KP update

[Power]

Fantastic update again KP, thanks.

Unsure if it's something you'd know or be able to communicate, but seeing as the deadline for asking for a refund on our 19/20 season tickets, do we have an idea on what the uptake numbers were and how much we're looking to pay back to supporters?

By the way, not judging anyone who did ask for a refund. Everyone has their own stuff going on.

Just hoping the club don't have to pay too much back in the way of refunds.

The club were great on refund solutions with supporters. It was a small percentage that did need that rightful return of monies last update I had (the club might not communicate the finer details but I can mention Hibs planned well for the situation).

100%. In complete agreement the club were great in relation to refunds! As they have been on so many things recently.

Thanks for the reply and again for the update 👍

[truehibernian]

The updates from KP are excellent - always appreciated :aok:

KP any update on face masks ? It would be good if we could be the first Scottish club to officially release them.

Good question, No specific timelines other than it’s imminent. We won’t be first, I’ve seen a small number of clubs release options (Dundee United is one that sticks in the mind).

Yip seen Dundee Utd were definitely selling them a couple of weeks ago.

[theonlywayisup]

I echo the comments of those above, well done KP for keeping us informed during this difficult time for all.

I hope you and your family are well.

[GreenCastle]

Thanks for update.

Is there any way you can get an update about the stadium. We were promised improvements with sound system / advertising boards / big screen.

Are there plans for this to still happen - whenever we are allowed back in ?

Good question, those projects have been impacted by the coronavirus effect so a short term pause likely. They’re important projects so will be picked up in the future - Separate call out for the sound system - this was close to completion so should be ready to go when we return.

This has been going on for a while, too long (a stronger governing body should’ve considered a time limit on this discussion). Club is more than aware of feelings and feedback from Hibs fans.


KP, the wife just asked if there´s any plans for the pink womens tartan to be used for masks?

Ah, I’m not sure what the other possible versions look like - a standard green might be in there but a pink tartan one (even purple) would be a very different option.

[oneone73]

@Power: A thought for whenever fans are allowed back into ER. We will all know good Hibs fans who have lost their lives in the last 11 weeks. Who knows how many more by the time we are back. Can the club arrange some way of remembering them, maybe in the programme and/or a minute's silence?

[Carheenlea]

I would rather those details were kept private. Refund those who took up the offer to do so, and do so without feeling the need to justify and explain reasons to everyone why they did.

As for the club`s position on the reconstruction farce, I`d hope the original stance that the club took and the reasons given for doing so has been further strengthened.
The problem we have here is Hearts - a decision to reject the reconstruction proposals will immediately be looked upon by media and others in Scottish Football as simply a vote against our rivals first and foremost before the proposal, which puts us in an awkward situation. Thankfully Hibs have acted impeccably during this crisis and have kept their dignity intact by not getting embroiled in petty squabbles via the medium of multiple statements. A rejection of the proposal will surely be for the same reasons as before. Get it binned and lets move towards preparing for the 20/21 season which could be the most challenging season of all. League reconstruction starting immediately does nothing to ease those challenges that will be faced.

I'd expect minute's silences will happen across the league – in the first round of games when the Bundesliga restarted there was a silence for victims of Covid.

Agree it would be good if Hibs can do something else specific to Hibs fans who have died.

Yes totally agree, I just hope it's a silence rather than an applause that takes place. We should leave the applause for the NHS workers that we're going to be welcoming to our games.

Morning all,


Life is still uncertain, stressful and pressurised in parts, so I hope you’re still good at your end. Here if I can help with anything ([email protected]). Fixtures out imminently (end of this week would be ideal), all focus on Hibernian being back.


http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10650


On the 15th June, the club updated supporters that they will be entering into consultation with staff and making difficult choices to reduce costs to protect the future of Hibernian. There has been a lot of good conversations and wise words used around the Hibs supporter landscape since that communication surrounding the point of why. The club is honest with where it is - tackling the difficult decisions and discussions in an honest, compassionate and supportive way with all concerned.


These preventative measures and decisions are to make sure Hibs are present and strong when coming out the other side of this.




