I stopped towards the end of last year as I was doing a DD detox on my bank account, with a view to moving house this year. It was a big decision to stop as I always want to do my bit but I wasn’t too clear at that point on Ron’s vision. It seemed like we were getting a plan for a plan from him so I wanted to wait and see what his vision was before starting up again. I never got round to signing up again but I have renewed my season ticket and didn’t look for a refund so I think I’m just about happy enough with doing my bit. I’ll probably look to start up contributions again later in the year once the Covid fallout is a bit clearer but I would definitely be happier to sign up if we had a message from Ron on how the pandemic has impacted his plans and what his strategy is for navigating the club out of stormy waters.

Well Ron was obviously listening and so I have kept my side of the bargain and signed up today. Not at the same level as before but hopefully it contributes to making a difference.

Just a simple plea from a passionate hibby let’s keep this brilliant thread about donating to HSL/HIBERNIAN SUPPORTERS at the forefront of hibs net couldn’t give a toss about our pink chums and what they’re up to when a final descision is made then ok but the situation with our club is far more important please keep donating Ggtth :flag:

Brilliant stuff mate. I’m excited to see how much it grows over the coming weeks. Especially with payday approaching.

Absolutely agree!

[1875STEVE]

Just loving how good this has been so far, hopefully get as close to 1,000 asap :aok:

[SGHIBEE]

Apologies if I have missed it but out of interest how many members does HS have and how much are they sending Hibs a month?

[Greencore]

Just signed up to a monthly donation.

Feels great!

[Since452]

Incredible how much this has taken off again. Hibs supporters never cease to amaze me these days. Well done folks.

[Robbo6-2]

Sounds like there is also been alot of existing donations upped as well as new members which is great.

[Ringothedog]

Just had £15 taken yesterday and then 2 further payments of £15 taken today. I will contact HSL to find out what has happened?

[1875STEVE]

Apologies if I have missed it but out of interest how many members does HS have and how much are they sending Hibs a month?Won't Know until they send the first payment, it was around £40,000 a month before the influx of newbies iirc. They've updated the site and it says 3,300 donators.

I don’t think it was anywhere near £40k a month? It has only handed over just over £100k since the takeover which was a year ago now.

No that’s not right, there is no way there was nearly half a million quid being paid annually before the recent uptake.

I’m sure it was more in the region of £200k a year.

Can only help the club in difficult times. I said to someone on twitter, imagine if could get 10k putting in £10 a month and the difference it would make.

Hopefully it grows more.

Read this thread. Inspired. I'm now back in again having stopped payments after the takeover.

I increased mine the day after the previous amount was taken off, assuming it would be another month before the new payment would kick in. Didn't realise it would cancel the old one and start the new one straight away, so the increased amount came off a day or 2 after the old one. Didn't affect my finances too much, but be aware if that's what you're doing.

[Piqué]

That's me signed up too, gone for a tenner a month. Feels good to be a part of this!

Its not, its coming out in the next few days, a little over a week from the last one.

Im not that bothered tbh, it's a wee bit extra I can afford towards hibs. [emoji106]

I just seen on Facebook HSL announced now over 3300 members.

Even if alk paid the minimum 7.75 that is over 25k a month additional income into the club. That would play a good few salaries that.

You could make a 1 of payment every month depending on your finances, some months you could spare a fixer some months u might chuck in £20 and some months you may not have the money to contribute at all.

You can pay £225 to be a member but you don’t have to contribute monthly after that amount is reached.

Surely if they say we have 3304 ‘contributors’ then all of those will be making contributions? Would be a bit daft to say that if they had contributed once but not anymore.

There are 3304 registered users at Hibernian Supporters at various stages of their membership. Some will make one-off payments, some will have paid their £225 for full membership and stopped contributing, others will pay in every month. Everyone is included in the figure.

