I'm all for getting behind the club. Certainly I was all for stripping the titles. However the club comes first in my book and I trust the club are doing what they think is in the best interests of Hibernian.
Glory Glory.

Shameful statement, Petrie part of the problem and needs to go with the rest of them

Jesus, now people want the fans reps hung drawn and quartered !
Is it possible that they took some of the thoughts from here to the board, and the other board members - maybe having more detail on everything including the legals - persuaded them of another course of action?
Theres too much black and white on this thread.

For years we've gone to football matches, seen us shafted by refs who have been happy to shoot about their bias in retirement, at after dinner speeches, and we've had to suck it up.
We've watched as bad tackles go unpunished in old firm games as the ref tries to keep his cards in his pocket, while our players get booked and suspended for the same tackles.
And now we've seen how blatant and strong the evidence is of systematic cheating, and our club don't want to know.
It is all well and good citing lawyers, but what questions were they asked and what was their advice based on?
It stinks, and I'm gutted that Hibs have taken this stance. Even if you can say that not every supporter feels the same, it appears that there is an overwhelming majority who disagree with the stance taken, and that should have been at the forefront of the decision.
They could have at least asked us how we felt about it before deciding for us.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

On the statement, it's not Petrie and Dempster that I'd be directing my ire, if I gave two hoots about the statement. It's not their job to represent the support at board level.

Amazed people care about this so much. Haven't been following this at all and didn't expect us to make a statement about the issue, for or against.

Given Hibs have our money there's little we can do to hit them were it hurts and I'm not sure we'd want to. I feel that's no coincidence it's come to a head now.
I watched the film Ghandi today.
I feel the options for us, and other supporters in Scotland are limited. We can only be passive. But we must be firm.
I propose a minutes silence at 18 minutes in our next game unless we score and again in the 75th minute. And/or both.
That was was when we were born and this could be the death of us.
All other clubs supporters should do the same with appropriate timing.
We will all do this until Scottish football is clean.Space to let

Unless the review or investigation resulted in Rangers being stripped of umpteen titles and forced to wear green and gold strips no one would be happy anyway.
The idea of a review is farcical. Anyone that cares has already determined the result in their head years ago.
Would anyone anyone actually believe the conclusions unless there was absolute condemnation and huge penalties for Rangers?

I appreciate it is on a different level entirely but if those fighting for Justice for the 96 had the same attitude it would still have been the fans who were to blame for Hillsborough. Some things are worth fighting for even if you think you will probably lose. Legal advice is often not worth the paper it is written on especially if it comes to the Establishment closing ranks.
The club has lost quite a bit of respect from me with this statement. It is as clear as day Rangers cheated and that needs to be sorted if only because the next time someone is booted out the Cup or docked points then it will just be brought up over and over. I would think that concentrating on Hibernian was a given for our club directors. For me that includes making sure our game, and its administrator are held to account and sporting integrity is at the forefront of that.

I saw this more of an opportunity to lay bare the corruption in the SFA and the lengths they have bent the rules to suit one club. It's a stich up and we seem happy to keep nodding and playing along knowing the game is a bogey. Wasted opportunity to clear the decks of the cronies in the SFA who are happy picking up their large salaries that we pay for. Disappointed.

Don't really like the statement but hey ho. I'm a football fan and I'll be supporting my team.
I'm not going to get too upset about stuff that only really involves our authorities and one other club.
In no way does this tarnish the good work the board have done.

Possibly the most disappointed I have been with club! If an athlete is caught doping he does not get to keep his medals!

Where's ozyhibby who has been the main poster for requesting a statement and sod the consequences. See the divide it's already causing at a time when there was a real feel good factor about the club
Hibs would've been better making no statement in the best interests of our club. My opinion obviously which I know many don't share

I am far too slow. Still waiting for the Hibernian tops and Fans Reps coming back with how they challenged the Hundogs and the outcome after the disgraceful way Hibs fans, including myself, were treated, at the infamous Christmas bigotfest game. Today's statement does therefore not surprise me in the slightest.
Tracey and Frank.....speak to us!
