just poorly worded. I hope we get to 10k and more.

There will be many in the same boat, mate. Modern prices are extremely high, particularly for families, though at least Hibs are doing something via the FF kids tickets. It's a real shame there are people who want to attend and we have the empty seats. Surely it can't be impossible to do something about it.

Thought they were paying to watch Hibs.......

I think for it to be enjoyable though and to get folk back it needs to be good competitive games with both teams trying to win....or us thumping teams that come with the only intention of defending for 90 minutes.

Dull narrow victories against really bad teams isn't enjoyable and not likely to entice people back.

Rightly or wrongly we need to try and push on regardless and If we can't get people motivated on the back of the Scottish cup win then it's a sad day indeed.

FWIW - I'm going to buy my 1st ever ST for the laddie and me.

[Nicho87]

How many season ticket holders did we have last season then?
We have 8000 currently. 1000 new. 2000 to renew. So that would equal 6000 for last season? Maths was never my strong point.

Really good statement and refreshing honesty about where we are and where we want to be numbers wise.

Can't help but think she's pre-empting what most will see as an ambitious appointment (assuming it's Lennon) and really hoping to build on the excitement that currently surrounds the club. In the new head coach announcement I'm sure there'll be a few references to the 10k target and quite rightly so.


Actually I totally agree and you've put this well. Even though we're about to start our third season in the Championship and not solely because of the cup win, isn't this one of the most exciting and positive periods we've had in a while?

We've just lost a great manager in many respects and we seem to be getting excited about someone who can continue his good work and shore up the issues that we had as a club under his tenure.

I'm loving it right now.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Realistic if Hibs appoint Lennon and he's given the budget to strengthen the squad.

[Brooster]

Leanne wanted to issue a similar statement last season but after discussing it with a group of invited fans at a meeting she decided against it. But the time is absolutely right to do it now. I think we will easly pass the 10k mark. Lets do it.

I do too, there is a real feel good factor now and i get the feeling quite a lot of us want to jump on that bus.

Get a good start hopefully with a good name manager like Lennon and walk up fans will increase too. :agree:

If we look like we are going to win this league early on, crowds may increase even more, and maybe some of those who are not excited about watching some of the games in this league will also come back in preparation for next season too?

I hear you Bingo but it isn't that much different in the top flight.

Most of the SPL just sit in when away from home and make it a dull spectacle.

I dunno, take the Caley game for example, maybe slightly different with it being a cup game but I really really enjoyed it. It wasn't a classic but they brought some fans with them, there was a decent atmosphere, I felt if we dropped our guard at all they could score and likewise I thought we had space to work in their final third.

It probably wasn't a classic for a neutral but I felt it was a proper competitive game of football that could have gone either way, I just don't think we've really been getting that the last couple of years.

That'd be fine if we'd been pumping these rubbish teams by 4 or 5 but that just never really happened, except the Rangers and Cowdenbeath I think?

Stubbs is a hero of mine now and I don't want to talk the job he's done down but IMO the league performances last season were pretty poor and there's no stats out there that'll convince me otherwise.

9000 I make it. 8000 just now, including 1000 new ones. So 7000 renewals. 2000 are still to renew, so if they renew that would bring us up to 9000

[Ged]

It's always disappointing to see people argue so passionately and eloquently AGAINST fans buying a season ticket.

[Waxy]

Think we'll get a chunk of newbies turning up also due to our cup exploits. This group wouldnt go straight in and buy a season ticket.

Hibs should really think about you guys who attend infrequently.
Im sure they could do you a block of tickets say 6 that you can use whenever, there are plenty empty seats.
You could always swap the seat ticket if you wanted to sit with pals.

Just renewed mines and got colleague from work to get his first ever season ticket...

[hibsdaft]

Just renewed mines and got colleague from work to get his first ever season ticket...

this is the way.

it would be great if the club could use one of our early games for an 'bring the 150K back to ER' campaign, either with reduced ticket price or deducting ticket off future season ticket purchase, with the aim of letting folk bring work colleagues/ acquaintances along for a taster. not everyone will want to jump right into a season ticket (obviously superb if folk do though).

the goodwill is there for the Club to be creative, i think.

