Online Fans Survey

[Iain G]

Well I started it and then got properly fed up about halfway through! Some odd questions and phrasing and options to answer!

Very odd one about how I would feel about watching Hibs from a different home stadium 🙄

Yeah thought that was a strange question.

That started a few alarm bells ringing. Also how do you travel to the stadium? Car, train, bike, walk or supporters coach. How about a cooncil bus?

This is the strangest fan survey I've ever started to fill in, stopped when it asked about sexual orientation 🙄

Just had a small look at the survey - there is no compulsion to answer all the questions.

Just ignore any you do not want to answer and carry on.

Aeroplane for me but no option for that 🤣

It was definitely muted at a seminar/fans forum, what people's thoughts were on moving from ER, and it now appears in a survey by Edinburgh University.

Something not right, this has obviously been discussed internally

Bring yersels out to Livi. It's grand here , we could do with a decent stadium. The survey even asked how attached we were to edinburgh!

Lovely offer

Just filled it in, skipped any personal information I didn’t want to share. I think it’s worth doing.

I’ve just done it again after skipping the personal information
If the club had said this on the email, would have made me do it earlier

Hibs women already play at Livi…

Seriously though they ain’t installing new screens then moving the club !

It’s not like we are Hearts and have small pitch - less than 20,000 stadium and no chance of expanding stadium unless they spend millions and millions plus don’t forget to order seats (they still haven’t installed the escalator yet = main stand still not finished).

That was the question that sprung out to me - watching Hibs elsewhere than ER. Told the survey where it can put that idea

That's potentially quite worrying.

Agreed. It started alarm bells ringing for me as well. For anyone reading this from the club, don't even think about it.

If it's not at Easter Road, it's not Hibs. And if it's not Hibs, I'm not interested.

Its a strange one right enough.

I'm 100% against it but from the boards POV I can see their point in potentially looking into it. The North and South Stands aren't far off from 30 years old and both could do with a full refurb inside and out. The West is over 20 years old and needs an internal refit with the East is fine even as basic as it is. The sums don't really add up I don't think so i'm not overly concerned. Even if you got what was assuming top dollar of £50m for ER (I guess it wouldn't be as much as that), there is little to no brownfield sites in Edinburgh that we could afford to buy then to build a stadium on so it would be outside Edinburgh and surely the board aren't daft enough to move outside the city and potentially alienate half the fanbase.

I could just about accept moving but within Leith. Outside of Leith would probably be a no-no. Outside of Edinburgh and i'd 100% give it up.

Not many sites in Leith available if you want to move..Leith Academy pitches across the road but can’t see that happening or Newhaven near the docks but rising sea levels etc couldn’t see that.

Would be cheaper knocking down ER and rebuilding on the current land probably.

I don’t use hospitality but I heard there were plans to move offices from West stand to grow hospitality.

The FF bar etc is the area needing sorted - again not sure latest but a fans bar / cafe / community cafe and safe standing would be the dream.

Not really I wouldn't have thought. Thought there were too many similar questions.

I’m glad I was not the only one.

First the good - I’m glad that Hibs are reaching out to support on the channels to run a survey. We need to learn more about the nature of our support so this effort on some levels is to be applauded.


that said some (pretty basic) flaws/ mistooks.

it’s too long.

Phrasing is confusing on some questions which could lead to potentially misleading conclusions.

Some key terms were not explained - membership scheme, fanzone, community hub iirc that’s pretty basic mistake that should have been picked up with a review / dry run ok a pilot basis.

there’s not a box to feedback on the survey itself so the authors will be in blissful ignorance of above

If you pay particular attention the questioning around belonging to Edinburgh on one hand and ER on there (and not Leith) and the mention of other stadium is an odd one.