Everyone is doing their bit:


The staff (I’m amazed with the energy every employee has to get up and go again in normal times, never mind these unprecedented ones)


The players (Showing solidarity with staff and supporters)


The supporters (with our magnificent understanding and backing)


At these times, the staff need our encouragement as much as our players do. Keep them in mind.

9,000 Season Tickets have been sold. The club understood how important the deadlines (Early Bird, Seat Release and Finance) were in these times and have extended the dates twice. The new deadline of this Friday at 5pm (3rd July) is approaching fast.


Club call out – ‘Whether it’s on an upgraded Hibs TV service or back in your seat when the time’s right, you won’t miss a kick of the ball at Easter Road with a season ticket’.


Season ticket package and virtual season ticket





The club is putting a lot of work into making sure the virtual offering to us is unique and not what we have experienced before. More to come on this. Still a lot to be worked out by all clubs and stakeholders.


______________________


I would like to update you on a number of key areas that I’ve flagged recently with the club on behalf of supporters.




Looking after supporters


Make every effort to look after all types of Hibs fan when football returns. Season Ticket holders (providing value for Season Ticket purchases) and regular supporters (Our walk-up fans are still thought of until we’re back at Easter Road).




Working Together – Club and Hibernian Supporters Limited


Last summer, I highlighted sizeable numbers in our support want Hibernian Supporters (HSL) to be a success - Club and HSL to work together. This message has not changed.


KP - It’s great to see the partnership strengthen recently - Both club and HSL on the same page - the excellent engagement and communication is much appreciated by all.

[Power]

Join Hibernian Supporters


https://hiberniansupporters.co.uk/


The fan-led drive to make our club as strong can be via Hibernian Supporters in these uncertain times is inspirational. 700 new/renewed donators is outstanding. Leeann and Hibernian Supporters have both confirmed donations will be directed to the play budget. As our voice and eyes in the boardroom, I can confirm the additional funds donated will help the team and on the pitch.


I wouldn’t underestimate the power and difference contributing small spare change regularly to Hibernian Supporters. It’s easy and flexible to donate through the continuously improving website and I would encourage HSL to be at the front of mind, along with other great initiatives, when you make goodwill donations.


https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/sport/football/hibs-news-hsl-leeann-dempster-18488348


Leeann Dempster - "Because this is a unified message that things are difficult just now and difficult for your club, what we are seeing is a grassroots movement over the course of the last week. As of Tuesday night, HSL has had over 700 new members in just five or six days which is, in terms of where we have been, is tremendous. We are now doing what we can to help HSL because we are all now firmly on the same page, helping the club through this period."


https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/hibs-fans-group-hsl-encourage-more-pledgers-leeann-dempster-confirms-donations-will-go-towards-player-budget-2899899


Jim Adie -
"In turn, she can say to Jack Ross, 'remember I said to you it's one in, one out, well actually I've got £150,000 extra in my budget, so that guy you've had your eye on, phone his agent'.
"The sense of urgency is now because the market is effectively open. It's not going to be a lot of help if it takes us until November to add on an extra 1000 members, because the window will have closed.


KP - We can all play a part in making this a success. Keep doing what you do.

Reconstruction


The focus of the summer for the club has always been about football returning and future of Hibs – not getting caught up on drama going on elsewhere. If there is the right time in the future to make innovative, exciting and long-lasting change I’m sure we’ll be at the front of it.

Can understand clubs maybe not wanting to scream this option from the rooftops if it is available to maximise ST sales.

But if its NOT available there are going to be a lot of disappointed fans if those that can't afford full ST prices (outright or payment plan) can't watch their team when they want.

[Baldy Foghorn]

No confirmation from Hibs as to what is happening for home games, no testing done. Everyone trying to watch a stream, doesn't fill me with confidence, without at least a trial run.

It’s one of these things where as a season ticket holder I don’t want to rip the arse out of iptv B but it’s looking that way now|. It should be simple but as usual it just seems like a chore when the club should be making or in discussions with other clubs on how to make money. Kenny is a top guy but it’s time for him to take the lead over this and not depend on Kieran, that’s a different issue though.

Fair shout B. Hibs should be in a position to provide more details about what the Hibs TV coverage looks like this week. Making sure the stream can cope with increased demand is a priority for the host company - Stream Digital is the technical provider for 11/12 clubs, they’ll understand how important that is for all clubs.

