Which one? It cant be the middle block ( 18 ) because it would prevent anybody sitting in the blocks either side seeing the side of the pitch the other side of the standing area area to them.

You could try one of the end blocks ( 16 or 20 ) but even then the top third of the block next to it would still almost certainly be prevented from seeing the corner of the pitch directly in front of the standing area.

As I said ... half assed. I am absolutely sure, especially if we have a better season than the last one, that if they made the whole thing a proper rail seated area ( the seats would be required if we are in Europe ) we would get at least a thousand fans wanting to go there from the off and I think nay saying that because of our recent efforts at a standing section would be comparing apples to oranges, because a proper dedicated self contained standing section would be a massive step up from those tepid offerings in the minds of many of our younger fans.

Sorry, I am aware this is a ST thread :greengrin

LA and a few other teams have middle sections standing behind the goals, fans in seating sections can see fine. Loads in Europe too

Killie have one the back of one section, bet a few of their fans had a right huff
25931

Shrewsbury are having the back of every section

Hearts chap at my work said he looked at the dots of ST's and it was nowhere near 10k sold

Bitter i dare say

There are genuinely sad Bams on Kickback that do dot counts as a means to support their small man syndrome! These Bams would tell you we haven’t sold 10k, but if we have, it’s because everyone is buying concessions when not entitled to!

10k is a fine landmark to reach in mid June and if we can pass 11/12k by time the season starts, that would be tremendous considering last season’s performance and the current financial climate

We’re a far more resilient support than a lot of commentators on here would lead you to believe 😉

How sad a life must you lead if you're counting dots of a team you don't supports season ticket sales.

Saying that I'm not surprised cause I know a few hearts fans where it genuinely seems like an obsession to point out how big and great they are. Werdos.

Hearts fanbase seems to be made up of the kind of guys that would stick a cucumber in their swimming shorts on holiday.

16 major honours in 148 years, none in the last 10 years, without a win in a trophy they dub the 'wee cup' for almost 60 years, have won both major trophies less recently than their biggest rivals and they call themselves the 'big team'.

Hibs record in the major competitions is dismal as well. We don't have any kind of delusions otherwise though.

That's the difference. Our league records are pish. Our cup wins our pish. We know that, they somehow think they're the "third force" like being 3rd in anything actually means something.



Regarding 10k that's a good number considering how bad it was last season. Hopefully get over 11k by start of the season :flag:

Season ticket sales will be kept higher as the gate prices are very high.

Guessing anyone attending 10+ homes games will just buy a season ticket now.

I'm still tempted to buy one.

Ten thousand at this stage is tremendous. After last season, I thought we might struggle to get that many by the time the season starts.


It's more than I thought we would have sold at this point.

Hearts fans are hilarious, they have no self awareness at all.

They are not a bad team at the moment, but lets not pretend they are world beaters.

In their last competitive match - their only chance of silverware this season - they had no (zero) shots on target in 120 minutes. A capitulation of monumental proportions.

They have reached the Scottish Cup final 3 of the last 4 years and bottled it in different ways each time. In between these campaigns they lost to Brora Rangers :thumbsup:

As mentioned by another poster, they have just entered a second decade with no trophy, and there is barely a Hearts fan alive who has seen them lift the League Cup.

They are a joke club, overspending and lack of end product is the Hearts way :agree:

When you consider anderson has put in around £15m allegedly thats a spectacular fail on all fronts. If we had wasted that amount and been as dismal as them this place would be going tonto. They will continue to overspend as they have done for decades and always believe someone will bail them out. I find it quite funny actually.

You would have to ask the club WTF the point of that is? The only way I could see it working would be if they made something like the top 10 rows standing, coz if you try it in sections inevitably you will block somebody's view who is sitting.

We have a 20,400 seat stadium, the FF lower only has a capacity of 2000 so why not do it right make the whole thing standing and stop being so half arsed about stuff?
Yip your right all or nothing.

My original comment made reference to having the back rows standing mate, if we were going to take the half assed approach that would probably be the only sensible way to do it. LA FC's standing area takes up the whole of the stand behind the goal so of course it doesn't block anyone's view, I've seen enough of their games on You Tube to know what it looks like.

Would people standing in say the end block of the FF lower really be blocking anyones view? I suppose it’s hard to tell but I wouldn’t think so surely?

If you had an end block filled with folk standing I would imagine it would almost certainly block the view of the corner of the pitch for anyone sitting in the top few rows of the block next to it ... the only way I could see this working would be say to have the top 6 rows or so of each FF block as standing sections.