[Gerard]

HSL or HS as it is called by some people has shown that it can be an effective means of giving money to the club. The future of HS can be discussed and voted upon at the next AGM. At this AGM the members can decide what is the objective or obectives of HS. They can decide if HS needs to have a name change and all the other ideas that have been discussed. HS members are all equal regardless of how much money they have donated in to HS. All the directors are volunteers and with the exception of the 2 Hibs nominated directors stand for election. HS gives the club all the money donated every month. The money that Hibs get from HSL is useful money that will help the club to be as competetive as it can be with other football clubs in Scotland.:wink:

Hibs fan group HSL reports surge in pledges following launch of fundraising campaign
Over 800 new members since appeal was launched last week

Hibs fans are continuing to rally behind a fundraising campaign to help the club through the coronavirus crisis.

An appeal from Hibernian Supporters Limited (HSL), the club’s second largest shareholder, has resulted in a surge in pledges over the past week, with 800 extra fans now donating to the cause.

The total number of HSL members now exceeds 3300, with the organisation hoping to reach the 4000-mark as it aims to raise £400,000 towards Jack Ross's player budget next season.

It comes after the Easter Road side warned of the need to make cutbacks due to the ‘substantial and unsustainable strain’ on club finances due to Covid-19, with revenues set to be halved.

“The reality is that this is the fans’ chance to increase the budget for players and try and help Hibs make a push to challenge for third spot,” said HSL chairman Jim Adie.

“It is always difficult to catch Celtic and Rangers but without Hearts it should really be between us and Aberdeen.”

The organisation was formed in 2015 with the aim to buy new shares in the club. The ultimate target was owning a 25.1 per cent stake – the total required to have a meaningful say on major issues.

A legal agreement between HSL and Hibs which guaranteed the transfer of shares on the receipt of funds was voided when Sir Tom Farmer sold the club to Ron Gordon last summer. The American-based owner has since confirmed there will be no new shares issued which has left the fans’ group stalled on their current stake of 15 per cent.


Despite this change in circumstances fans are being urged to make donations through the HSL website – hiberniansupporters.co.uk. The sums raised will be collected every month and handed to the club.

“We are taking responsibility for our club,” said Adie. “In a sense we are part owners of the club and with that comes responsibility. We feel we have a duty to step up to the plate both as part owners and supporters. That’s a perfectly reasonable position to have.

“The club has made sacrifices over the years to build the stadium,” he added. “We want to make sure we don’t lose that advantage gained. If we can give the club an extra £400,000, that would be a fantastic thing.”

If this is her first meeting with HSL in a long while hopefully she can help or suggest ways of pushing it to the next level. Outwith 2016 this is the best chance we have of gaining more support.

[truehibernian]

Really fantastic effort from everyone, and even better that LD and the Club are clearly acknowledging the superb contributions made by fans and HSL - let's get to 5000 before the season starts if we can :agree::aok:

[HendoDelivered]

Absolutely great to see the acknowledgement this has been getting. Can’t wait to sign up myself at the end of the month knowing i will be doing my bit to help my club. Will be a good feeling!

So they are no longer contributors then if they have stopped their contributions. I’m not really fussed how many members we have, how many folk made a one off payment of a fiver 5 years ago. Should all be about how many new contributors we have, how many we have contributing to the monthly amount in total, and how much we are sending to the club in future.

The message also has to change from ‘you can pause/cancel at any time’ to ‘contributions are for life’. I’m delighted with the progress that we are making, but the comms have to be so much better. The issue with direct debits has to be better (this issue if you change your direct debit then it takes a brand new payment 4 days later is nonsense), and the website needs a complete remake to make everything clearer and easier.

I get that folk are volunteers but genuinely can’t remember any release asking for any help on any matters.

All those things aside, it’s great to see the momentum behind it, long may it continue.

Every one of the 3304 people who have signed up has been a contributor in some way along to road, personally don’t feel it’s fair to discount people who make one off payments or who have paid monthly previously and then stopped due to personal circumstances. Everyone who has donated £1 to Hibernian Supporters is helping the club.

