    Latest cash raising exercise at Tynie - good or bad idea?

    http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/5877

    So here it is folks. Don't think this has been picked up on before on here?

    "Wash my mouth out with soap" but I actually quite like the principle of this latest little venture.

    Forget about the financial reasoning behind it but having a 'personalised' scarf doesn't sound like a bad thing. Lots if us buy strips and have our names on the back, so why not on a scarf?

    Thoughts?

    Why would you be fannying about on the Hearts website? Budge and Hertz are gimmick central. It would nice to have one I suppose if you are under 10.

    Standard money-making ploy. Good idea. As said, folk get their name on the back of the shirt so this is an extension of that.

    Should have priced them at £18.75. They'd have made more money.

    At least it means people will have the satisfaction of knowing that they'll go straight in the bin when they get lost, rather than someone else using them.

    I actually feel a little sorry for them! Stuck between a rock and a hard place re the stand, costs spiralling, deadlines failing, deliveries stalling, funding diminishing and debt on the rise again! It really is desperate times for them.

    I'm happy with my Persevered scarf thanks very much - that has everything I need on a scarf.

    Freaks will be trying to out do each other with their shan 5-1 and big team patter

    It’s a good idea. Classless and cringeworthy, but a good idea because people will buy it. Why would anyone want to wear a scarf with their own name on it? Weird.

    I wouldn't buy it myself, but it's better than buying a brick.

    How sad are these people?

    Someone at the club has set a deadline for online orders of these scarves of 5pm on Sunday 1st October. It is in bold at the end of the piece. Now that's quite a random deadline for a delivery date of early November.

    That's not done by a whacko supporter, but by the club itself. It's truly a wee team mentality they have.

    I go to Easter Road to support hibs and to be part of the hibernian family

    Football stands bring people together from all walks of life - no place for individualism

    My scarf has the green and white and Hibernian - not my name but the name of the team I love

    What would be quite funny though is a mass of Hibs fans at the next derby holding up personalised Yam Fud scarves all with the same lettering: 'Poppy Thieves'.

    Pity it would require shoveling money to them to do it. Raises an intriguing question though. Are they sufficiently strapped for cash and lacking in civic morality that if say 1000 of us placed exactly that order they would actually print a 1000 scarves with 'Poppy Thieves' to take the money?

    You can bet your life that hundreds will order them so they can use it to obsess about Hibs: 5-1 will be top seller guaranteed. At least they can't use Since 1902.

    When I buy a scarf I want it to say Hibernian, no my name. Might be, like strips with names, a good idea for bairns, but not for adults shirley?

    Edit, they look like they are printed scarfs and not knitted too, which means the name would not last a number of washes (not that thats a problem for most jambos )


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    Yep, a grown man with his personalised football scarf. That isn't right. I'll stick to my Hibs duvet cover and pyjamas and keep it dignified

    This is my view. If they know it will sell then fair enough, but the name on a scarf is who I support. Having my own name on it seems bizarre.

    Wonder how many they'll sell with Skacel 5-1 on it

    How about doing our own Hibs.net version, with our profile names on them?

    That could be...um... interesting.
