Can you afford £10 to help Neil Lennon get the players he needs to take Hibs forward

I demand you check your arithmetic...

Jesus, how much cat juice had I had last night..?

OK, £120 worth of cat food, not £520. But I still demand Kamberi and Griffiths anyway.

I know it’s a bit late, but this is a very serious suggestion - can the name be changed?

The name HSL means absolutely nothing to me. In fact, almost every time I see it, I have to google to see what it even stands for. And ‘Hibernian Supporters Limited’ isn’t exactly emotive either. Every time I see ‘HSL’ posted on here, I glance over it as I don’t associate any feeling with it or affection towards it.

Foundation of Hearts and AberDNA have a lot more of an emotive feeling to them. Fans donating to them know exactly what it is and that it’s for the good of the club. HSL sounds like you’re chucking your money at a corporation, not the football club we all love.

I’m a branding specialist btw, so happy to help with naming etc if needed. Or the marketing department at Hibs, see what they think.

To attract more donations, it has to be a call to action. It has to stir up emotion with the fans.

I think this is a good shout. Anything that can be done to promote HSL and encourage more donations can only be a good thing.

Agree with this.

I think a better name would attract more people to donate.

Absolutely the whole tone of voice needs to change. I feel sometimes HSL have bit of a chip on their shoulder and feel they aren't getting any credit for what they are doing. I understand they had a lot of unhelpful negative comments at the outset so a rebrand and reboot would not be a bad idea.

[blackpoolhibs]

I agree with the name, its very bland and does not sound great.

How about Hibernian investment bonds scheme, not sure if its a bit long, but might be able to be shortened?

Now I think we could be getting somewhere with our efforts to raise funds for the football ambitions of our great club.
I believe it could be called anything under the umbrella of the limited company, extending the reach to so many more Hibs supporters everywhere. a point that I made to them a while ago which at that time fell on deaf ears.
Look at the response to this thread compared to the original HSl thread that I originally wrote in about, its like night and day.

What about calling it Hands ON Hibs? A positive call to action, and a nod to another historic campaign where the fans played a major part in ensuring future long term stability and success for the club.

Or All for Goals and Glory (a name that suggests that we are all this together for the on field benefit of the club - also obviously a nod to one of our songs).

Unfortunately you have been knocked off your pedestal. We now have 25 new donators which we presume has been prompted by Charlies interview. We are hoping for 100 over this weekend. We cannot emphasize enough the option for a one off donation if you choose or cannot commit to joining HSL.

Help us get to the 100 new donators over this weekend. Forward messages and emails to fellow supporters. Urge them to look at Charlies interview either on Sky Sports or EEN.

HSL

Hi HSL,
In all seriousness this post also apart from being great news with added contributions of around 40 combined in just a couple of days. Sort of highlights a glaring omission in the Market Research, which could be easily fixed with just some simple questions on the forms that you fill in to become a contributor.

Just need to ask how they heard about HSL, i.e. Internet, Hibs.net, T.V. word of mouth, etc.

[danhibees1875]

Hands on Hibs would have been perfect. But as said, they're an existing group and they opposed the HSL scheme - or they did a couple of years ago.

I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure what they're alternative was.

[kaimendhibs]

No it isn't. Every penny goes to the managers budget

Maintenance of east mains will be covered within the clubs budget as it need to happen no matter what.
This is extra money that the club spends on nice things like better players or psychologists to keep their heads right apparently.

​*insert name of current manager here

[ColintonHibs]

I thought sir Tom was a billionaire. I was gonna say why can’t he invest some in the club. £1B at 10% per year is £100m per year. I thought he can at least put £5m into the team every year when compounding at 10%.

A quick look on wikipedia and his net worth is only £130m. Where’s Tom’s money gone? Or does Wikipedia not count his business assets?

Getting this thread back on subject!..

It will be interesting to see if HSL reach their target of 100 sign ups by the end of today. This is a real unique opportunity for us to get behind our manager. Backing Neil Lennon is a given for me. I just love his drive and passion to succeed with us, to take us to a new level like never before.

Hopefully they'll smash it. GGTTH

Lot of sense talked in this post.

Not a criticism of HSL, but my memory is of a confused time around the launch of the scheme, and the message not really hitting the target.

I’m not a member as I don’t have an income coming in now, but I am someone who daily keeps an eye on what is going on in regards to the club.

If I was confused when HSL......and I agree that the name added to the confusion...was launched, then I would suggest a ‘relaunch under a new name may well hit the target area with more force and accuracy.