We are also acutely aware that some people are helping out specifically at this time because circumstances either allow them to or the Covid lockdown has meant they want to. It’s important to make clear that if circumstances change or fans don’t want to donate after the Covid situation has calmed down then they are more than welcome to. Contributions aren’t for life and a message that suggests you’re tied in forever is likely to put more people off than it will attract.

The direct debits are run by GoCardless, the way that platform works is unfortunately out of the hands of anyone at HS. Issues have been few and far between and as a result of a huge spike in interest and new/increased registrations it’s likely that there will be a handful that need to be sorted. Any problems can be dealt with by emailing [email protected] and we’ve been keen to ensure people are aware of this.

On the comms we feel there has been a marked improvement in the last week or so and lots of fans seem to agree. If anyone has any suggestions on what can be done to improve them we are absolutely all ears.

All those things aside, it’s great to see the momentum behind it, long may it continue.

The communications have been stepped up massively and have clearly had a positive impact on the amount of new/reinstated contributors. This has been addressed a few times, but the website is being edited and has been for a wee while, but it's a rather extensive project to make sure all of it is updated whilst remaining functional for new members to join.

The total number of contributors is an important metric and consistency with the way figures are communicated is important, else we'd go from '3000' contributors down to whatever the number of 'active' contributors there are right now.

I think there's more value in praising those who have stepped in to volunteer at a time in which the club needs them, encouraging others to do the same, than there is in detracting from their efforts by telling them what to do. They've definitely shown a willingness to take on fan suggestions in a measured and fair way.

Hi Daniel,

I get that everybody that gave money is a contributor but it might be useful to publicise how many regular contributors you have as well. That way you could set a target of regular contributors, which is often a good way of getting people to sign up.

You could have the current number at the top of the website and publicise when certain milestones have been met (e.g. 500, 750, etc).


Anyway, keep up the good work

:aok:

Think that’s an entirely fair point. It’s certainly something that could be looked at going forward but for the time being I know the board are keen to make sure the numbers are clear and consistent in order to encourage as many people as possible to help the club in this difficult time. We’ll continue to share the ‘new/restarted’ figure as I know that’s one that fans are keen to hear.

As others have said elsewhere in this thread there will be a time to address some of the other issues when things are a bit clearer and steadier. For the time being the focus has been using the platform that Hibernian Supporters have to support the club financially in the short term.

I get that they have contributed, that’s great. I’m really only interested in how much money the club will have on a monthly basis, ie how much is currently being contributed. I’m sure both of those messages could easily be communicated.

On the comms side, my gripe isn’t with the volume of communications, the more the better, and majority of which is positive. But I’ve seen at least 3/4 tweets stating that contributions can be paused/stopped at any time, for me more of the comms needs to be along the lines of contributing for life, rather than just when there is a crisis.

Like I say, the difference is remarkable now. I look forward to the new website also seeing as its being worked on, that’s the final piece of the jigsaw for me.

Another way you can help Hibs without it costing you anything.... if you use Amazon you can go to the site via smile.amazon.co.uk You will then get the chance to add in the charity of your choice. Hibernian Community Foundation is on there. 1% of every purchase will go to that charity. Just another extra thing you can do that will cost you nothing (apart from all the crap you are buying from Amazon!!)

If you go to hiberniansupporters.co.uk then press the log in button at the top right of the screen. Use your email address and password you set when you signed up and then you should be able to see the list of payments on the screen you come to when you log in.

If you’ve forgotten your password there is a link on the log in page. If you have any issues please let me know and we’ll get to the bottom of it, if your payments are going out to GoCardless from your bank then it sounds like it’s still working as planned!

[Pagan Hibernia]

Good to see that Brokeback are saying HSL donations go straight into Ron`s pocket (or Ron the Con as they have hilariously dubbed him - muppets)

:greengrin

absolute roasters. They’re like some brainwashed religious cult, clinging to anything and everything to support their (completely unfounded) beliefs that we’re going bust and Ron’s screwing us over.

at least when we were tick tocking them seven years ago we were actually correct. They were broke!

