Here is an anouncement from Hibs.......


"Get behind the club and buy Season Tickets.

If you make plans to attend games at a previously announced time, book transport, days off, accomodation, etc, we still reserve the right to change the time and date of the game at short notice. If that means you've just lost a lot of money in the process and the Season Ticket is no longer value for money, then tough.

But remember, we're all in this together (but some of us are more in it together than others **).

Best regards, The Club"



** With apologies to George Orwell.

This is the price we are going to pay for getting rid of "The Rangers". We are going to be on tv more often.

Although annoying probably a price worth paying.

Exactly. Very irritating but everything has a cost.

Hibs vs Hearts is now the biggest league game in Scotland.

Did anyone seriously think it wouldn't be on telly??

Is that really fair?

[StevesFamau5]

So empty stadiums all round... :banghead: how can they expect to fill a ground on a sunday lunchtime without either a. Lowering gate peices and offering season ticket holders a deal. Or b. Buy one ticket get one free... Or am i being way too simplistic here.

Sorry mate but this isn't fair at all. They have been selling tickets for an event to take place on Saturday at 3pm only to move it to Sunday ten days before the event. In doing so they are creaming the paying fans and I for one will not allow this to happen to me again. I've had it with the whole lot. Next season I'll use my money towards a golf membership and maybe I'll be guaranteed a game on Saturday

[Geo_1875]

Absolute ****ing disgrace.

I was down at ER on Monday renewing my ST.

Now have to go back down to cancel.

I need to give my employers more notice for time off than the SPL need to change the date/time of games.

The SPL/SFA/SKY/ESPN can go **** themselves and to be honest so can the clubs that don't have the bottle to stand up to them.

[LancashireHibby]

Was always likely to happen. The following week's games don't seem to be confirmed yet either?

Staggering that the link on the SPL website still lists 'Club 12' by the way.

That's because the SPL share hasn't yet been transferred from Rangers FC plc (IA) to Dundee.

On topic, I'm bemused that folk seriously thought the derby was going to be on the Saturday 3pm if there was any sort of TV contract.

Its the price we all pay for having SKY/ESPN, its revenue at the end of the day.

TV dictates kick off times, its the nature of the beast. Of course it doesn't make it right, but its not Hibs fault, and every other club will be impacted at some stage too.....

I read somewhere that Celtic are having to accept that more of their home games will have to be shown as part of the new deal.

[Golden Bear]

Season ticket holders aside, the nature of TV scheduling has got to have a detrimental impact on advance ticket sales for the "pay as you go" punters.

Annoying, but it's where we are unfortunately.

[DC_Hibs]

This was always likely to happen so not a surprise really. Ideally games would all be 3pm on a Saturday but those days are long gone and the derby is regularly shown live and more so with no old firm games.

The notice given for the Utd game change and now this one is very poor but there are exceptional circumstances with the TV deal not being agreed until this week. Like it or not, TV is still a major percentage of income so clubs will continue to bend over and take it rather than lose the money....especially with the income reduction from the demise of HunDog FC.

Compare it to other countries and you will see that Saturday and Sunday afternoons with short distances to travel are fek all in the grand scheme of things.

There first home game is on tv. I think they will also find more home games being televised as they don't have the Old Firm derby to televise. They also don't need to hold back games to show them winning the league in March/April as the job will be done by February.

ESPN/Sky are only interested in viewing figures so they are only interested in The Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen who provide the bulk of their subscriptions. The rest will make up the numbers.

I can't go on the Sunday.

It's annoying but the lateness of the announcement was determined by exceptional cirumstances. The fans demanded that Sevco start in SFL3. Surely when we did that we knew that everything has benefits and costs, this is a cost.
