Hibs Women

[NAE NOOKIE]

There's a 'just giving' page on the go for Hibs ladies trying to raise £10,000 to help them get to the other end of the crisis .... I cant do links, but seeing as how I cant see any thread about it on here perhaps someone more savvy could post one. Seems like a worthy cause for those Hibbies in a position to contribute.

Donation made, they really have been a credit to Hibs over the last few years and fully justify our support

[Andy74]

I asked this on the other thread about it but what’s it paying for?

They shouldn’t have many costs. They are an amateur team not currently playing games.

I’d be happy to contribute something but it’s fairly vague on what they need it for.

This is a club with aspirations to represent Hibs Ladies in Europe so they have loads of costs, training expenses, travel etc and the women’s game is taking massive strides forward as regards professionalism, they have to buy strips, medical supplies so all that and much more takes a substantial amount of money and the one thing which can’t be levelled at this particular ladies club or many others is that they are amateurs !

Otherwise they will have to call it a day before the Covid19 situation has ended.

They don’t have any of those costs just now though so I am not clear what the current appeal is there to pay for.

Totally agree, I have never known an amateur team to have no costs. The bottom line is you either donate in good faith that the funds raised are used in a fit and proper manner to aid the running of the club, or you don’t.

From memory on other threads, you seem to have a real problem with Hibs Ladies.

You moaned on and on about no funding to come from the main club budget. Now they are trying to raise a little bit of funding on their own, yet still you’ve got a beef.

What gives Andy? :dunno:

Just put something their way.

Much like a number of teams in sports up and down the country, they have a number of financial commitments and this is to help them over this unprecedented period.

[wallpaperman]

If he has no interest in the ladies team, which is clearly the case, then I don’t know why he would want to get involved, other than to needle.

I have no interest in something, be it on football or a music forum I frequent, I leave it alone.

Who knows what bills there will still to be met, even if it’s just funds for when it all starts up again that’s fine with me.

My daughter’s football team have cancelled the monthly subs just now as they know times are hard, but some of the parents, us included, are in the fortunate position of being able/wanting to pay them, and we know the club are grateful to have some buffer when they restart.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Some strange stuff on this thread. Who cares what the money is for, I'm sure they wouldn't be asking if they didn't need it. At the end of the day the ladies team has done the Hibs name proud over the years. The most I've ever given to them is paying to see their game with Bayern Munich at ER a few years ago, apart from that it's been basking in their reflected glory as they won cup finals on ALBA which I bet applies to most Hibs fans.

Surely even for giving us that wee bit of pleasure on the odd wet Sunday afternoon they deserve a few bob of any Hibs fans money if they can afford to, without it turning into a forensic financial examination of what they need the money for.

I've said I'd be happy to donate if I knew what it was for. The request on the page is pretty vague though.

If they have costs and it is to keep them going then that's something I'd help with. If it is to give to the team members then that's not our place to fund them and I'd not be interested, there are other people in need at this time.

There's something on the lines of 'to keep them motivated' mentioned which makes me think it isn't just running cost.

Always think it is pretty standard courtesy when asking for donations to be pretty clear on where the money is going.

It wasn't as if it was a demand from what I saw, they were just hoping that Hibs fans who could spare a few bob would be willing to chuck in for a team playing under the Hibernian FC name in Hibs strips and acknowledged by the club and many of our supporters ( you would hope all of our supporters ) as an important part of its wider identity ... Not to mention that as fans, or a club, we have never been slow to associate ourselves with their successes over the years, You would have to be pretty cynical to come to the conclusion that the money was for anything other than funds needed to keep them going, or help them, as a team .. and if that means for example getting all the players on line and linked up to keep in touch then that would be fine by me.

Hell, even if its to give to the team members for whatever reason they might need it and there's no reason to think that is the case, then so what .... if folk are uncomfortable with the idea nobody is twisting their arm.

For me ... Its a Hibs team asking for a helping hand and that's enough for me as a Hibs fan.

[Brightside]

If you want to give money then please do. One thing is clear is Hibernian FC isn’t giving them any additional funding so many people that post on here will be delighted.

Or form a group, have a whip round, and collectively sponsor a player.