A reminder that direct debit payments take around 4 working days to come out of your bank - anyone who is looking to sign up to HS and (like lots of us) prefers payments to come out at the start of the month, the next few days are your best time to sign up.

Anyone with an existing DD who would like to move the date of their payments, if you email [email protected] they should be able to sort you out.

Keep spreading the word folks - I believe we're approaching 750 new/restarted sign ups since the start of last week.

750 new/restarted in the last 10 days or so is fantastic, some good traction. Might not hit 4k by the end of the month but won't be far away

It’s even better seeing theirs going into the pockets at Levein, Cathro, McPhee and Stendel and the likes of Oshinawa, Sammon and Berra - funding no cups, below Hibs (again) and relegation is a fantastic FoH effort 😂👍

Over 700 new/restarted donations. Immense tbh.

[BlackSheep]

Upped my Monthly to HSL last week... but also added Hibs Community Foundation to my amazon account... wish I had known about this before lockdown... I’ve spent a small fortune using amazon these last few months and the donation from amazon with every purchase would have been a great amount!

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Another way you can help Hibs without it costing you anything.... if you use Amazon you can go to the site via smile.amazon.co.uk You will then get the chance to add in the charity of your choice. Hibernian Community Foundation is on there. 1% of every purchase will go to that charity. Just another extra thing you can do that will cost you nothing (apart from all the crap you are buying from Amazon!!)

Quality!

Someone will be in touch soon if you’ve emailed [email protected]. There has been a great increase in subscriptions which has meant a few more email enquiries than normal but one of the board will be able to help.

Please feel free to drop me a PM and I’ll endeavour to help in the mean time though!

For the amazon donations, you have to go to smile.anazon.co.uk... and when you purchase you have to start at that address too... the uk doesn’t yet have a smile section so I have added the link to my home screen on my iPhone and just click that instead of the app...

Some positive words from Leeann Dempster on Edinburgh Live this morning:

https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/sport/football/hibs-news-hsl-leeann-dempster-18488348

[jacomo]

All good news. It’s good that HSL have a substantial stake in the club and would be happy for them to get to 25.1% - this would protect Hibs for the long term.

However, I think that is unlikely to happen anytime soon. I’ve been happy to play my part, but am now considering ending my contributions and buying an ST for next season instead, as all the money ends up in the same place anyhow.

[Garymcl]

The support has been brilliant so far with 3000 new members read the piece on Edinburgh live and we as hibs supporters have started to take this to new level we must keep spreading the word in what ever way keep this momentum going and don’t stop contributing to our great club so proud :flag:

I would buy the season ticket mate, that’s the number 1 way to support the club. HSL is great but it’s an additional bonus, ST sales are what the club survives on.

Pleased to say after a number of requests from fans that Hibernian Supporters scarves will be available from next week - with all proceeds over and above cost price going to the club.

They're nice quality scarves with the HS logo at both ends and simply 'Hibernian FC' along the middle.

In the meantime there are a couple up for grabs on the social media channels: Twitter here (https://twitter.com/hfcsupporters/status/1276470438839844864?s=20) and Facebook here (https://www.facebook.com/hfcsupporters).

Welcome aboard to all old and new, we are hoping to be in a position next week to share the £ amount transferred to the club for the first time since the recent surge.

[weecounty hibby]

For some bizarre reason I’d wager that urgency and awareness/promotion are bigger barriers than registering and subscribing.

Im guessing previously there was no perceived need. I’ve not read The Tipping Point but guess this is close to it if not it.

[Scotty Leither]

How many new, and total subscribers are we at now, Daniel?

Also, if anyone is at a loose end this weekend you could do worse than gut your bank account and look at what you're paying for utilitites, insurances, etc. I saved about £45-50 per month, and that's partly what drove me to re-subsrcibing to HSL.

Just need to piuck up the courage to tell my better half that most of the money we saved went to helping the Hibs.

Wish me luck...:hide::worried:

We’ve slowed up a bit over the last couple of days. I’ve not had an email to say we’re up to 800 new/restarted yet which means we must be somewhere between 700 and 800 new/restarts and around 3400 overall donators.

