I don’t mind, in the grand scheme of things I’ve kept a good seat and can renew it again this season, but Hibs could have said “ok, we couldn’t give you what you paid for last season, so we’ll park it this season and once we’ll go back to that pricing from next again season “
To me, that wouldn’t have put any outlay on the club, there’d be a bit of a drop in income but I think folk would have been satisfied with that resolution. It essentially swaps pricing for this current season where we couldn’t attend and get the benefit of the better seats, with next when we can - like we’ve paid in advance, if you like.
All that said, i get the folly in giving Hibs cash with one hand and then limiting the income with the other, and so the conclusion that i generally come to is that the money for this season is already spent (both by me and by Hibs) and so I’m happy to write it off, understanding what it means to the club.
I do think we need to deliver on the promises to folk renewing this season though.
