Can you afford not to ?
All cash raised goes straight to the manager’s fund to help get the players we need at Hibernian to take us onward to the next stage, it may even help to keep some of our favourite players at Easter Road a little bit longer.
Your help as a supporter can go a long way to making this possible.

I already contribute to HSL and I would urge anyone who can to contribute even a small amount every little helps. It could make the difference in taking the club to the next level

Is buying a season ticket not enough? After all those funds go straight in the managers transfer budget don't they?

When Hearts and Aberdeen pay of their new stadiums, which will definitely happen at some point, their advantage over us will be huge.
You don't need to donate extra, but our closest rivals are...

I’ve been contributing £10 a month since the very beginning and I haven’t missed it at all. If it’s helped in even the slightest way to bring a bit of success to the club then I am more than happy with my investment.
Not everyone can afford it but those who can certainly won’t miss a small amount donated every month. Just have one pint less a week 🍺.

It's £10 per Month, but the comment "Can you afford not to?", is like some sort of gulit trip mechanism. Poor show IMO"There's class, there's first class and there's Hibs class" - Eddie Turnbull

I would encourage all Hibs fans who can afford it to contribute and help with making our team as good as it can be.

I love Hibs but I don't really agree with this kind of thing. Ultimately you'll have every club in the SPL doing the same thing, cancelling each other out and leaving fans with less money and nothing to show for it.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what individuals views are... its a black and white issue.
More donations = better budget for the squad
Less donations = stay where we are and lose some of our best players as we cannot afford to aspire to their financial ambitions (Dylan McGeouch to name one).
If you cannot afford it, then please don't decry those who can or those who actively encourage others who could afford it but don't know the benefits. If anything also encourage it.
Its not elitism at work here, its harmony. HSL staff, members and contributors are doing their best to help out the team and in turn the Hibernian community as a whole.

Can HSL not head up their thread titles starting with HSL?
-
06-06-2018 11:59 AM #16
I’ve set up a £10 per month payment (as well as my Season Ticket)
The fan ownership side of HSL doesnt interest me much but the additional funds going into the Manager’s fund does!

In saying that, I agree the plea for cash in a forum thread is not helpful. It is far too loose and lacks specifics. If you want folk to commit cash, better to be very specific on what we’re trying to achieve, what is needed overall to get there, how the funds will be held and used. Important the folk actually see the incremental improvement, there money has made ie without the extra contributions, what would the squad have looked like. If it can be shown exactly what the funds have done eg allowed Lennon to snag Kamberi, then many more would be inclined to subscribe IMO

No one is obliged to give, so I’m quite happy that we raise money this way.

Buying a season ticket is the single most important way of backing the team - both financially and in person.
There is always a risk that appeals to back HSL ignore the amazing backing that supporters are giving the club. A full ER is a glorious sight.
However, there are folk who don’t make it to many games, for whatever reason, or can afford to give a bit more on top.
It’s all good!

At the moment, only a few clubs are doing this.
If all Premiership clubs started a subscription scheme, would you still argue that Hibs should avoid it?
It’s another source of revenue for the club. It helps to improve the squad. Why get worried about that?

Nothing wrong with the OP, folk can either afford it out they can't, I don't think anyone at HSL or anyone supportive of HSL have ever set out to guilt trip folk into signing up.
In fact, in the majority of comms that have asked for cash they've gone to great lengths to make it clear people should only contribute if they can afford it.
The OP is a turn of phrase, I don't think anyone should be getting worked up about it, personally.

Surely all that matters is the need to improve the squad. We don't want to either stand still as a cub or slide backwards HSL can help the club to move forward

Joking aside - I actually agree that it could have been positioned and worded better. But it's not offensive and clearly only designed to drum-up interest and memberships for HSL.

I’m glad they are going out for more. The greater the awareness, the better IMO