The Oz Hibs had a whip round a couple of months ago and sponsor 2.

[Keith_M]

Maybe a short description of what the ongoing running costs actually amount to would help people see the need for making a donation.

I've no gripe whatsoever with the Hibs Women's team and I think that somebody merely making a request for more info is pretty reasonable.

[Just_Jimmy]

So far 7000 Hibs fans have bought season tickets for next season - with no idea what that will entail. Whilst I fully accept the women's game isn't for everyone, if 2000 Hibs fans can donate £5 each, they'll reach the target. It's not a huge ask even in the current climate.

If 4000 donate £2.50...

That said we do have quite a lot of scrutiny about what our season ticket money pays for, how much is on infrastructure v playing budget and so on. Then when you take HSL which is basically a donation, the fuss made about admin costs, where the money goes and how it used shows people do want to know the detail of funds being used in the right way.

This attitude that anything to do with the women's team means you have to just shut up and support it or not doesn't really do them any favours.

I just think they'd stand more of a chance of getting support if there was a clear thing you were funding. It all looks a bit too much like it is going to the players the way it worded currently.

I never get that when I buy a season ticket for the men’s team. It’s just to pay for running costs. No idea why the women’s team needs to provide more detail. It’s not for shampoo and conditioner.

Do you know what your season ticket pays for at Hibs? I don’t. I just pay it to support the club.

[Forza Fred]

Same here.

When I chuck in to support the men’s OR the women’s team I don’t ask for a forensic breakdown of the running costs.

Way I see it, you either support the teams or you don’t,0

[The Modfather]

Do you know what your season ticket pays for at Hibs? I don’t. I just pay it to support the club.

Is the comparison made earlier with HSL not a more valid comparison to the justgiving page than a season ticket? We know what we get for buying a season ticket (entry to home games, priority for cup games etc). It was less clear and garnered more scrutiny as to what the HSL donations were being used for.

There never seems to be any middle ground on threads about Hibs ladies. There’s undoubtedly folk that are fundamentally against the team but on the other side of the fence there are those who equate any form of debate or questions as an attack on women’s football/Hibs ladies.

[BILLYHIBS]

I will make a donation but I feel that HIBS need to decide whether they want a Ladies team or not especially now with Celtic and The Rangers offering their Ladies professional contracts and snapping up all the best available talent
The HIBS Ladies have done us proud so far but I feel we are coming to a watershed moment time for the Club to pony up or ship them out
I have nothing against HIBS Ladies and enjoy watching their games and style of play on YouTube
All of the above is of course imho

[Keith_M]

It's quite clear what the running costs are for Hibs: the stadium, training ground, players wages, etc.

My understanding was that the women's team is amatuer and doesn't have these costs, so what's wrong with putting out the details to clear up people's lack of knowledge in that area?

It would help if you realised that not everyone is out to attack the Women's team (though I fully understand that those people exist).

The same qns are asked and answered constantly. The team has running costs like any other football team. The funding will help with that. It’s that simple. The important thing for so many is we arent taking anything from the men’s team to subsidise the women. So most people should be delighted that they are trying to bring external funding in.

However, I feel that those that want to support it would still do so, and those (and I genuinely mean this with respect), like yourself that are publicly not the biggest supporters of the concept, would use the information as a reason not to.

It's a no win for the club. If people want to support them then do so, if not then let it go and don't. I don't understand why every thread in relation to the women's game get forensic analysis to the 9th degree.

I thought they looked an embarrassment to the women's game and as such Hibs ladies must have backslid a long long way to lose to them.
The writing was on the wall when the Glasgow teams started supporting their ladies teams financially.

In the other games Rangers beat Motherwell 9-0 whilst Celtic drew 2-2 with Forfar. Don't know if the tracksuited masses have protested in the wake of that appalling result for Cellik.
P.S. Lizzie Arnot scored for Rangers.

I remember I used to watch HIBS Ladies on YouTube a few years back and they played a highly impressive controlled passing game from the back out

The Hearts team that came up from the Second tier on the Documentary looked miles away from that standard but it has to be said that their opposition ( I think it was Partick might be wrong) looked even worse

As you say the standard must have really tailed off

Celtic and rangers gave their women’s teams a £500k budget. The days of Hibs and Glasgow city winning everything is over unfortunately

That’s the way it goes.

