Superb 👏

[KdyHby]

Bought mine since, at least 3002 sold

[Diclonius]

Where were we after two weeks of sales last season? Obviously it'll be much higher - just curious to see how the pandemic has impacted sales.

Don’t know about that but when Ron did his interview last week he mentioned that we were ahead of last year, at that point.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Brilliant response by our supporters :not worth

[Keith_M]

Just read that we've now broke the Three Thousand barrier for Season Tickets.

[Keith_M]

Lots of people seem to be answering the call to arms.


For all those that are unable or don't want to risk buying a Season Ticket (for perfectly understandable reasons), I wish you all the best and hope the work/financial situation improves over time.

It's really not an easy time for many just now.

[murray26]

Brilliant response.. Hopefully my family will be purchasing 3 before the early bird deadline..

[bingo70]

I’m still to get mine for me and my boy.

I think my job should be pretty secure but guess nobody really knows for certain what is going to happen over the next few weeks and months, decided to hold off until pay day next month just in case.

I’m guessing my situation probably won’t be that unique and a lot of people will renew at the end of the month.

[HendoDelivered]

Me and at least 3 others will be getting one at some point

[GloryGlory]

Brilliant response.. Hopefully my family will be purchasing 3 before the early bird deadline..

I'll be getting mine before the deadline, too.

[Sir David Gray]

Unbelievable numbers however just wondered what people think will happen if fans are only allowed into games with about 15 games of next season to spare, which is highly possible?

I’ll just be starting to think about renewing for the following season

[Jock O]

Is it only open to existing season ticket holders at moment, its not clear from the announcement.

Thanks.

[Sir David Gray]

Fair enough.

[Robbo6-2]

Another two purchased

[NAE NOOKIE]

Thanks.

Not sure mate. But because I couldn't renew for the FF I had to randomly pick a seat from elsewhere in the stadium and I did that no problem, the fact I have an existing account on the Hibs ST list may have allowed me to do that though.

[Billy Whizz]

Thanks.

No, but you can’t chose an existing season ticket holders seat. Just buy one in the stand you want to sit in, then move when they announce the date

[Jock O]

I assumed that was what it was, but it wasn't clear on website. My old area looks well gone but will pick one around there and see what its like once the ST deadline is over.

Thanks,

[Bobby's Cinema]

Got to think there’s a high chance the early bird deadline will be extended beyond 8th May. What do we think?

[Coco Bryce]

Social distancing measures set to continue for the next 18 months according to BBC Radio Scotland.

Surely that means there will be not sports fixtures with fans present?

[Waxy]

3000 ticket sold on the basis of a 12 team league.
One good reason it HAS to be a 12 team league.

[GreenCastle]

3500 according to the email.

Let’s keep this going !

[Bobby's Cinema]

In fairness I think anyone prepared to renew at this stage is taking a leap into the unknown in doing so.

I think they will extend the early bird period and that would remove putting pressure on those to do so now.

[H18 SFR]

I would think that there will be spectators distanced out appropriately?

No idea what that would make the capacity at Easter Road, 6 or 7K?

Don’t see how that would work if 2m is to be maintained. If you get into that then you have to consider getting in and out of the stadium, one way systems and routes as they have in some supermarkets now? How does that effect H&S/ fire safety plans etc

[hibee316]

Hopefully there’s loads of testing by then and it can be asserted to season card info that you’ve had the virus and are allowed into the stadium.

Saying that, you would then get people trying to purposely get the virus to get immunity so it’s probably not going to work.

[GreenCastle]

The pie Q will be massive.

No Hibee bounce..

Can you imagine pubs before games.

Entry into the stadium? Toilets and Concourse before the game and half time would make this impossible?

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

It's becoming increasingly likely that any season tickets bought for next season is really going to be a donation to the club and also reserving your seat for 21/22.

There will be no spectator attended football in the U.K. this year.

[Keith_M]

Yep, and what happens if you need to go past some people that are already sitting down to get to your seat?

They would also have to ban people from leaving early, as they usually just end up in a big crush on the stairs waiting to get out.



