Dave1875 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 It's £100 towards the new stand funding, a benefit thrown in that you're guaranteed your seat. Hibs have charged the same price as when they were in the top league in the diddy league for three years and you think we're being mugged off. For what you've gotten to watch at Cup games the last few years... yes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've tried to tie some kind of bonus onto it but it's essentially a donation to the stand building which everyone knew was going to be asked for. Again, people aren't under any obligation to help but it was noted at the outset of the stand project that the fans would be asked to donate at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've also seen (by the end of the season) 2 possibly 3 trophies in that same period which likely wouldn't have been possible without that pricing structure so not mugged off at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 You just need to look at this page to see how many dafties zip up the back. Punting the prices up 7% on top of the further shafting of thousands of Main Stand season ticket holders - and on the back of this utter horror season. We have become so Hibs and I called it over a year ago. We're going to continue being an absolute shit the bed club until all of Budge and Levein's influence have gone. We could be talking a decade of limp cock pish. I'm done until we're a club that fucking hates our rivals and can produce a poisonous atmosphere again. The saps in our support can endure it all in fans like myselfs absence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I have no problem with the season tickets going up 7% across the board after three years. That logic holds. A lad on twitter worked it out at an £1.46 increase per game for platinum supporters. You can moan about the increase being shite, but for a sense of perspective, Rangers are eleven points ahead with a budget three times ours and had the gall to put in a 20% price hike. What I do have an issue with is if the price of the season tickets in the Main Stand is now going to reflect those of the ones in the Wheatfield Stand. The whole main stand is silver, so roughly you’d be cutting that allowance in half. That other half plus the extra 2000 seats in that stand will then go up to being platinum and gold. For a lot of main stand season ticket holders, that will be roughly an increase £50-£150 on phase one pricing alone. Also, if they are planning to cut the Roseburn for Cat A games, that a good load of bronze season tickets down the pan as well. I'll still end up renewing mine, but I can sympathise with anyone, especially a FOH contributor, would be put off by this. Personally, I think the pricing structure needs to be looking at again and re-evaluated with this Main Stand pricing being put in the place. Quite like that we’re going off and doing our own performance school. Celtic and Rangers already do this outside the SFA performance schools. Not that I’m saying they bear a lot of fruits but I’d like to think with our structure, we’d be in a better place to offer first team opportunities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no chance of a half built stand like Motherwell or a big mound of earth like Patrick Thistle? *I am well aware we bought a stand off our rivals and stored it in a warehouse for years without ever constructing it as promised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
