Are Hibs admitting hospitality season ticket holders during Coronavirus?

[Chorley Hibee]

Following on from the news George Galloway attended a QOS game yesterday (as a club sponsor) speculation has arisen that Hibs are admitting hospitality season ticket holders/sponsors/guests too.

Does anyone know if this is true?

I really hope this isn't the case or I think I'll find myself in a very large group of disgruntled season ticket holders.

Where are you getting this from?

Some posters have mentioned this upon the Coronavirus thread on the Holy Ground.

[Irish_Steve]

Taken from the Hibs site:

We are unfortunately currently unable to take bookings for our match day hospitality due to Covid-19 restrictions on supporter access to games. However, we are welcoming reservations from guests who would like to be contacted as soon as we are in a position to welcome you all again.

[Since90+2]

I don't think general hospitality would be open.

Is it possible they've maybe had 1 or 2 people along who are major sponsors of the club? If allowed by the government I'd actually have no issue with it. We are going to need to retain any sponsors/high paying hospitality clients as we can get as the financial implications of covid continue.

I'm a season ticket holder but wouldn't expect the same access as someone who pays £50,000 a season for example. Appreciate others may feel differently.

If he attended a game yesterday then the law has been broken as Dumfries moved out of Level 1, when he could attend as supporters in limited numbers are allowed, into Level 4.

QoS could be in big trouble with the SPFL not to mention Plod but then that would be his objective.

[Heisenberg]

Hospitality season ticket holders were allowed into the Edinburgh suite to watch away games when it was permitted in the rules. None of them have been in to watch home games as far as I know.

Just ask the club directly, you will then get the true facts.

It won't sit well with me if there is any truth in a select few being afforded special privilege, especially with the 'we are all Hibs' mantra that is currently espoused by the club.

The financial contribution element shouldn't be a factor in this, either the rules apply to all or none at all.

It would surely be in breach of Coronavirus regulations too?

I've emailed them seeking clarification.

I know that KP, and others upon here, have a greater inside knowledge than I - so thought the question should be posed here too.

Hamilton had people in hospitality yesterday. I know two Celtic fans that went.

And they also let in a couple of Hibs fans recently, not strictly hospitality but as a guest which is within the protocols.

Can you dig out the rules / guidance on these allowed guests please? Be good to understand it so I can be even more pissed off if some are seeing live games 🙂

[bingo70]

If someone is ploughing significant sums of money into the club I’d hope they’d show a bit common sense and allow someone like that to descreetly come into the stadium and perhaps ‘do some work’ while the game is going ahead.

Not practical for the club to do that for Joe public but when the club is likely to be struggling for money it makes complete sense for the club to charm potential investors with small incentives like that.

I’m sure that’s going on and I personally think it would be naive to think it’s not.

A guest in not within protocols I believe, it is meant to be those that are essential to the game taking place.

What about press? Do they fit into that description? You could say they’re not essential to the game taking place. But they’re there.

I don’t have an issue with one or two getting into games. I’m loathed to comment any further as I can see exactly where it’s going and think on this occasion we need to trust implicitly the judgment of the club who have done everything (and more) advised of them to ensure that there’s been zero instances of c19 within the club.

I wouldn't imagine Hamilton are doing it illegally slyly. There must be some sort of loophole as the boys I know who went yesterday have zero to do with Celtic officially but got in via official briefs.

[bingo70]

Not so sure I agree with your view, it shouldn't be about money.

Of course it doesn’t but that’s the real world unfortunately.

Hypothetically speaking, say Hibs were trying to build a relationship with a James Anderson type figure that we were hoping would pump millions into the club, if he asked if he could get into Easter Road in say one if the suites in the famous 5 stand, do you think Hibs would say no? Would you want them to?

I’d go in and warm up his seat for him if he was considering investing.

[DH1875]

Thought the crowd looked a bit on the large side when watching it on telly. Watched the St Mirren v rangers cup game and was also surprised at amount of folk sitting in the stands.

[18Craig75]

I thought clubs got a set number of briefs for directors, injured players, media etc etc. Not sure if they’d be able to hand them out to ‘civilians’ if they wished.

As others have said; if it was a case of a potential sponsor being treated I have no problems with that.

