How many season tickets sold

[CJHibby]

With Lee Johnson in charge..
With Jon Dahl Tomasson in charge..

@2million pds per 5000
...over to you RG (businessman)..

[OldEast]

If we could just move on and support the club instead of all the whining maybe things will be ok.

[bingo70]

How much extra a week in wages is JDT wanting? How much extra wages are his back room staff wanting for relocating to a different country? How much of a bigger transfer budget is he demanding? What if despite all these extra costs, he’s not a success, as he hasn’t been in 2 of his 3 managerial jobs? How much is it costing to pay him off if he’s a disaster like he has been in 2 of his 3 managerial jobs?

Christ, I would have preferred JDT but this is just mental. You’d be lucky if the managerial appointment would swing season ticket sales by 500 but 5000, absolute cloud cuckoo land nonsense. Get a grip man.

[Springbank]

The OP has a point though.

As did the first reply.

And how can Ron bring the 2 together?

By exciting the fans with smart spending of the Boyle money, and more.

If Johnson is given a shoestring budget he'll be no more than the next Fall Guy

So yeah, we need to unify, but the transfer market is now the only way the fans can be excited or motivated for next season

Big big summer ahead

A disaster? He had a 40% win record at Excelsior who are a yo yo team and only lost 6 games in 25. He never got sacked there, in fact he was head hunted for a bigger job so I’m not quite sure how he was a disaster there. Far from being a disaster, he appears to have been a pretty big success.

[easty]

If we sold 10000 greggs sausage rolls at £1.50 each at home games then we’d make £2.85m from just the league games.

So Ron, if you’re not going to do it, how you planning to fill that c£3m funding gap.

I am livid.

Why dont we appoint both, we'd need to build a bigger stadium?

Stand corrected on that front then, I read online he was hated by both those fans and nearly got both relegated. If that’s wrong though I’ll hold my hands up for that.

General point still stands though.

Might be dislikes because he left them mid season. He left them in the play off positions and they ended up getting promoted through the play offs.

[SlickShoes]

We could employ almost any manager on earth and it wouldn't swing season tickets by 5000. What will is having a team people want to watch.

All of which pretty much sums up why Malky McKay was probably the most viable option. Wouldn't cost much, he has a point to prove in respect of where he thinks he should be as manager of a bigger club. He had a decent last season in this league.
The European coefficient has never been better. This is not the time for a wee experiment, just get a steady hand with a knowledge of the league and an eye for a player.
Season ticket sales will be way down anyway irrespective of who is appointed, so why risk paying over the odds on a manager untried in the Scottish game. Mackay wouldn't cost much and if you gave him the savings into a transfer kitty, he would likely use them wisely. He did manage to unearth the leagues joint top scorer last season.
It's all well and good for the owner to talk about ambition, but in my opinion he is clueless and so far he has only taken us backwards. Deciding it was better to go into a cup final managerless was the first real red flag. Maloney appointment was a bigger one.

MacKay’s season with Ross County was nothing special, recency bias just makes it seem that way because their results in 2022 were much better than results earlier in the season. Their final points total was exactly in line with their average points total in the top tier and they did nothing in the cups. Derek Adams & Jim McIntyre had much more successful seasons with Ross County than MacKay plus Adams did so with a smaller budget.

Also, Charles-Cook was at Ross County before MacKay arrived, he had nothing to do with his recruitment.

[CJHibby]

Imho, I expect Hibs to sell about 9000 season tickets if Johnson takes charge but potentially selling nearer 14-15000 with JDT. At a difference of 2million pds, I'd expect Hibs could go for the the bigger name manager.

Even after winning the cup we couldn't win for over 100 years we sold less than 14k season tickets, so a manager is not going to shift thousands of tickets.

JDT would sell more ST's than LJ but nowhere near that figure you're quoting, absolutely no chance of 14-15k season tickets being sold if JDT was appointed.

I wanted JDT too but what planet are you living on? I don’t know one non-Season ticket holder who would have been swayed to get one by JDT but apparently there is 5,000 out there just waiting to buy.

[Green_one]

Yip. Some of the assumptions are fanciful and the basic arithmetic is embarrassing. One poster cannot multiple 10k by 1.5 x18 games. Out by a factor of 10! Others ignore VAT and reduced price seasons.

