    Eh.

    Fans were not supporting it by the looks of it.

    Better to be financially better off than run a loss just for a few hundred to get a pint in the stadium.

    I am sure in the longer term something will be introduced.

    Fans were and still are supporting it hence the reason for closing the doors at 2pm as it has reached its capacity. As for opening after the match it used to be really busy but due to incompetent staff and mismanagement massive queues started to form and it could take up to 25 minutes to get served. People started going elsewhere.

    As for pie not, nobody can doubt it is a quality product but it's not the fare for your average supporter.

    I agree, you can't satisfy everyone but it would be a great shame if the facility was lost.

    I have several family members who are a lot older than me and that's where they meet up before games, in early to get a table and have a few beers and a chatter and in to the FF for the game, come next season that will more than likely come to a halt, they will probably just go straight to the games now, nowhere else for them to go where they will get a table to sit round and chat away, Hibs club is always busy as well and the last time i tried to get in i got a KB, and the pubs that are left open nowadays are full on match day, and most are not where you can take the kids along with you either.

    Membership for the Hibs Club could see a boost if, as looks likely, the fans bar facility shuts for good.

    So now we know. Rumour has it that Wimpey Homes have been offered one half of the playing surface as we only make use of it every other week.

    What's the current status of the Loch Inn? Last time I went past there (admittedly a while back) it was closed.

    Would be a good place to have a Hibs Pub that's open every day, if the club were interested in moving in that direction.

    Edinburgh City are there.
    Most of us will have a shudder at the thought of Hibs getting involved in pub running again.

    I find this bizarre, surely BTG is a good source of income for the club?

    No doubt they make a few quid out of it every few weeks.

    I'm pretty sure the new arrangement will make them more though, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

    As said Edinburgh City opened it as their social club. Members only but it only costs £20 per year. Being a member you get 15p off a pint which brings it down to £2.95. Get all the live football on TVs that are actually watchable. I was a BTG regular for years but the place was such a shambles we moved to the Loch Inn.

    And does it open every day?

    The demand for membership for this place will go up a lot for next season with the void being left .!!

    Yes members only

    I suggested a while back, to the club when I was at ER, that they should just ditch the crap draught beer and go down the bottle bar route.

    Would enable even the most undertrained of bar staff to serve relatively quickly, the quality would be consistent and it's less work.

    Perhaps it's something that can be looked at when/if the club decide to do something else with a supporters bar.

    That's a great idea - stopped going BTG years ago as the draught beer was awful. Isn't easy to maintain beer lines that are so rarely used as well. Packaged beers would be much better - and, as you say, quicker.

    Temperature would be an issue. Only thing worse than crap beer is warm beer.

    It's probably in response to the smoke bomb epidemic.

    At least we will have a permanent area to treat everyone affected by the toxic green fumes.

    Yeah good idea but I think there should be both as bottle bar wouldn't take up much space and would speed up service at bar for people who prefer draught.

    Ave been in a few times but not a fan it's a bit soulless for me I think club should have memorable on the walls and show old hibs classic games on tv instead of some of the crap EPL games plus foods poor and over priced imo

    Is there not space for a floor to be added in the East?

    Unfortunate for those who use it but no loss to me. The beer and food are poor and overpriced. Please don't come to Robbies though as it's mobbed now with the larger crowds as it is 😉

    If Hibs are getting good money for it, it's a great move.

    A new Lidl would make more every day of the week, why not just close the whole stadium then?
