Hibs.net team, Hibeernian AFC - healthier than HoMFC

[Mister P]

With sincere regrets, Hibeernian will be informing the league AGM this Thursday that they are unable to compete in the forthcoming season due to lack of sponsorship funds .

The team formed on the summer of 2006 as a bunch of like minded Hibbys from this message board who would meet up every Monday at the meadows for a kickabout.
This lead to forming an 11s team and running our own supporters league for 4 years untill joining EADSAFA Sundays. We have started in div 3 and had 2 consecutive promotions and just finished last season in the premiership.

RIP - Hibeernian AFC

The hope is to find league funds to allow us to continue in 2014.

[PerfectlyFranck]

That's a shame, I would've loved to play regular football in a team of Hibbies.
Hopefully, something gets sorted in the near future.

What sort of money are you needing John?

[Judas Iscariot]

£350 for the league fees

[Onceinawhile]

Have a team race night, you'd make that easily. Probably 2 or 3 times that. Just need a pub with tv screens or a projector. The sports pub at the meadows can do it (can't remember the name)

[Mister P]

We have our own setup
Projector, power amps, discs etc.
Unfortunately there is a lack of effort from some of the squad which lead to the planned race night being scrapped last week.
League fees are due for Thursday.

[Mister P]

If there was anyone out there interested in being the forthcoming seasons sponsor, this would give us some time to raise funds and have new kit and sponsor printed in time for the new season kicking off.

How big's your squad? If you've got 14 then surely they'd be willing to pay £25 each to keep your team running? You could even say they'll get it back in free subs if you find a sponsor.

Another option is this... http://www.youthfootballscotland.co.uk/news-a-media/featured-news/2952-seeking-a-sponsor-for-201112

Honestly mate we've been through it year after year, just an uphill struggle trying to get cash together. There was about 6 boys willing to put £20 each, the rest just fell on deaf ears.

A sponsor would give us time, which is what we've run out of!

A sponsor raffle is something someone suggested to us and its a superb idea, just times not on outside anymore.

To be fair John, there was only 2 weeks notice regarding the "planned" racenight

So to blame the players for lack of interest is ****ing bull****! Why was it left so late to announce & plan?!

I had 3 things on that weekend that had been organised WELL in advance but if the racenight had been mentioned with more than just 2 weeks prior warning that'd easily taken priority!

Why was there no communication regarding a date for it either?! None of my family could've made that date as they were in New York, that's just my situation, sure others had their reasons too!


2 weeks is nowhere near enough time to organise, drum up attendees, get raffle prizes, race sponsors etc etc as you well know!

I'll hold my hands up as 1 of the guys who never replied to the text about money, the 1 and only text may I ad!!

If there was such a poor response why wasn't another text sent out?!

I've put my hand in my pocket before & would've done it again if a wee reminder was sent out, am I the only one?

Doubt it!

I just totally forgot/didn't read or notice the text with being busy with work & Stevie-Lee, I reckon a few other guys would've innocently forgot too no?!

Quite shocked that its been chucked as easy as this to be honest.

As we proved with our 1st racenight with the proper notice & planning etc, raising league fees is easy, small change compared to the near grand we raised

Played so many games for so many teams it's hard to remember. Can't remember too many players in that team apart from Mike Sweeney and a guy called Andy who played at the back I think.

Absolute class. Means a lot to play for the Beers. Have to agree with you Fenton - the communication was shocking.

Moving forward we need to get the running of the team sorted and pay this fine gentleman back.

[Gus]

Hibs class at it's greatest :agree:

I took over from John about 7 games til the end of season & it has been a struggle to raise a team, let alone a squad.

We were promoted by default somewhat over the last 2 seasons due to league re-structures & I strongly believe this has hindered us.

With the support of the guys on here, we will be only signing players that are good enough & committed to wear the holy shirt.

As for an previous attempted fundraiser, this was short notice, granted. I'm positive previous league fee's were not due until end of July so we didnt have the time scales we would of hoped for.

As for the texts to folk,I got replies off folk & I responded to the folk that responded to me. Granted people have other responsibilities (especially you Fenton) but as do I.

Anyway lads, onwards & upwards. Fantastic response from everyone on here. Didn't even think to ask on here as although the players are active on .net the Hibeernain part is not aswell used anymore due to other social media, facebook etc..

Thanks again

Matt, Gus, English

Really? Like texting someone saying you are playing & then not turning up or just not replying at all??

Not gonna go into individually but yes some people didnt receive the communication as I never heard from them so assumed they didnt want to be involved anymore.

Agree with the final point tho :agree:

[Pretty Boy]

Would be good to see Hibeernian continue, always enjoyed playing against them.

I spoke to Fenton a while back about coming along but for various reasons it didn't happen.

For the 1st time in about 3 years i'm fully fit, also just finished another couple of goalkeeping coaching badges so if you guys are interested I wouldn't mind coming along as a coach or player/coach if you already have keepers.

Until my glass shoulder goes again that is!!

[Teo10]

Gutted to hear this would have been happening and the generousity shown bring a tear to a glass eye!

I had been involved with the Beers since they started until a couple years ago and sad to see it come to that. Guys who run these teams never get the recognition they deserve.

Glad you guys are staying and look forward to playing against you lot next year:wink:

Been a tough couple of weeks and it was horrible having to think about folding the 'Beers but we will be kicking on next season and I'm hoping with a few extra bodies we can compete for a few trophies. Everyone has an opinion - that's the great thing about football but we will get everything sorted over the summer and start using our area on here a lot more to keep folk updated!!

Ritchie - Get back along mate, miss your crap puss!

Muncs - If you're signing with Spartans we'll get a friendly sorted for the end of July.