Similarly with The Capital Club season ticket holders getting in to watch away games, they pay more so should be entitled to that extra perk when restrictions allow.

[Robbo6-2]

This has been the main problem with covid, its turned us in to a tell tale society.

I am not Nicola sturgeon biggest fan but the photograph of her last week not wearing a mask was a bigger issue the fact someone taking a photograph of it than the actual non mask wearing.

[Iggy Pope]

Not so sure I agree with your view, it shouldn't be about money.

Tricky ground S. Unprecedented times and all that. Privilege will come forward what else will they do? You know it, I know it.

It’s not time for this discussion though, there should be a minimum presence. We are fortunate to have any football at all when people are becoming impoverished. But I cannot believe there are fans present at games this long weekend like Liverpool, Leeds, Harrogate, York etc. If they’re letting punters in there then I’m sure the suits are having a ball. Yet Tier 4 comes with certainty.

[Scouse Hibee]

Okay that’s fair enough, there are often folk on here that post stuff that gives you the pretence that they are in the know when in reality it’s just snippets they have picked up. Far better to get the real version through the club which I’m sure you will.

[Cod Boy]

I do know a scout and there are allowed 6 in at every ground

[Juniper Greens]

I'd have no issues with potential investors getting treated to a "hospitality type offering".

I think it's unrealistic for fans who think that us average Joe's paying £500 should get the same treatment as those paying £50,000

[matty_f]

I don’t have any issue with it. You can’t get 11,000 of us in but if some people can get inside the building on a match day in a safe way to get some of what they’ve paid for, it doesn’t impact me in the slightest and so I’m not bothered at all.

I know as a season ticket holder, i wouldn’t expect access to the hospitality area on a match day so wouldn’t expect it now. Different off of paid for that and other who had paid the same we’re getting it and not me, but that’s not the case here.

Surely we’re not begrudging a few people maybe being able to see the game?

[Chorley Hibee]

Whilst I await a definitive answer I'm loathe to become involved in an argument about this, but I'm perturbed that so many on here believe your level of financial investment can make you exempt from the current Coronavirus regulations.

This mindset is part of the reason we're in the state we are (Covid) and a microcosm of the UK in general right now.

What if they’re not breaking rules?

Also, given the lengths that Hibs have gone to in order to comply with COVID regulations, do you think they’d knowingly break the rules, knowing that to do so could result in serious illness (or, worst case, death) to their staff, and also the risk of a points penalty?

I don’t.

What does it change for the OP in any case?

Exactly this, if Hibs have granted anyone access it will have all been in done in line with the rules. This thread is absolute nonsense and folk getting worked up over nothing.

I would hope not, but I would like clarification about the 'guests' issue and whether these people should be attending in the present circumstances.

I don't think that's unreasonable given I and 11,000 others are currently prevented from doing so.

[Pretty Boy]

There's always been different perks or arrangements for different groups of fans. We've all seen the arguments about them before.

If some hospitality ST holders can be admitted within the rules then it's not impacting me so I really couldn't care less. If it was fans who were just 'average Joes' like me getting in with no reasonable explanation as to why it was some and not others then I'd be more irked.

If you were to tell me that Hibs had put somebody who is facing horrific personal circumstances on the media team for the day looking after an extension lead in the main stand I would applaud the club for the moral compass and ingenuity. It shouldn’t happen but I could support the club.

If the club are courting sponsors at games I would like to see the guidance that allows it to happen. Football isn’t allowed fans at the moment and any trickery to get round that shouldn’t be based on the size of your bag of silver.

Cut the personal insults please, and don't question my standing as a 'fan' either - I can assure you I've more than served my time on that front.

It's my personal opinion that certain people shouldn't be getting preferable treatment when it comes to attending Hibs games, especially when so many have forked out so much for what increasingly looks like nothing.

I'm hoping that isn't the case.

Going back to your earlier post, your accusation of my own self-importance couldn't be any further from the truth. My frustration is rooted in us all being unable to attend ER.

This thread is ridiculous.

A thread on "QotS should be in trouble for letting in man who likes to dress as cat" would be more appropriate.

During tier 4, no one should attend. I think at lower tiers, some guests of directors can attend. I'd have no issues if this was potential investors or bittering up hospitality season ticket holders to feel that they are getting something for their large financial commitment.

