No more money from me

[Hibby70]

I have just sent an email to the board letting them know that I am refusing to renew my season ticket if the standard of football doesn't increase dramatically this season.

In all my years as a season ticket holder I have never seen a poorer SPL and we are by far and away the worst team in it. Year on year I renew and every year you think it might get better than the previous year's horror show.

It's just not happening. If the board want Hibs just to be a business then I'll class the product they produce in a similar way. £400 to pay a board, team and management for that dross, no thanks.

Not sure if they'll take my comments on board but I'm sick of it. I'm expecting big changes at board and management level to turn this shambles around. No other business would continue at this level of failure.

I would honestly rather pay £15 a game to watch the under 19 team in the first division than £25 to watch this bunch of imposters. I actually think that this might be the reality in 10 months time.

This made me laugh.

You're right though, its ****ing brutal the now. I cant see me renewing again if this continues. We are well and truly ****ed, a real horrible position to be in. Its lose-lose: We stick with CC and were ****ed. OR we sack him, PAY HIM his compo and get some other loser in on buttons who will no doubt claim he needs time to get his own players in and were back to square one.

Scottish Football is just the worst, very close to not caring.

When that Pars goal went in to make it 2-2, I wasnt angry, I wasnt surprised, I kind of expected it. Were pathetic.

I completely sympathise with this post.

I've given up on finding out about team news before a match, contributing to team selection threads on here and marks out of ten. It's got to the stage where I couldn't care less who plays in the team from week to week and who's injured/suspended and individual performances are so poor/mediocre that it's hardly worth giving anyone marks out of ten.

I'll still go to every game that I can make because it's just what I do every week, it's part of my routine. However, I am working on the night that we play St Johnstone at Easter Road. I could get a night off from work if I really wanted it but I would rather work and get the money. A few years ago, I would have done everything possible to get to a Hibs game.

Hibs have really killed off any enthusiasm that I once had with almost two years now of abject performances and awful results. I'm quite sure I'm far from the only one who feels that way.

I can guarantee you will get a reply from fife hyland telling you he is hurting and he will share your comments with the board

Ive done it a few times and always get a reply however i just told him actions speak louder than words

[nortonhibby]

same here. how did we sink so low

We have been spiraling downwards because of RPs appointments Mixu was not that great Yogi tried but had to go as he had lost it but CC With money to spend to bring in his own players and given a free reign to get rid of Derek And Bamba our 2 best player has somehow managed to continue the spiral downwards to the point where we are now.

In all honesty only the most optimistic of us could say that given more time things will get better it is actually getting worse every week panic has set in now the substitutions today IMO Were a panic move to try to cling to the 3 points.

Expect more panic moves as nerves set in we are in a Relegation fight now that is plain to see luckily we have Inverness and Aberdeen with us but they have decent Managers not great but Decent we have CC:confused:

[Hibees07]

Funnily enough my eldest son said to me today that he wasn't interested in a season ticket next year and couldn't be bothered going to any more games this season. Considering I pay for it thats quite a statement.

To be honest I am losing interest myself and if it was not for my youngest son (who for some strange reason has the Hibs bug) I would probably not renew either.

[--------]

I wont be back until calderwood is out !!


More than Calderwood have to go.

The problem clearly lies with the guy who appointed Collins, then Paatelainen, then Hughes, now Calderwood....

The question has to be - what sort of support did these guys get from THEIR boss - Petrie?

I'm not talking about money - I'm talking about support and encouragement and a working set-up geared to produce a successful football team on the pitch. Effective backing-up when dealing with disgruntled players? A clear signal from the top that mediocrity isn't good enough?

Apathy and complacency seems to rule at Hibs from the top down, and while the fans are clearly hurting, I don't see much evidence of that pain being shared by the men who could change things. Farmer and Petrie seem to be perfectly at ease with the situation.

Five and a half years ago we won the CIS with some beautiful football. 5-1 is a big score in a final, and Kilmarnock were a decent side after all.

Now we couldn't kick our way out of a paper bag.

I'll be in Motherwell on Tuesday evening, but I won't be at the game. I have a business meeting which if we could bottle it we could sell as a non-addictive substitute for Mogadon. In the past I would have skipped it - or left early and popped up to Fir Park for the game. I feel no urge whatsoever to do this on Tuesday. It'll just be another excruciating exercise in public humiliation and embarrassment.

Besides, a Presbytery Property Meeting promises to be a lot more entertaining than anything Calderwood could contrive on the football field.

Are Farmer and Petrie at all bothered by the state of the club these days?

They should be. They're the men responsible. Farmer has to waken up and smell the coffee. I don't care what he did 20 years ago - it's right now that matters, and right now he's presiding over a disaster.

Petrie has to go. And someone has to be appointed in his place who can sort out this mess.

And until this happens, I too will not be back.

I'll be back. But just because i dont have the imagination to think of something better to do .

On the way home we stopped at Aberdour. Kids ran about on the beach for an hour, there were seals swimming about, great views of edinburgh across the forth, the kids loved it.

I bet they wonder why we couldnt have spent the WHOLE afternoon there.

Ive said for years the club needs an overhaul, even when we were playing well and had mowbray thats when petrie should have invested in the playing staff as who knows what could have happened had tony had a few bob to spend, problem is, where it matters on the pitch petrie couldnt give a toss, he has brought in calderwood who really doesnt have a scooby doo what he is doing, as for bringing in brown....laughing stock. totally sympathise with the o/p.
