Good interview with Charlie, gets the point across well and again good publicity.

The more fans see and hear about this the better.

Sky Sports coverage is a pretty big coup as well.

Great interview with it also being screened over the uk more good publicity for the club and HSL my only negative point is the reason it was on was to promote HSL but the camera angle didn't show the HSL logo but as I've said all good we must make the most of this feel good factor I've donated to the cause and I hope as many hibbys ( if they can afford it) as possible can donate even a small amount all money goes straight to the managers budget for players great idea let's do it if you can Ggtth

Time waits for no man/woman, just another reason for not putting things off in life, in my humble, the time is right and now is the time for the Hibernian Football Club to continue on the upward trend.

It is. Pity the more local media aren't interested. Local paper for local people.

Our local paper is printed in Newcastle the night before I am led to believe, not much local about it at all.

...but it's still for local people though, mostly.

It was being printed somewhere on the west coast for a while when did it move to England?

No sure but I did hear it was being printed in Newcastle, never read it myself.

Don't speak too soon. With a little luck tomorrows Evening News and tomorrows Scottish Sun.

Not sure if it was picked up well but we hope that supporters will consider Charlie's plea. Aberdeen are reporting that AberDNA ( their HSL ) have just raised half a million from 3000 supporters who have stepped up to the plate since 1st April 2018 to hand to Derek Mcinnes half a million pound to spend on securing/retaining players.

If supporters don't want or are not able to commit a regular amount to HSL please do remember the one off donation option. If 10,000 even donated just twenty pound we could hand Neil a huge help to support our ambitions.

They must have some hefty "lump sum" investors, if you look at their monthly memberships, the top one is £18pm.

Even if all of the 3000 paid that, it amounts to £54,000 per month.... £162,000 in 3 months, so if they have raised half a million in 3 months, I'd be surprised.

THIS...

Charlie Reid is in the evening news and makes for a good read. Delighted that at long last the Hibs fans are sitting up and listening to HSL, who have done a brilliant job when you consider the start they had. Let's do this and take our club to a level like never before.......

The Aberdeen scheme is different from ours I’m sure. Only about 10% of what they raise makes it to the club. The rest goes on membership benefits like discounts etc.
With HSL, all the money goes to the football dept at Hibs.

Here’s what you get with Aberdeen’s. It’s really nothing like HSL, more just a product the club sells.

Still a great idea though, maybe something we should look at

When we launched our new web site we introduced the concept of different donation benchmarks which would be measured in Francks. Donators can log into the Member area to see how many Francks they have. This is intended as a little fun and not to be taken too seriously. We are currently looking at a number of things that we can use to recognise these different contribution levels but as we said at the relaunch we want our "goodies" to be on the park. We don't see much point in spending £30 to attract a £40 contribution. We also have to be mindful of our Articles which require us to direct all funds to the Club. Having said this we would really welcome any suggestions in this area ?

Perhaps worth making two observations here :

We suspect you may be right and that the stated total amount may have been enhanced by a couple of chunky one off donations from some wealthier Aberdeen supporters. While we have a number of very generous regular donators to HSL we are still trying to reach out to those who perhaps would be willing to contribute a sizable sum ( hope you are .Net followers ) ! It is also fair to say however that the FOH are very much based on small donations from the many, which let's be honest, we are hoping to get to.

It may be that they have "annualised" the figure. In other words, they have calculated what will come in over the next 12 months from the pledges made in the last month. Still means that Derek will have that at his disposal to spend on recruiting or retaining players.

Just a thought.

If it takes money away from HSL, I'd disagree.

Every £1 of HSL money goes to the Club. In a scheme like Aberdeen's, for every £1 contributed, 16p. goes to the VAT man.

Hi,
I think a wee ‘exclusive’ pin badge or something would be a great idea. Something unique, discreet and hopefully not too expensive.
I’m sure people on here could come up with some good designs.

Crops, I’m saying a membership scheme is something we should be looking at anyway, not to do with HSL. Anything that encourages spending with Hibs, is a plus for me

HSL - do you think you could do more to get people to your website that may then influence their decision to contribute?

they will also be taking a hit on the various discounts being offered on season tickets and kits and the cost of putting on “special events” so while they are bringing in £500k in donations how much of that is actually going to end up on the pitch as well.

A membership scheme would be VATable, too.

My point, clumsily put, is that if someone wants to give £10 to the Club, they should be encouraged to give it to HSL rather than directly, for the VAT reasons. Also, £10 towards buying something from the shop, for example, has a cost to the Club. £10 to HSL is pure profit.