If you ask me it's either do it properly and commit to it as a 2000 capacity proper standing area that the club pushes as an exciting new venture to enthuse especially our younger fans, or don't bother at all. I for one think going for it full on with the club fully behind it and pushing it could be a roaring success, take the tepid approach and it will just be yet another failed attempt at building an 'ultras' area that simply looks like yet more lip service from the club to something they for far too long have seemed to see as an inconvenience.

We have won both trophies more recently than they have and they have been relegated more recently than us. We came 3rd two seasons ago and they came 3rd one season ago. Last seasons Hibs is a perfect example of how little that means going into next season.

We have a promising new manager and all to play for. Maybe not much to laugh at but at the same time nothing at all to fear. They weren’t great last year, everyone else was just worse.

Agree with this. Would love if the club did this and would make Easter Road more appealing for a lot of fans imo

The LA FC seating areas on either side of standing are further out than the end blocks in the FF lower and are also set at an angle, apples and oranges with that one so far as I can see mate. As for LA Galaxy, they do seem to have seats at either side of their standing section, but looking at the pictures I still can't see how the folk in the top rows of the end sections can see the far corner of the pitch at that end past the standing folk. I for one would be looking for a massive discount for a ticket in those sections.

At la fc there is about 10 seats in the end block that is flat with the standing seats, check first pic particularly. You can obviously see fine thanks to the aisle.

When I worked with Fife Hyland in 2009 to set up the East Stand Singing Section he wanted to allocate a quarter of the new stand at the away end. I told him 1,500 was way too ambitious given that we only had @300-400 standing under the gantry.

A Standing Section of 2,000 at Sevco might be possible but never at Hibs.

Why not? ........ I just don't get this ultra negativity based on an apples v oranges take on the history of attempts to create a standing section since the stadium has become all seated. To date every single attempt at it has been against a background of the club practically being dragged kicking and screaming to agree to it and every version has been the same, a small section of a much bigger stand and every time out of the way .. either at the arse end of the 6000 plus capacity east or up in the gods in a corner of the FF.

None of these 'options' holds a candle to the prospect of a 2000 capacity FF lower with rail seats, which rather than being yet another square peg in a round hole which has been the approach up until now, would be a self contained area set aside for the sole purpose of bringing together our most vocal and boisterous supporters .... it would be their part of the stadium, not an inconvenient part of a larger area or out of the way, but an easily identifiable, and controllable, part of the stadium which would be front and centre in the stadiums atmosphere and which they could readily identify with.

If the club were fully behind this and made an effort to push occupation of it I'm absolutely convinced we could get up to 1,500 fans or more using it at most league games. I point you to the blizzard of posts doubting we would get anywhere near selling 10,000 STs for next season on the back of last years poor effort and yet the fans of this club have put that theory to bed way before the season has even started ... I simply do not believe that if given the chance many of our supporters would not jump at the chance to create and be part of a proper kop style standing area.

Oh well that closes the debate then…..

Even in the space of 13 years, things have changed a lot. 2,000 could be achievable. We likely wouldn’t want to go that high due to costs anyway but it’s not a crazy suggestion. I agree with some other posters that the option would attract young fans who otherwise may think twice about going.

As someone who was heavily involved in Section 43 and then Since 1875 it was extremely challenging to get 100 people involved in that sort of culture, never mind 2k. Safe standing in FFL definitely would have helped, but the facts are 20% of our ST holders do not want to stand and sing for the majority of the match. That’s not a criticism, it’s their choice. Old Firm have the same problem. Yes their numbers are greater, but percentage wise it’s similar. There’s a different mentality in the UK compared to most other European leagues.

It maybe wouldn’t be full every game but a full standing section for the derbies would be definitely happen.

The atmosphere would be immense.

Hibs have plenty of seats just now - give fans another option. It would take time but I’m certain a good section of noise and flags etc would grow with others who just want to stand also able to find space to do so.

Why would it have to be just ST holders?. I would imagine quite a few of our younger fans still exist as walk ups given the cost of a season ticket for anybody over the age of 16. I use the term 'ultras' quite a bit because its useful as shorthand, but I wouldn't think a fan wanting to be part of this would need to want to be part of 'ultras' culture, simply a person who thinks it might be more fun to join in with a singing section behind the goals.

Like I said, the club has never actively pushed a singing section and there has never been anything like the FF lower made available for such a project. IMO the reaction to such a move would be vastly different to previous efforts and I remain convinced it could work well and be far more popular than even guys like you involved in previous attempt think it would.

I don’t disagree re walk ups or popularity. 2k standing is not over ambitious, 2k standing and singing I felt was, personally opinion. It’s a real shame it didn’t happen in “our time” as we had a great structure in place and people involved and I’ve every confidence we’d have rocketed overnight in terms of interest and participation. However, LD was very clear with us during several face to face meetings between 2017-2020 that this wouldn’t happen and it wasn’t on the clubs radar. A change in guard has removed that blocker and I hope it happens.

