Many posters on another thread are saying the can't get a ST due to high cost.
My question is why do SPL teams pay players so much when the quality on show is terrible?
Rangers and Celtic are still paying £20,000 a week to a couple of players Hearts around £8k?
Hibs have now shed the "top" earners but GOC, Sproule, Hart and Stack will all be on decent money.
The SPL cannot compete with England so why try? Who amongst us if we were good enough to play football would refuse that chance for a wage of between £40 - £100K a year? Everyone says a footballer has a short career well £40k is a good wage and the last I checked you can still work after you "retire" from playing.
If clubs paid realistc wages we would not be discussing ticket prices. It is all about supply and demand and in Scotland the demand is on a rapid decline.

No reason why the standards fall because you pay less. Paying a **** player £10,000 per week or £1,500 matters not a jot. He's still a **** player.
We could of course say stuff it, pay much less and let the young scottish talent come through.....

Would love to see standards rise but they have declined year on year for about 6 years now. I see no light at the end of the tunnel.
O'Hanlon and Sodje are our standard now not slating them I have not seen O'hanlon and I am sure he will be solid, Sodje has done okay but has very little skill his shooting has produced roars of laughter at ER. The English div's 1 and 2 are not a step up and we are struggling to compete with signing players of that standard. GOC and Sproule would never have signed if they did not have a Hibs connection and lacked a better offer.
It is time to have a COMPLETE overhaul of all Scottish football as the current product is dying on it's feet whilst still pretending we are a player when we are not.

Just thought of a way to improve ST sales this may work.
Set the prices then say if 5000 ST's are sold the price comes down by £10
6000 £20 reduction
7000 £30 reduction
so on and so on
If we hit say 12000 we get £100 reduction, with a prorata reduction for concessions
This would encourage us all to make Hibby's return

The cynic in me thinks that as in other similar schemes the starting price would be set so as to offset the possibility of a reduced price later on.