George Galloway has created an almighty stooshie by admitting he was allowed to attend a game when many of us thought it wasn’t possible to.

Is it really all that unreasonable for us to debate whether or not our club might have been allowing folk to do similar, and if so what our thoughts are on it?

On some levels I wouldn’t mind. Every game you watch on tv you see a smattering of individuals around the ground. I’ve never really given it much thought but there must be some justification for them being there.

The bigger picture is the one re coronavirus rules, compliance, and who has to comply and who gets to do what they want. It would be interesting to know if any rules were broken in allowing Galloway to attend the match. If not, wtf are the rules that allow tens of thousands of season ticket holders to be locked out but for a chosen few to be allowed in?

Well worthy of discussion imo.

He’s a full time club ambassador. We have up to 20 Directors and senior club staff allocated so would imagine it is that.

Overall think this is unwise, particularly bringing individuals into it without knowing the details.

The ‘speculation’ about Hibs appears to be one post on the Holy Ground thread where it looks like someone got the wrong end of the stick about away game streams.

[trainspotter]

Legend. :agree:

Agree with that, but as a club ambassador you’d only really expect him to be required if ambassadorial duties required to be undertaken - which isn’t likely at the moment, unless we’re letting fans in or there is some form of mixing with the opposition involved. Neither of which I believe is going on.

Plus at 76, I’d feel more comfortable if a living legend of his ilk was watching games at home until a vaccine is delivered.

I only ask because I’ve seen him sitting in the stands on Hibs TV a couple of times and wondered on what basis.

I’ve driven past the ground in the hour or so before games a few times this season and seen a few folk with scarves on etc milling around. Seems a bit odd.

He’s a full time club ambassador. We have up to 20 Directors and senior club staff allocated so would imagine it is that.

Overall think this is unwise, particularly bringing individuals into it without knowing the details.

The ‘speculation’ about Hibs appears to be one post on the Holy Ground thread where it looks like someone got the wrong end of the stick about away game streams.Yeah, but if the thread results in Pat Stanton being unable to attend matches then it's served it's purpose.

Excellent!

Have I got that right? [emoji848]

[Chorley Hibee]

[Chorley Hibee]

It's you that chucked the grenade.

So as Pat Stanton is a club employee he has every right to be there - a point I've never questioned either.

Why would my post be aimed at stopping a club employee attending?

I asked if 'guests' were being admitted based upon their financial contribution? The rules in place show this shouldn't be allowed.

You then asked if anyone had heard anything.

This then led to another poster questioning whether Pat Stanton should be in the stadium.

This thread was always going to stir up a hornets' nest.

You can't cherry pick the consequences that you're willing to accept responsibility for.

I only ask because I’ve seen him sitting in the stands on Hibs TV a couple of times and wondered on what basis.

I started a thread based upon a current news story, and talk amongst some (who mention it on this very thread) that 'guests' have been admitted to ER this season.

This forum is going to become a very lonely place if you can't start a thread without being held responsible for every comment placed upon it.

[HibeeHibernian4]

Exactly this, if Hibs have granted anyone access it will have all been in done in line with the rules. This thread is absolute nonsense and folk getting worked up over nothing.


I would wager that most clubs in Britain have at some stage or another flouted the rules on entry regarding COVID. Because it's one rule for the higher ups and another for the average fan. Now shut up, pay your money for a stream and don't ask questions.

[Libby Hibby]

I know that if you sponsor a player at Rangers that you get one ticket to ibrox for every home game. The lad I know sponsored the player for this precise reason.

[Ozyhibby]

The thread is a legitimate one given how sensitive an issue this is. We are living in strange times where parents have not been allowed to watch their own kids play football since February.
We have 11k season ticket holders who haven’t been able to watch a single minute of live action and are still getting charged extra for streams for cup games. It’s understandable that some may be feeling a little peeved at the situation and would rightly question if others were receiving privileged access to games.
I’m not naive enough to think that clubs won’t be inviting sponsors into games for the same reason that not every ticket for Tynecastle makes it into the public sale. I also don’t think the club are naive enough to think that there won’t be a stooshie if evidence of special treatment comes out. Let’s just hope that Hibs sponsors are more discreet than Galloway.

