We buy our three season tickets every year, because we support our team through the good and bad times!
It's what supporters do ?

That's me as well

Guy next door to me and his laddie have always been Hibs season ticket holders. 2 green cars in the driveway, goes home and away, Hibs gnome in the garden, the lot. His wife said to me him and his son will not be renewing. I was gutted when she told me. Deeply disappointing.

Why were you gutted? Surely you were happy that other people feel the same way as you.

Same here, but with everyone there's a tipping point that switches a ST holder away from renewing. Over the last 20+ that I've had mine, I've seen some really grim times, but I always return. I would not criticise any 'supporter' from not renewing.

I do that well but you can hardly blame anyone for finding better ways to make use of their money, particularly these days.

Following Hibs isn’t terribly exciting just now.

I renewed after relegation to the championship when we had 7 or so contracted players.

Renewed after near relegation and a thrashing from Hearts in a final.

I disagree with the leadership at Hibs right now but I'm a supporter and will continue to do my bit to back SDG and the team.

Do you think a Season Ticket is value for money ?

I can fully understand why customers / supports / part time fans / die hard fans don’t trust / want to give the club money when they hardly get anything back for all the money they spend.

There are a large amount of fans that can’t justify the cost at the best of times let alone when the club is being run like a circus.

I think a ST is value for money. I go to all the home games and it works for me. You might not agree that it is worth the money and will not buy one and that is your choice. I should add that when I go to watch Hibs the last thing I worry about is what is going on at board level

They phoned my Mum last week to ask why my Dad hadn’t renewed his season ticket. My Dad died in March this year and they knew he had passed as I got him mentioned in the end of season tribute. Not a great call for my Mum to take

Feel for you and your mum as I lost my dad last August. Don't think I'd be expecting the end of season tribute to tie up with season ticket names to be fair though. We're not getting much right at the moment but I think this is just one of these calls that we get unfortunately.

Haven’t had a season ticket for last 3 years due to my son playing Saturday football. That’s finished now and my mate and I were considering buying a season ticket again. We’ve both now decided to hang fire for now.

Totally agree. This thread is really depressing but I can totally understand people not renewing for family and financial reasons, but I could never not renew if I had the time and the means to do so, no matter how pish we are in the park or what circus is going on off it. There was two or three times last year I chose an overtime shift or just didny bother as I was that peeved but I don’t think I’ll ever no be able to renew and commit for the full season. You don’t support Hibs because we win all the time anyway

I appreciate your thoughts, and those who share the same.

I know for a fact that you personally are up in arms about the state of the club at the minute (nothing personal, merely an observation) so I ask you how else do you send a message to the current board that it is not good enough?

They seem to believe that they are the golden quadrant, but when both the product on the pitch is returning lower financial gains through winnings and the feet over the door is lower (resulting in lower financial returns) then I can’t see them ignoring that.

It apparently is the only thing they listen to, money.

You do expect every effort to be made to win though and I’m not sure that’s the case just now. I think decisions are being made that are not in the club’s interest.

Aye,I do as a matter of fact!

I've not criticised anyone for not renewing, as you say there's lots of reasons why people can't justify buying them at the moment and thats their prerogative.

Totally appreciate your point but I don’t have the answer to that unfortunately mate. They will no doubt continue to ignore the dwindling attendances and rapidly falling season ticket numbers though, as evidenced last season. I’ve no issue with folk not going to make a point to them btw, I just don’t think they’ll take any note of it as they haven’t so far

That's very good for Kilmarnock

Even better when you consider no one wants to watch a McInnes team apparently.

They have sacked managers based on discontent and dwindling attendances several times now.

Blind ignorance and pure stupidity on my part, probably, but I don't think it's bottom line only that influences decision making at Hibs. I think we've a lot of inexperience regarding hibs, Scottish football and football in general at senior level and the structure put in place isn't working with the effects of MM's appointment yet to be seen , really.

I'd write hibs with any concerns but continue to attend and financially back the club. It might be niave on my part and maybe you're right that money talks but in my eyes withdrawing my financial support, even though it's a tiny part of the hibs gap, doesn't seem the right move.

[Pretty Boy]

Fwiw I buy my ST every year and have done for as long as I can remember.

I went 8 seasons without missing a single game home or away not so long ago. I basically didn't miss Hibs games (splitting up with a girlfriend because I missed her sisters wedding to go to Rugby Park was a particular highlight/lowlight depending on your point of view) and I certainly wouldn't have missed a home game.

In recent years I've been far more willing to take up other offers on a Saturday. That's not all down to Hibs of course. Having kids changes your perspective on these things and tbh I just don't really like football all that much anymore. If it wasn't for my emotional attachment to Hibs and the nagging feeling I'd be letting them and myself down if I didn't renew then I wouldn't bother. I think I missed about 5 home games last season and I won't be at ER either tomorrow night or on Saturday as I have better offers.

The club have my money and will continue to get it so they won't care. I won't decry anyone who has had enough now though. Football is an expensive hobby and even moreso when the quality is as bad as it has been in recent times.

[SunshineOn1875]

Genuinely wasn't opening the thread for a bash at hibs, just they normally confirm how many we've sold a few weeks before but hadn't heard anything. Have purchased mine, as others have said I'll support them whether we are top of the league or bottom.

[flash]

Would be pointless me not getting one as I spend all afternoon stressing if I am not at the game and watching on the telly is far worse than actually being there.

I kind of feel there are a range of supporters out there. Between the guy who supports Hibs but doesn't go to the staunch ones who rock up no matter what. I'm in the middle these days. This guy and his son are right up there as staunch Hibbies. I was shocked they did not renew.

[Dashing Bob S]

If we are delivering the goods or look likely to then people will buy ST’s. If we aren’t (and we aren’t) or people have confidence they are going to, then people will buy ST’s. One of the indicators is that we have decent new signings in key areas.

ST’s won’t improve until the squad is strengthened. We’ve been dining out on 2016-20 for long enough.

Give it a break. I have praised Hibs in the past, albeit not much in the last few years. You can chose to respond to my posts or not, but it's annoying to get this type of jibe. I'll keep my 1980s share certificate, old programmes, handful of grass from Hampden 2016 until I pass away.
