Until this year we have always used BTG. Decided to move so we could watch the early ko get a seat and a few decent pints the walk is longer but definitely worth it.

Don't see the logic of stopping people getting in after 2pm if there is room.
Our bus gets there about 2.20 to 2.30 and around 20 of us nip in and get a quick pint before the game.
There are always more coming out than going in and when we get in the place is half empty.
Only costs the club money, bar staff and security are paid for anyway so although what we pay isn't going to change the world it is profit to the club.
I would like for Frank or Tracey to reply to this post and explain the logic behind it, because sure as hell I can't see any.

Maybe Hibs should build a multi-storey car park in the North East corner.
Partick Thistle's original stadium redevelopment plans actually included having them in each corner.

The present daft policy discriminates against out of town supporters who more than likely will arrive in Edinburgh between 2pm and 2.30. All we know for sure at this stage is that some supporters (or groups?) are more aware of what is going on than they're making out.

We run a 70 seater to home matches and it is basically full each week, lots of families on it and we leave Tranent at 2pm.
If we were leaving at a time where we could guarantee getting into BTG a lot of the members would stop travelling with us as they would be at the ground far too early.

I think having read quite a few opinions I'll give the club the benefit of the doubt on this one and wait and see what happens. I will insist on any future venue having a crappy quality big screen though - it adds to the atmosphere.

I find it quite hard to imagine the club can't make a profit from an in stadium bar.
It should be open every match day home and away. I didn't know this year non season tickets could get in. Groups of 4 or more should be able to reserve seats etc

Hibs supporters club down sunny side should sell their land to developers and build a joint Super venue on the corner of the East and Famous5 stand.

I see Frank Dougan has tweeted that Hibs are looking at alternatives to BTG.

I used to go to BTG most weeks to watch the early game and have a few drinks but stopped as it was taking far too long to get served and when it got busy people would stand right in front of the screen! Had a few tell me where to go when I asked them to move over a bit. I hope if we build a new supporters bar we do something to maximise the space so that most people can get a seat and view of the TV(s) if they want one! Something like legends at Dunfermline would be good.

Has anyone had an experience of another stadiums supporters bar which they would recommend ? In the UK or eleswhere? I know in the usa they are popular but usually the climate helps.
Could they do something like they do for rugby 6 nations with temporary marquees or again would the weather / licensing / planning permission cause an issue.
I know the space between east and north stand is used as a car park right now and those spaces would be then lost.
I agree its a shame as they talk about using the stadium for the community but they are actually taking away the clubs community who attend BTG so they can make more money.
Making more money fine but there needs to be a solution and I really hope they develop a part of the stadium so fans can meet before the game otherwise the match day experience looses a part for some fans.

So what we have is a crap facility that no-one seems happy with in its current form.
We also have people complaining that they cant get in
Some of the people that are complaining they cant get in, cant get in because they arrive when it is full, because their travel arrangements dictate that.
It's natural that folk have their own "hot button" issues but the club gets criticised for everything it does by people.
If the net outcome of this is that the revenue gained by the proposed changes that can be invested in the team is substantially more then that is all that matters to me.
We are a football club not a social club, there are plenty of other destinations not too far away that will cater for people's needs including the Hibs Supporters Club, it may require a slight change to folks practices but its not end of the world stuff.
As it happens the club are indicating that they will look at alternatives, do people really think that they should turn down the additional revenue apparently on offer and the chance to increase our engagement with the community?
Have a bit of trust and wait and see what happensLast edited by BSEJVT; 17-03-2017 at 09:43 AM.
