Hibees GALVANISE - Fill ER anyway possible - Donate to Community Group

[pacorosssco]

ER should be full to the rafters for upcoming playoff game. Take your dad, take your brother, take your sister, girlriend, aunty, uncle, neighbour, collegue........take anyone who will go with you and support the team.

I understand money is tight but we should be in the upper tier of the South Stand to support our team when they need us most. If it is Rangers this could give us a huge advantage.

Badger yer mate who used to go , offer to pay for him.

Unfortunately I cannot go as I am abroad and cant get out a commitment.

I am going to contact the club and offer to pay for three adults and three kids who couldnt normally afford to attend.

I challenge the Hibs support to follow suit ! especially us overseas guys. If you can spare 15 quid please do.

If you cant make it donate a ticket to the club for a less advantage fan to attend. Give a youngster a chance to go who otherwise couldnt.

I will email the club tonight and ask how we can organise this and if they will post on here. Admins any help would be appreciated if you have ideas. I know Hibs have a community group.

Lets not say what if.

HiBees GALVANISE.

[harpo]

Since I can't make the game I will put my £15 towards this. Great idea!

Lets fill the stadium and give Stubbs and the players all the support they can get.

[S4uzee]

:thumbsup::flag:

[madhatter]

Great idea just hope people wouldn't take advantage of it.

I think quite a few fans could afford to go to the games but don't. If you give them the option that it is free then quite a fair few would go along. Difficult one would need managed appropriately.

Human nature sadly as the joke goes what do father's treasure the most? The free useless spatula or sculpture that the kid brought home from school, why you ask? Because it didn't cost them anything!

[liamh2202]

Hibs have been working with tickets for troops and a few other charities recently... This is the game to get all over these and get the place filled and bouncing. Get a ticket office on princess Street if we have to.

[lyonhibs]

If Hibs have the back office capability to adminster something like this, I don't see why it couldn't become a permanent thing.

Beyond a KfK season ticket, there isn't really a way for fans who maybe can't come to games because they're - for example - bathing in Nazi Gold in Switzerland but occasionally have a sheckel or 2 spare in the coffers that they could donate to the club on an ad-hoc basis so that a seat in ER can be filled that otherwise wouldn't be.

As above, there would have to be some sort of check/test in place to make folk getting access to the tickets were actually deserving, and not just on the take.

[allezsauzee]

This shouldn't require free tickets to be given away. If you truly care about our club and can go then you should be there. This game is massive.

:gwa:

[pacorosssco]

:gwa:

I agree and as per original and most important point. If you can go, then take someone with you . A full house can only help. If tickets are going slow. Lets try and help fill the place.

Myself I cant go sadly but would like to pay for someone who cant afford to but can. I thought maybe some overseas fans could be interested in this. Helping from abroad if you like.

As I said lets try and Galvanise a support in anyway we can .

I have emailed the club for assistance. I am sure they will have a list of deserving causes. Lets try and get them all there if there is the space. I am not interested in buying a ticket for a chancer otherwise I could just pay for my mates.

[Peevemor]

I'll chip in if something is set up.

A response from the club below.

That’s a fantastic gesture! Always makes you proud to be a Hibee when you hear of gestures like yours.

We had another supporter get in touch over the weekend with a similar offer, so are currently looking at how to get the tickets purchased and distributed. I’m catching up with Susan from Leith Links (http://leithlinks4kids.com/ (http://leithlinks4kids.com/)) tomorrow to see about distributing to their associated charities. Hopefully you are happy with this approach to distributing the tickets, and we can get something sorted for the match.

I’ll be in touch tomorrow with more information when I can.

Thanks again, it’s much appreciated.

Firstly, can I just say this is a great idea so thank you :thumbsup:

As Colin says, we're looking at ways to distribute any tickets donated to community groups and hope to have something in place by tomorrow but, if you would like more information in the meantime, please contact CMillar@hibernianfc.co.uk.

Instead of (hopefully) lots of people sending individual emails, are we not best to wait for the details giving a PayPal account or whatever?