The only practical way to do this would be to make everybody wear full-body condoms, so there's no danger of infection.

[The 90+2]

There shouldn’t be any football this year then. Behind closed doors ending the English season would lead to house parties and loads of other mass gatherings both here and abroad.

It hasnt been shown that immunity doesnt wear off after a period of time, and the previous poster was right, there probably wont be spectator football until atleast Dec/Jan, anyone buying a ST now will most likely get free access to live tv for closed door games.

[Joe6-2]

How do you play football and practice social distancing?

Live tv and closed doors games won’t work either. You will get groups packing together to celebrate or watch games away from stadiums. Even if it’s 100s to one or two houses. Across countries.

St access to closed door games = everyone round there watching or even outside.

[Bishop Hibee]

Looking likely. It’ll be round to mates to watch it or at home. Isn’t looking good for the boozers opening anytime soon either sadly.

Got to be a market in Hibs themed face masks though.

[Weegreenman]

I don’t think there will be any football played at all until there is a vaccine.

Players cannot be put in danger of catching the virus from a team mate or an opposing player.

It’ll be tough but if it saves lives, I’m all for it.

Surely only the same idiots that break the rules now would do this? Why would normal sensible people who have been sticking to the guidelines so far suddenly become irresponsible idiots because of a game of football on the TV.

Yip, this virus will be hanging around til a vaccine is found, social distancing will have to remain in place til next year according to medical experts. They may ease the lockdown rules May/June/July to get folk back to work and get the economy going again but all that will do is ramp up the spread of it again and no doubt put us back into lockdown.

Respect those that are blindly renewing season tickets but you really have no idea what your handing over your cash for. I understand the club is struggling and needs funds. We don’t even know who will be in the league, will it be a reduced season?

[danhibees1875]

:agree:

If they find a way to play football behind closed doors safely and can broadcast then that is better than no football.

The idea that people who are perfectly content in living their lives within social distancing guidelines are going to suddenly be joining large gatherings to watch the game seems strange to me. There might be an issue with Liverpool's title winning game and others of that ilk - but they're going to have to call them one way or another eventually. :dunno:

Duration. There's no way people are not going to visit family or friends for a year or longer. It's just not going to happen.

[inglisavhibs]

There will be no spectator attended football in the U.K. this year.

If you are correct there will be few clubs left in Scotland to watch.

[Scouse Hibee]

Duration. There's no way people are not going to visit family or friends for a year or longer. It's just not going to happen.

So people will disregard the fact that visiting those family and friends could potentially kill them! I don’t think so somehow, make no mistake this is a situation that the majority of people are deadly serious about containing.

[Scouse Hibee]

If you are correct there will be few clubs left in Scotland to watch.

Maybe so, insignificant in the grand scale of things though.

[.Sean.]

There will be no spectator attended football in the U.K. this year.
This, and you can also apply that to the likes of conventions and concerts.

I genuinely can’t see how we’ll even be allowed back into a boozer or a resturant any time this year nevermind the football :confused:

Absolutely everything that involve gatherings of more than even 10 people is closed for business or postponed until there’s a vaccine IMO

[Since90+2]

So people will disregard the fact that visiting those family and friends could potentially kill them! I don’t think so somehow, make no mistake this is a situation that the majority of people are deadly serious about containing.

Yes people will disregard it. Absolutely no chance that people will go a year or longer without ever visiting family or friends. A small number of people are already doing so and as time drifts on and the weather becomes better people will naturally start to grow tired of lockdown.

Out of interest how long do you think folk would tolerate it for? If for instance the government say a vaccine is not viable until summer 2022 do you seriously think people will stay in their homes until then. Would never happen and the government know this - I'd imagine by the end of May/early June small family gatherings will be permitted.

[Since452]

There will be no spectator attended football in the U.K. this year.

I fear the same. What a harrowing thought. I'm really starting to miss the social aspect of football now. Starting to miss the pub, sticking on a destined to fail coupon, even starting to miss the nagging from the better half on a Sunday. This is really crap.

People should tolerate it for as long as it takes. It’s not that difficult to comprehend that the only thing to do is stay relatively isolated is it? I really don’t get the idiots who are complaining about missing their friends or relatives for a period of time when the alternative could be lose them forever, it’s pathetic.