I dont see any talk.

The only person asking if there is anything going on at Hibs is you - the only thing about sponsors was when somone said that (some time ago) sponsors were invited in to watch away matches - that was already public knowledgre and hasnt happened for ages due to the tiering in Edinburgh.

The rest of the thread is arguments about whether the thread is valid or not.

Perhaps the sensible thing to have done was to have sent a PM to the fans rep first to determine if there was a story in the first place?

[killie-hibby]

Following on from the news George Galloway attended a QOS game yesterday (as a club sponsor) speculation has arisen that Hibs are admitting hospitality season ticket holders/sponsors/guests too.

Does anyone know if this is true?

I really hope this isn't the case or I think I'll find myself in a very large group of disgruntled season ticket holders.


It could be true. If challenged by any legitimate authority Hibs defence would be to state that all attendees are employed by both clubs, and the others are attending a business meeting within social distancing guidelines.

[WhileTheChief..]

No, you didn't ask. You said that "speculation has arisen that Hibs are admitting hospitality season ticket holders/sponsors/guests too."

You’re way too quick to jump in and ‘defend’ the club at times.

I think you’ve called this one wrong. It was a legitimate question to ask by the OP but you jumped to the conclusion instantly that the he was mischief making instead of just asking a question and giving his view.

Most of us like to discuss things that the club does, it’s just that very few of us agree with everything they do 100% of the time like yourself!

[Scouse Hibee]

Agree 100%, its certainly interesting to me and given its gone over 4 pages, seems to be interesting to the members here.

Agreed, the best answer will come from the club but a valid question never the less and one the OP was perfectly entitled to ask.

[Hibbyradge]

This has been the main problem with covid, its turned us in to a tell tale society.


I think all the people dying is a bit of an issue too, tbh.

[Peevemor]

Just because "normal" supporters can't attend matches, does the club have to waste time and resources in publishing and justifying the name of every match day attendee?

What difference does it make to us watching from home?

If someone looking in decides that a certain former player & manager isn't an important enough employee to merit a seat on match day, will the thread have served it's purpose?

Will the supporter posting about the "speculation" on a very public and accessible forum (which we know is read by the press) be happy if Hibs are eventually punished? If we're forced to forfeit a match or two?

Write to the club by all means, but I honestly don't see that anything good can come of this thread.

But many of you think that I'm out of order on this one? I guess we'll just have to disagree as we obviously have differing ideas about what supporting a club is.

If Hibs are punished for anything it’ll be their own fault for doing something wrong, not the fault of someone asking a question on hibs.net.

It’s a fairly straightforward question, I’m not sure what the big deal is.

I've received a direct answer from Hibs employees to at least 2 questions I've posed upon here previously.

The last time I looked, this was a Hibs forum designed to discuss matters related to Hibs and football in general.

I was hoping a night to have slept upon it might have left you less angry and more rational, it seems not.

[Peevemor]

Fine. I'm wrong and you're all right.

Crack on!

I'm not getting the rage against the question to be honest.

On the holy ground 2 posters have said they know of people who have been at games so it seems a legitimate question to ask.

It's only serious if there's been rules broken, and if so it won't be the OP's fault for simply asking a question then bringing debate over who can attend or not. Plenty people will think strongly on why others are allowed to attend if they also attend home and away. It doesn't really effect you though so I can see why that wouldn't be part of the debate for you and instead go baws deep in protect the club at all costs mode.

There you go again questioning my credentials as a Hibs supporter because you don't agree with me.

Seriously, you could do with taking time off the forum as you're becoming repeatedly confrontational (not just on this thread) with anyone who dares to take a different point of view from you.

It can't be good for your health.

[green day]

On the general question "Are Hibs admitting Hospitality ST holders during Coronavirus" the answer will not be binary, they did see some away matches when allowed in August or Sept.

Someone on the Holy Ground says he knows 2 people who have watched as a guest v Aberdeen which was in August, iirc?

Our fans rep KP is browsing this thread, so perhaps worth waiting to see what he says on the matter?

It's not difficult to look yourself but since you are too lazy 🙂 it was Paul Smith and scoopyboy. The later has subsequently clarified things in so much it was an away game and nothing to do with Hibs.