In fairness R, there isn’t a lot the club can say in terms of firm update - they’re are still discussing the technicalities between the clubs and working flat out with each external stakeholder to bring it together (the multiple components that bring the visual workflow blows my mind a little).

If Hibs or other premiership clubs don’t make games available on game by game basis then fans will share illegal links and it’s certainty that pubs will show games. It can’t be that difficult to arrange, Amazon have done it already for EPL games and I’m sure a lot more people were watching than will be for Scottish premiership matches.

It'll come down to cost ultimately.

I don't see why away games or those who don't have STs can't watch on a pay per game basis. Limit the number available and job done.

We need to work with SKY as they are the rights holders. Amazon is a competitor.

Easy to say but certainly not as easy to do as some are suggesting.

Also if someone pays for something I’d think they would be looking for a bit more quality than a periscope feed.

Do not all clubs have their own tv facilities? Assume the only issue would be the numbers able to watch.

No. Sky has paid for exclusive rights to show games in the UK. They are not going to just let clubs show all the games as well otherwise where is the incentive to sign up for Sky?
They have come to a deal where clubs can show no SKY games to season ticket holders. It seems perfectly fair to me.

Think as a season ticket holder we definitely get a digital copy not sure if there will be printed versions? It's a good question

Sky’s rights are exclusive. You can’t just show games that Sky are not covering on another platform. If Sky don’t show it, nobody does.
As it is, they are allowing clubs to show to season ticket holders while the lockout continues but that is it.

No answer passed to me but I’ll ask the question again, following on from the above. I know all clubs are working to the wire with the same technical provider, Stream Digital, on their offerings. Standard Hibs TV subscription will be available minimum (UK audio and usual overseas feed).

KP,
For English Premiership games season ticket holders have been given “match passes” for SKY or BT televised games for their remaining home matches.
I’m assuming that this was negotiated by the clubs on behalf of supporters with season tickets, any idea if the clubs are looking into a similar arrangement for Scottish games?

Season Ticket holders will receive a free digital matchday programme, via email, for our league matches (nothing produced for the bounce games with the other SPL teams recently given the format of the game). I don’t think there will be a an official print run for the free digital ones, might just need to be an old skool paper and printer 🖨 job.

I don’t think so - No that I’ve heard, or seen on any of the detail I get Stevie. Season Ticket holders will be covered for all games, even those chosen and shown on Sky, through Hibs TV. Each game on Hibs TV will be produced to high quality event coverage standard - with tailored matchday programme before kick off and anslysis after the game too.

This is what I thought might happen, ST's get access to home games not on Sky so would it not be possible to log into Hibs TV and pay say £5 per home game, extra income for the club and a chance for people like me who didn't get a ST this season due to money being tight ( Covid ) and anyone else on the data base with a reference number.

I think there will be a PPV option agreed over the next couple of weeks.

Don’t think it’ll be as cheap as that with some season ticket holders having paid upwards of 400 quid though.

Sky’s deal is regarding sky games. Those games can only be shown to a maximum of the clubs season ticket holders.

Non sky games will be allowed to be shown to as many as possibly allow. It makes no sense for sky to deny that as the games aren’t being shown on their channel so they’re not losing viewers.

Spot on. And no moral high ground needed either 👍

Home teams charge a fiver with a £1 going to the Visiting team through a subscription method would be absolutely ideal to everyone. I just can’t see Sky allowing it though, they would rather we watch the results show and then charging for advertising.

[Numptie]

If you are watching the intellectual property of a third party without their consent you are breaking the law. No individual will ever be prosecuted, unless they are themselves streaming the content onwards. All film and football IPTV sites are illegal if they are not paying the rights holder for the content. Remember when music streaming first came in, everyone downloaded illegal music but they prosecuted the providers. You can now get most music on Youtube etc but copying the streams is still illegal - even though you can get a Youtube download app to do it!!

What's the chances (social distancing etc) for this one game for the first team to take a coach to ER, drive up St Clair street (usually pretty quiet with cars) at a pre-arranged time and allow the fans to welcome them to ER?

Appreciate the thought here, sure the players would be encouraged and strengthened with such a display of support.