There was a move to try and move on the women’s game from being a participation sport to something more professional, even if that wasn’t currently backed up by people willing to pay to watch it.

The natural outcome of that is that you gravitate towards the hierarchy at the professional level.

Rangers have went out and bought a team to win the league this season, at the same time taking the best players from City. Short term targets. Celtic have invested more in their Academy. Unless the old firm pull the plug they will be miles ahead of Hibs, City , Spartans over the next few seasons. Its concerning for development of young players if senior teams are going to focus much more on immediate first team success. Over the past 10 years Scotland have brought through some real top class talent. It will be interesting to see if that continues.

In a way it will be a good thing for young talented players in that it provides a middle ground for them between the largely amateur teams like Hibs Ladies and the big clubs down South. In essence it will allow them to play professionally in Scotland without having to leave their families and support networks until they decide if it is right for them.

Very few of the young talented players will be in Rangers first team. They are buying the best players to win the Scottish (many of whom have already been down south and now came back) Similar to men’s football. The other teams now need to concentrate on signing and playing the best youngsters in the country, then they will be the jump they need to the bigger leagues. Too many of the also rans in the league now are still heavily weighted to experienced players and the youngsters end up going to the 2nd div to play what is industrial football. Aberdeen probably the only team in the 2nd worth watching and they are full of the based young north talent. That’s my concern about youth development. I think Hibs / Hearts etc will go much more this way over the coming seasons. It’s already started tbh. They simply aren’t going to be able to sign players to match Rangers and Celtic.

a couple of these girls against dundee utd next saturday could maybe compliment some of our girls that played yesterday against st johnstone




just a thought :)



HT 3-0

[Brightside]

Did budge not give Hearts ladies a decent sized budget?
Presume also Kirk is a full time manager

100k budget. Most of that is actually swallowed up by using Oriam and paying for coaches.

[davy67 +]

7 would be a nice number of goals

[Weegreenman]

Some really good football being played by the Hibs ladies. They are miles ahead of the Hearts ladies, so much so I’d like to see Hibs slow the game down and really stretch the Hearts team by playing a bit more keep ball.
It’s all a bit kick and rush which makes for untidy play at times.
Anyhoo, what the hell do I know? C’mon Hibs, we want seven!

[cabbageandribs1875]

well done the girls FT 6-0

[Max_Shah]

100k budget. Most of that is actually swallowed up by using Oriam and paying for coaches.

Christ, if that is really all it takes, and assuming you are not just playing pretend, then I may need to re-evaluate where some the proceeds of my BTC/ETH [crypto] and GME [stonk] investments are being channeled.

I quite fancy playing real life Football Manager with my disposable capital and could quite easily do so if that is all we are talking about.

TBF - I've been quoted £275k plus odds and sods for "completed it mate" status in Scotland which includes basic academy teams, piece rate coaches of which there are thousands, strips, ground/facility hire [virtually free in some LA's] and wages [assuming hybrid P/T]. You know everything it would take to to tick the SWF/SFA boxes and bankroll Forfar Farmington [for example] to victory.

Very low barrier to entry which is mega concerning for the future integrity of the womyn's game. But I'm sure that red hot paragon of virtue - the SWF/SFA- has thought all this through, as I am certainly not someone you want investing in your ladies pro team.

[Weegreenman]

Ye, well played 👏👏👏

With all the moving about, who’s going to play at Saughton enclosure

[tamig]

Plus the stand is far from the pitch behind the running track. Think the application was for the other side ?

The new cafe doesn’t look big enough and reception looks like the poorly designed one at Oriam with a bottleneck.

Meadowbank needed replaced but feel they have done better with the design as looks pretty ugly and bland. Gyms looks decent enough.
I think they’ve done not too bad with it but looking at it cynically, I think the Council have made their buck by selling off a big chunk of the land the site used to occupy.

[Greenbeard]

I think it is probably more to do with safety at sports ground legislation. At least it used to be. I am out of touch now in retirement but it used to be the case that if you had a stand seating more than 500 you had a mass of safety obligations to comply with.

