Global pandemic
Threat of no football for months
Strenuous efforts made to accommodate fans
Some fans want £1.50 refund though?

However, if there is any chance that fans will need to be moved into lower priced sections (and I suspect Hibs will know whether or not that is likely to be required) then they should not have sold season tickets at different pricing levels. IMO they should have all been sold at the same tier.Last edited by Since90+2; 04-07-2020 at 10:44 AM.

I reckon closed doors August & September and full stadiums by late October - face masks compulsory.
Things seem to be getting back to some sort of normal a bit quicker than maybe was first thought so I`m more hopeful of getting back inside Easter Road this side of New Year than I was a number of weeks ago.

I think people are aware they might not be in their specific seat , and if the fans know this Hibs certainty will , so therefore season tickets shouldn't have been sold at different levels.
As has been pointed out you could have a situation where someone who has paid for a gold seat is placed in a silver area and someone who has paid for a silver is in a gold. That's not right IMO and could easily been avoided if season tickets had been left as a blanket price.Last edited by Since90+2; 04-07-2020 at 11:29 AM.

We might not even be in the stadium we bought the season ticket for, never mind the exact seat. I have a gold seat but so long as I get in to see the game I’ll be delighted.

Times flies, it seems like yesterday I was at the Peterborough train station on the friday before the St Johnstone game to find out it was called off so I got the bus back home.
Murryfield still an option? I understand it's going to be hard to control big crowds but I would like to see fans back at least September.
How many of the season ticket holders are going to want to go to games so early also is another question.

I think the poster meant that the pricing levels were set by the club some time before the tickets went on sale which is kinda logical.

I know people are just chewing the fat over what may or not happen but it highlights how nuts this period is. We’ve gone from debates about Football not being played in front of fans all season, debates about Football not starting as it’s impossible to ask footballers to put themselves at risk from not social distancing on the pitch/training and now I’m reading debates about going back to watch games but maybe not getting to sit in the correct category of seat.
How quickly social perception of the period can change. Would maybe make for an interesting survey. IF ER remains closed all season and we can only watch on Hibs TV will people accept that for the price of a ST. (Not ask for a refund). IF ER reopens for a % of lucky fans (maybe picked by lottery), will those not lucky to get in still accept watching on Hibs TV (not ask for refund). IF you are lucky enough to get into ER but end up in a bronze seat when you paid for a gold seat, are you still happy to be one of the lucky ones (not ask for a refund)..
Despite seeing more freedom my opinion is that we are a Long way from life getting back to normal. Big crowds at Football stadiums or concerts or the like are going to be some of the last things we experience in a normal way.
Australia generally had very little COVID vs European countries and yet parts of Melbourne are going back into full lockdown, same in Spain. The Americas are going through a very tough period now despite their lockdowns mostly being lifted.
The UK are about to allow people to start traveling again, that surely can’t end well.
For me, I’ve zero expectations on watching Hibs in person this coming season and mentally that’s probably the best place to be as I can’t be disappointed. Never mind worrying about what seat I may get. Stay safe fellow Hibees both physically and mentally.

Don’t forget the Old Firm...
We could use Murrayfield but when the Old Firm have a large number of ST holders where does that leave them?
Also surely the league :/ government will say all teams can have fans or all teams have no fans.
Add in the expense at Murrayfield for stewards etc - I can see it being ER as normal or nothing with facemasks and 1 way system for toilets etc.

Actually, it wouldn't. Having people sitting in groups wouldn't increase the potential number inside the stadium, unless the groups themselves are absolutely massive.
I'm a bit p1ssed just now but I'll post an explanation of the logic behind that tomorrow, when I've sobered up
Maybe somebody a bit more sober can explain it to you in the meantime...

But if I don’t get to see them in person for the coming season ,then my pragmatic view is The Club needed financial support in unprecedented times , I stepped up to the Plate and have no qualms about doing that
I am lucky I can afford to do that so I wouldn’t be looking for money back

A third of fans are less likely to attend Scottish football matches next season, according to a Scottish Football Supporters Association survey.
More that 1,500 people, 90% of whom regularly attend games, took part.
SFSA chairman Andy Smith says the prospect of a "post Covid recession" and fear of getting coronavirus are among the issues concerning fans.
"The scary thing is that up to 34% would either be going less than half as often or not at all," he said

There isn't an on/off switch regarding this pandemic. Its a long long road back for live cultural events involving spectators which will recover on a slow incremental basis starting from a hugely restricted base.Last edited by The Baldmans Comb; 05-07-2020 at 06:44 AM.

We could have this virtually eliminated by August/September and at that point the main threat is “imported” cases. We could largely lead normal lives if this is managed well and the track and trace model is effective.

I don't imagine Hibs will refund/charge people for moving them between zones. If they do need to implement social distancing when we're back and they have to move people then the expectation will be for fans just to get on with it. Doubt there would be more than a handful of fans that kick up a fuss over the move for a couple of games, especially given the circumstances.Mon the Hibs.

But with reference to the post I quoted, if we have full stadiums in October, society won’t have gone mad. We’ll simply be following carefully considered government guidance. Repeated lockdowns doesn’t have to be the reality in Scotland.