Short term it is difficult - Match day protocol for both teams and match officials is tight and adheres to Scottish Government guidance. All personnel, including away team, encouraged to travel as per Scottish Government guidelines i.e. own transport where possible, avoid car sharing (Nae coaches and staggered times).

As we move forward with guidance changes, effecting stadium access and footprint guidance, there will be opportunities to show support but hopefully by that time we’re back inside the stadium too, doing what we do best.

Clubs haven’t done so before as there was no need to. Fans were allowed in stadia and they wanted to maximise fans turning up. Allowing Bob from Leith to watch it on the tele makes no sense. Also, games kicking off at 3pm couldn’t be shown live. Hence why we could sell to overseas fans.

Sky have already allowed us to sell games to season ticket holders, so no idea why they’d object to more fans when its not live on their channel therefore not impacting their subscriptions.

I can see why Sky would say no. If I was Sky I would not be encouraging anyone to be watching another tv platform at any time while I’m running 20 channels of content. Not when I have exclusive rights to what they are showing. Sky own these rights and I very much doubt they will just give them away after paying so much for them. If the clubs are allowed to sell games then Sky will be getting a fairly big cut.

Put of interest How much do they pay for a season ticket? Won't be cheap?

£1,350

[Power]

Isn’t that just to do with practicality as much as anything?

Fans are not allowed in the stadium but people are allowed into bars and restaurants.

If you can do something for the folk who have taken those packages, surely you should be doing it?

Season ticket holders don’t get access to the lounges so why would we expect it now?

Agree with Matty here.

No information has been passed to me but I wouldn’t expect it either. Corporate Season Tickets getting access to Corporate Areas is a good start and should open opportunities for more.

I’m positive they’ll be doing above their best to look after all types of supporters. Corporate season tickets right down to those without season tickets that want to see their team too.

Looking after supporters was something flagged by myself last month (few pages back now) - Make every effort to look after all types of Hibs fan when football returns. Season Ticket holders (providing value for Season Ticket purchases) and regular supporters (Our walk-up fans are still thought of until we’re back at Easter Road).

So away season ticket holders don't get similar offer to see away games in a lounge. Still no confirmation from club re away games. We are all hibs though?

Away ST Holders give money to other clubs. If you are a Corp Member and giving £1350 to the club then they absolutely should get more for their money.

In fairness, we haven’t paid anything out for an away season ticket.

If they are able to broadcast an away game in to a lounge at ER then that suggests to me that we (and the wider support) will be able to watch them also, if we pay for the privilege.

There has been no confirmation from anybody in Scottish football about viewing away games. If someone on the corporate side has released that information to people they’ve got a bit ahead of themselves I’d say.

[CapitalGreen]

This. Capital Club members pay £900 per season to access the Capital Club lounges. If the current phase 3 guidelines allow these members access then what is the problem?

I’m still hopeful the fact 11/12 clubs have signed up to the same streaming company there is the potential for full agreement on purchasing/watching Away games. I don’t believe any club has communicated the technicalities about potential away team viewing - stand to be corrected on that one.

If that is successful, how the clubs will communicate that will need collective joined up thinking. Hopefully simple to follow.

[matty_f]

I honestly can’t get my head around the complaint on this one.

On the face of it, all Hibs have done is work with the very, very limited hand they’ve been played and tried to provide a service to a section of the support that they can provide it to.

I’m joking obviously, but I’m amazed some folk aren’t camped outside hospitals complaining that some people caught COVID and they didn’t.

If I remember rightly the initial communication on virtual season tickets came from the league. If there is an agreement reached to allow games to be sold on an individual basis I’d think they’ll be the ones to release that again perhaps?

I don’t think any club has said anything because, as it stands, I don’t think it’s allowed. Again, someone might correct me on that!

[HibeesLA]

I think it’s illegal TV, that takes money out of football and other sports

Apologies for the nerdy answer:

IPTV is Internet Protocol TeleVision. Basically TV streamed over the internet, which doesn't make it illegal. The provider of the IPTV source is what makes it illegal. For example, Netflix is delivered over IPTV.

Just to clear up the terms, PPV (Pay Per View) just refers to the transaction, not the delivery method. PPV can be delivered over Broadcast signal, Set Top Box/Freeview, or IPTV.