According to our always spot on neighbour's Hibs ladies won the league recently, guess Glasgow City winning it for about 13 years on the spin must have passed them by and Hibs have been ploughing money into the ladies team for years.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Boyle is the best player in the team by a country mile. We are lucky Mr Boyle hasn’t moved on or I doubt she would still be here. Going to be a tight run in for 4th place and will probably come down to the game v Spartans. Winner will get 4th.

Hopefully we can stop losing players now as well as adding a bit more quality for next season.

[CMurdoch]

Would an East league of 5 not be pretty weak and less attractive than the present arrangement?
No SWPL2 this year will have set development of the women's game in Scotland back a little.
Spartans, Forfar and I suppose Glasgow City are anomalies in the top league given they are not connected to big mens clubs.
You would expect to see teams from Aberdeen and Dundee stepping up in years to come probably at the expense of Forfar and then Spartans unless the top league is expanded.
Glasgow City seem to be set on strong roots so they could keep fighting in the short and medium term.

[Eyrie]

Checked the table (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scottish-womens-premier-league/table) and Spartans are two points ahead of Hibs (28 vs 26) so, if we beat Forfar, they'd need to win due to the respective goal differences (-9 vs +8).

Assuming of course Spartans don't get anything from Glasgow City later this afternoon.

Sorry, I'll be honest and state right away that I don't really follow the ladies game at all.

Are Glasgow City likely to fall back next season with the Old Firm continuing to financially back their teams?
Are Glasgow City likely to fall back as far as Hibs next season as the Old Firm continue to take their best players?
Will Hibs pull away from Spartans next season?
Will Hearts improve much next season given their limited financial backing?
Are any other clubs likely to improve greatly next season?

Thanks in advance for your knowledge and opinions

[Brightside]

I don't know much about women's football but I do like to take an interest in the game in Scotland.
Can those with more knowledge tell me what they think about next season.

League increases in size to how many teams? Currently 8 teams.
Will it be a case of playing each other 3 times as it was this season?
When does next season begin and end?

2 up Aberdeen and prob either Hamilton or Partick. Nobody goes down.
Aberdeen have some of the best young players from the north and will surprise a few teams next season.
Glasgow City continue to find players to compete against the old firm. City arent short of cash and always manage to find a player or 2!
Assuming Hibs add to their team (and they have 3 signed already) i'd expect them to be 4th. Spartans need to also sign about 4 or 5 if they are going to compete for 4th. They really struggled to score goals this season. Spartans also announced that they will be moving some players to contract in the summer - so again will be interesting to see what happens.
Hearts despite being last actually played some great football but their squad is very young and has a lot of loan signings from Celtic etc. If they can keep them all (and they wont get a game at Celtic so they may as well stay) they will end up top 6.

I'd expect a league table of
Rangers
Celtic
City
Hibs
Spartans
Hearts
Aberdeen
Motherwell
Hamilton / Partick
Forfar

Re Spartans, i had noticed their horrific goal difference compared to Hibs despite their similar point totals. Only thing not covered in your answer is how many league games next season and when does the league start and finish.

Forfar are losing two of their most experienced players, one of whom is the club captain. They really do rely on youngsters coming through so think they will struggle next season.

I'm not sure thats confirmed yet. SWPL arent great at comms. :greengrin

Yep agree on that. They have some good young players but will struggle against the experienced teams.

It was the only outcome, and they will now want extra funding.

That should be interesting. :greengrin

And before you know it, they’ll get the vote too😂

Never gonna happen.

[JimBHibees]

No they didnt, they were outplayed, they challenged the officials at the goals they lost. Not a sign of a team lying down.

Ok fair enough didn't see it

Great signing for Hibs. Weakens their nearest rivals. She’s a young dynamic centre mid and has been outstanding for Spartans this season

Any idea why the Women's kit doesn't have a sponsor again this season?

Would have thought it made sense for Utilita to sponsor both men and women, particularly given the rising profile of the women's game.

Holders Hibernian scored 10 for the second game in a row to reach the SWPL Cup last eight, while Rangers joined them with a 5-2 win over Aberdeen.
Michaela McAlonie, Colette Cavanagh and Alexa Coyle each scored a double as Hibs thrashed hosts Dundee United 10-2.