Frankly how an unknown manager would make the decision positive for someone not otherwise buying a season ticket, I have no concept. The current economic position for the entire country will naturally depress sales. People are worried about paying for a raft of costs, so secondary expenditure like Netflix and seasons will get dumped. Add a terrible season and selling more than last year is near impossible.

I am renewing but I expect to be sitting in a significantly diminished crowd. Most teams will be the same.

What makes you think that? If we appointed Klopp or Pep, possibly; otherwise no.

[CJHibby]

How many more fans would buy season tickets with JDT over LJ in people's opinion??

[Hibernia&Alba]

How many more fans would buy season tickets with JDT over LJ in people's opinion??

It's very difficult to say, but I wouldn't think much of a difference. JDT isn't a superstar of management or anything. Roy Keane would have seen more sold I think, due to his name.

[Ringothedog]

How many more fans would buy season tickets with JDT over LJ in people's opinion??

In my opinion, none. A manager rarely excites. A good to watch winning team will have people buying season tickets or attending games as walk ups . Our last high profile manager(Neil Lennon) did not increase season tickets by any great amount, winning on the pitch kept our walk ups high

Actually mackay went in to a mess and managed to turn their season around from being relegation candidates to top six European place candidates in the space of 2 transfer windows,with a meagre budget and squad.

He made them considerably more dangerous in attack,and all together a much more organised unit.

As you said also Charles cook was there last season,some turnaround in a player who was a very different prospect to last season.
I’m sure mackay must’ve had some impact with his skills as a coach in order to get the best out of the lad.

If you don’t fancy mackay for hibs fair enough,but afford him the merits for a job well done.anybody when they have a wee look at that team can see the transformation they’ve had in one full season.

Hopefully whoever gets the hibs job can do similar with 3times the budget.

[Smartie]

I thought that was an Albanian flag in the thread title until I zoomed in and saw that it said "admit one" on it.

[JamesHFC]

2 friends have just renewed after the appointment of Johnson. Exciting times ahead.

[Hibernia&Alba]

New manager in place and big summer of squad transition ahead. Get your season tickets if you can, laddies and lassies. Obviously, these are difficult times and millions of people are struggling; nobody should feel guilty if cash is tight and there are more important priorities, but sign up again if you possibly can.

Fingers crossed for a much improved season. :flag::flag:

[OldEast]

Can I suggest all those who said they wouldn't renew will, once they see the first couple of his signings.

[MKHIBEE]

Some fans would still moan we should have appointed the one we didnt

[OldEast]

Ah sorry for that. Not ITK at all, but I do believe we will see the type of signings we've been crying out for in midfield and up front as Ron is going to back this guy and we've money to spend.

[theonlywayisup]

If we could just move on and support the club instead of all the whining maybe things will be ok.

Yes agree! Without wanting to repeat what I've posted on many occasions, we've around 8,000 supporters that will support Hibernian FC no matter what the circumstances are. Over the years, the make-up of the 8,000 changes because of their own domestic circumstances. I've been one of this 8,000 for the last 20 plus years.

There's also around 6,000 supporters that want to have a good reason why they should purchase a Season Ticket or to put it another way will use every 'excuse' going on why they won't purchase a Season Ticket. Whilst I had a young family, I was in this category. The difference in Season Ticket purchase between having LJ or JDT as manager would, in my opinion, be marginal. More important is getting the right players in and seeing how they perform in the early games of the season. Having watched the rubbish we've watched for the last 9 months, I would not have an issue with supporters waiting to decide if they want to renew or not.

IMO, we need to get behind our new manager. What he's done or not done in the past is not a concern to me, it's what he does at Hibernian FC that matters to me.

"Recency bias" used on a football forum... whatever next?. My view is that after the first 6 or 7 games of the new season we will see alot of "confirmation bias" from whichever side of the manager arguement seems to be winning 😂

I think the club are going to target more flexible multi-game ticket packages going forward to exploit that section of our support for whom a full ST is either unaffordable or impractical due to work family commitments. They tried it this season and it seemed popular.

I'm defo going to renew and possibly take up one of the packages for the new suites, but I've got dietary requirements (coeliac) that I'd like to see the club cater for - anyone know who to contact at the club that's going to be in charge of the hospitality/catering?

[Borderhibbie76]

Surely you’d contact the hospitality/catering department ?