I also think it would be a fantastic gesture from the club to match, on a like-for-like basis, any tickets donated. What's the use of empty seats? :devil:

Re second point- the club can't due to differential pricing rules (SPFL)

[Vini1875]

Pump QOS or huns away and ER will be full no doubt. I imagine a lot of fans will wait to see the outcome of the first game so I wouldn't be too worried about ticket sales. However it would great to see the sold out signs go up prior to the first tie.

[Since90+2]

Already have my ticket but I will chuck n £15 towards this if something official is set up. Anything to have less of they tramps at ER is good for me.

[Big_Franck]

Anyone heard anything more on this?

We've already got our tickets but i'd be happy to chip in if the tickets are going to those that can't afford to attend. The charities that normally receive tickets through the Kicks for Kids scheme aren't getting tickets for the play-offs as they are not part of their season tickets. Should hopefully make it easier for Hibs to identify a group of worthwhile causes.

[millarco]

Hi everyone.

Just a wee update, we've been looking at the process of supporters to donating and reckon the easiest way would be for fans who are willing/able to donate to do so through Leith Links. They can then buy as many tickets as possible with the funds raised and match them to the needs and wants of the kids charities that receive tickets during the season through Kick for Kids.

You can donate through the Leith Links website: http://leithlinks4kids.com/ways-to-donate/paypal/

Thanks again to all supporters who have been in touch so far to offer to purchase tickets, hopefully this is the easiest way to do so to allow as many kids as possible to get to the game next Saturday.

Any questions feel free to give us a shout on here.

Cheers,

Colin

Under normal circumstances, a donation to Kfk would be pooled into paying towards a 75 quid ST but if I donate for example £30 to this, that'll be used for 3 kids tickets for this game in particular ?

Not being contrary, honest guv, just wanting to make sure everything is clear for those thinking about contributing.

Yes just look at other threads with a link to Leith Links or pm Frank Suzy she will keep you right you can donate an amount that will buy a season ticket or go towards buying one and this allows youngsters who might not otherwise get to games to attend .

Fair play to whoever donated £1,000, that's a great gesture.

Anyone that can afford to chip in no matter the size of the donation will still be helping though. £10 sends a kid who wouldnt otherwise be able to attend to the game.

Hi D

Good question :greengrin We have enough for 150 kids tickets already and Leith Links purchased 146 KfK STs, so if every one of those groups takes up tickets, we'll still have an excess. I have, however, been contacted by other groups requesting tickets so hopefully we should be able to allocate them all. Failing that, I'm sure we could contact the schools who receive tickets from Hibs :aok:

If anyone knows of a charity/community group who could use tickets then please let me know.

[FranckSuzy]

How does it work Susan? Is it 1 adult with a group of kids?

It just depends, C. Some groups know which kids don't need as much supervision so they'll only need 1 ticket but others might need 2 or 3. The extra money will cover it though, thankfully, so no children will miss out :aok:

Superb stuff!

[Chris1]

271 kids tickets as the generous person who donated £1,000 has also sent over another cash sum to cover the adult tickets needed :thumbsup:


I've just donated- but wasn't given the option of leaving a comment to say it is for the semi- could you confirm it went through okay?

Many thanks and good work!

That's a great effort so far, i'm sure we can improve on it though!

Out of interest, what is the deadline for donations for tickets for the Rangers game? It must be a bit of a logistical nightmare to buy and distribute hundreds of tickets to various different charities.

We may be in the nice position soon of saying, "please don't send anymore money!" :greengrin

I have started sending the allocations to Hibs but I think tomorrow evening/Thursday morning would be the latest time for tickets to be purchased/handed out :aok:

Still waiting on quite a few groups getting back to me, if they're reading this :I'm waiti :wink:

That's my wee bit sent. Well done everyone involved. :aok:

Not yet but I've started giving Hibs the allocations so the ticket office systems don't explode :greengrin

Hopefully nowhere near that lot.... Probably the East though, as that's where the Kicks for Kids STs are for :aok:

[Cabbage7062]

Great cause. Well done to the individuals who take time out their day to organise this. Just shows hibs are a great club with great morales. I've put through a donation, but unable to put a reference as it was of my phone, can this be confirmed as been received. GGTTH.

