Help Hibs: The HSA Scottish Cup Fund

[TheHibsClub]

Our dramatic win at Hampden – and the celebrations that followed back in Edinburgh – provided another rich chapter in our club’s history.

Everyone at The Hibernian Supporters Association (HSA) was proud to see the Scottish Cup back in Leith – and, as presenting partners of the Persevered Trophy Tour, we’re proud to be helping Hibernian Football Club reach out to new fans.

By working with the football club, we can help everyone at Easter Road build on our Scottish Cup success.

We’re proud that the HSA has been part of the Hibernian support for over 65 years, a support that has endured so many ups and downs over the years.

However we are also aware that the celebrations at Hampden caused some damage to the stadium.

We are determined that everyone at Hibernian Football Club concentrates on the main task at hand this season – helping Neil Lennon and his players win the SPFL Championship.

For that reason the Trustees of the Hibernian Supporters Association have approached the football club for an exact breakdown of how much money it will take to compensate the SFA for damage to:

• Goalposts
• Corner flags
• Pitch
• Seats

Today we’re launching a funding campaign to raise the £4733 needed to pay for this damage:

https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/hsa-scottishcupfund

We’re asking all Hibs fans who can afford it to get involved and to donate to the campaign so the money can be paid in full as quickly as possible without diverting any funds from the football club itself.

This isn’t about apportioning blame or pandering to external influences – we see this as a constructive and positive way of giving all our fans the chance to help the football club deal with a situation that way beyond their control.

If any additional funds are raised fans will be given the opportunity to vote on which Hibs-related good cause they are donated to.

Donations will also be accepted in The Hibs Club.

Done, thanks mate.

Will find time tomorrow night to donate
No mention of damage to Electronic Advertising Boarfs Is that issue still in dispute or has insurance taken care of that Some of the figures for those being banded about seemed way over the top

The damage to the LED boards was circa £1.1 million and the insurers won't cover it because they are classifying it as a riot, hence excluded.

If it is classified as a riot, there is some old by-law that says Glasgow City Council are responsible for the damage. Sure i read that on here a while back.

If not, let them take Hibs to court. We claim the SFA are responsible for security. The SFA then claim the owners of the LED boards were negligent in not seeking adequate insurance cover. The Cup Final is a major sporting event and has a high risk of fans entering the pitch. 1980, that's what you call a riot. The Rangers were involved in that too. Any wannabe lawyer will rip the LED owners and The Rangers ( they also caused damage to the advertising boards) apart.

[HibsNutter]

Will donate tomorrow.

Hopefully people don't get all high and mighty about how they weren't on the pitch on this thread and just let people who are willing to donate do so without a fuss.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Done. Didn't go on the pitch personally but better this threat avoids finger pointing so it doesn't lose the aim of raising money to make sure the club doesn't suffer.

[lyonhibs]

Will donate later this week. Wasn't even in the country at the time.

Do I get a medal? 😎

SERIOUSLY!
Firstly .netters paid for majority of image on side of FF.
Now this.
As our club has not budgeted for this.
Yet we were on the crest of a wave. Last 2 home games have been 4-5 thousand up on previous attendances £££.
Hibs did not budget for this either. Whose taking the piss here.

You by this stupid post. Donate if you want or don't but don't discourage other fans from doing so. You can take the boy out of Gorgie for football but he'll always act like he's from Gorgie

Pretty obvious I'll no be donating. Can't see how my view would stop someone else from donating. Oh & thanks for the Gorgie quote. NOT heard that one before.
Lets see how many times I'm called a jambo or a hun.

Its not "Hibs" who are asking for anything here, it's Hibs fans. i.e. The Hibernian Supporters Association, that is asking for other Hibs fans to donate to the fund to help the club out. Nobody "taking the piss"

Me too, and definitely contributing.
I actually ended on the pitch cos I was helping this old boy* who wanted to go down, he was 72 😂 Then I got the obligatory selfie and got myself out of there.

*pretty sure he dug up the pitch, smashed a couple of Rangers fans, battered three Rangers players within an inch of their lives, stole a horse and charged the away end knocking elderly ladies and children unconscious with his walking stick, put the nut on two police officers and goaded the Rangers fans into a bit of restraint. Hibs fans are just the worst.

Damage caused by the fans, paid by the fans. Seems fair

Once the damage is paid for by The fans.
The fans will then be emptying the piggy banks to pay for the legal fees. Which will be far more than 4k. But the clowns on the park will still say It Was Worth It.

I'm not sure I understand the issue you have with all this.

There's a bill to be paid, the fans are willing to pay towards it. Some of those fans were on the pitch, some weren't.

End of story.

That's other people's choice, they can either pay or not. It is the same choice you have, nobody is forcing anybody to contribute. I still think it looked a magnificent sight at the time but in hindsight has caused us no end of bother both reputationaly and shortly financially.

Dunno why you're going tonto at Hibs, its the supporters associations who've set this up.


I'll chuck a tenner in for my "friend" who was on the pitch (just incase polis scotland are looking in )

Was it the directors that caused the damage? Maybe stay in Gorgie it suits you.

[hibs0666]

So when did we start referring to our club as 'Hibs'? Surely it's 'We'?
