Brilliant idea

That and the cutouts will look great in the east and lower FF

Looking forward to seeing our flag 🇳🇬🇳🇬

Maybe somebody could get the flags out of the storage area at the back of the East Stand.

Looks like Murrayfield ruled out then, although I read this morning rugby were hoping to have fans in the stadium in August.

It was never an option once the costs were explored.

Murrayfield died as an option once 10,500 of us bought season tickets thus agreeing to watch the games at home. This way we take the hit rather than the club. FWIW I think it is the best decision for the club and Hibs supporters at the moment with the cash saved enough to pay for the transfer fee and this seasons wages for the 3 new players we signed recently. Would rather have these guys at Hibs than watch a handful of games at Murrayfield.

The season tickets are nothing to do with it. I bought mine at the time expecting to watch games in person ideally.

If it was cost effective then they would have had all those season ticket holders accommodated at Murrayfield.

It was the cost that stopped it. We would have needed about 17,000 each game to break even on it.

The season ticket sales are everything to do with it. Every season ticket sold is one less walk up, and it's the walk ups who are paying the cost of Murrayfield because the club has the money from the season ticket holders either way.

[H18 SFR]

Are many other folk dropping their flags off?

[Bishop Hibee]

I’d like to see the ‘Refugees Welcome Here” banner make a reappearance.

We'll make sure the dotnet flag is on display.

You’ve lost me.

The poster above was saying season ticket sales stopped Murrayfield being an option because we’ve all done that to watch from home.

That’s not true. We’ve been buying tickets to watch Hibs and preferably in a stadium.

The costs of Murrayfield proved too much.

I don’t understand your point on STs v walk ups. Did you think we’d be paying the stadium purely out of walk ups?

If for example we had 5k less season ticket holders and they all walked up for the game. Where would the players wages and other costs have come from?

If Hibs don't hire Murrayfield, then they still have the season ticket holder money to pay the player wages etc. Financially, it's only worth doing if sufficient extra income can be generated from the walk ups to cover the cost of hiring the stadium, otherwise the club incurs a loss.

If we'd sold 5k fewer season tickets, then the club would have had to reduce the playing budget.

Yes but that doesn’t add up to your earlier point that we sold too many season tickets to make Murrayfield viable.

Those were tickets sold.

We still would have needed additional walk ups over and above the people who bought season tickets that you would have preferred to have been walk ups.

If we had 5k season tickets we’d have needed another 12k walk ups each game to be viable.

If we have 11k season tickets we need 6k walk ups to be viable.

It is the overall underlying cost that is the issue. Selling ‘too many’ season tickets was not the issue.

[Keith_M]

If we'd sold 30,000 Season Tickets and played at Murrayfield, that would have cost us an absolute fortune!!!!

Quite a few of my mates and I have used this guy:

He is genuinely really good and very reasonably priced. I went for the heavy duty flag.

It is the overall underlying cost that is the issue. Selling ‘too many’ season tickets was not the issue.

The overall underlying cost of hiring Murrayfield for 17k fans is a fixed cost and doesn't change according to the split between walk ups and season tickets. So using your figures it's always 6k walk ups to make it viable.

If we sold 17k season tickets, the club wouldn't hire Murrayfield just for them because there would be no additional income and only a cost that doesn't need to be incurred because the games can be played behind closed doors at Easter Road.

If we sold 5k season tickets, then it would be worthwhile hiring Murrayfield if the club believes that would attract more than 6k walk ups, because each extra walk up is additional income with no extra cost.

Our average crowds are just under 17k, so it's much easier to get the 6k walk ups if we've only sold 5k season tickets than if we've sold 11k. There would be twice as many regular fans who could be walk ups. And that is my point about why the (very welcome) season ticket sales make Murrayfield unviable.

If we sold 17k we would already have that income to pay for it.

I see what you’re trying to say but it doesn’t make sense. Hibs would have been using it just go get people to be able to watch it in person. Coverage of costs are the same if paid for by season tickets or the same amount of walk ups.

Say the fixed cost was free. Ignoring the discount element for a ST you get the same cash in for that game whatever way you split STs and walk ups.

I’d look at it the other way. If we’d sold even more we could have done it without too much risk. If we had sold much less it would be unthinkable to expect so many walk ups.

The fact we don’t want to hand out the cost is the issue. Whether that’s money already taken in or new money is irrelevant. Remember if you are counting walk ups as additional that only works on top of the season ticket money. If those STs weren’t sold it is making up money we didn’t have.

[Eyrie]

I see what you’re trying to say but it doesn’t make sense.

I think we can both say that :greengrin

And since neither of us is going to convince the other, I'll leave it there.

If we sold 17k Season Tickets and decided to use Murrayfield, would that mean we'd lost money?

Or would it mean we were in a fantastic position financially plus have the added bonus of allowing Season Ticket holders in to every home game?


Glass half-full or glass half-empty?


I'll leave it to you to decide.

would never be allowed by the club though unfortunately. Unlike our neighbours, our club retains respect and class.

No, the club declared that once the costs were explored it was a none starter, this decision was made well before we reached 10.5k season ticket sales.The numbers expected would mean that the whole of Murrayfield would require to be opened and stewarded etc, once Hibs realised that they made a decision.