Now would be a great time to drop HS into conversations or group chats with other Hibs pals and family members. Some work has been done on the website to update the text and prevent any confusion on the issue of shares while sticking to the legals.

Also great to have re-confirmation from Leeann Dempster during the week that all funds will be used towards the playing budget. The message is simple, the more we can contribute via HS the more competitive we can be in the transfer window and on the pitch next season and beyond.

Cheers, and I will (and have been) spreading the word. I'll also drop a PM to the Board with a couple of ideas I've got myself.

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but are the HSL Board allowed to keep any donations back for things like a revamp of the website?

It's not my field of experience but I think a really good website and online presence would really kick the donations on - I take it this is in hand?

Thanks Scott.

Yes this has been done in the past - there was a fairly large outlay on the current website which was redone a couple of years ago.

In terms of functionality and messaging I personally think the current website is actually alright - my view is that if you’ve got as far as the website and it says what it’s supposed to and allows you to sign up in a few clicks (which the current site does) then if you want to sign up you will do.

That said if members want work done on the site then the board will listen to any suggestions put to them.

The club have said they’re happy to help us get the word out to the wider fan base so hopefully once the really pressing issues at Easter Road and East Mains are ironed out we can get together and plan a positive way forward.

While I had a Moan about the site this morning, I agree that in the main, it's fine. I would just like to see it updated regularly to keep the message current.

I don't think it needs 5k spent on a complete overhaul but a few tweaks and someone dedicated to the online operation would be hugely beneficial.

[Gmack7]

cmon lads n lassses of the twitteratti get messaging some of our many celebrity supporters and ask them to spread the word, a few well worded tweets promoting HS could make a big impact

Just had a look at the updates to HSL website and good to see the improvements and clearer message. Great that HSL is getting helped with this and as a long standing member, delighted to welcome all new members. Hoping others will join up. Let's get to 4000 members.

While this is true, I like many others spent a small fortune on Amazon deliveries under normal circumstances and during lockdown that has increased exponentially.

It may be a small amount but if thousands of hibs fans were to sign up to this, then it would reap many rewards... and the more money pumped into the community foundation from the fans and other sources, the less the club needs to send that way and can be kept for first team matters.

[JimBHibees]

Just restarted monthly donation. The more the merrier. :flag:

[josef k]

That’s me signed up for a monthly donation also for the first time. Appreciate many of us are struggling financially in the current context. But for those who can afford to, it would be great to see this continue to grow. It will help to see our club through the current crisis, but also will hopefully create a base of ongoing donations that will strengthen us in the medium to long term.

Did you get an email from GoCardless to say the mandate had been set up? It may have fallen into your spam but you should have received an email after getting set up.

We are sorry you have not had as quick a reply as we would have liked, we have quite literally had hundreds of emails to deal with. We are getting through them.

We have had a few supporters who have had a similar experience. When we have contacted Go Cardless on the Members behalf we have been advised by them that every single subscription request and indeed every single payment has an ID number. In other words, what they are saying is that all payments have been user initiated. What they are telling us it that Donators can sometimes mistakenly press the button more than once by accident. This can be compounded by the screen freezing at just the wrong moment thus creating the belief that the desired action had not been successful when in fact it has.

Please allow us to assure all donators or potential donators that Hibernian Supporters will never receive and retain any payment that a supporter had not intended to make. If there are any issues please email us at [email protected]. Under normal circumstances we shall respond within 48 hours but just bear with us at the moment.

It's entirely feasible that I'm just being stupid, but is it as simple as you just donate a tenner and HSL will automatically register that you are now eligible for a scarf, as I couldn't see anything that would allow me to link the payment to the scarf?

For the avoidance of doubt can we please confirm that it is only single, one off donations of £10 ( for collection ) or £15 ( if you want it posted out ) made before 7th July that will indicate to us those Members who are asking for a scarf. We have a limited supply at the moment so best to order now by making the said one of donation.