Like I said yesterday, I 100% know there was a couple of Celtic fans at Hamilton over the weekend and I doubt they are risking breaking the rules and losing points or money most weeks so there must be some kind of legal (not breaking the rules, nobody has also said Hibernian are either) way of letting a group in, the same QOS probably won't get done for letting that pussy Galloway in to Palemerston.

It doesn't necessarily mean that any club have broken rules by allowing people in. There could be circumstances around this that many of us simply aren't aware of.

I don't, by the tone of the OP at all, think he was implying the club have broken rules either and I don't think he posted to either cause trouble or grass the club up.

Its clearly the case that guests/sponsors have been admitted.

I saw ex-employee at game on tv also. Seems that 11,000 can't get access, but have all paid to the cause. But if you plough in extra that means you get in, along with being friends of people in high places. Does that about cover it?

Over 24 hours of relative calm is good going though. Something to build upon.

[The 90+2]

Looking for problems no, just watching the game and seeing attendees.


Did you screen shot the screen then message the person with the evidence asking why they attended before reporting back on here? If not, it seems you shouldn't be allowed to mention it, according to a couple of Poirot on steroids on this thread.

[Peevemor]

No,it's you who is misunderstanding.

The evidence comment was clearly in reply to hibbyfaelibby.

Of course you can have an opinion. I said you can disagree b but don't go asking for threads to be removed when it's a fairly innocuous topic.I wouldn't say it was innocuous at all, but that's just my opinion so maybe it doesn't count ;-)

This thread is a late condender for thread of the year.

Now I have no idea if anyone has got in but even with covid around people have been getting into football matches.

I know from down here that it is possible as my friend has been to every home game at a local club. His job on match days is quite funny but a good way of still getting in to see the games.

[Heisenberg]

Yes, but obviously I can't name the people on here

Fair enough if you’ve seen people or been told by individuals. Can’t say the thought of a club sponsor or two getting in to see matches has me all that riled up to be honest.

[Lendo]

Six pages of nonsense.

Yep, utter *****. People just looking to stir up trouble for the sake of it.

[Pretty Boy]

I think this thread can be summarised as:

There is a suggestion some people may be being admitted to Premiership games, including those involving Hibs.

There has been some suggestion this may breach some rules but that's not been clarified. Given the high profile incidents involving football clubs over the last few months I'd be surprised if any club was that daft.

Some people are aware of people who have been admitted to games. I wouldn't really doubt this despite an understandable unwillingness to name them. I know an individual who is non essential to the match day logistics who has been to at least 2 Hearts games this season so I believe it is happening at some clubs. I believe hsi reason for being there could be explained if required but it's essentially a made up role.

If any club gets in bother for these practices that may or may not be happening then the blame lies solely with said clubs. The rules are in place and you break them at your peril.

If there are no rules being broken then the clubs have nothing to worry about from this thread or speculation elsehwere. Again I'd suspect this is the case given the scrutiny football is under.

It's mountain out of a molehill stuff really. I trust Hibs to be abiding by the rules but if we aren't then we face the consequences.

In your opinion. 11,000 can't get in, but if you spend a bit more, you get in, therefore prioritising money.

Do you agree that season ticket holders should be ahead of others when fans are re admitted? Is that because they’ve spent a bit more?

Its clearly the case that guests/sponsors have been admitted.

I saw ex-employee at game on tv also. Seems that 11,000 can't get access, but have all paid to the cause. But if you plough in extra that means you get in, along with being friends of people in high places. Does that about cover it?

OK then you saw an ex-employee? Fine how did you recognise him on TV if he had a mask on?

Not asking you to name just tell us the game and the time and then we can all check it out.

I'm more disappointed that there isn't more "rage" about a so called Hibs supporter going out of his way to dig dirt about the club, about a very serious issue, on a public forum.

Obviously that's just me.

You're coming across as a quite pathetic cheerleader for the club. It's okay to support your team and still be capable of critical thought.

This very much feels like the complaints about the loyalty points system which was great until it didn’t suit someone’s own circumstances and then it was a problem. Essentially it’s alright until someone feels like they’re the one missing out.