Yes but what if this becomes the norm? Just have to adapt and get over it, things change and this could be one of the biggest changes our lives have ever seen, we can all adapt and overcome it.

[Scouse Hibee]

Anyway back in the track of ST’s, I am now seriously wondering what renewing my ST will actually be worth to me, apart from keeping hold of my seat I don’t see any credible worth in investing in a season that might never happen.

A lockdown of more than a few months can't , and wont , be viable for many reasons. As an example it's estimated around 60,000 cancer patients will die if the lockdown lasts for more than 6 months. That's one disease alone.

A lockdown of more than a few months would be more damaging than the virus itself , which is why it won't happen.

Was thinking the same earlier. I renewed pretty much straight away and thought, at that point, that we’d maybe be seeing football in the latter part of the year. Now, I can’t see it happening this year whatsoever.

I would like to see some sort of scheme that allows me to commit for say £50 to retain my seat and make full payment when I know that I will be able to attend actual matches.

[Ringothedog]

How do you play football and practice social distancing?

The way our defence sometimes plays that would not be a problem

[B.H.F.C]

To be honest they should just do away with the seat release deadline at the start of June, if there isn’t any clarification, IMO.

[scooby]

Yes but what if this becomes the norm? Just have to adapt and get over it, things change and this could be one of the biggest changes our lives have ever seen, we can all adapt and overcome it.

Are you for real, are you really going to sit back and accept that your freedom is essentially over? If the majority of people accept this you can kiss goodbye to ever getting your life back. We are all being royally shafted and sleepwalking into a very dark and dangerous future. Everyone needs to wake up and research what's actually going on here.

[scooby]

I know of one person in her late 70s (she lives in the Worcester area) that has been diagnosed with cancer and has been told that she will not be getting treatment due to the NHS in her area being overrun with Coronavirus.

Basically, the NHS are having to take the decision in some places to prioritize who should live and who should die.

That's really unfortunate to hear but unfortunately it appears to be happening across the country. It also shows why it's too simplistic to say we need to keep lockdown indefinitely to save lives - lives will be lost from the consequences of lockdown , and potentially in greater numbers than the virus itself, if the current situation continues for too long.

[Hibs1969]

I think once this is all over we’ll be facing a new future anyway, so I think SH is right up to a point, we’ll all have to face up to a new ‘normal’. People have readily accepted the lockdown so far, but for how much longer? When the worst is behind us, people will be much more aware of social distancing, personal hygiene and everything this virus has brought to the fore. I really don’t think things will be the same once the madness has passed, whenever that might be. It’s murder without football, it really is but sadly I don’t see us reconvening at Easter Road for many months to come.

[Keith_M]

Maybe the Covid-19 discussions should be taken elsewhere.

[Lago]

As one of the Government's advisors said today, "some form of social distancing is inevitable until a reliable vaccine is found" that tells large spectator gatherings will be a no no for some time to come. Interesting to see Ross County have decided not to put season tickets on sale because of the current uncertainty. Difficult times ahead.

[James Stephen]

I know of one person in her late 70s (she lives in the Worcester area) that has been diagnosed with cancer and has been told that she will not be getting treatment due to the NHS in her area being overrun with Coronavirus.

Basically, the NHS are having to take the decision in some places to prioritize who should live and who should die.

Without knowing her individual case, its different someone not beginning their treatment because a clinician.has deemed the risk of doing so to be greater than waiting (due to nature of treatment, underlying comorbidities etc)

Thats not always the same thing as the NHS being overrun or not being able to commence treatment.

There are already more and more people on the roads and on the pavements now. It needs total lockdown now, or it is only going to get worse.

But Christ sake on our street last Friday all the neighbours gathered and started drinking together and getting closer as the night moved on
One a paramedic 2 sergeant and a chief inspector
Lost total respect

I can see less demand for these trendy apartments as folk will realise they are trapped in them 23 hours a day in times like this

I really don’t get the idiots who are complaining about missing their friends or relatives for a period of time when the alternative could be lose them forever, it’s pathetic.

