League Cup v Dumbarton - Gesture to Season Ticket Holders?

[craigmounthibby]

Hopefully the club will do the sensible thing and allow all season ticket holders in for free. Would go some way towards thanking them....

....making it pay at the gate for all would be a very poor decision and ensure a tiny crowd...

[whiskyhibby]

They already have....if you bought early with a Cup top up....

[DC_Hibs]

Bear in mind we'd pay the visitors a large chunk based on all attendees regardless of what they paid.

[Pretty Boy]

What about those of us who paid for the cup top up?

We buy that with the potential we will get nothing to show for it. Why should others get a freebie who chose not to take up this option?

Only season ticket holders with cup top up will get into this one for nothing

Yeah as PB says, considering I've paid for my season ticket and top up, I would be extremely disappointed with this as a 'gesture'. It won't happen

[Gatecrasher]

Yeah I paid £50 for a cup top up so no.

[Nevi_SOL]

Cup top up holders will be free season ticket holders won't and rightly so. P.S I didn't buy the cup top up

But the point is its not for nothing - CTU is a purchase that may or may not give the buyer something in return for investing in our club. They rightly should expect that not to be diluted by rewarding others.

I choose not to get CTU this year.... but have other seasons. I do not expect to be given something others have already paid for

[Borderhibbie76]

I think LD will reward ST holders in other ways later on...perhaps a discount on next season?? Not fair on folk who purchased cup top ups if all STs get free entry and won't happen

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

£15 and £5 I reckon

[whiskyhibby]

I'm sure I got it free for renewing early.....or was that last year......

If I remember correctly, last year Early Bird S/T holders got the option to purchase it for half price and the year before that it was free :-))

GGTTH

[Sir David Gray]

I wouldn't expect season ticket holders without a cup top up to get into this match for free.

Yeah I know what you mean mate, in other wording I meant that people who have cup top will not have to buy a ticket for the game

[DaveF]

I hope its PATG.

I didn't buy the CTU this season, but they can't go letting in others for nothing when some ST holders purchased the CTU.

Season tickets are always devalued by price reductions later in season,so why not devalue the cup top up early in the season too?

[3pm]

When will we stop looking for a gesture?!

It's getting tedious.

[greenlex]

I have the cup top up but would have no problem with fans buying a season ticket now attending this game for free as an incentive to buying.

[Keith_M]

We could get Leigh Griffiths in for this match, he knows all about 'gestures' to Hibs Fans.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Unfair on cup top ups .......... and no I don't have one.

The club will have to anti up with Dumbarton too, so if the crowd is 6,000 that means giving away about £30,000 to them out of an already miserable pot. Not forgetting Police costs.

Lets set the gesture stuff aside for a bit and remember that no matter how pissed off we might be at what has happened, Petrie etc, we still want the club to get promoted ....... as far as I can see that will be a tough enough task without us sucking money out of it.

I get extremely annoyed when I think the club is treating me like a customer instead of a valued supporter. The reason for that is because if I was just a customer I would have bailed years ago. For me part of that supporter ethos is not looking for financial payback in compensation for an inferior product like I would from TESCO or ASDA.

Having said that ........ I do expect Hibs to improve the product, but how they can do that by playing home games for free is beyond me.

Free entry to Dundee Utd game for STs ..... small but still a gesture. Time to move on from this IMO.

Oh and ................. Petrie out !!!

Or how about the "fans" stop asking for freebies and dip into their pocket and attend if they want too. I have the CTU myself and I'd be raging if Hibs did this. We are in a dire position and some fans still expect free games to "get some back" sorry but if fans don't want to attend that's fine, but when they only attend free games that doesn't sit well with me.

Yes, I am a "fan".
I have either bought, or received through early bird, a cup top up for each season since one was required. I agree with others views that it's unlikely to happen, but I'd imagine the club have not sold many cup top ups (a few hundred?), and would prefer the club announced all season tickets are valid to significantly boost the gate, and generate (some more) much needed positive pr with fans. That alone might not encourage all to attend, but it would make a massive difference.

And that all other "fans" who have already put their hand in their pocket for a cup top up, are suitably recompensed in future for this one-off through other means.

So I'm not asking for freebies, at least not for myself.

I want £50 back and a free Hibs top, i went to Ibrox.

[lucky]

Sorry but I'm not expecting a freebie. But hopefully it will be a sensible price.
