There are 2 points there: I have personally witnessed many an impatient driver who thinks the road is their’s immediately after full time with thousands walking down the road. They drive right up peoples *****, toot the horn and slam on brakes. Secondly, whether we like it or not, terrorism is an issue and although it’s not hit Scotland badly yet, we need to minimise the potential for this type of incident.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

30 minutes before and 30 minutes after a game the roads immediately surrounding the stadium should be closed entirely. If it inconveniences some road users then tough. Paths are nowhere near wide enough for pod queues, turnstile queues and people walking around the stadium while adding traffic into the mix.

I have managed to exit St Clair Street and drive onto Easter Road and get away from the area following the conclusion of each home match, since I started driving over 7 years ago, without ever coming close to hitting anyone.
There's some weeks I do wait about 5 minutes when it's exceptionally busy but there's no reason for me to wait 30 minutes. The place is usually totally deserted within about 15 minutes.

Thought I’d drop in with a quick update here. Unfortunately the scoreboard doesn’t allow for this. Great suggestion though.

Also can it go past 90 mins ?
I’m sure I’ve seen the players names flash up on the scoreboard or am I imagining it ?!!
Long term alongside a PA system that can actually be made out in the back of the East Stand - Hibs should be getting a new scoreboard at each end (Famous Five Stand also) with the capacity to do more. I know both cost £ but find a sponsor and will help the match day experience.
That scoreboard has done pretty well considering it’s quite old.

The safest option would be maybe just to cone off a lane for cars only or simply car ban before and after.
It's just drivers being impatient and like the side doors at the stadium folk seem to think they have priority when really they don't.

Morning all,
August quickfire update - what has been happening since my last update at the end of July.
It's been hard to summarise how we're all feeling at the minute as it is definitely a wide range of varying opinions over the Hibs landscape. At one end not happy & disappointed and others calm & persevering. Keep doing what you do and back the team and club. I will continue to navigate around everywhere to pick things up. The club reads these forums so will know where we're placed.
I recently asked about matchday experience. I wanted to ask the question about your ideal Hibs experience direct here and elsewhere to get some insight from a small band of supporters, as with any question/survey it is a moment in time and might not a true reflection of the overall support but I found it a useful exercise nonetheless. The football team will always come first in the clubs thoughts but we're important too and these are next in line. I'm more than confident about some of these areas being improved (certainly before I exit the building! Feel free to haud me tae that).
Hibs Kids details are out to members and the first game is on the 26th October against Ross County - www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10248
When Elliot met Scott was brilliant
www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10188
I particularly enjoyed this yin www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10249
I attended the board meeting this week up at HTC. Points flagged to the board by myself and Tracey (and as always, not on behalf of all supporters but a fair proportion).
- Ticketing and Stadium Access – It has previously been flagged that the landing of the new ticketing partnership and system access hasn’t been smooth. The issues are still there and show no signs of improvement – this is now unacceptable after five home games and provides fans with the wrong experience before entering the ground.
Our next home game is Gunts on Sunday 22nd of September - we have no chance to replicate a sell out crowd in time with all turnstiles (however we do have the Scotland Women game at ER before then). Club will need ALL turnstiles open - recommendation is to have manually hand scanners available in all instead of relying on a system that hasn't/isn’t stable.
KP -The club fully agree with the above and I've seen some of difficult conversations played out to get this fixed. The club are working hard with the supplier to have this fixed but most important is access in that next home fixture.
- Supporter feedback - Supporters are unsettled at the moment. Sizeable number of fans are unhappy with lack of communication from behind the scenes and the performances of the team. On the other side, Fair number are backing the club & team to keep persevering and come good.
KP - I'm sure we'll hear more from the club shortly on what has and is going on but ultimately it's still all focus on getting the team firing on the pitch and playing to their potential.
As always, Hibs fans are barry, Since 1875 caught my attention this week - they're making another funding and physical help push to continue the great work they do for us on atmosphere. I'm honestly really inspired by their energy.
I’ve made a donation of £20 to them today and I'm really looking forward to their next display, coming soon!
This is what it feels like to be Hibs.
As always, gies a shout if something needs flagged and of course any time I can help – Hibs related or not.

Cheers KP. Were you able to get clarification on the rumours that walk ups can expect to pay £27 for games not including Hearts, Rangers or Celtic this season?

First I have heard the club are thinking of charging £27. Would doubt the club would cut their own throat by doing that.

We've had 2 home games where we haven't charged that. So the answer is no.
When was the last time we put prices up part way through a season? or by 20%?

Maybe they are one of the non Hearts/OF teams that will be bumped up in price

The question has been prompted by the fact I was told this by someone and I am seeking clarification from our excellent fans rep.

Cheers for the update KP hope we here sooner rather later mate a lot of the stuff flying around could be put to bed by LD or RG

Thanks for the update KP.
Can I ask if you’ve heard what’s happening with the free season ticket competition, think it was meant to be announced on Monday who had won it?
There was a thread on here last night but can’t find it just now.

Probably better if you stump up what you have actually heard first, then our excellent fans' rep will have something concrete to look into!