[Carheenlea]

I was playing golf with a Celtic ST holder on Saturday, and he was telling me about renewing his. Sits in the stand opposite main stand, upper tier and going by the pictures he posts on social media I wouldn’t say they his are the greatest seats in the house, but his ST costs £680.

He did say there were cheaper ST’s to be had, but really just goes to show how good value the Hibs ST’s are, particularly the Early Bird deal.

Don't know about the numbers but I would definitely fall into that '6,000' category you mention. I have a 10 year old and Saturdays are important (midweeks just wouldn't happen). He goes hot and cold when it comes to football.....last season we had lots of family COVID issues but if I was to guess I would say we would do well to make between 6-10 home games next season. This isn't because of who the manager is, its just life. Actually I don't care too much who the manager is, we could have made a shock move for Robbie replay but if he was backed by Ron and signed half the Scotland team I'd be delighted.
For me it is that money is finite and I wouldn't get that much use of a season ticket at the moment. Things will change in the future and I'm sure I'll get one again. the fact I'm not getting one for 22-23 has nothing to do with a bloke who played a handful of games for Hearts and who none of their fans remember....we could have brought in Klopp and it wouldn't change my decision.

[RIP]

I renewed the day of Lee’s appointment. I’m pig sick of the board sacking head coaches every time we hit a sticky patch. With every change we get a second revolving door of players.

It’s no way to run any business let alone a football club. My favourite Hibs players are always the ones who stick around for a few seasons or who come back later in their careers. They play for the jerseys and connect with the club and community in a way that the transients don’t.

JDT was only ever going to be passing through and his payoff, plus that of the Sporting Director he was insistent on, would have cut into our player budget for years to come. He was never a fit for Hibs.

How many more fans would buy season tickets with JDT over LJ in people's opinion??

[Scotty Leither]

Bump...I've just renewed as I don't support a Board or a manager, I support the Hibs.

People won't renew for all sorts of reasons, if it's financial and they can't afford it, then fine, the club will need to be imaginative with pricing for some games to engage the floating supporter. I was pleasantly surprised at the number we've sold when I asked the ticket office what the numbers were standing at.

It's not as high as they hoped, but it's not a bad number IMO with nearly a week of the deadline for early bird to go, and who knows maybe another signing in the door shortly to whet the appetite?

I also paid the £200 for the Albion Bar, so to my mind that's effectively the equivalent of one and a half season tickets, and additional money into the club, so it's not all doom and gloom.

We've got a new manager who apparently wants to play on the front foot, so let's hope we dish out a few tankings in the League Cup to get us off to a flier and try and generate some early season momentum.

IF you can afford to renew, dae it...

[Ringothedog]

So what was the figure given?

[Scotty Leither]

Over 8k, Ringo.

I wanted JDT too but what planet are you living on? I don’t know one non-Season ticket holder who would have been swayed to get one by JDT but apparently there is 5,000 out there just waiting to buy.
I would be amazed if 5,000 Hibs fans have even heard of JDT.

I had to look him up when he came into the frame.

So the actual numbers sold haven’t been updated for a while?

So it seems some fans are a bit so-so about renewing their season tickets. If you don't renew you are a so and so.

So far from being a satisfactory answer…

[stuart-farquhar]

So, a needle pulling thread!?

[ahibby]

So over 8k renewals so far then? Thats actually more than I thought it would be. Pretty good going thus far. I fancy us to reach 10k

So far so good then but a bit more needed.

[Eyrie]

So what?��

So, the ANL original or Metallica cover?

[basehibby]

I have not renewed and not likely to this year - but that's more to do with current personal finances allied to the fact a ST doesn't really make budgetary sense for me as I don't get to enough games. I "ponied up" over lock down purely to help the club through a rocky patch - now it's time for me to take a back seat for a while regardless of the team's form. I'll still be along to games only PATG. Fingers crossed that Johnson has me thinking twice and breaking down the door for a half ST at Xmas time!

[WestCoastHibby]

MacKay’s season with Ross County was nothing special, recency bias just makes it seem that way because their results in 2022 were much better than results earlier in the season. Their final points total was exactly in line with their average points total in the top tier and they did nothing in the cups. Derek Adams & Jim McIntyre had much more successful seasons with Ross County than MacKay plus Adams did so with a smaller budget.


Also, Charles-Cook was at Ross County before MacKay arrived, he had nothing to do with his recruitment.

