Brilliant to see some standing places for U16's aswell. Good on them and the Killie Trust.

And yet seemingly the board and a large percentage of fans don't want Hibs to install safe standing because it all needs to go on the playing budget, which dwarfs Kilmarnock but saw us finish two places and thirteen points behind them.

Well done Killie for allowing this fan led initiative. Over to Dempster and Petrie to facilitate something similar at Easter Road if the demand is there.

They had rail seats in Molde. I thought they were quite unsafe.....largely because we were pished and standing on them !

Maybe not necessarily seats, but other additions to the stadium perhaps.

If you want to stand, just stand - I am not bothered, please just crack on.
However, dont tell the club to remove the family area as the result of that will be people moaning about that...................

I’ve no doubt it has been discussed before and I do know it has been marked up during the exploration of the ‘improve the atmosphere’ conversations played out since I’ve been around.
Looking on a ‘can do’ attitude it can certainly be done - just where and at what cost. Where does this spend fall between everything else needing done (?). I can keep this on my radar.
Important to note that this is self-funded (40k) by Killie fans (trust) and only 2% of the capacity. I like their progressive attitude.

This looks like it is costing roughly £125 per seat. I would certainly pay an extra 125 on top of my season ticket for one season (or maybe it could be split over 2 or 3) to get a safe standing seat and perhaps others would also. If there was enough interest id love to see it happen at hibs.
Location is of course a big issue as demonstrated on here but i just dont believe that there are absolutely no options. The stadium has to evolve with the times and hibs will eventually have to annoy some people by moving in the near future in order to do so.

I think the 'pay an extra £50 a season for 3 years' option is the best?

Assuming hibs wont look at a non fan funded section being installed, it would be interesting to know how many others would pay a bit extra to have an initial section formed.
How that then is further developed would depend on the success of it. I suppose if it didnt work out well then hibs would be stuck with them but i think the seats can be locked and function similar to the current ones.
Lots of people have noted they would like to see a safe standing section installed. If hibs were to do this using their own funding, how would it be decided who gets a season ticket within it?

I think it's safe to say the bottom of the Famous 5 isn't an option for this.
In light of that, I'd like to see the bottom section of the East (the 4-5 rows down towards the pitch below entry level) put forward as a viable area to trial Rail Seating. No idea of how many seats would be in that section from top to bottom but I'd imagine 500+ ?

Official HSL have definitely told us on here that it's the football department the cash goes to.

Pretty sure the East stand can’t have safe standing as it’s too steep.Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.