To be honest I think that even a lot of people who are currently complying with the restrictions won't stick with it for as long as a year. Even without a vaccine I think we'll get to a point where hopefully the testing ramps up enough to establish that a fair amount of people have already had it and more importantly, establish that immunity exists for those who have had it. That way some kind of normality is able to be restored.

I agree that large gatherings are likely to be banned for the foreseeable future though.


Anyway back in the track of ST’s, I am now seriously wondering what renewing my ST will actually be worth to me, apart from keeping hold of my seat I don’t see any credible worth in investing in a season that might never happen.

I'm exactly the same. I would have personally preferred some kind of scheme where you just give a donation to the club. I'm not sure how that would have compared to the income they've got from selling 3500 season tickets but if a lot of that money is due to be refunded to supporters in about a year's time anyway, should the majority of next season be played behind closed doors, then it's not going to do Hibs much good.

I'm really struggling to see the point in buying a season ticket for next season, except to prevent it from being taken by someone else for future seasons. That's the one thing that's making me even consider buying one before June's deadline, unless of course there was to be some kind of clarity before then in terms of allowing fans back to games, which I'm certain there won't be.

[hibeenicol]

3 season tickets purchased today, gives me that little bit of hope that we'll get back to normality soon.

[Ronniekirk]

There is no Vaccine that’s why we are in the current temporary position we are in
We all have to make sacrifices at present Try being on the Front Line without Proper or enough PPE. and being exhausted trying to deal with victims of this virus which has spread because we didn’t go to social Distancing sooner
We aren’t yet over the peak People need to stay with the Guidance fir now
Things will gradually change but fir me Football is just insignificant just now

[The Spaceman]

Well done everyone :aok: if you can renew, do it.

At worst case, you won't see Hibs for a wee while, but we will emerge from this as one of the strongest clubs in the nation and give ourselves a real chance to have a go when it all restarts.

[Hillsidehibby]

3 renews yesterday and another happening today.

[overdrive]

Just renewed. I think I must be crazy!

Renewed two season tickets today. As I am fortunate enough to be able to afford it I am happy to do so. I don't expect to see football at ER for a long time so I look at this as a donation to help the club. Season ticket sales now up to 4660. GGTTH

[ekhibee]

I won’t be renewing. I have no idea whether I’ll have a job when all this is over. If I get lucky, I’d imagine it’ll be on a lesser contract. There are so many if’s and but’s and I just don’t see football as being that important in the grand scheme of things.

I think there will be an awfull lot of people in exactly the same position as you mate, totally understand. I'm on a staggered work system at the moment, just working 1 day a week instead of the usual 5. I'm paying up the ST this year for the first time, but in all honesty if the virus situation doesn't move on pretty soon i'll be struggling. And you're quite right, football is not top of a lot of people's priorities just now, rightly so. My health, my friends and family,and particularly that of my wife, come first.

Me too also. Happily I may add.

[TT07]

In fairness I think anyone prepared to renew at this stage is taking a leap into the unknown in doing so.

I think they will extend the early bird period and that would remove putting pressure on those to do so now.

I hadn't looked at my renewal until this week and wanted to commit to support the club. We have 2 adults & a senior, west upper in our party.
Does anyone have an explanation from the club why the senior ticket has increased from £185 last season to £255 next season. That is huge hike in price consideribg the Adult only increaed by £25. My dad has been a ST holder for the 25 years. He should get a medal not a price hike.

Appreciate that the increase is higher when compared to an adult price but i've always felt that the senior price was too low, previously worked out less than £10 a game. The way I see it he's getting a £165 discount of the standard price, still great value.....i know plenty seniors who've got far more disposable income than people at working age.

Perhaps, but maybe a gradual price increase would have been a better approach.

[PaulSmith]

I know everyone's personal circumstances are different but there will be thousands of people who find themselves with additional cash from their wages as there's been no-where to spend it and holidays/new cars aren't happening.

Where better to spend that 'extra income' than on a Hibs ST!

