I think maybe some folk need to dial down the paranoia levels a little.
It's not trying to harvest your data, this isn't facebook. It specifically states your data will not be transferred. If it is then they're in a world of hurt under current legislation. But if you are concerned you can just not answer this questions.
I've worked with Edinburgh Uni before on survey type projects and this is pretty standard. The initial questions are just generic ones used to build a population profile - this can be used for all sorts of analysis around marketing and pricing structures - for example it'll be very useful when trying to sell the club to potential corporate partners.
The 'White British' thing is the same, it's just a generic question and answer picked from a list, not everything has to be about politics/independence.
If you're suspicious about the motives around asking particular questions - eg are you really attached to Easter Road - then answer them and make sure the club knows how you'd feel about it.
I can understand why it's being asked. Parts of the ground are 30+ years old and will need significant money put into them in the next 10 years. The club would be negligent not to be investigating options.
Personally I fed back that connection to Edinburgh, Easter Road and the surrounding community is, for me, the most important aspect of being a Hibby. Even more important (much more) than footballing success. That the club should be prioritising engaging with and embedding itself into the community and using its influence and power to make a difference in people's lives. We should be promoting the women's team/game and community initiatives to bring more into the club.
If we move from Easter Road we're not Hibs anymore and I'm out as a fan - but the club don't know that unless we tell them. Some folk might be happy to move if it brought money and sporting success. A businessman would do it without thinking if no one is telling them otherwise.
As someone who can't get to as many games as I'd like I'm interested in membership options. I don't care about pie prices or standing, I do care about stewarding and matchday experience. I would like us not to take money from gambling companies and I'm not interested in watching games on tv. I'm not sure what the transport questions were about but I'm always happy to take a dig at the sorry state of public transport in Scotland.
That's how I feel, if you disagree, fill out the survey and tell them.

Also found the matchday pricing question a bit odd as it said current pricing ranges from £24-28 when that's only referring to category C pricing.

As an overseas fan who cannot attend games, but still supports the club in many ways, I felt excluded.
Be nice if the club included us in such things.Last edited by Forza Fred; 23-01-2022 at 07:36 AM.

It was sooo long I forgot whether the survey mentions it’s purpose.
imagine the university worked to the brief but (assuming as a sports academy they’d have wider experience to draw on and advise the client on potential for exclusion) I wonder if there was a pilot and if the pilot included a reasonable cross section of who were trying to reach ?

It was strange how much it was asking how much Edinburgh means. For Hibs fans not from Edinburgh, and there is a lot, probably not much.

Now that I'm actually thinking about it, I feel really connected to Easter Road and the immediate area around the stadium. I am proud that we are 'from the capital' my capital even if I'm not from there.
Personally I would strongly resist any notion of a move away from Easter Road but should it ever arise I wouldn't be 'out' I am and will always be a Hibby.
Our North and South stands are nearly 30 years old and now require regular costly maintenance. There are countless stands and stadiums up and down the UK built in the same era in the wake of the Taylor Report that are in the same boat as us. Many rebuilds and even some relocations will happen in 10 to 20 years time.
If money was no object then I would rebuild the FF and South stands. Single tier, slightly wider and closer to the pitch, this would really enclose the ground and raise capacity by a few hundred. Use the North West corner to build new function space, museum, fans hub, TV studios or whatever. It's a massive space and could have numerous uses.
If that means spending a season at Tynie or wherever then I can live with that but we have to stay at ER in my opinion.Last edited by Renfrew_Hibby; 23-01-2022 at 08:40 AM.

The questionnaire is long but there was nothing in it that had me jumping to the conclusions some have. We all want Hibs to remain at ER and we want an attractive football in a nice stadium at reasonable prices. This survey is trying to gage fans thoughts on how best we achieve this.

I put a suggestion in to move nearer to my house in Glasgow but I can't imagine they'll be doing that any time soon.

They also need to stop referring to the match programme as this is particularly annoying to me...

Wish if I’d put this on my survey reply
Hibs seem to be changing the email addresses they communicate with. Todays went into my junk box, as it was another new one. Surely it would be simpler for supporters, with one email address as communication from the club

The club has controls in place to cleanse the data - there’s a few unique identifiers when providing the data responses.
I’m sure the rogue responses will be spotted a mile away ✅

Apologies if missed it elsewhere, or maybe in survey but I have forgotten - but wondering if findings will be shared (even if only at a high level) with support?

In the Evening News online that there are no plans to move from Easter Road.
Hopefully that can be put to bed now.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

I would chain myself to the proverbial gates to keep Hibs at Easter Road.
