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.