A sponsor getting to see a game is of no concern to me. I’m not a sponsor. If i was *that* desperate to see a game, I’d be on to Hibs to see what the deal is with becoming a sponsor. In the meantime i can understand completely that as one of 11,000+ season ticket holders. I can’t get in and I have no problem with the club courting people who are able to put significant money in to help plug the financial gaps that covid has caused and help the club compete.

That to me, makes perfect sense for the club to do and actually the club would be being incredibly negligent if they weren’t trying to fund raise.

Folk wanted a two tier system of fans if it meant they got a ticket for Tiny, they weren’t bothered about the season ticket holders who missed out then.

It wasn't ill-advised it was premeditated.

He is no QotS fan hes used them to their cost.

[Peevemor]

[weecounty hibby]

I'm not interested in the issue raised but if I was offered a seat at the game with 100 folk at it is rather use my Hibspass and watch from the comfort and warmth of my own house, with a beer and snacks on tap. Why would anyone want to go to the game in those circumstances? I can't wait to get back to ER but not sitting on my own with no one near enough to talk to etc. Full houses and yip I'm there, handful of folk. No thanks

[B.H.F.C]

What are you on about?

You popping up on threads, constantly, having a pop at folk positing anything that you perceive to be slightly negative. I’m clearly not the only one that’s noticed it. Referring to folk as clowns, now it’s sarcastic pish about loyal supporters etc.

[LancashireHibby]

I’ve worked at 10-12 ‘behind closed doors’ games down here so far this season and the accreditation process is pretty strict. There are generally around 150 people accredited to attend each game which sounds quite a lot, but even for a basic recording of a game (not screened live) you’re talking 10-15 staff involved with that alone so the numbers creep up quite quickly. Everyone must have a particular role in relation to the ‘delivery of the event’ other than a finite number of club directors and guests (maximum of 20 in total IIRC). So it is entirely possible that sponsors or certain ‘friends of the club’ will have been granted admission, but only within the numbers permitted.

This deals with all the comments and arguments neatly and succinctly, good post.
I think the thread is badly titled if the OP had genuinely emailed the club and posted before receiving a reply, my view is that it does come over as someone spitting the dummy out.

As for being desperate to see Hibs, of course i am - to the point where I’d be able to find however much it costs to sponsor, well, no - not that desperate.

You started saying that people moaned if it didn't suit their circumstances, then went on about two tier system regarding the piggery. Fans who travel the length of the Country only wanted some sort of recognition for doing so, regarding the "more glamorous ties". But it sounded like you had an issue with them

[Baldy Foghorn]

Good Post. Don't think baldy f would be complaining at all if he was a sponsor, just as he didn't complain when he benefited from ticket priveleges.

Fans who travel the length of the Country only wanted some sort of recognition for doing so, regarding the "more glamorous ties". But it souned like you had an issue with them

Then you’re missing the point, BH. Did everyone wanting loyalty points complain about them? No, it was only when they didn’t have enough loyalty points to meet whatever criteria was needed for Tiny that it became an issue, all of a sudden it was precisely their level of loyalty that they wanted recognised.

What’s the difference here, the sponsors pay a lot more than the season ticket holders, all they want is that contribution recognised.

I have said i don’t care if sponsors get in, I’m not a sponsor and like every other season ticket holders, I’m locked out. Sponsors getting in doesn’t change that and I’m totally comfortable with the reasoning behind sponsors getting to see a game, it makes sense to do so.

Again, for the avoidance of doubt, i commend the people who go home and away, I would love to be able to do it regularly.

Also not sure how that warranted the “sums him up” comment.

[Carheenlea]

Do you agree that season ticket holders should be ahead of others when fans are re admitted? Is that because they’ve spent a bit more?

A season ticket holders argument about thinking they should be ahead of others when fans are readmitted would be based on their regular and committed support of the club. Similarly, a perfectly working Points Scheme gives those who support the club both at home and on the road a fairer chance of securing tickets for in-demand games.

The “Spending a bit more” argument has only really been used by those who opposed loyalty schemes, and never by those who supported its function. It was only ever about the most regular supporters being given the first opportunities to attend matches, and when supporters are readmitted, it can only be season ticket holders who are given access. How they work out who that will be in a limited environment is going to be a real headache.

We did have a good facility in place a couple of years back that would have assisted with that.
