Take out the bookies under the east and FF stands, put beer bottle bars inside the bookies.
Only sell beer in plastic bottles.
Two stewards at each entranceway to the seating areas to ensure no beer taken to seating areas.
Only drawback is no seating for drinking areas.
Would it work? Would we need a different kind of licence to sell the beer?I don't know but surely worth checking and trying

If the NHS were making use of the premises from day 1 then nothing would have been said but now it seems to be the case that a facility for Hibs fans in Hibernian's stadium is being taken away from them. Not good enough, no matter how it's dressed up.

I've not been to the new East Stand....Assume it's just a basic concourse area with pie kiosks and bookies? Could something be done there?

BTG is too good a space to only be used maybe once a week for 9 months a year. Commercially, it doesn't work, and commercialism is the world we live in - embrace it coz it ain't going away.
What I would like to see is the whole area behind East, and there is enough space, to have beer and food stations, under cover (tents, etc) where guys and gals can have a drink.
It won't have tables and chandeliers, but let's face it, that only caters for a small amount of expectations.
A bunch of guy(ette)s just want a beer, a pie and a chat before game, seconds away from their seat. They don't care that Tom Farmer wanted the beat environment possible.
Whether the SFA will alow this, is another matter, but it is common down south.

The way it has been run you would almost think that it was club policy to discourage people using it. Maybe that was plan; less and less people using it justifies us closing it down! Or am I being a bit cynical?

This is a bizarre move. It's purpose first and foremost should be a football stadium and providing facilities for match days. It's been a good meeting point and social place for 15 years. Fans consulted?? Perhaps but not
Listened too

It's probably in response to the smoke bomb epidemic.
At least we will have a permanent area to treat everyone affected by the toxic green fumes.

Like many I used to go regularly but it became such a poor experience compared to Robbies, Windsor etc. Not going to miss ot and neither is the club by the sounds of it.

BTG apart from anything else was the one place at ER where every day fans who didn't have the money to spend on hospitality packages and the like could still feel connected to the club as users of the stadiums facilities in and around the actual match itself.
What's becoming possibly more annoying than this situation is folk tipping winks suggesting they know stuff that everybody else doesn't .... if folk know something then tell us, if they don't then the should stop giving the impression they do, because its bloody annoying.
I'm not so much talking about you here by the way .... if there's one thing that's become apparent in this whole carry on which includes the lift to the upper FF its that certain folk seem to be getting told stuff that the wider support aren't, especially in the working together group .... a group which in the whole core of its being is supposed to include ordinary fans because they will represent our point of view ... considering the number of fans who seem annoyed at this current situation what did these ordinary fans have to say to the club when binning BTG was raised? And more to the point why are the club 'reviewing' a supporters bar ... they must know what their intentions are by now ... just tell us.
Sorry, that became a bit of a rant ... I'm not suggesting you know the answers

One thing that annoyed me about BTG was the table huggers who thought it was fair game to get there early and reserve two tables and about eight seats on their own!

They're doing a good job of getting rid of customers anyway this season with not letting people in after 2

I take my son to the Hibs club. My dad took me to the Hibs club.
Also, behind the goals has only been open for around ten years (fairly certain it's less), so you absolutely have not taken your son since he was a wee boy.

Another decision made at the club without any input from the fans. Anyone fancy telling me the point of fan reps again?

I don't expect the fans to be asked about things like this.
What I do expect is further developments to take place utilising the corner at FF and the East stand .
I think it's a wait and see till the club are ready to announce in LD we trust eh Leanne

From trading all the comments mostly supporting the need for a facility that allows fans to gather for a couple of beers before a game , where kids can go, along with the other comments suggesting other options , must mean that the Club board need to do a viability study in this subject. LD has spoken many times about the matchday experience being important, here is one aspect. Edinburgh City have a membership scheme for the old Loch inn ..maybe if they built a 2,storey facility with a member's only 2 nd floor and open bar on the ground, you differentiate between St's/members from walk up /non members with perks incorporated in the members areas ie 25-30 off a pint ! Open the place at other times out with before lick off times, madness not too especially a couple of hours after the games.
Not sure about everyone else but most pubs around ER before and after matches are mobbed , suggesting if a better facility like this could attract some of those. The design of the BTG wasn't great IMO so a new build would give the opportunity to put up a fit for purpose facility that provides the best opportunity to make decent money for the Club.
Suppose what I am saying I hope it's on the Boards agenda is that to engage with the fans in this one is vital , especially after all the joint work and interaction over past nearly 3,years ...a big own goal if they don't ..my view only folks !!
