That is a weird one, I stopped eating it because it says on their website not suitable for someone with a milk allergy. But looking at the ingredients list there is no milk/dairy in it. Possibly down to the risk of cross contamination within their factory. A bit like Bisto, it is essentially a vegan product (no animal products used) but it is made in a factory that deals with a lot of meat and therefore cannot be certified vegan. I would love it if we could get a vegan pie but I have had so many disappointments when it comes to vegan them, maybe the Ginster Vegan pasties would be a good idea, they are delicious. Got a vegan pie at Killie once and it was pretty gross, undercooked and tasteless.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

It would have been perfect time to install standing behind the FF goal. Would even help with social distancing etc and be a way Hibs could use the extra time to reallocate any fans who were affected / put the kids section in West Lower or South Lower for Cat B games.
Some seats in FF lower are worn and need replaced so why waste money doing that when an exciting new part of the ground can be open when fans return.

It should feel like a day out, we should be encouraging people to arrive early and have a drink (obviously alcohol ban hampers this) and make the whole experience something families can enjoy. Plant based diets are more and more common so should be accommodated.
Likewise having screens in the foyers and a big screen pitch side showing some of the YouTube content rather than just a playlist of old tunes over a rickety tannoy would add to the overall feel. That's fine for hardened fans but you don't want the next generations to feel like going to the game is a chore.

Evening all,
I’ve posted an update for March here - https://tinyurl.com/3k7x723m
As always, I’ll lift and drop the text into this forum too - pictures will be available in the link.
Past updates for 2020 and 2021 can be found here https://kieranpower858.wixsite.com/kpupdate-1/

A whole year without going to the football or Easter Road. Quite simply, that’s crap. However, it is looking very positive for next season - especially if we all keep doing the right things and the vaccine programme continues to go well - noises from the scottish government are positive.
Always available if you need me for anything kpower@hibernianfc.co.uk
Murray Milligen's picture earlier in the month captured Easter Road in all it's beauty. I'm more than hopeful the stadium will be glowing more than we know it on our return -
This month has passed in a bit of blur. Hibs have now won more away games this season (10) than they did in the entirety of last season both home and away. The club have never won eleven top flight away games in one season. Two away fixtures left to do it. I'm greedy. I want them both, especially our next away league fixture. No reason why we canny'.
Notice was received recently that the club AGM is being held next Wednesday, 7th April, at 3pm. Our annual accounts were also released. The club is in a good position to come out of the other end of COVID from a combination of quick action and tremendous backing from supporters through season ticket sales.
That backing won't be forgotten about.
Jack Ross commented after our win in Ross County - "We know supports have committed to the club this year with no reward in terms of being in the stadium. So, for us, there's a drive to get the club into Europe. That hopefully coincides with getting people back in."
Taken from the letter to shareholders - “Your Board and I would like to thank all those who supported the Club during the 19/20 season, especially in view of the challenges imposed on the Club and football in general by the Covid-19 pandemic. We are particularly grateful to our season ticket holders, the players and coaching staff, and the entire team at Hibernian FC for their tireless work behind the scenes to help the Club navigate the public health and financial challenges of the ongoing pandemic. Gratefully, the vaccine programme combined with the restrictions of recent months are bringing the pandemic under control, and the outlook for football in 2021 is starting to look brighter. We believe that in the foreseeable future we will be able to welcome you back to Easter Road. That will be a very special and wonderful day for us all.”
Squad has eyes on the prize for finishing the season as strong as possible. Genuine belief they can seal 3rd and go the next step in the Scottish Cup after three semi final appearances in the last three cup competitions (new Scottish Cup dates can be found here).
______________________________
I’ve been working with the club on a number points recently - providing direct feedback from supporters. The club has been fantastic considering all verbatim sent on.
Improvements to Hibs TV - short term and long term.
Recognising Supporter loyalty in 2020 and 2021 - the backing Hibs fans have shown the last 12 months has been extraordinary and it's recognising that for next seasons offering and beyond (Season Tickets should be released in April, especially now we have a stronger understanding of where we're going as a country from late summer onwards).
Club Content - The club has worked with a hand behind it's back for some time because of the COVID landscape (restrictions and resources available). We're now coming out the other end of this and will start to see a ramp up in this space. Recent recruitment completed and more happening.