Fair point PS but my 4 tickets are well over £1k which is a lot of money to lay out if I'm not getting much back for it. I would be happy to pay £100 per seat retention until things become clearer as I would like to keep our seats.

[Eyrie]

If Hibs announced on Monday that I could retain my seat for next season with a one off payment of £50 then that would make more sense for me than buying a full price season ticket when I'm unlikely to be allowed to attend all of the games.

But it doesn't make sense for Hibs because they'd only receive £50 and not £385. The club is better off with me paying £385 now and getting a discount for season 21/22 if more than three or four games are behind closed doors.

To be fair to people that had STs for 19/20, maybe they could delay the date at which any un-renewed seats go to open sale.

I'm sure the club wouldn't mind and I can't imagine anybody that bought a Season Ticket for 20/21 but wants to move elsewhere would mind waiting a bit longer.

It's not like anybody's going to be actually attending the games anytime soon

[hibee-boys]

I'm 50/50 at the moment, not looking for any refund on this seasons games but the uncertainty around next season is a concern, really don't want to be paying for even more missed games.

If you exclude the Family Section in FF Lower, we have 14,000 seats in the home end of ER and last season we sold roughly 11,500 Season Tickets in those areas.


I think the number of ST sales will probably go down, so everybody that wants one, and is holding off for now, has nothing much to worry about.


Although it would be nice if we actually did end up selling so many STs in the three 'home' stands that we had to split the South Stand between home and away Fans

Good point, I'm personally saving about £200 a month in train fares and probably another £100 in lunches (not to mention drink).

Obviously others are in different circumstances but I've effectively treated my season ticket payment as a gift to my club to keep the lights on.

From Hibs’ perspective, the calling of the SPFL’s Extraordinary Meeting on 12 May means the early bird deadline will fall prior to there being any certainty as to the shape and form of next season.

This is where Hibs have possibly scored an OG with the early bird pricing.

You only save £20 on a full price ticket so it's not a huge (price) incentive for people so you may find people decide to wait and then don't bother at all.

It's not really clear why the early bird saving is higher for concessions than it is for full price :confused:

You're right, £20 not much of a saving for people buying full price tickets, I suspect the deadline for the payment plan would be the bigger driver for people to sign up by that date......and then when the seats are released date in June. I'll be holding back until then at least, hopefully clearer how next season will look by then.

Just to be clear, the payment plan deadline falls on the same date (Friday 8th May) as the Early Bird deadline.

The EGM on the 12th is to pander to The Thes faux outrage at legitimate SPFL lobbying in support of their vote to call a halt to the leagues. Budges proposal is a different matter

[Lago]

I see Dunfermline have decided not to put St up for sale until they know what the league situation will be. I wonder how Hibs will handle it if social distancing is still in place even after any closed doors games are lifted. How can you allocate specific seats, what happens if attendance is limited to less than total STs sold, going to take a lot of planning.

[Since452]

Over 5000 sold now

If social distancing is in place there will be no spectators as it will be impossible to monitor access to the ground and even worse the leaving of the ground.

All fans will be banned until it's safe for all fans to attend.

There's no way some fans will be allowed and some won't, on a game by game basis.

It would be a logistical nightmare.

As they say it’s better to have the points on the board, or in this case ‘tickets sold’.

Regardless of what I may think as a fan being asked to part with cash surrounded by a lack of clarity, Hibs have managed the whole process very well IMO to maximise things. From deferral of wages to the marketing of Thank you NHS, to the extent it actually feels we have a wave behind us.

Those that haven’t yet put anything on sale are going to find themselves left dangerously behind IMO, particularly given the likelihood that there will be no bums on seats for some time. The closer we get to that confirmation the slower the uptake you would think.

So while some myself included may have questioned the morality of putting them on sale when we did, looks a great move now. GGTTH

I don't think it's morally questionable if it was driven by the fans desire to simply keep the club alive.

That really is my main motivation and I suspect it's the same for plenty of others (lots of people on here have posted as much).

Morality is the wrong word should have said timing.

And I agree I think those that are renewing are doing so for the love of the club to keep it going with no real expectation on what games they may get from it.

