It's the AGM tonight. I always enjoy attending these whether the mood in the room is positive or not.

Looking forward to hearing Neil speak tonight. He always speaks well.

Anyone else going? What do you think the hot topics for tonight will be.

Crap pies, tannoy problems, filling in the corners and loyalty points 😂

A plane is standing on a runway that can moves like a massive conveyer belt.... actually that's maybe for the pub afterwards.

The team seems settled, that's us lost key members and replaced them with players who are as good, if not better, a few times so I hope some of the other gripes do come up time and time again on here are addressed such as the tannoy, behind the goals and catering, even if the answer is that there's no plans to review as the club would prefer to focus on x, y and z instead. At least folks will know that the topics have been considered and dismissed for valid reasons rather than the club are unaware of the issues or just ignoring them.

While they're not big things they do reflect on the club and both our own fans, and others view of the club and we want the fans attending our stadium to have the best experience possible so they keep coming back.

Exactly. Would be keen to know progress on the indoor pitch at EM too. I think that would be a potential game changer for us

There was an episode of Peep Show a few years ago in which Jeremy states that the news peaked with 9/11, it was so spectacular that nothing else gets him going anymore.

I feel a bit like that with the Hibs AGM. Nothing will top the one in the 1st season after relegation. The build up included proposed takeovers, the protest, the anger, LD arguing with a former player, STF getting up and going on a furious rant, the reaction to that and some top notch pies into the bargain. These good times just don't cut it when it comes to giving good AGM.

That was peak AGM. :greengrin

The others have merged into one for me. There's usually quite good talks/presentations given about the squad and what they're working on etc and the year they had men and women's Scottish Cup's out on show was good too.

I suspect this year will see:

Loyalty Points (again) - with the same answer given about ST value, resource consumption, and admin costs.
Sevco/Celtic ticket allocation - probably with a "if we can sell the tickets to Hibs fans we will" answer to place the oneous on the fans to reduce the OF allocation.
McGinn transfer/money - answer around being a club that allows players to progress to the next level and how we secured the best deal for Hibs with emphasis on the money being spent on Kamberi/Mallan/Horgan.
McGinn add-ons - answered diplomatically without giving anything away.
HSL vs FoH/DNA - Emphasis placed on how NL is thankful for the extra budget and the fans contribution.
Catering/Shop/Tannoys - ongoing work to improve the fans matchday experience with Lafavourita pizza stall, new tannoy system, and shop products.
Singing Section - Discussion around the difficulties to move them anywhere now that stadium is mostly full of ST holders.

I'm mostly just going for the pie. :greengrin

If that is the answer to the Celtic question I’d expect someone to ask why we don’t put the tickets on sale far earlier to make the tickets available to supporters at a time when costs may be a lot less, ie not right before Xmas. I went to buy a ticket for the derby and the Celtic game two weeks ago and couldn’t, even though I can buy tickets for games that aren’t until next year.

Nothing to do with the football side of things at Easter road gives me any cause for concern just now. It’s probably as good as it’s been.
Any questions I had would be to do with STF’s succession plan, how the club sees the game in Scotland progressing, if we have any thought on the introduction of FFP rules in Scotland, have we investigated the possibility of cross border leagues etc. Most of it they would not be able to answer but it’s important to ask these things.

I don’t think the club’s system for updating contact details are the best. Each year when I buy my season ticket I notice that they have my parents’ phone number against my record. Each year I change it. Next year it has reverted to my parents’ number. I haven’t lived there in over 10 years and I’ve moved a couple of times since I did.

It was really quiet this year. There were three grumbles

1 Guy sent 3 emails to Hibs with no response while the club claim to be open and transparent

2 Someone else wanted to know about Leeann’s pension contribution being so high

3 A question to Leeann about how happy she was with Ticket Master. She said that 95 per cent of the time she was satisfied. Not a great answer. The guy followed up with “Robbie Williams can sell 100,000 tickets in 20 minutes, how come we take 5 hours to sell 3,000?”

She was kind of let off the hook by some joker shouting “who does he play for?”

Also someone asked about Scott Allan. Neil Lennon said we tried but it never happened. He noted he was a free agent next summer but was happy with his squad though there is always room for improvement.

A genuine question (not stirring it or being wide), can an employer choose to reward an employee for a good performance by increasing their pension contributions, perhaps instead of a wage increase or bonus payment?

He didn’t need to say that. What he could have done was said something along the lines of what Rod did. It was actually the tone of what he said that I thought was poor.

I’m an accountant myself (although nowhere near being an FD to be fair) and you learn how to give political answers to questions like that where you can’t really comment in detail (for a variety of reasons) in a similar vein to how Rod answered.

A genuine question (not stirring it or being wide), can an employer choose to reward an employee for a good performance by increasing their pension contributions, perhaps instead of a wage increase or bonus payment?

Yes. It may also be more tax efficient for both.

He didn’t need to say that. What he could have done was said something along the lines of what Rod did. It was actually the tone of what he said that I thought was poor.

I’m an accountant myself (although nowhere near being an FD to be fair) and you learn how to give political answers to questions like that where you can’t really comment in detail (for a variety of reasons) in a similar vein to how Rod answered. Any FD that I’ve seen have difficult (or silly) questions asked of them has dealt with them in a confident and friendly manner. I don’t think Jamie did that.
Met Jamie on a number of occasions. He is a lovely guy who sometimes seems to lack a bit of confidence/authority in his delivery.

Been really good at the club and will not be easy to replace.

I actually asked Frazerbob if they’d put something in the coffee! :greengrin

Only real bit of intel that I picked up was that we paid a substantial proportion of £200ish k to terminate Stokes’ contract.