The generous Hibs fan who donated £1,000 has graciously agreed that, in the event of the donations received outstripping the groups who can use tickets, they are happy for the remaining balance to be put towards Kicks for Kids season tickets for 15/16 :thumbsup: This means that EVERY single penny of the donations sent in by ordinary fans (:greengrin) will go towards tickets for Saturday.

It also means that many more children will be able to attend EVERY Hibs game, which can only be a positive move.

Finally, I cannot thank those who have donated enough, as the groups who have been contacted were absolutely delighted to be offered a chance to go to the game. It makes you extremely proud to be a Hibby :not worth

That's some list! Credit again has to go to Paco for suggesting this and for Suzy for all her hard work again.

[Hamish]

Absolutely. After last night reading that list has raised my spirits more than a little.

Saint Suzy we should call you!

You obviously haven't met me :devil: :greengrin Nah seriously, it's been my pleasure and special mention to those on The Bounce too, as the donations they received that couldn't be allocated were generously added to ours :thumbsup: Therefore, another group to benefit are Craigroyston Boys Club :aok:

[FranckSuzy]

That's some list! Credit again has to go to Paco for suggesting this and for Suzy for all her hard work again.

:agree: Absolutely. Brilliant idea and hopefully, this has brought Kicks for Kids/Leith Links to more people's attention :aok: Fundraising is still going on for next season's KfK STs..... :cb :greengrin

[FranckSuzy]

I think the kicks for kids donations should also be promoted. It would be great to get a whole bunch on season tickets so these kids can go anytime next season as well. Also 100% of what is raised goes to club. But great effort to everyone who has donated so far.

:wink: :thumbsup:

[southern hibby]

Does anyone know how much it is for the kick for kids season tickets and who deals with it??

Does anyone know how much it is for the kick for kids season tickets and who deals with it??

Yes :wink: :greengrin It's £75 and you can either purchase it direct from the Hibs ticket office or via Leith Links. Either way, the cash goes into the Manager's transfer pot and more children can attend games :aok:

[pacorosssco]

[FranckSuzy]

A late addition to the list is KITS (Kids In The Street), who provide free football sessions to children in the Craigmillar area. This has come about due to the juggling of ticket numbers to some groups :aok:

[PatHead]

Great to see so many deserving people benefiting from the fund. Great work.

[pacorosssco]

When I had this idea I never could off imagined its success but I hope it doesnt end here I hope this is just the start. Imagine year on year if we could raise 500 seasons for those in need of a lift and our next generation

[FranckSuzy]

Just received this email from Hibs :thumbsup:

Please pass on our sincere thanks to all supporters who contributed, for their overwhelming generosity in welcoming these children into The Hibernian Family.

It is extremely humbling for me to be able to offer such opportunities to groups of children, who would otherwise be unable to attend, and to hear the joy, excitement and gratitude in the voices of their support workers is the best part of my job!

Thank you all so, so much for making a difference! This is why we have the greatest Club in the world! #wearehibernianfc #proudtobeahibby

Kind regards
Sue"

I received a lovely email today, from Kids In Care, one of the groups who received tickets for Saturday's game plus KfK STs :thumbsup:

"I am just writing to thank you and Leith Links for your support throughout the year for Kids in Care. Sue has been great all season in securing tickets for some of my young folk and has said you provided great support throughout the year. I am so pleased that groups such as the Leith Links are willing to support our young folk who would not have the opportunity to attend matches under normal circumstances.

Although the result was a disappointment I’m hoping next year will be more productive for us.

Thanks again and please pass on my thanks to all your members.

Glory Glory"

That's great to hear. Hopefully they'll benefit from tickets again next year.

For anyone that would like to donate but hasn't as yet it costs as little as £6.25 per month to help buy a Kicks for Kids season ticket. See this link: http://leithlinks4kids.com/ways-to-donate/