So tell me again why you got barred from ER. Well I was social distancing, it was 1-1 v Hear7s and Doidge scored late late on and I ran to celebrate with my mates. Joking apart how can you exit a stadium maintaining social distancing. As you say crowds will either be allowed or they won’t.

It's a phenomenal display of loyalty, especially bearing in mind we're unlikely to be able to attend games for a long time to come.

I was a bit nervous about spending the cash for renewing with the financial uncertainty for me, however I was also concerned at losing my current seat that I have had for many years and hoping there would be an extension for seat retention.

I want to keep my seat because it is a great seat and a great view. Front row of FF upper.

The main reason I get a season ticket is for a catch up with my Dad. Currently the closest ticket is about 10 rows away.

I could save a fair bit by buying walkup (I miss a few games at the best of time) so if the seats aren't together there is no benefit to having a season ticket.

A bit of patience and a lot of screenshots is one way to get it. There might be an easier way. :dunno:

Ah cheers, I only got his this morning so I’m guessing we’ll need to wait until we get to the 6,000 mark then before Hibs do that again.

I might be wrong but I don't think they've done it since we reached 2000.

[Mon Dieu4]

I might be wrong but I don't think they've done it since we reached 2000.

They did it yesterday for 5 and have done the inbetween numbers too:aok:

I sat for half an hour trying to stop it on mine and my pals

No, they've done every block of 1000

Checked back, long thread ago, and Caversham Green points out what was actually said was that Season Tickey money goes towards the Playing Budget and so it was a misinterpretation that all money was for Transfer Fees. I stand corrected!.....but I still think they should extend the Early Bird :agree:

Don’t think it’s misinterpretation,means they can use the money in different wayes

Fair enough I stand corrected. I had seen the updates of every 1000 sold but hadn't seen the name thing for a while.

Then yes the next update will be 6000.

:agree: Yeah, the numbers have no direct relation to the season ticket, they just post the video with quick,(very quick) pictures flashing on the screen in alphabetical order with the numbers, say, 5001-6000.

If you pause the video, then "slide" through the numbers, a bit patience and a steady hand are helpful :greengrin , then you can screen shot the picture, unless there is an easier way. :aok:

No need for screenshots There is an free to use open source video editor called Olive you can use. Allows you to frame capture. Just upload the vid. Scroll through to your shot.

I screen recorded it on my phone. This meant I could scroll through it nice and slowly to find my name and screenshot it from there.

renewed mine yesterday :thumbsup:

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

Renewed last week. Understand if folk are worried about cash and can’t commit, family first. But even if I don’t see a single ball kicked, am backing the Club.

I wish I hadn't read that now. I'm thinking that my 500+ for me and my son has been completely wasted. Why does manymanypointsback seem to have so many financial experts and mathematical geniuses all in the one place. And yet none of them saw what was about to happen when mad Vlad reamed them sideways?

Or when a stand doubled in price or their club kept signing new players without offloading the previous batch or ended up with far more coaches/directors of football than needed.

Yip, but we should take council from a club that has pissed £30M down the wall since the last time they went broke :aok:

In many way's we'll miss their pearls of wisdom. Our loss will be Raith Rover's gain :thumbsup:

Hearts will no doubt lie about their figure. Remember they sold 20k tickets to Rangers fans and 8k to Aberdeen at Murrayfield then claimed they had a larger average attendance than Hibs 😂

Kickback already claiming we need to sell 15,000 full price STs to cover our wage deferral and failure to land a shirt sponsor :faf::faf::faf::faf:

Hearts have not even reached 2,000 yet, by the way.

They really aren't the brightest. I'm sure the unprecedented sales so far will more than cover the deferred wages already. They maybe think we throw 7/8k per week at bang average players like they do.

[macca70]

Exactly, they are slagging our club for deferring wages on the basis of ‘where are we going to get the funds in the future to at the deferred wages?’ but at least it eases the financial burden on the club now.

Even with there players agreeing a wage cut, their wage bill is probably still higher than us. They will be bust long before we encounter severe financial difficulties.

They’re not very bright. They do realise its only a smallish percentage thats been deferred? Probably not.