Donations made by regular monthly Direct Debit will not be treated as a request for a scarf.

Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the .Net audience. We have had 22 new joiners today. Wouldn't it be great if we could get 50 in one day ?

We will update throughout the day .

Another piece from the Evening News online this morning here (https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/hibs-fans-group-hsl-encourage-more-pledgers-leeann-dempster-confirms-donations-will-go-towards-player-budget-2899899).

Good article although I do wish James would stop forever saying HSL will never match FoH. He seems to return to that theme in a few interviews I have seen over time.

I get his point in terms of the starting place and of course we had the ponzi idiots doing their best to torpedo HSL at the start but that’s all in the past now.

Consistently suggesting we can’t achieve or reach something just grates a bit and with Hearts now having Benny their need for FoH is probably less than Hibs need HSL just now.

Just a minor gripe really but in reality there is no physical reason HSL couldn’t get to the same size as FoH...it won’t be easy or overnight but fundamentally there is nothing stopping it doing so, so let’s stop saying that’s the case.

But on a more positive note to finish another 20 odd joiners today is great news and just goes to show that there is still more out there.

The increased publicity Dan and all the rest of the HSL crew have been embarking on is getting its reward and it’s a big well done from me on that!! [emoji106][emoji106]

Thank you for the feedback and it is an absolutely valid point.

You are right and I promise that I will do me best never to say that again. We can achieve those numbers, and it is entirely up to us, the Hibs support to make it happen.

Thanks for the reply Jim and apologies for using your Sunday name in my post ;-)

I 100% agree that their numbers are a stretch and certainly don’t expect you to ever set them as a formal target but as the saying goes we should never say never!

And to re-iterate my last point you and all the HSL volunteers should be roundly congratulated for the time and effort put into this initiative. Let’s hope this is just the start of a resurgence in interest and we can all pull together to keep it going from strength to strength.

[Garymcl]

Great work to you Jim and the rest of the guys doing a brilliant job for the club we all love I along with 2 of my family are monthly donators to the cause I recently got one of my hibby friends to also join for the first time it’s important we all do our bit to spread the news agree there should be no limit to what we can achieve spread the news through all sources of media and maybe get some of our more well known hibbys in the entertainment world to publicise if someone can contact them somehow after all the money goes straight to helping our team that’s the number one priority “we are all hibs” Ggtth :flag:

Thanks for your donation.

For the avoidance of doubt can we please confirm that it is only single, one off donations of £10 ( for collection ) or £15 ( if you want it posted out ) made before 7th June that will indicate to us those Members who are asking for a scarf. We have a limited supply at the moment so best to order now by making the said one of donation.

Donations made by regular monthly Direct Debit will not be treated as a request for a scarf.

[Daniel 1875]

Just had confirmation we’ve clocked up over 800 new/restarted contributors in a little over two weeks.

A truly amazing response from the fan base and great to see more and more people continuing to get on board.

Every donation goes some way to boosting the playing budget at the club and to supplementing a winning team on the pitch.

We hope the website updates and social media is helping get the message across but there is no more effective marketing than word of mouth from fan to fan. If you’re on board already or thinking about joining, speak to your friends or family and let them know what’s going on.

Not everyone is in a position to sign up or to donate and we’ve all got lots of other things on our plates at the moment but every new contributor is a huge boost for us all. Keep up the good work folks!

Just to repeat what Jim said on the Q&A thread, the first payment has been made to the club since the recent upturn in contributors - a combination of direct debit payments and one off donations in June totalled £24,429.11.

I’m sure everyone agrees what a huge boost sums like that will be to the club and playing budget, so keep spreading the word and with a bit of luck we’ll be able to pass that amount and more every month going forward.

this is great news. If, as Jim hopes, we can get at least £20k handed over to the club every month going forward that’s at least £240,000 annually. The difference between buying a player or not. That’s how important HSL can be.

