Firstly, a massive thanks to everyone who either donated last time, helped set up the display and/or held the card up. It looked terrific for our first effort and we now have a taste at how to pull off card displays.

We are in talks at the moment for our display at the Cup Final. This will cover the whole East Stand (making the assumption we will be at this side again).

However, the display is not possible without your donations. I appreciate not everyone is in a financial position where the can donate to such a cause, but every £ really does help.

To make this possible please donate to hibs12thman@hotmail.co.uk via PayPal, face-to-face at the next home game or via bank transfer (PM for details).

We want to take 'Sunshine on Leith' with us to Hampden on the 19th and have a great plan in place! Specifics will be given once the plans are agreed.

Thanks & GGTTH

You will absolutely be getting a donation from me. The effort, dedication and more importantly end product you produced yesterday was outstanding. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

I know you boys will do us proud and make any attempt Hearts do laughable.

I don't think the club want to get involved financially with the group.

Between the support and group we should manage to raise enough.

The club may not but that doesn't mean the players wouldn't be adverse to donating something. Worth a go anyway.

Maybe if enough of us email them we can change their minds.

Either that or ask the players on twitter, I suggest starting with Ian Murray :greengrin

It would be a good gesture if they did chuck in a few bob each, but that's there choice. Was good of the aberdeen players donating 500 quid to them to do there's.

Remember the game at Tynie when we had balloons coming out of the stand and stewards spending ages bursting them whilst treating them like nuclear devices.

Reclaiming FOOTBALL - for fans by fans :agree:

However I think the suggestion that a collection box for this be negotiated with club at ticket collection point (shop or TO) is a GREAT idea...as many more will stick a quid in this than can/will donate larger amounts via paypal etc...very easy to get significant amount this way...

I don't think that the club should be contributing to it but a donation from the players would be a great gesture. Apparently, the Aberdeen players helped towards their display at the weekend.

I have contacted one of the squad and asked if they minded mentioning it during training to the players. Won't hold my breath for a response though.

Also contacted the club about a donation box in the ticket office.

well done for the semi. Different class.

For the final have you considered - one section green and the next white etc etc. Takes away the need from having to spell HFC. As if people are late in it may loose a bit off the effect.

How do you donate? I clicked on the link and it just goes into sending an email.

Cheers

You have to do it via PayPal or alternately you can transfer straight into the account.

Display will be 100 times better than Saturday. It's going to look brilliant.

He's not exaggerating. It will look stunning. I think these guys deserve huge credit for this.

Can I suggest that everyone who reads this thread and thinks its a good idea should also forward the idea/information on to all your own Hibernian contacts?

BR, maybe post a couple of paragraphs people can cut and past to email onward?

Might be an idea to do a 'Blue Peter' totalizer too (for the older among us) so people can see the target and get a sense of reaching it step by step. It also gives you an excuse to bump the thread from time to time.

I can keep the total required in the title of the thread or first post. We are still finalising plans and should know costs by the end of the week. Looking likely to be double what we raised last time. Need to sweet talk our supplier!

If you type into Google images TIFO - you can get an idea of many different displays over the years from different teams - some better than others.

I think the design of the display has to be really thought about and ideally kept a secret if possible.

Good luck with it :top marks

Great effort on saturday guys :thumbsup:

One thing i would say is i thought the reason aberdeen's looked better (and thats not to say ours didnt look good!) was that they were using bigger bits of card than us - this reduced the gaps between each card and hence made it look more 'as one'.

Also would echo the fact that a slightly darker green would stand out a bit more against any white bits.

Look forward to seeing this final display however!! Great work :agree:

Call me old fashioned if you like but displays involving holding up bits of card/paper mean absolutely nothing to me especially when I'm holding up a piece of card and can't see what it looks like anyway! Sure I had a look at it on the TV when I got back and thought err not much TBH. I prefer the show of scarves banners and fans singing at a football match to a display any day of the week. Good luck and I hope you manage to pull off whatever spectacular display you have in mind. Better put my tin hat on now I suppose and await the abuse. :greengrin

Thanks for the input... we are familiar with all the stuff y mentioned anyway. But we want ours to be unique. One that no one has ever done before. One that is ours. Anybody can (Hertz) follow popular cultur with Keep Calm t shirts etc, but they were done in 1939. Ours will be better than last time. It is basically planned already I am doing designs now and the mathematics

Well done on Saturday, I thought it looked Barry.

I like the fact you're not asking the club for money but a possible wee suggestion for raising money to get round that be to ask the club to match whatever you raise then give that to charity, that way the club are doing there bit and getting involved and people might be more inclined to give money if they feel its going to a charity instead of just to a bunch of fans.

Just a suggestion, good luck though

we asked this last time for the semi and the answer was no, i know Celtic got them in for the Final against Killie, but our answer was Hampden will not allow any telescopic flag poles into the stadium.

Target should be achieved with buckets at Dunfy game. Plus excess gets used for other stuff next season as well. Cheers to all who have so far donated.