You have been a passionate and articulate advocate of this FF Safe Standing area for several years. I’ve stated in the past that if you were to pony up alongside other activist supporters to meet with club management, your enthusiasm would carry a lot of sway. But merely posting repeatedly on here will achieve little for all of your efforts.

Another flaw is your lack of knowledge of prior dialogue between management and supporters on this topic. I’m unclear whether the Gantry area at the South End of the Old East was ever the subject of discussion but I can absolutely reassure you that the discussions that I held with Fife Hyland to establish Section43 as the original standing and singing area were carried out with analysis, formal meetings and minutes. Later on, Hibs12thMan, Sect43, Since1875, and BlockSeven have all met with officials to agree measures to improve the matchday atmosphere.

Back in 2008-2010 we started with a hard core of 400 who would regularly stand and sing, with up to 500 more in sections 41-45 joining in. At big games we had the whole stadium rocking. The football product was mediocre but the singing was the loudest we’d had since the McLeish and Mowbray days.

I’m not saying that a Famous Five Standing Area wouldn’t work. But we do have to factor in the truth that most of our most passionate fans have in the last 40 odd years preferred a side on view of the match when buying a home season ticket. As one member of a family of such supporters I wouldn’t be keen to swap my great view in the East for a position where I’d struggle to tell what was happening in the far penalty area. I don’t believe I’m alone in that assessment.

Put yourself in Garry O’Hagan’s position. GH was stadium manager ten years ago when we were discussing flag cabinets in the East. You need to have a strong business case to convince him and Ben Kensall to allocate a whole 2,000 places in the Famous Five. The argument has to be a lot more robust than ‘Build it and they will come’.

FF lower would be a winner. 21st Century version of the old Cave:greengrin
I think young and old will queue up to get in there.. STs and walk ups.
"Back o the goals" has historically been where supporters choir/singers congregate in football grounds.

I know about the concerns/debate here .But that area is and has been underused for years.
Needs to change .

Would be so nice if we could buy a Saturday 3pm season ticket.

Currently I think it works out at about £62 a game (gets more expensive if you factor in holidays).

Other than random work related coincidences enabling the odd attendance, it's not a great value purchase.

Far too many home games seem to be mid week at 19:45 (for example), and I'm too old to get home later than 8pm midweek.

This is nothing to do with hibs; scheduling is broken for people that are working and too old to get home at stupid o'clock.

Just saying.

As someone who was heavily involved in Section 43 and then Since 1875 it was extremely challenging to get 100 people involved in that sort of culture, never mind 2k. Safe standing in FFL definitely would have helped, but the facts are 20% of our ST holders do not want to stand and sing for the majority of the match. That’s not a criticism, it’s their choice. Old Firm have the same problem. Yes their numbers are greater, but percentage wise it’s similar. There’s a different mentality in the UK compared to most other European leagues.

You don't need 2000 people involved in that "culture". You goto any end in any european game and the ultras consist of a few hundred in the middle, the rest of the curva is generally made up of "normal" fans who want to stand, sing and don't mind the flags and pyro etc.

Regarding the old firm thats nonsense, Celtic have sold out their original standing section and are creating a new one for next season for the "BHOYS" to occupy so bang goes that argument. Rangers Broamloan lower stands pretty much every game (circa 4k). Aberdeen have created a standing section in the Merkland "The Red Shed" which was two thirds full this season (with them being pish, boring *******s and less fans than us). Then your "UK mentality" argument, watch any game on match of the day and most premier league grounds will have fans standing behind the goal, even City these days ffs.

Previous singing sections never worked cos they were a complete afterthought and often the worse parts of the ground. Its also ridiculous to say "only 200 stand now", that is the case but since the 2016/2017 successes new comers started moving in and insist on sitting, which will have a knock-on affect.

A standing singing section of 500 in FF lower would look and sound amazing. I don't think it's that crazy a suggestion that you could get those sort of numbers if the area was properly backed by the club.

RIP
17-06-2022, 08:57 AM
I’m seeing repeated posts falsely suggesting that the site of the singing section at Easter Road has always been an afterthought.

Utter Nonsense!!

They have always been and will continue to be the result of formal discussions between activist supporters and stadium management. There is next to no point in post after post (regardless of how eloquent) claiming that 500/1,000/2,000 supporters will step forward and fill a Singing Section in the Famous Five Lower until a significant number of people actually commit to moving their season ticket.

Only then will club management be convinced of the demand.