Kilmarnock will face Dundee United on Sunday for the remaining quarter-final berth in Group B after winning 3-0 at Stirling University.
Rangers saw off already-qualified Aberdeen for a third straight win.
Goals from Rachel McLauchlan, Zoe Ness, Jane Ross, Lizzie Arnot and Chantelle Swaby inflicted the visitors' first loss in Group A and sent Rangers top with a game to spare.
Motherwell saw off Boroughmuir Thistle 4-1 for their first win, with both sides unable to progress.
Glasgow City, in Group C, are already through, with the four remaining places to be decided in Sunday's final round of group games.

I have enjoyed watching the womans team in recent years and was hoping to catch them more often, but the strange livi move decision has put paid to that.

For me it's a shame we are not pushing the womans team more. We seem to be building a good side and players like murray, boyle and hunter are great club ambassadors. It would be sad to watch the old firm and others overtake us when we have been so competitive for years.
Personally I would play nearer ER and allow first team season ticket holders in for free to boost crowds and engagement.
The womans game has kicked on down south and would love our club to push our side a bit more to keep up.

I would agree that we should be playing nearer ER if not at ER. Letting our season ticket holders in free will not work as Hibernian women have their own Season ticket

I know that, but feel we missed a trick in not offering that bonus to first team season ticket holders to grow supporter connections to the womans team.

[hibby rae]

Can an admin change the thread title to Hibernian Women?

They don't use Ladies anymore as a name.

Agree with most of that. Although I'd still like to charge for entry as this is probably their main strand of funding. Perhaps offer deals on pricing though?

I was hoping they'd play at Meadowbank. Should be opening soon. Not only is the Livi stadium a pain to get to if you don't drive. There's also limited options for pubs etc.

[Brightside]

Mickey already proving to be a great signing. Weaken the neighbours and strengthening the core.

Our club appear to have pushed our side right enough ......out of Edinburgh and far away out of sight.
Perception has got to be they are not really interested.

Easter road pitch has had enough issues in recent years without another team playing on it consistently.

Ron was at the game as the weekend. So if he's gone out of his way to go to Livi to watch it there must be interest. They've also signed a lot of players this season which suggests more focus.

pubs I'd agree with, ease of access not so much. It’s a 5 minute walk from the bus station in Livi, and a similar distance from either train station as ER from Waverley - albeit it’s all downhill going to the stadium, and all uphill on the way back, to both stations :greengrin

Yeah but the bus takes forever, and your life force is drained out of you as your are forced to see Livingston.

I got told on Saturday that They’ve got to use a ground that has seating for 2500.

Why did they move away from Ainslie Park?

Think bod has just answered me

[CMurdoch]

Why would they need 2,500 seats.
I presume they will average attendances of less than 10% of that.

[bod]

Canny mind,had a few beers by then

[Since90+2]

I would imagine they'll get a few hundred at best at Livingston. Will seem virtually empty.

Think they should have played at some where like Meggetland. Decent enough setup close to the centre of Edinburgh.

Nothing to do with seats. Their booking was ended early. Meadow bank isn’t available yet. Livi was basically one of very few options left. I’d imagine they will try and get a 250 seater stand up at HTC soon enough.

Could Meadowbank be a possibility next season? HTC stikes me as being even harder to get to.

Livingston is not too far away from Edinburgh especially when most of the games are on a Sunday and I think the next home game is with hearts which we should beat

No idea. I’m sure they will look at it. Rangers and Celtic don’t even play at decent grounds. Rangers play at the training ground - which I’m pretty sure doesn’t have 250 seats. Celtic seem to change every year. Glasgow City changed again this year.

I was there during the close season Billy.... i can't believe there is 250 seats. Most people were standing when ive been there. Who knows.

Wish they would play at Linlithgow Rose ground, Prestonfield. Pity its all marroon tho!:thumbsup:

56 seats along the top row from a very quick count so under 250 even if all four rows were that size but the lowest row has a good few less seats. Do Spartans not still play at Spartans where we played. Have we been asked to leave that ground.