[hibbysam]

Quality going that. Great starting point. Can it be disclosed how many we now have ‘live’ monthly subscribers/amounts? Imperative we keep pushing the subscription being a long term investment rather than a short term fix for the current problems. To compete long term we need these subscriptions, as much as we need season tickets to hold up. Hopefully get up to 1000 new sign ups very quickly.

I was critical of the website previously, but knowing that’s in hand, and that the volume of communications has increased hugely, I take my hat off to these people behind the scenes.

Had an argument with nutters on Twitter still trying to down the appeal, the ‘ponzi’ lot. I’ve just absolutely no idea why any hibs fan would try and belittle a movement by fans to produce more money into the club, which will in turn produce a better team, raise revenues through performance and result in us relying less on these payments.

Well that particular band of hope has as one person commented probably cost the team that we all say we support many hundreds of thousands of pounds which is a very strange way for Hibs supporters to act.

[Alex Trager]

Weird people.

They seem to act as if they are educated in the manner, which if that were the case they would realise they’re talking garbage.

I am sure someone on the PM board mentioned that these folk seem to just have an inherent distrust of anything at board level when it comes to hibs.

First Petrie and Farmer, which all things considered could be understood to an extent.

Then Dempster, again she worked under Petrie, but I have less sympathy with their views on her.

HSL, god knows what more they want from these guys, seems to me HSL are absolutely clear in their motives, no doubt you will be able to view the money HSL put in in the accounts -someone could clarify that?

Then Gordon. They want rid of TF and RP. They get that. Then they’re no happy with the replacement.

The beat approach is to ignore them. Don’t interact with them on socials and spread the good word of HSL as far and wide as you can.

Normally do ignore, however as this was a direct retweet of one of HSL’s good news posts, with a massive dig at the process, I couldn’t let it slide. They’ve probably already cost the club plenty with their original take on it, without slowing down the progress now.

I couldn’t care less about the politics of it all, I want hibs to succeed and have additional money I can give, so I am delighted there is an avenue for that.

[Daniel 1875]

All £15 donations initiated by close of play on Tuesday will be included for the scarves.

We are able to extract all pending payments so anyone who clicks the button by Tuesday night will be included despite the GoCardless processing time.

We’ll then post out all of the scarves we have left before reordering any more from the supplier as required.

If there are any due for postage which we don’t have in stock right now we’ll be in touch with the relevant people to let them know there may be a few weeks wait.

Yes. I joined way back at the start and I’m a fan of increased fan shareholding to at least 26%. Was disappointed the share transfer scheme stopped by Ron and I stopped contributing a few months ago. I’ll start again this month and increase it a bit. Great to see more enthusiasm for it even though no shares. Hopefully that might change and those who are not in favour of share transfers and those who are can both be accommodated whilst all the dough goes to the playing budget.

I feel the same way mate re: shares, was a bit gutted when that rug was swept out from under our feet... hopefully it will be revisited

for now the way I see it the most important thing is to see the club through this difficult period and that’s why I’ve reinstated my direct debit after cancelling it months ago for the same reason as yourself

It’s not something that I thought I would have an Interest in. However now I know that all the money goes into the playing squad I signed up this morning. Was also quite humbled the fact we raised that amount of money.

[Gerard]

I am one of the original contributors to HS. I stopped last month and when the club's financial position was made clear I restarted my contributions to HS. This is a very efficient way to help our club. I hope many people will be able to give as much money as they can afford to do so to HS, who will then make it possible to spend more money on our team making it as competitive as possible. The HS directors are doing good work on behalf of HS.

It is not that simple chippy the entire authorised share capital has been bought up The only way would be for indiviual shareholders to sell their shares to HSL but the board is currently blocking such transactions.My own opinion is we should have a rights issue in the meantime it is important to support the club

I genuinely hope as many folk as possible get on board with this now.

This is the difference between doing something to get the club we want, and hoping that an owner is going you give us the club we want.

Whilst the FOH and HSL are not comparable for a number of reasons (one for the prior being their near extinction) the below does show the difference in monthly contributions. Over £100k per month / £1.2m per annum. That’s a significant percentage of annual turnover.