Yep, I found that interesting too. I seem to remember there was a bit of confusion on the thread about the accounts about the loss on disposal of intangible fixed assets figure. The bulk of this relates to Stokes.

No disrespect to Jamie but the same thing happened at his first AGM (which was probably the last AGM I actually attended before tonight). I would have expected the FD to have made immediate reference to the RemCom’s role and was surprised he didn’t.

Rod referred to RemCom when he stepped in to take the focus away from Jamie.
The original question to Jamie put him in an awkward situation to reply, given there are only 2 paid directors at the club, one of who is Jamie himself. It was hardly appropriate for him to answer the original question as he had a vested interest. He dealt with it as diplomatically as he could and Rod came in and saved the day imo.

Oh - and btw - what does everyone on the forum earn in a year? Awkward!!
I’d bet there won’t be many on here wanting to reveal publicly what they get, let alone have it publicly announced but that is a requirement of being a director of a limited company, so the the original questioner was being a bit cheeky in asking for further clarification in the first place.

No surprise he was the only one who didn’t agree to pass the motion to accept the annual accounts.

Personally, I can’t remember a time when I have been more happy with a board’s performance.

Results on the park, obviously are the main factor, but in essence while they are human beings and do make the odd decision I will not agree with fully, they certainly get much,much more right, than they get wrong.

I think they have built up a level of trust, that whereby if the make a hotly disputed decision, instead of being just immediately pilloried, people now are willing to consider their reason for making the decision, before attachin* them to the pillory.

And it’s not uncommon for an employee to be given the option, if receiving a performance related bonus, to have the bonus paid in pension contributions (with far greater tax efficiency) or in cash.

I suppose it was an AGM, the accounts were offered, the Shareholder had the account detail in front of him and as questions were invited he had the right to ask one. He did start by asking if it was appropriate and was encouraged to go on. He got his question(s) in without a rant and accepted the invite for a chat off line so I reckon the attention seeker chat elsewhere is maybe a tad overplayed.
Awkward questions at a gathering like this are the norm. ‘Everyone on the forum’ doesn’t have their business posted to thousands of Hibbies each year so its hardly relevant.

Seems like an increase of some proportion, but as has been discussed, maybe they’re worth it. And one of them is leaving!

I agree, it takes lots of decisions over a number of years to get things a wrong as we'd got them wrong to finally have the club relegated.

Of course criticism would build over that time, to a pinnacle where we had that rally in the car park.

Now we have things going right, but this has not happened overnight. We have been putting in a plan to get us where we want, and probably where we'd all dream we can be.

I think the loss on disposal would be the transfer fee we originally paid less amortisation (my memory's going - did we actually pay a transfer fee for Stokes). His pay-off, if there was one, would go into staff costs and wouldn't be separately identifiable unless it was big enough to be an exceptional item.

Right have found the info re it. The minimum requirement is 50m x 30m surface area. The Oriam indoor pitch is 116m x 76m to give you an idea. That is the minimum requirement so we would have to have something that isn’t below that size. Our barn just falls short of that.

Its for the whole academy. And the point is to provide indoor facilities for training and drills etc. We have plenty of full sized pitches to practice shape and game dimensions. A full size indoor pitch would be fantastic but i assume it costs a fortune.

Absolutely understand points made.

I always think a business should resource itself not just to meet current requirements but to include an element of future proofing.

Who is to say rules don't change in future and we are left having paid money for something that no longer meets criteria

The weather at the training centre is awful sometimes and it is very exposed

How good would it be to be able to just move inside and work on those things

I would guess the cost of extending proposed development to full size now would be considerably less than having to adapt in future if possible.

I think it would be a great development tool for academy teams as well, they cant learn a hell of a lot playing outdoors in some of Scotland's winters

We should be thinking big here IMO

He’s been there too long. Should have took the huns job. It’s not as if Aberdeen fans are known for acknowledging loyalty to them and many want him out now even though you look back at where they were finishing prior to McInnes going in.

Did anyone ask what was happening re the NHS proposed move into the North Stand?

Leeann spoke about it in her address. If I heard her right, she said that it was being used Monday to (?) Thursday.

Tracey will probably put me right again :greengrin

Sorry if it's already been asked but was there any further mention about a larger supporters bar being built in the space between FF and East?

Right have found the info re it. The minimum requirement is 50m x 30m surface area. The Oriam indoor pitch is 116m x 76m to give you an idea. That is the minimum requirement so we would have to have something that isn’t below that size. Our barn just falls short of that.

The indoor pitch at Oriam is the exact same dimensions as Hampden. It's a massive park.

I presume the numbers you gave for the Oriam are yards, not meters

Tell us more about what actually happens there. Is it a GP surgery?

It’s a different initiative. NHS still haven’t taken over

I thought they had during the closure of Behind the Goals?

Maybe just me imagining it but I'm sure it was discussed. With BTG now open again it's possibly been forgotten about.

Maybe a stupid question but if the barn falls just short can we not just extend the barn to suit?

They did look into building a bar inside east stand. Not sure where they are with it

Nine Scottish Premiership clubs will receive more than £370,000 each in Uefa solidarity payments on the back of Celtic reaching the Champions League group stage last season.
Ross County and Partick Thistle, relegated from the top flight last term, will also receive their share.



another 370k for the coffers, a most welcome cash injection for Ross co and Partick Thistle as well



put our 370k towards installing exits at the back of the East Stand :)

Was the issue of the very highly priced Hibs oven gloves not discussed?

In detail but the fact that the Hibs goal scorers are on fire it was suggested that we would all be happy to buy a pair and the club make money. Would you not buy them to guarantee your safety?

I wonder if sevco will return their share or put it towards their legal costs?

The barn is just that. It’s a cowp.

It’s not a barn, it’s a repurposed agricultural building 😄