If I am honest I am pretty binary about this one and think that fans should be back when all the presale tickets can be accommodated.

Different to buying the season ticket not knowing if we could use it and the club not being allowed to open the stadium - but imagine if it was the other way around and they could open the stadium but not let people in to hospitality areas... we’d not want to wait for hospitality to be available to watch the games.

So if the Scottish Govt permitted crowds of up to 10,000, Hibs should not allow fans into games because we have sold 10,500 season tickets and therefore not everyone could be accommodated?

I am completely happy with the fact that there are benefits around the corporate packages when grounds are open: access to club officials/ players/ away tickets so have no ace to grind regarding their perks but if what we are saying is that they get early access to the games in the stadium because of their package that is a bit shan.

I appreciate that and if Hibs hired a cinema screen at Ocean Terminal and gave them access to the game on a big screen with hospitality (by way of example as I accept the costs) I would have no issue. If they want to hire a plane and watch it through binoculars, crack on.

A less flippant response to the 10k question. If the club are allowed to open on a restricted basis, and have a draw where people have an equal chance to get a seat in the stadium I could see merit in that. If the proposal is that priority went to people who had paid more for their ticket then that goes against the We Are Hibs sentiment.

I doubt all 10500 would be able to go, so instead of a draw it would be first come first served.

But in practice if we're allowed 10k at Easter Road then the practicalities of social distancing mean that we'll be allowed a full stadium instead.

[Carheenlea]

The Away Season Ticket holders are the group of Hibs supporters who will find watching streams/televised footage the hardest simply by their habit of attending every game. Ideally you would want this group to have the first opportunity to watch "beambacks" if they are being broadcast at Easter Road, but I get the argument of the Executive ST holders losing out on their matchday hospitality etc that comes with their package so can understand the reasoning behind offering such a facility to view away games in place of their normal home game routine.

Hopefully some kind of deal can be struck to allow fans to purchase away streams which would keep everyone happy.

I've been thinking that as I read through thus thread and wondering if there was something that I was missing. Unless you charged normal PATG prices (which few would pay to watch an online game) then the club can't justify the season ticket price. I don't have a ST, but if I did and individual games were £5 or £10 then I'd be pretty angry I'd paid approx £20 for the same game. Similarly for away games, home fans would just use the same cheaper stream.

I think they’re still trying to make it happen or they know it is happening and are keeping it quiet.

If there wasn’t any chance of it happening they’d have completely dismissed it to try and drive some extra ST sales. KP has already alluded to the fact that it’ll likely go down to the wire if it is to happen. They’re not daft and they know people will be able to watch anyway so why not try to get some additional revenue from it (even if Sky need to get a cut).

If it happens it will be because SKY can make money from it. They own the rights.

Afternoon all,

Good news! Hibs are back at the end of this week to fill a massive void in our lives. However, it’s not as we would all want but it’s welcome fix all the same. There is positive noises around Scottish football that we might see crowds at stadiums before year end – we all know that is a flexible situation but we can be confident given the part we, and the rest of the nation, has played getting us to here. Keep doing what you do. Here through the usual channels and [email protected].

On the 5th July, our long awaited fixtures for the new campaign was released. We open with Kilmarnock this Saturday before making the short trip to Livingston on Saturday 8 August. Our next four matches thereafter have been selected for live coverage on Sky Sports – Dundee Utd (a), Motherwell (h), St Johnstone (a), Aberdeėn (h). Throw in Rangęrs at home on the 19th of September as a big likely to be changed for Sky Sports we’ll be on show widely early in the campaign.

The club released details of Hibs Pass on Tuesday 28th. The revamped Hibs TV package will be a new experience for most of us and one that will support us short-term till we’re back at Easter Road. The club will continue to make it simple as possible for instructions. The above is a useful link to FAQs.

Testing of the Hibs specific platform for sign-in testing will be completed tonight 5-8pm (Wednesday) and there is another opportunity tomorrow again. The technical provider Stream Digital has taken the learnings from Celtíc, Aberdeėn and Motherwell matches played over the last week and will now apply that to all 11 teams using the service from this weekend onwards, including us. Patience may be required to get stability and smooth performance but I’m hopeful of success given the work the team at the club has done.