I'm not sure why it has to be ST holders though. Back in the days before numbered seats a substantial number of fans were walk ups, as you didn't need a ST to ensure your regular spot. I'd expect a large number of walk-ups to choose the standing area as their area of preference. Until there's one in place it's impossible to gauge its popularity. The club needs to have a bit of faith with this - other clubs experiences suggest it should work.

I had a chat with one of the Ticket Office staff a few months ago and their view was that the FF Lower was considered to be a 'safe space' for young kids and their families, hence the reason they don't (or at least didn't) want to have a mixture of young families and... how to put this... the more 'exuberant' among our support.

When we go to Hampden, there's no longer any separate Family Section, as there was years ago, and a lot of parents have complained about what their kids experienced while trying to watch the game, or even being unable to watch the game because everybody around them was standing. On my last two visits, I've actually seen kids in tears because of the behaviour of some fellow fans.

I realise those fans that have already made up their mind on this will ignore all that and expect the kids to 'just grow a pair', or whatever, but I can see why this was the club's point of view on this issue, up to now at least.


I hasten to add that this doesn't affect me in any way, but it's worth looking at it from all angles.

Can be empty as it wants if the highlights are us tucking another team away.

Fact is we have plenty of spare seats in the home section v our season ticket numbers and that part of the ground has poor sight lines so it’s pretty inevitable that it will be the sparest populated.

Still I’m 100% sure Ron n co will not be so stubborn as Leanne as what to do about that and once they have managed to get the rest of the stadium back up to scratch (no small ask after it was left to rot) then I’m confident they will be open to ideas.

On the FF lower, as I said before - rail seats cant go in this close season, there is far too much going on elsewhere, never mind the logistics of moving people who have STs.

If the club just said **** it, stick the singing section in the middle, the sightlines of those in in the side areas as you look at it are really badly impacted...........this is why the lesser greens have their area in the corner - so nobody sitting in a "normal" seat loses sight of the action.

So if / when it happens - initially anyway - it will be to one side of the stand not the middle.

Hearts are into their second decade without any trophy
Hearts are into their 6th decade without winning the League Cup
If Scotland host major international football tournaments, Hearts cant host matches on account of their toytown pitch.
Hearts have a new stand where the media get soaked every time it rains


On the plus side


They have an excellent fan initiative (borne out of necessity) which gives them a financial edge, plus the Anderson cash - I wonder just how much they have spent to win nothing?
They will also get a whole load of Euros money merely by the luck of the draw in the year they got third.
They will have more ST sales than us off the back of their "most successful season for a decade" in which they still won nothing.

On the plus side


They have an excellent fan initiative (borne out of necessity) which gives them a financial edge, plus the Anderson cash - I wonder just how much they have spent to win nothing?
They will also get a whole load of Euros money merely by the luck of the draw in the year they got third.
They will have more ST sales than us off the back of their "most successful season for a decade" in which they still won nothing.


There are aspects of hearts business that is excellent - but there are many many areas where we trump them and will continue to do so.

Wish we were the same? Get a grip

Got overexcited, corrected now (tbf it could be their 7th decade, there are almost no Hearts fans alive who witnessed it, thats for sure !!)

Let's not detract from the fact that over 10k Hibs STs sold at this stage (Still over a month before Season starts) is brilliant considering where we were at the end of last season (both on and off pitch).
I can see us at 11.5k come 6th August once we sign 1 or 2 fan pleasers.

And if we're up there challenging and the football's entertaining, we could sell another 1,500 half STs at new year.

There's no denying it's a great effort from those who have committed.

Yep. I want us to beat them every time we play them, go further than then in the cups and finish higher in the league than then every season.

That gets more and more challenging each season they plough millions more into their coffers than we do ours. At the very least we could get off the backs of the board for trying to generate as much of that cash from commercial activities as they possibly can.

Agree entirely

I'd be amazed if we sold that many half season tickets. Don't think we normally sell more than a few hundred.

I agree, but given there is clearly a drop off compared to last season, then maybe a lot more who chose not to renew this season will return to the fold if the season is going well. Maybe not 1500, but possibly a lot more than normal.

It's an astonishing effort after last season. Ron Gordon, his management team and many of the players should be incredibly grateful.

The launch of the new interest free payment plan with the first payment in August might give the sales a bit of a boost.

Norwich game you have to go online and book a ticket I believe.

Cards should arrive before the Hearts game.

New ST cards will arrive before the first game of the season but they're slightly delayed.

You only get a free Norwich ticket if you renewed before the early bird deadline, if you didn't then its £10. These tickets are print at home or mobile tickets, there may be a paper ticket option but I cant remember.

I went to the ticket office on Wednesday bought my Morton ticket and picked up my free Norwich ticket both old style paper tickets.