The foundation has some really exciting initiatives coming up. They respond to the needs of the communities they serve and really do us and the Hibs badge proud.
Restrictions are now easing and their community football programme is coming back. The Foundation recently thanked everyone that contributed their time and stories to the Academy - lots of inspirational stories from Hibs people. Excellent collaboration between club and foundation.

Both Colin and Kenny Millar announced in March they would be leaving Hibernian and moving on to new exciting challenges. I wish them both the very best - both extremely vital support points for me in the last two years and dedicated to helping Hibs supporters - they'll be glad to be back in the stands amongst us.

KP thanks for a a great job?
Any idea when elections for fans directors are due to take place? Think you were elected in March 2019, so we’re behind
Also after Tracey left, we’ve only got one place on the board now, rather than 2 before. Are we going back to 2 places

End of season/Summer allows a better opportunity for change. A supporter voice/representation is important and noted strongly in the clubs governance model. Will we move back to 2 elected - I don’t think so.

At this time of year in the football world important issues such as becoming champions, winning trophies, qualifying for Europe and relegation/expulsion are all focused on.
The outstanding support from the Hibs fans has allowed the club to be competitive from the word go in 2020/21 (thank you) - The team haven’t been out of the top 4 in the league all season. I can’t think of a better way to thank the supporters (and close off the most surreal periods in most of our lives) than by bringing the oldest trophy in world football back home to Leith. Embrace the stress of the run in and thrive under pressure to do the job. Time for new heroes.

March was fairly light. So it is only right to balance that out with an action packed April - AGM, Some great performances, Season Ticket release and more.
_____
AGM
The club thanked the supporters who stepped up in one of most challenging years most can remember. There was also thanks to the staff at Easter Road, the football department and HSL & many supporters who contributed financially to the club.
There was time to look back at the sporting performance of reaching the latter stages of cups, revamping the squad with a younger, smaller and balanced feel. Looking back towards the business performance - 11,000 season tickets, reduced the operating costs, launched a new website, commercial growth, New PA system and new initiatives: Greenest club in Scotland and Thank You NHS.
Looking forward - European Football, Continue to invest & improve the first team, Reinvest & improve the Development Squad and appoint a new CEO. Building on the new PA system already completed there was talk of further investments off the park - new screens, updating the tired stadium, hospitality improvements and focus on the pitch straight after the last home game of the season. Social Media platforms will be upgraded, more creative ticketing products and launch of Hibs membership programme
Final note to all was everyone is indispensable and necessary to our success. Building on our Season Ticket numbers to help continue our momentum is key.
_____
Season Tickets
Last week the club launched season tickets for 2021/22, confident we'll have a football resembling close to normal as can be.
The club has released all options at the start to be as flexible as possible and for those who renew the club will be offering a number of additional benefits as a thank you for the support over the current season and last year.

______________________________
I would like to update you on what I’ve brought to the board’s attention on behalf of supporters.
Supporter Loyalty Recognition.
It is key we keep our supporters backing front of mind, finding ways to reward our fans for the fantastic backing.
KP - Great to see the club acknowledge this on the website via the season ticket release - "The Club actively looks at additional ways to recognise the loyalty of supporters and will continue to do what we can to provide value for supporters"

Scottish Cup
Saturday 8th May at 4pm. Hampden Park. Live on Premier Sports TV.
______________________________
Return to Stadia
May and June is going to give us a great indication of where we might start from come August (crazy to say there is no certainty with something that is only just over 3 months away).
Currently Scottish Government protection level advice states:
- Outdoor seated and open space events are advised to operate with a maximum capacity of 2,000 people.
- Outdoor grouped standing events are advised to operate with a maximum capacity of 1,000 people.
- Seated indoor events are advised to operate with a maximum of 400 people.
At the minute the club is to work towards plans of 2m social distancing. The club is confident it can get more than 2,000 into Easter Road safely and following guidance.
The process (at the time of writing/moment) is if we want more than 2,000, we need to apply to the local authority, and if we want more than 5,000, that goes to Scottish Government for approval.
I expect a lot to change between now and August/September/October but that's where we're currently at.Last edited by Power; 30-04-2021 at 06:40 AM.

I found myself at the stadium recently to help with a sponsor opportunity and in the company of two very young Hibs fans. Hit home how big the impact of returning to Easter Road will be not only for us but our younger ones, some maybe seeing it for the first time. What a feeling that is going to be.
