While some things may have changed of late, many others have not.

We are all still Hibs supporters, and we all remain passionate about our Club. We approach the start of a new season with great optimism and enthusiasm, and we have every right to do so.

Our Club is in a great position. Under new ownership, with a desire to move us on further. Great facilities at our disposal, and a Manager with a desire to play great football. With this in mind, we thought it may be timely to remind our supporters out there, that have an interest, that you can still acquire an ownership stake in our great Club. This can be achieved by becoming an owner of Hibernian Supporters, who in turn own an increasing stake in our Club.

Joining Hibernian Supporters couldn’t be easier. Simply go to our web site at www.hiberniansupporters.co.uk (http://www.hiberniansupporters.co.uk) and navigate to the “Donate” page.

You couldn’t pick a better time to join us right now as we will be offering a special thank you to all supporters/donators who become full Members by midnight on 20th October 2020.

By this, we mean that Members who have a balance of 1875 Francks, or above, on their Hibernian Supporters account, which equates to £225. If you meet this criteria, your name will be enshrined on our Official third strip for season 2020/2021. Imagine that, your name worn by our heroes.

Names will appear randomly on the shirt and while every effort will be made to ensure these are displayed well, no absolute guarantee can be given that Members will be happy with the siting of their name. Equal prominence will be given to all.

It should be noted that as this type of initiative has now been used on several occasions Manufacturers are now much wiser in terms of styling to ensure that fans are happy with the final product. Please remember, for £225 you get Membership of Hibernian Supporters.

As stated earlier, Hibernian Supporters continues to be a platform to support our Club and indeed remains the only method by which supporters can acquire an ownership stake in our Club via ownership of Hibernian Supporters.

Please share this message with others. Our fellow supporters perhaps did not listen to us before but hopefully many more will do now.

I don't want to regurgitate the same stuff which has been spoken about recently but I will because as it stands donating now does not give Hibs any money at all does it - as the money is being held until HSL changes it shape given there are no shares to buy?

Appreciate you want to punt the strip idea but not mentioning the fact that money isn't being handed over for the time being is a fairly major thing, no?

Or have I missed an update?

We know your post is not intended to be negative in any way as we are aware that you are a strong supporter of us.

The Share Issue by the Club has ended, but that does not mean that there aren't any more shares available, either now or into the future. Indeed, we have continued to receive share donations all week.As we have stated earlier, there has been a very temporary hold on passing money to the Club. The reason for this was quite simple. While our Articles would have provided for this, your Board felt that very many of our donators were led to believe that in return for their donation we would receive shares in return from the Club. As that would not have happened we felt we didn't have the moral authority to do so without consulting with our Members first. This is only temporary and hopefully by the end of August our Members will be able to give us their instructions and things will be clearer going forward. We are making it clear in our post that your donation gives you Membership of Hibernian Supporters.

Our Articles appear for the time being to be as valid as they were at our launch.

Rest assured we will not be handing any of our Members funds to :

Hearts FC
The Rangers FC
or any other purpose our Members have not instructed us to do so.

It’s maybe worth a mention Dave but it has been mentioned in several previous updates that work is ongoing to decide how HSL funds will be used to support the club. Folk can still contribute in the knowledge their cash is being held securely until that decision has been made. As you mentioned, it’s also a fantastic opportunity for people who aren’t yet members to achieve that status and get their name on the strip next season. If they can afford to do so of course. Looking forward to some updates shortly.

What are you doing with the money that continues to come in for the time being? Just amassing a large bank balance?

Thank you for pointing this out. Can we just reiterate, that it is you, our Members who will be determining things, not your Board. We see the Consultation Meetings as an opportunity to inform and help our Members who want to understand more how things work with shares and ownership. Above all of course to take feedback and instructions from our Members.

Hibernian Supporters as a platform will be able to accommodate the needs of all supporters who choose to offer some additional financial support to their Club.

Not sure it was in jest but don't see point in mentioning two other teams. Just my opinion, keep it Hibs focussed only:flag:

We were just trying to illustrate the point that none of our Members funds would be spent on unworthy causes, but we take your point.

We know the money is going to our Club, so why mention other's. Let's keep it about Hibs only. Just my thoughts.

I agree, why would anyone remotely think that any money raised would go to those clubs, its an unnecessary comment that for me sounds a little unprofessional.

Which is a shame really, as they have and are doing a bloody good job. :top marks

It's proving to be a bit of a nightmare for just as you say, holiday reasons. Hope to get a note out on Monday.
