HSL - Let’s back Hecky

[oldbutdim]

Delighted to say that my fifty quid made its way to the correct destination.
I’m happy for that and my monthly 18.75 to be invested as per the assurances given.
Maybe I’m just too trusting.

I do find the constant sniping and bitching about HSL to be quite irritating to be honest.
The sheer weight of negativity probably stops a load of Hibs fans chucking in an affordable amount.

Whae’s like us eh?

[CraigHibee]

Quite happy to donate money after I've been paid, all for a fantastic cause imo and if it helps us push forward then I'm all for it

Did York hibs ever appear again after getting his numerous assurances?

Was wondering about that, maybe just wanted a moan like many others on this thread. I was contacted last night from HSL with apologies about my problem with donating my £50. They sent a link through GoCardless and the donation has now been made.

Just need the password reset to get fixed now, although they admitted that there are a few problems and will be contacting the web developer.

Whatever. Why the need to ask any question when the answer is right there in the OP? What a load of nonsense.

I asked HSL what they thought of the likelihood of people withdrawing because of (things like) the new security costs. HSL guy was on this thread you see, not the Sniffer Dog one.

You might see it as sniping, bitching nonsense, I don’t.
I got his answers.
It seems that the point in question might stop some contributors to the scheme. That’s written in these very pages.
I doubt a few words on here stops new contributors any more than the dross they read on match days stops them going to games.

Im continuing to contribute to HSL as I have done, since the start, with the odd complaint. I suppose I trust them that much.

There’s massive bitching and unfounded negativity over every HSL thread. Always an excuse for some. This is something we should be united with.

If we want our club to be successful it is important that HSL succeeds.Rangers and Aberdeen are clubs thatare getting substantial funds form their fans. The money that HSL has given to Hibs can be the difference from our club being able to get a quality player that we would not have been able to afford without HSL money.

People can say anything on here, particularly if they're letting off steam.

In this case it assumes that they are contributing in the first place and, if they are, that they then go on to cancel. HSL has already reassured us that no cancellations have been notified.

[barcahibs]

Just like to point out a counter argument to those who want a forensic examination of HSL's contributions and a lengthy debate about whether training cones constitute a football expense.

A long as it's spent on Hibs, I don't give a XXXX what HSL spend my contribution on. Lightbulbs for the boardroom, diesel for the team bus, a new kettle for the tea room, training cones for the coaches or biscuits for the sniffer dogs. What does it matter? As long as its a covering a club cost then money that would have been spent on that cost can now be spent on the team.

I've never understood the need to compartmentalise where money goes - unless you really believe Rod has been burying fivers under the old car park.

The CEO has made it clear that HSL cash goes to funding player contracts and transfer fees.

We could not agree more. If you are irritated imagine how your Directors feel.
Clearly if we get things wrong it is only right that we are told and do our best to do better. What is not helping is misinformation. There are constantly things posted here that are not correct and it creates a narrative that is damaging. It’s not just the “ponzi” claims that hurt but many other things that suggest we are doing something wrong when in fact it’s nothing other than a personal preference or perhaps some who are not too good with technology.
We should always remember that HSL is not a mystic third party, it is you and all your fellow Members that own this Company that is the second biggest shareholder in the Club.
HSL is a good news story. We have the best supporter scheme when you compare us to Rangers, Hearts and Aberdeen. We have a super opportunity here to do great things with our Club so come on everyone get behind us and help our new Manager. Even if you can’t afford to donate a one off £50 to be included in the draw why not donate £25 or better still donate monthly from just £7.73.

Pretty sure this applies to me (maybe amongst others) anyway I was ashamed enough to go back in and get it sorted. Just make sure I'm in the draw HSL

7.73? Wasn’t that Ian Murray’s haircut about 20 years ago 👍

Yup. And feel the same way to be honest. I'm already donating as much as my budget allows me.

Really?

In what way is it cheeky?

Not necessarily aimed at you but from the outside it looks like folk go out their way to try and find an angle to moan about HSL.

I am an HSL member, I got the email as well and didn't see anything wrong with it at all.

I didn’t see anything wrong with it either. They couldn’t be any clearer that people should only donate if they can afford it.

when they don’t do this type of thing people complain that they’re too passive. When they do they’re cheeky. Can’t win.

Just read the email and the only thing I could criticise is the PS at the end. I paid the £50 not long after reading about the latest initiative on here so they could have made reference to that earlier in the email rather than tagging it on at the end. Not a big deal though.

We are really sorry that you found our email cheeky.

We want to improve our communications so would be most grateful if you could be more specific ? We want to get this right to avoid any negative narrative developing around HSL.

There is nothing you can do. The people who want to whinge and complain will do so regardless.

Anyway where is my email. I never got one :-D

HSL,

I got your email and would be delighted to be in a position to donate more, but unfortunately can't at this point in time.

Please continue your good work, and to communicate more with those on your database. Many people will be in such a position to make a one-off donation but it may have slipped their mind - it took me 4 or 5 reminders from marketing communications and thread on Hibs.net to eventually sign up.

Again, keep up the good work.

100% spot on.

Some folk seem desperate to find an angle to either bash them or a reason not to sign up.

Just come out and say I won't be signing up, not for me, instead of looking for ways to put others off. (These will be the same folk who will then complain about the club and it's ambition if Hearts and Aberdeen start leaving us behind and bring in better standard of players).

I for one didn't find the email cheeky at all.

Just because you didn't find it cheeky doesn't mean others didn't.

I'm not looking for any angle to bash HSL, I've been signed up for ages now and if I thought it was a rubbish cause I wouldn't have bothered signing up at all. So I won't be coming out and saying 'I won't be signing up, not for me'

The email, I'm assuming, only went out to folk who have signed up for HSL. So I'm well aware of the cause. And as I stated above I pay as much as my wage allows monthly.