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

Good points.

Why cant you also select the games you want to attend? Yeah sure most would select thw derby and maybe aberdeen, but so what. Why cant you sell everygame now or do a cat A package or something like that? Surely cant be that difficult with e-ticketing?

The last time I looked, Hibs were not down to play Hearts or Aberdeen next season.

Having a Category A season ticket, for when Hibs are promoted, doesn't make a lot of sense to the club as they will involve matches that are easier to sell to walk-ups, at higher prices that a season ticket holder would pay.

A cheapo Category B season ticket would make more sense. I had one back in the mid-2000s. It covered all matches bar Hearts and the uglies. The seats could be situated in the east side of the South Stand which is empty for all matches not involving Hearts, Rangers, and Celtic.

There might be a case for a reduced match season ticket package aimed at long distance supporters who cannot commit to travel for every home match. Celtic did this very successfully in the early Fergus McCann era. This was aimed at their Irish support base. This could involve one match a month focussing on weekend matches with the most attractive matches included.

[CapitalGreen]

A 'Category A' game for me is any game involving Hibs. I'll get 18 'Category A' games with my 2016/17 season ticket.

[CraigHibee]

well done to everyone who has renewed and all the folk that have bought a season ticket for the first time in a while, i know due to work/family/financial commitments that not everyone can go to the games :flag:

Of course youre right about hearts and the dons, i was thinking ahead!

What you say about cat a may be true if there was limited supply, but thats not the case and so a bitd in the hand and all that - less money banked is more valuable than the possibilty of more in the future. And as i say, we can easily accomodate both.

Another problem it might help to solve is complacency. At the moment, a swithering fan knows they can decide at last poasible moment. If we start creating more demand, it might help to drive a bit of a virtuous cycle where fans know they have to buy earlier amd earlier.

The perceptiob that you might miss out is, IMO an important one for drivinf sales

[greenlex]

We will smash 10k no problem.

We've made suggestions like this before (I'm all for it - I suggested a 10 match ticket) but the counter argument which is fair enough, is that people may buy this instead of a season ticket, reducing the ST numbers.

People who have decided to buy a ST will still buy one,this sort of offer should go ahead in my opinion,it will attract far more people than it discourages ST sales.

Seriously. If you could get your child a £25 season ticket anywhere in the ground if you buy a regular season ticket i reckon loads more will pay up. Even in the side strips of the east and west where its traditionally last to sell?

Why not pay the going rate for premium seats? I have. Why would Hibs sell the best seats at £25? Theres already a section behind the goals for cheap seats but still folk want everything for nowt....Hibs are not a charity.

[Andy74]

Not sure it would work out to be honest. At the moment what are they £75 or something? You'd need to sell three times as many kids tickets to break even on it.

I don't think the kids tickets are expensive enough that lower prices would make quite that much of a difference.

[Waxy]

Yes well it is expensive to buy two tickets and some people would have to take their kids. Even if it was raised a bit more from £25 to something Hibs would accept. This is the future fanbase also.

[Gmack7]

5 tickets renewed today

[HibeeHutch]

Over here in Vancouver the Whitecaps offer season tickets, half season tickets and 5 match packs - which I think is a great idea.

Slightly off topic but something else they do really well here is create an amazing atmosphere in a 53,000 seater stadium when the average attendance is 21,000. The stadium is split into the upper and lower tiers (or bowls). They zone off the entire upper bowl with a huge branded tarpaulin, which blocks the view of the upper bowl and the empty seats so you feel like you're in a more intimate capacity stadium. They also do the same in the bottom tier by covering the back 8-10 rows of the lower bowl with tarp (giving the lower bowl a capacity of 21,000) - and take it off for bigger games (increasing the capacity to 27,000).

I always felt they should do this at Easter Road for run of the mill games. They could cover the top 8-10 rows (or more) with branded tarp in the Famous Five, East and South Stands to create a better atmosphere for those games. I also think they should put something similarly visual over the transparent ends of the stands - they always make the stands look more empty and less atmospheric.

[I'm_cabbaged]

We will smash 10k no problem.

Hope so, I've still to renew my three 👍

[Ringothedog]

We will smash 10k no problem.