Talking balls there pal. Look we’re Ross County were when Malky MacKay took over and where he’s taken them to this season. Just a tad above Hibernian FC the “big city club”
I’m sure he could do a great job for Hibs but no, yet again English Championship/ League 1 is seen as a great place to come from

What part of my post was factually incorrect?

BTW, the last manager we appointed whose previous job was in EFL League 1 got us our first 3rd place finish in 16 years.

[Stokesy's on fire]

I really had to do the right thing here I have had my season ticket now for 12 years and I can’t make as many games these days due to family life and work commitments. My first season ticket was purchased when the East Stand was built all those years ago. I attended nearly every home game when Colin Calderwood was the manager and the football was utterly horrendous but the days out were class. Travelling from Train, Bus or Car from the North east of Scotland to support those boys in Green. Since then my work has changed and family life has set upon me these last few years. The football has its ups and downs. I have had to balance things to make sure the important things in life are taken care of. I made sure I purchased a season ticket during the Covid season to help keep the club in good shape so I felt that I really had done my bit to support the club as did many of our fans. But again we must balance what truly matters. The washing machine is making one hell of a crazy rattling noise and the car looks like mater from Disney’s movie cars so a tough decision was made regarding the season ticket some things are just more important so I had to explain to the better half that the washing machine and the car were simply not important enough to merit changing and the season ticket was renewed.

Glory Glory!!

Hibs , They just get under your skin :agree:

[bingo70]

I’ve been hanging fire as I want to wait to move seats and there’s no good ones available just now.

If I just get my seats anywhere now so I get the early bird offer, I take it it’s easy enough to move once more seats become available?

Sorry if that’s been asked already.

Yeah you just need to email [email protected] with your details and where you’d like to move to and they work through the requests.

They were really helpful when we moved seats a couple of seasons ago.

[Sir David Gray]

Renewed tonight ahead of tomorrow's deadline.

I can't honestly say that I've renewed for any reason other than habit and not wanting to lose my seat that I've had for over 10 years but you never know.

I'm not particularly looking forward to the new season as things stand but I sincerely hope I can be proved wrong.

[Alex Trager]

How do you set up hibs kids?

I haven’t got my child on the system yet, so I can’t assign the ticket to them. Has anyone done this before?

Is it a matter of physically going up to the ground?

There's a 'Hibs Kids' option in the top left next to single tickets, season tickets & hospitality. Then you have a choice of 'Hibs Juniors' for 6-12 year olds or 'Hibs Minis' for 0-5 year olds.

EDIT: Just realised that you might be asking about adding your kid to the system; from memory you just need to create an account for them on eticketing and add them to your network.

I don’t know you but I’m extremely proud of you and the decision you have made.

[andyf5]

Renewed 2 season tickets a couple of days ago but never received a confirmation. Surely a simple email thanking you for your purchase is not unreasonable? I managed to check online that it had actually gone through.

[Stuart93]

Anyone got any idea how much we’ve sold? I’ve not renewed and had two calls and voicemails reminding me the deadlines today

Is that any indication of the numbers or just a friendly reminder? Not sure if this could be the usual right enough

[mutley]

This thread (and this forum) represents a small part of the overall support, but if the whole support group are similar, then I think we might have a decent number of ST already renewed, with a few still waiting on seats being released before purchase.

Usually there are announcements on social media as to how many we have sold, so hopefully we will hear something soon.

Let’s all look forward to what will hopefully be a much more successful season 22/23 and get ER rocking.

So here I find myself hurtling at breakneck speed towards an oncoming Ron Gordon on Season Ticket Deadline Day and the question is - who's going to swerve first?

Either he announces a major new signing and I then renew two season tickets, or I could renew the tickets first but then he may decide he doesn't need to make the signing any more. Or neither happens :I'm waiti...

What's the deadline time for renewal? This could go either way, I may need to consult Pedantic on snacks. And where's Jim White when you need him?

At least Rod Petrie would have recognised a ransom note when it was presented. ****ing amateurs.

Great post! Hope you're duly rewarded!

Getting the sense of a late flurry with fans signing up before Early Bird expires. Posts on here and some social media posts from friends. If that’s replicated across the wider support then we might be looking reasonably good for uptake at this stage.

Okay, so I've crumbled and renewed my ST. It seems that the habit of over 55 years attending Easter Road has been harder to break than I thought. My natural optimism is in danger of making a reappearance :dunno:

There's no price increase.