[matty_f]

Please note that this really isn't a dig at anybody, I'm just curious.


Why does getting the exact same seat that you sat in last season mean so much to some people? Would it honestly make a major difference if you were a few rows behind or in front of your existing seat?

:dunno:




I remember some people making a similar point when it was proposed to have a temporary move of the singing section for one game last season, with some folk insisting they would be raging if they had to sit in an adjacent section.

I've always liked the thought of having "my" seat at Easter Road. When I got my first season ticket my intention was to pretty much have it every season until such a time comes that I can't go to games any more. It's as much a sentimental thing as anything for me.

Damn! They make some really good points

I wonder if hibs will refund me if I use the solid arguments they make...

What a bunch o puddle drinkers

[PompeyHibs]

I do think Hearts fans are stupid at times!!

The majority of Hibs income for this season 19/20 is received early via tv money and season tickets sales. When the season is declared ended Hibs will receive remaining money = no issues.
A small percentage of income will be lost due to 1. League placing (but no guarantee we would have finished higher than 7th) plus 2. Additional revenue generated by x4 home games plus 3. Any income the club receives outside football for hire of facilities etc (conference rooms, party hire etc)

What Hibs are doing is protecting cashflows by deferring a % of already planned wages . That keeps our cash position good while we wait for monies due plus Hibs will have this planned in to pay players on (x) date

Hibs will only suffer next season if season ticket sales fall and tv money etc unable to be paid in its usual format!
But im sure if that was the case Hibs would have prepared several scenario plans! Hibs would then put in place the correct measures that would reduce costs to match predicted incomes!

Furlough scheme: Hibs are currently receiving 80% of wages up to £2.5k pm for (x) amount of players and staff. In the short term this is good as pre CV-19 Hibs would of had to pay 100% of wages. The government grant is an unplanned revenue stream that is likely to yeild a good % of lost income.

You got to love YAM mathematics - they are clutching at straws as their team have a bleak future in the championship with major reduced income

The wisdom of Kickback knows no bounds.



For any Jambos looking in;

If we owe money to the players, they are part of the club... so we basically owe it to ourselves.

Nothing to worry about, guys.

You can also sit with mates or folk you have spent seasons sitting next to.

That's a great idea. I'd love that. I got an East Stand Stone when they were launched to have something with a sense of permanency at Easter Road, would like one on the West seeing as that's where my seat is, however having one in the East, and we got one for my son at the West when they were launched will do.

Having the name on the seat would be a really good touch.

if it goes like this then I hope Ron is prepared to offer shares to us 5000 season ticket holders in lieu of a full or partial refund even allowing for live TV. Circa £1.5 million at least would be disastrous for Hibs to fully refund

Why would he do that?

[H18 SFR]

If next season does start behind closed doors I’d be all for the club showing the games online for free. Try and hook in some more fans and hopefully the half season tickets when the gates open again will be flying off the shelves.

[chippy]

Why would he do that?

What are you implying? That if next season is cancelled or reduced and/ or it’s on TV live that Ron shouldn’t be offering season ticket holders some recompense. Do you think 5000 season ticket holders plus will just say ah just keep the dough ?

On that principle how much do you think he should offer back for this season?

I'm asking why would he give season-ticket holders shares.

If these are new shares, why would he dilute his own personal shareholding?

If they're existing shares, why would he give away shares that he has paid for?

And, what value would they be to the ST holders, most of whom will probably already be shareholders?

[GonzoReturns]

Of course want football next season but if it doesn’t happen or is a shortened season etc then not wanting anything back. Renewed with eyes wide open seen it as a donation as much as anything else. Appreciate not everyone who has renewed will feel the same.

No offence, but anyone who doesn’t share your point of view has more money than brains. Surely everyone knows the risk factor in buying now?

I think Hibs will limit ST sales very shortly to allow them to comply with social distancing measures when the season starts in August.

Well some Steven, you’re right, but there’s no reason if next season starts late, we can’t play more games later in the season
Maybe Scottish Cup etc, can move to midweek, and no replays

Why couldn’t Hibs do exactly that and keep family groups together, spaced out from other groups.

All entirely doable.