I know of 2 renewals and 2 New being bought in the next week because of the ambition shown in getting Lennon as the new Head coach.

[QMU-1875]

Can folk stop talking about what hibs should be doing and focus on what we are. The club has done everything it can to entice people back, won the Scottish (150k people around leith exclaiming it to be the best day of their lives etc) and hired a manager that is without doubt an upgrade on Stubbs. If you can afford it, if you are located in central Scotland and if you love the club get yourself back because next season is going to top playing golf with the same people every weekend/ out shopping with the wife etc etc. If we can't even get 8% of the 150k people who were at that then I think a few of us will be pretty disappointed, imagine the difference a decent turnout from us every week would make for the side? Hearts and Rangers both romped this league with the big crowds, I have no doubt it would be the same for us if our fan base would just commit to going! We've a four month payment plan that really helps those that don't have the cash to hand as well, they are doing everything!

Agree with that to a point. They extended it as a result of the cup final. Maybe people who want one should just batter in and go for it now.

You make an interesting point about the hearts and rangers crowds. I agree, don't think we'd have had that horrible spell of 3 loses with big crowds. I know the players are professionals but it must be disheartening to come out to a stadium which is just over one third full!!

[Stokesy's on fire]

i hope more people buy a season ticket because next seasons going to be amazing and don't want people to miss out!

[GreenCastle]

Speaking to a few friends who were sitting on the fence as they weren't sure if they could make every game and didn't feel value for money.

I explained it's more of a Hibs membership than being able to make every game. Playing their part to keep the club going and helping it return to where it should be.

They text me this morning saying they will be buying 2 tickets.

I encourage anyone who knows a friend to get them to sign up.

At worst share the seat (and cost) which is better than no season ticket !

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Has the early bird scheme deadline passed now?

If not, how does it work? Up front fees etc.

[21.05.2016]

If a scottish cup, european football and a board and manager with ambitions doesn't bring people back then I don't know what will. Yes, we are playing in the championship but lets get right behind the club and win the league! As i mentioned on another thread, we have the potential to get crowds that other teams in this league can only dream of! Lets get Easter Road packed out and make it a hellish place for opposition teams.

The club deserves our backing, they provided the greatest day ever 3 weeks ago :flag:

The kids prices in the other stands are already reasonable. It does make sense to have a dedicated family area although it could maybe be extended in to the wings of the main or east stands.

My other half has renewed today on the back of this appointment. He hasn't had a ST for years and has hardly ever been a walk up either. Hopefully he's one of many. Well done Hibs.

[Brightside]

I've just been up at the ground and the phones are off the hook with people calling for STs. The are struggling to keep up with demand. I never understand why so many people call though? Why not just do it all online?

Was at club shop.. Few updates..

Those who have ordered cup final merchandise it's all being sorted and sent out soon. Supposedly a delay due to the hampden pitch invasion issues.

They are getting more merchandise into the shop in near future. It's a decent sized shop and I really think Hibs should be selling more and better products.

Also avec couldn't supply printed t-shirts quick enough so they have went with another t-shirt for the white t-shirts.

Scaffolding also going up around side of the famous five stand..fixing roof ?
maybe ?

Ticket office looked busy also so hopefully the Lennon effect is in full swing.

Ive said for years they should have a family section in lower west closest to famous five also - not just behind the goals. Hibs should be listening to fans more as I can understand people prefer watching from the side of the stadium rather than behind.

[Callyballybe]

Good statement from LD and a reasonable target. It would amazing to reach 10000. I'm surprised that 2000 existing ST holders have not renewed.

Very surprised as well - that's quite a chunk of ST not being renewed (not yet anyway.)

I realise circumstances may have chanced for some individuals. But on the whole, if you've managed to persevere through the last couple seasons, surely you'd want to carry it on when the good times (tempting fate I know) are finally on their way back! This is shaping up to be one of the most hotly anticipated seasons for Hibs that I can remember.

Still early doors though. People may have been holding off to see who we brought in manager wise - wouldn't be surprised if there was a flurry of renewals in the coming weeks.