After today you risk losing your seat, you don't get a free ticket to the Norwich friendly, a visit to an open day or a 21/22 photobook. There may be a couple of other things too but that's all I can remember off the top of my head.

[hibbymac]

From Official site -

Early Bird: Supporters can take advantage of our Early Bird suite of benefits until Tuesday 31 May. These benefits include a money-can't-buy Season 21/22 photobook, free ticket to our pre-season friendly on Sunday 24 July and access to our open training session at Easter Road during September weekend.

Supporters have until Tuesday 31 May at 5pm to purchase to access these early bird benefits. After this point, season tickets will come off sale for a short period of time to allow for some operational changes to be made and should go back on sale within 24 hours of the early bird period ending.

[Smartie]

That's me renewed.

I was probably as disillusioned as I've been at any point in my now 23 (?) years as a season ticket holder when Maloney was in charge but I've actually been quietly impressed by what Hibs have been saying and doing since they took the difficult decision to relive him of his duties.

Looking forward to the new season and I suspect the games will be very quick in coming back round again.

[Bushwoof]

Just done mine and my son's. Couldn't resist the free Norwich ticket.

I am optimistic LJ can bring some joy back to ER. Remember beating Arsenal though. That was about as good as it got!

[Godsahibby]

[IberianHibernian]

It was a poor season and i'm glad fans are viewing it so even after a Final & Semi appearance. Was thinking back the 80s for comparison :)Semi and final in cups in same season are exceptional years for us ( and any other team outside Glasgow ) in any recent decade incluing the 1970s . You mention 1980s and I remember we did like this year in 1985 / 86 losing to Aberdeen in LC final and SC semi . 2015 / 16 better with a final and a win , likewise 2006 / 07 with a LC win and SC semi . 2021 / 22 has been a strange season - we finished 8th but were no worse than 4th or better than 10th . Next season we could easily finish 4th without improving or impressing or finish 3rd without making a semi final in either cup . Or play better football than last year but finish 8th or worse again with worse cup results .

[Capt Mainwaring]

Hearts fans continue to perpetuate the claim that many Hibs fans take the piss by buying concession ST’s when not entitled to them.

Not saying it hasn’t happened (pretty sure it happens at every club) but I’ve bought a few ST’s over the years for my daughters when either they were U 18 or Students - on every occasion proof of age or Student status had been asked for before ST issued.

Surely the club enforces this for all concession catagories!?!

New Supporters bar (with entrance to seats at back of FF lower ) and safe standing.

“Famous Five community stand”

Would be brilliant.

[G15 Hibs]

Reading that a lot of people were moved from the FF, and on the website it’s looking very empty.

That stands going to be sitting empty most the year isn’t it?

That's interesting. Do they say if they've been actively moved, i.e. told they have to choose a seat in another stand, or been encouraged to move elsewhere? There must be a reason if that's happened to some folk but others have been able to buy seats in the FF as normal.

[Sir David Gray]

As I said the other day, that is a really impressive number to have got considering the current economic climate and the horrendous league season we've just had.

I didn't expect us to get anywhere near that.

[Stairway 2 7]

With Lee Johnson in charge..
With Jon Dahl Tomasson in charge..

To reply to the original message. I'd guess we'd be close to selling out with jdt

I'm amazed there's another 9,999 masochists out there. It must be the new pies and chips enticing people back. :greengrin

[Ronniekirk]

Given the turmoil of last season anything over 10 thousand is very decent A couple of really exciting signings woould see us break 11 thousand

I assumed they’d been moved cause they were no loner with kids or something?

i wish hibs would switch off comments on their official announcements

well done to the 10k

[worcesterhibby]

Club announced 10,000 sold... Rocky signing clearly pushed it over :cb

that's brilliant news :thumbsup:

Honestly, 10k is actually really good.

Good effort, everyone.

Impressive

Well done guys

Aberdeen were on 7,500 a couple of days ago, their Early Bird ends today.

[B.H.F.C]

Much better than expected.

I didn’t think it looked as much as that when I looked at the map the other day.

[G15 Hibs]

Amazing what a signing from Rainbow FC can do

[Stuart93]

Surprised at the number so high, really good stuff

[Ringothedog]

Not surprised at all, we have a fantastic and resilient group of supporters

[HendoDelivered]

Pleasantly surprised at this. Well done all

Nothing new!