A reminder that Season Ticket holders will see all games (including those on Sky Sports) on www.hibspass.com (http://www.hibspass.com/), The SPFL and Sky Sports have consented clubs to sell streams for games not shown on Sky. These streams will be sold through the HOME clubs’ website through a registration and sale process.

Please remember to sign-on early on Saturday, the programme is available from 2:30pm.

I’ve passed a lot of supporter feedback from here and elsewhere regarding our need to look after all different types of supporters over the summer – Season Ticket holders, regular walk-ups, hospitality, overseas plus others – I’m disappointed that some supporters will miss out on Saturday but I appreciate and understand where the club has got to in making sure everything is right technically on Saturday before taking time to ensure the best structure and service specific to PPV is rolled out at the next available fixture.
______________________

I would like to update you on a number of key areas that I’ve flagged recently with the club on behalf of supporters.

Virtual streaming confidence

Straightforward ask of watching Hibs virtually lands successfully on the first few return to play games to gain widespread confidence in our systems. Access is made simple and the coverage is high quality for supporters.

KP – I have seen all the different club departments working on this behind the scenes - supporting our technical partners - and I know they realise how important this is and want to go that extra step further for us, they’ve put a lot into it.

Hibs Strip update


Dispatching of the pre-ordered 2020-21 home kits commenced today (Wednesday 29th July) and once cleared the small and hardworking clubstore staff will move onto fulfilling the away kit pre-orders.

Any collections can be made once you receive an email confirming your order is ready to collect
– please take that with you or proof of address when collecting.

Once the club has processed the majority of the above orders they will move to open up more options for strip pre-order on the second large batch – delivery expected in September. Keep an eye on the club channels for this opening again. (for context a second batch order wouldn’t usually be made until late in the year – phenomenal sales).

http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10677 (http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10677)

Our Yellow kit was released on the 17th of July. A good throwback to 2004 and 1998 (and more) yellow. The new third kit will be made to order and won’t be available in the clubstore – order window will close on Friday 6th August and delivered in early October.

Legendary Goalkeeper John Burridge is the next guest as part of 'If You Know Your History' with Hibernian Community Foundation on Tuesday 4th of August 17.30-19.00. The call will look back at Budgie's time with Hibernian which included a cup win in 1991 where he became a fan's favourite.

What a character – hopefully we’ll find out first-hand if he did go in the huff at Airdrie away about wearing a goalkeeper top that wasnae his own or if he really did catch fruit and veg in his sleep.

Our Scottish Cup semi-final fixture has been planned in - weekend of Saturday, 31 October and Sunday, 1 November with dates and kick-offs subject to live broadcast. There is genuine belief these fixtures can be played in front of crowds and with our new players eligible and not cup-tied there is no better way to close off a quite frankly forgettable year by going on and having a shot at glory.

I was mentioning to a friend of my Dad’s (for the purpose of this we’ll call him Terry) about the new latest Hibernian 3D phone cases. Hibernian FC (https://phones.hibernianfc.co.uk/)

“I’ve got one of them” and proceeds to send me a photo of this.

Wait until he catches up and finds out we won the Scottish Cup in 2016.

KP My children's and their friends strips aren't being sent out until September. How did the club decide which 7000 would get theirs and more importantly which of us wouldn't. I presume you got yours ok?

Can understand your frustration but the last point is uncalled for.

[Speedway]

Thank you again for all of this KP.

I would hope KP is top of the list for strip distribution considering all the work he does for us, the supporters.

That’s more than disappointing. If you’re unhappy with the service and explanation that the clubstore ([email protected]) then do forward the communication onto myself.

No knowledge of the order process but would expect it to be first come, first served on each item received from Italy.

No preferential treatment for me. I order and pay the exact way as all other supporters ✅

Last part of your comment is poor, struggling to feel any sympathy for you after you come out with p!sh like that.

[Scouse Hibee]

KP My children's and their friends strips aren't being sent out until September. How did the club decide which 7000 would get theirs and more importantly which of us wouldn't. I presume you got yours ok?

Probably first come first served, as you have no idea when KP ordered his, your presumption sounds more like an uncalled for dig.

Understand your frustration but no need for the unnecessary dig at the end. KP has been an absolute excellent fans rep since his appointment.

No need for that last sentence. Poor.