I always felt they should do this at Easter Road for run of the mill games. They could cover the top 8-10 rows (or more) with branded tarp in the Famous Five, East and South Stands to create a better atmosphere for those games. I also think they should put something similarly visual over the transparent ends of the stands - they always make the stands look more empty and less atmospheric.

Sorry, this is not for me - this is what they did at Hampden for the League Cup Final and as a consequence, ALL of the seats with the best view (upper tiers) were empty as they never went on sale.

I appreciate you want to improve the atmosphere, but for me the most important thing is being able to see the game and personally I much prefer to be above the action rather than at pitch level.

Guy in the shop told me the same thing a couple of days ago.

Apparently all they have dealt with since the final has been the pitch invasion and the investigations connected with it. It has taken up a lot of time. He said it was just slowing down now and that they were starting to commit more time to planning/sourcing cup final merchandise.

[JimBHibees]

Surely it should be extended even by a week.

I bought a season ticket on Tuesday, the 1st time in 4 years since I moved to Cheltenham. Just thinking about 'that' moment in the 92nd minute and all the years I have waited since my 1st cup final in 1979 was enough to convince me my team needs my support. The announcement of Neil Lennon also showed the club's commitment to me. My Son will no doubt have my seat most of the time as a 12 hour round trip is just too much every other weekend and may end up in divorce!

I encourage any supporter who is yet to renew or even purchase an ST for the first time to get behind the club. The Scottish Cup win will remain with me for the rest of my years but we need to be in the top league and we need the stadium as full as possible every home game. What are you waiting for?

[tartanhibee]

So if we could sell another 400-500 before the deadline tomorrow night. We then may see another surge after new seats become available? I wasn't convinced that we would get 10000 season tickets but I think we will now.

[Hibby70]

I reckon Leeann is probably quietly confident that we'll hit 10k.

The 2,000 still to renew probably will and I reckon this will fall quite uniformly between now and kickoff.

[bingo70]

My season ticket is on the west, could I get my laddie a £25 season ticket for the famous 5 and then swap my seats for the few games I want to take him too?

Seems better value to do that than get him a Hibs kids membership.

My season ticket is on the west, could I get my laddie a £25 season ticket for the famous 5 and then swap my seats for the few games I want to take him too?

Seems better value to do that than get him a Hibs kids membership.

Yeah no problem at all for changing stands from past experience. They'll just print you one off - always appears to be plenty availability in FF lower too :aok:

[One Day Soon]

Surely its best to buy now while they are going and then look to move seats if necessary as soon as any of the current season tickets not renewed become available?

[Finn2015]

Between 17.30 on Tuesday and 9.30 this morning we've sold 191 season tickets, confirmed by the club on twitter. Up to 8026 now. Good going.

Fantastic news, thanks mate

[JohnM1875]

Just a quick question for anyone who knows. Looking to get a ST on the payment plan. I know the deadline is 5pm tomorrow. How long after you sign up does the first payment come out? Can't really afford to buy one outright as just back from my mates stag abroad and don't get paid until the 28th, I'm almost certain that'll be too late for the first payment coming out. Any ideas of timescale?

Why not pay the going rate (£75?) rather than diddle the club?

[bingo70]

Why not pay the going rate (£75?) rather than diddle the club?

Because he's only 3 and not been to a game yet, he might hate it.

My thinking is it's an additional tenner on top of Hibs kids money rather than money off a season ticket.

Plus I'd want him to sit in the famous five, the kids going rate for that stand is £25 is it not?

Thought about doing this myself. Problem might be getting a spare couple of seats in FF lower on the day you want to switch from the West.

It depends on when you buy as to when the first instalment comes out. I brought mine last Friday 03.06.16 and first payment will be 22.06.16

Once it's all set up, call them and tell them you don't get paid until the 28th and they'll change the payment date, I done that last year and was impressed with their customer service.

Well, for the first time in nigh on 15 years (due to football commitments/living down south/apathy), I'm now signed up for next season. As are four others including my dad who I could barely get to a game last year.

We go again.

Let's do this.