We moved out of the lower to the Upper as I expected it to be more empty than previously next season.

Utter waste of a good spot in the ground as it should be the loudest part of the stadium where we draw the ball into the net in the second half but instead it's less than half empty with loads of kids on their ipads not even watching the game which can't help the team one bit but why change what dosen't work...

[blackpoolhibs]

Not really surprised we've gone past the 10k, most folk are full of wind and pish when they threaten not to renew.

[BegbieHSC]

I’m actually really impressed with that number. Tbh, the way some folk were going on, I thought we’d be on the 7k mark. A few good signings, and we might actually make last season’s tally.

[JimBHibees]

Brilliant numbers let's keep it going. :flag:

[Brightside]

I believe thats the tag line for next season.

[NAE NOOKIE]

10,000 is pretty bloody good when you consider the doom and gloom surrounding the club over the last 6 months, not least the folk queuing up on here to let everybody know they weren't going to renew .... perhaps Hibs.Net and other social media isn't so much of a barometer of fans feelings as some of us take it to be.

If we can hit north of 11,000 by the start of the league campaign I for one will be far more encouraged that the fans of this club are a lot more stoic than we give them credit for .... I include myself in that, even if I will never ever give our 'fans' a pass for failing to support the club in a semi final against Hearts.

On the FF stand ... we have moved to the west from the FF upper for next season, in my case because I got thoroughly fed up of asking stewards to move from the rail in front of the exit because they were blocking my view of the goals. But the lower deck is looking less and less popular and it has to be getting to the stage where the club can't continue to do nothing about it.

Don't believe everything you read on here Begbie, it's infested by folk who can't wait to put the boot in and are outraged by everything the club does, most of the views on here are no longer representative of the wider Hibs support. We still have a large loyal support, great work on the season tickets, let's keep it going.

Helps when you have decent folk around you. 🤣

[Mrimbetween]

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

[Since452]

10k is astonishing at this point considering last season and the general vibe amongst the support. Fair play.

[Garymcl]

Excellent news cmon all hibbys get encouraging any fellow supporters you know to purchase a season ticket I honestly think we’ve got one of the most loyal supports going we love our club canny wait for the new season :flag:

[BoomtownHibees]

To be fair if you look at the dots it certainly doesn’t look like 10k sold so I was pleasantly surprised seeing that number being announced

[hibbyfraelibby]

A factor next season is the return to normal with SKY withdrawing permission to stream games. If you want to see the game you've got to go so that means you need to buy an ST rather than sit in your mates house watching on the back of his ticket or having one per household

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?

It costs alot. They will try say 3 sections and if it works and demand is there increase

[NAE NOOKIE]

In which case my original concern remains .... how if you have 3 standing sections do the folk sitting in the other sections see past them?

[shamo9]

Exactly. I'm honestly struggling to grasp how someone could have a negative take on this. While a lot of supporters are certain that an all standing Famous Five Lower will be great, there's no cast iron guarantee. From a business standpoint it's much more sensible to try it on a smaller scale and if it is successful, expand. Hibs have to juggle the cost and potentially upsetting people that are already sitting there. It also remains to be seen how many people in the East will actually want to move when the time comes. Our singing section groups are pretty small in number at present.

[Stevie Reid]

After last season, and in this financial climate, 10K already is amazing.

I’ll be there no matter what anyway, but it’s fantastic that so many fans still have the appetite for it.

[Stairway 2 7]

It will be a full block

[Hibernia&Alba]

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.

[NAE NOOKIE]

It will be a full block

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

[wookie70]

10K is a really good effort. Hopefully another few decent signings will up the number further

Hey, I just buy a season as I am lucky enough to be able to afford it, I dont get to go to games, dont sit in anyone's house watching Hibs. i think you spout rubbish at times.
Some of us supporters probably put more into the club than many who are lucky enough go to games. but everyone does have an opinion!
GGTTH

[Pretty Boy]

Not really surprised by the 10K.

There is a narrative that we are some kind of outlier when it comes to being a fickle and unreasonable fanbase but it's not really true.

We have a hardcore who, though they will criticise and moan when they feel it justified, will still support the club where it counts. 9/10K is about that baseline and that is significantly higher than it was 30 or so years ago, long before social media and the like came along.

[Brooster]

Spot on mate 😆. You'll be looking forward to the Bonnyrigg game.
