    Agm

    It's the AGM tonight. I always enjoy attending these whether the mood in the room is positive or not.

    Looking forward to hearing Neil speak tonight. He always speaks well.

    Anyone else going? What do you think the hot topics for tonight will be.

    Crap pies, tannoy problems, filling in the corners and loyalty points 😂

    There’ll be a question that’s driven by panic about hearts being “miles ahead” of us.

    A plane is standing on a runway that can moves like a massive conveyer belt.... actually that's maybe for the pub afterwards.

    The team seems settled, that's us lost key members and replaced them with players who are as good, if not better, a few times so I hope some of the other gripes do come up time and time again on here are addressed such as the tannoy, behind the goals and catering, even if the answer is that there's no plans to review as the club would prefer to focus on x, y and z instead. At least folks will know that the topics have been considered and dismissed for valid reasons rather than the club are unaware of the issues or just ignoring them.

    While they're not big things they do reflect on the club and both our own fans, and others view of the club and we want the fans attending our stadium to have the best experience possible so they keep coming back.

    Exactly. Would be keen to know progress on the indoor pitch at EM too. I think that would be a potential game changer for us

    Hopefully someone suggests the idea of allowing street food style venders to take over some of the pie stands.

    There was an episode of Peep Show a few years ago in which Jeremy states that the news peaked with 9/11, it was so spectacular that nothing else gets him going anymore.

    I feel a bit like that with the Hibs AGM. Nothing will top the one in the 1st season after relegation. The build up included proposed takeovers, the protest, the anger, LD arguing with a former player, STF getting up and going on a furious rant, the reaction to that and some top notch pies into the bargain. These good times just don't cut it when it comes to giving good AGM.

    Never been able to make one since becoming a shareholder. Is it advisable to get there a bit before 7? Are there refreshments?

    Like another poster said I'd be keen to find out where we are on the full sized indoor pitch at East Mains.

    That was peak AGM.

    The others have merged into one for me. There's usually quite good talks/presentations given about the squad and what they're working on etc and the year they had men and women's Scottish Cup's out on show was good too.

    I suspect this year will see:

    Loyalty Points (again) - with the same answer given about ST value, resource consumption, and admin costs.
    Sevco/Celtic ticket allocation - probably with a "if we can sell the tickets to Hibs fans we will" answer to place the oneous on the fans to reduce the OF allocation.
    McGinn transfer/money - answer around being a club that allows players to progress to the next level and how we secured the best deal for Hibs with emphasis on the money being spent on Kamberi/Mallan/Horgan.
    McGinn add-ons - answered diplomatically without giving anything away.
    HSL vs FoH/DNA - Emphasis placed on how NL is thankful for the extra budget and the fans contribution.
    Catering/Shop/Tannoys - ongoing work to improve the fans matchday experience with Lafavourita pizza stall, new tannoy system, and shop products.
    Singing Section - Discussion around the difficulties to move them anywhere now that stadium is mostly full of ST holders.

    I'm mostly just going for the pie.
    Mon the Hibs.

    If that is the answer to the Celtic question I’d expect someone to ask why we don’t put the tickets on sale far earlier to make the tickets available to supporters at a time when costs may be a lot less, ie not right before Xmas. I went to buy a ticket for the derby and the Celtic game two weeks ago and couldn’t, even though I can buy tickets for games that aren’t until next year.

    Can't go tonight-another AGM.

    Hope someone asks about the ridiculous fixture list in December followed by a break-bad for business never mind the players.About time the clubs put pressure on SPFL admins re the way they treat customers.

    Nothing to do with the football side of things at Easter road gives me any cause for concern just now. It’s probably as good as it’s been.
    Any questions I had would be to do with STF’s succession plan, how the club sees the game in Scotland progressing, if we have any thought on the introduction of FFP rules in Scotland, have we investigated the possibility of cross border leagues etc. Most of it they would not be able to answer but it’s important to ask these things.

    I think that's a reasonable request.

    That would be a good question to guage board/manager opinion on.

    Wonder if they will mention marothon bet? With the huts being shut, never heard much from them since simon murray left, donations to charity for goals scored etc. Have they pulled the plug?.

    Maybe they've just shat it now we've got a striker we expect to score regularly long-term

    Neil Lennon might ask that very question himself!
    He did remark recently about the ridiculousness of it all leading up to the last of many International breaks.

    What’s happened with them? Right enough, they have went from being proactive and visible sponsors to not hearing anything from them or having any sort of presence at all.

    I don’t think Tom Zanelli works for them anymore who was a big part of the link between the clubs so wonder if that’s something to do with it.

    I never received an invite or copy of the annual report. E mailed the club and asked last week, no response.

    Will I get in if I just turn up?

    Slightly disappointed with tbh.

    Same for me! Usually get a set of annual accounts through the letterbox. Also first I have heard of a scheduled AGM.

    I’d have thought, so if you have ID on you
    Your name will be on a roll at the reception

    Surprised at the number of people who haven't received a copy of the accounts/AGM invite. Did you get them okay last year?

    Don't worry - I'll eat your pie.

    When does their shirt deal expire?
    Performances and the attractive football being played should mean no bother getting a decent value for the next deal, whoever that might be with.
