The Club will continue to support the actions of Police Scotland and the courts in acting against anyone detected carrying out a breach of the Ground Regulations or being involved in unacceptable conduct.
Walkways should be kept clear, and if seated in the stand fans are asked to take up their designated seat while watching the match. This is not only a ground regulations requirement but also in the interest of the safety of all members of the public.
Football is a place where families come together to support their team and Hibs prides itself in being a club for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, colour, gender, religion, creed or sexual orientation.
Finally, please listen to and follow instructions given by Police Scotland, stewards and club officials over the PA System, before, during and after the match.
The Easter Road lightshow takes place before selected domestic games and when Hibs score.
In the summer of 2024, Hibs made a major investment to enhance supporters’ experience within the stadium. These improvements included a full upgrade of the stadium floodlights.
The health and safety of supporters is paramount to the Club who have consulted industry specialists prior to installing the lights to ensure they conform to all accepted standards.
The lightshows will not contain any light sequences of unusual frequencies that would raise concerns about photosensitivity among the general public.
The shows all adhere to the strict guidelines for lightshows and broadcast media. They have been used in other stadia without adverse effect and have been approved for use in a public setting.
Although Hibs have gone to great lengths to ensure the shows are safe for all to enjoy, the Club would still advise any supporter who may find such lightshows uncomfortable to consider whether it is best for them to avoid being in the main stadium bowl during any show.
In this regard, appropriate notice and details will always be given ahead of any lightshows on the club website supporter match day information page and through our social media channels.