Has anyone done this before and if so what would be a realistic time to get there as worried either 1.be Billy no mates as so early or 2. Be way down the queue🙁

Ive been told to move seats as mine are pish. If it's Saturday it'll not be happening as I'm off to Nice

I don't buy a ST for value for money. I don't make every game especially mid week, but I buy my ST to sit with my pals and support the Hibs

Hen signing up for the payment plan, does the first payment come out as you sign up or a month after. Problem for me, is I can't afford to make the first payment till the 27/28th of the month. It would like to get a ST. Best to phone the club?

I stopped going a few years ago as was fed up with the crap football and poor managers we have had.

Last couple seasons has seen ER become a more enjoyable place to go and seen some really good football.

Our home record was really good last season and it should be again this year.

Let's keep these sales going over 10,000 should be a minimum after the heroics of the cup final.

This question may have been covered earlier in this thread or elsewhere on the forum. I'm trying to purchase a season ticket just now in area 41 in the east stand. The only available rows they seem to have are A & B. If I was to purchase one of those seats right now, will I be able to move my seat elsewhere in that area when more seats become available. Ideally looking for something in the middle.

Yes, once the period for renewal finishes tomorrow all the unsold seats of former season ticket holders will become available.

Deadline today at 5pm.

Make sure people remind friends and family members etc - drop people text reminders / phone mates etc.

You can always buy a seat then move that seat - as some better seats will become available. Saying that I've never been to ER and thought this is a crap view.

There's no point in me buying a season ticket as, living in York now, I'll only get to a few games, but it's going to be a better atmosphere at ER next season than it has been for decades.

Hopefully the moaners in the West Upper in particular will STFU and start encouraging the players instead of waiting for the first mistake so they can berate them.

By the way, in case anyone doubts my commitment, I am a shareholder, I have a standing order to HSL, I contribute to Leith Links, I pay for Hibs TV, and a mate and I will be sponsoring a player. I might even buy a #Persevered pen! (I won't).

Exactly, sack what they have to say. It might be short of what they have just now but it's progress for us and that's all that matters. If we sell 10K, we can look to increase gates with good performances throughout the season, and if we go up look to hit 12K+ next season.

They only sell so quickly because theyve a small ground and nobody wants the rotten seats.

[CallumLaidlaw]

They only sell so quickly because theyve a small ground and nobody wants the rotten seats.

They can say what they like. They blackmailed fans into buying season tickets in 2014. Buy or we die was basically the call. And fair play to them they did. They then romped the league which kept them on a crest of a wave, and then they've just finished 3rd in their first season back, while you can buy an adults ticket for over £100 less than our season ticket prices. In general they have always had slightly better crowds than us so if they want to wear it as a badge of honour, on ye go boys. Your 15,000 didnt help you when 2-0 up at Tynecastle.

[Brooster]

And still we get back to talking about them, some folk just cant help themselves - even on a thread as refreshingly exciting as this one. Can we not ignore them and focus on Hibs?

Nope, apologies, agree 100%.

Its great to see us put a target in place as it gives us something to push for, and the regular updates definitely help. They should set up a "ticker" increasing every time we sell another ticket.

If we could pull off a decent signing in the next week or so then that would certainly help with the push

Pah! Part time fan. :wink:

I also live in England and get back to Edinburgh fairly infrequently these days. I will always try to catch a game when I can but can't really justify an ST.

Your post has given me an idea though. I've just looked on the Fishul Site to check the cost of an ST in the East (my preferred stand). It would cost me £380. So I'm going to commit to spending at least that with the club during the season ahead... combo of HSL, Hibs TV, merch etc, with the occasional ticket on top.

[Gatecrasher]

Just seen on twitter the payment plan is being extended

[The_Exile]

The kids prices in the other stands are already reasonable. It does make sense to have a dedicated family area although it could maybe be extended in to the wings of the main or east stands.

That was my thoughts too in relation to maybe opening up the ends of the west and east to family tickets, there's none left in the FF lower and if you've got say....3 kids it jumps from £75 for all 3 in the FF lower to £405 for all 3 in another part of the ground.

You will get a few after 5pm tonight. Some will have got too old and are now as well moving to the east or west. Some won't have renewed. If it does sell out it would be difficult to open it up to other stands as those with FF lower tickets would probably want to move too