Throwing 100k in Hearts each month...could just burn their cash, involves less steps and same outcome. Pretty sure they've reached indoctrination/cult levels of dedication, what sane person would keep pumping money into their football club every month while witnessing them signing successions of garbage players. Relegation again as well 😂

well, I suppose they’re going to own the club soon, so with that comes extra responsibility to keep investing. Because, being hearts, they’ll never live sustainably within their means. They never do.

its an extraordinary amount of money that they’ve raised and continue to raise, and they deserve credit for that, but really, if I was a hearts fan I’d be furious about how much money has been wasted. It’s scandalous, yet they prefer playing the victim card rather than directing their anger where it belongs....at budge, Levein and the rest of them

They are a perfect example of why fan ownership can be a worrying prospect. They do deserve some credit for the money they've donated. However, I cant comprehend how they've visibly witnessed their money being flushed down the drain with hopeless managers and hopeless players and yet the rest of the footballing world is to blame for their woes. Exactly what you say.

It is cult-like behaviour. I'll be honest, I won't keep my Hibs Supporters direct debit going if the club is grossly mismanaged. Hibs mean a lot to me but I'm not making sacrifices to hand over money to be thrown away. Mistakes can happen but Hearts have been consistently going backward at great expense.

Should you be commended for supporting mismanagement and blaming everyone else for your woes? No. That's where I am tbh...blaming Dundee United is just delusional stuff.

The incentive for Hibs fans is possibly that we're fairly sure our money wouldn't be mismanaged then?

We all know that FOH was created out of necessity but it's still pretty impressive they've managed to maintain the level of contributions they have and it looks as if it'll continue once fan ownership goes through. Hopefully this will snowball for us too now that's there a sense of fans feeling good about helping out.

I'd suggest for all fans you should stop donating to a football club if you think your money is just being thrown away, people are likely making sacrifices to donate, I mean even £10-£20 a month is hundreds over a year. At the moment Hibs seem to be going about this the right way, not putting bank details on the website and not keeping a Levein type figure in an advisary role while still taking money from fans.

Fans should help their club in order to get greater output on the park or for community initatives. They certainly shouldn't fund failure which Hearts fans have. It's their money, it's their choice. Imagine what good that money may have done to the Gorgie area rather than fund more ridiculous signings.

Fan ownership will likely end in disaster, if politics is any guide. Imagine a big decision which splits the fan-base 55/45 and gets voted through...maybe they would still play the victim card on this one as well, Dundee United to blame?

As I said, I would stop my donations if Hibs had such longterm mismanagement and failure - we aren't doing great but we haven't had such levels of money flying out the door for garbage players, overpriced/late stand project, all of which cultimating in another relegation. It's their money to flush though, just think it is madness and wouldn't be something I'd do for Hibs. I'll persevere and help as much as I can, I certainly won't be emotionally manipulated to live with my head up my posterior though.

If anything we are in a better position to support Hibs Supporters - we haven't be indoctrinated with staunchness, still appears to be respect of individuality and the financial problems that we are all enduring.

Throwing 100k in Hearts each month...could just burn their cash, involves less steps and same outcome. Pretty sure they've reached indoctrination/cult levels of dedication, what sane person would keep pumping money into their football club every month while witnessing them signing successions of garbage players. Relegation again as well [emoji23]

But they still do it
But my point is if we want to raise more money in the present circumstances for our club to use to pay players wages to assist club sign players ,then it gives us an idea of what can be generated and hopefully we don’t waste it like them

The more money donated the potentially more chance of getting a good team of players

What difference does it make to us what Hearts fans are contributing to their club?

Looks like they're planning more of it which is pleasing. Let's do our own thing and not use them as an example of anything to aspire to.

I'd suggest for all fans you should stop donating to a football club if you think your money is just being thrown away, people are likely making sacrifices to donate, I mean even £10-£20 a month is hundreds over a year. At the moment Hibs seem to be going about this the right way, not putting bank details on the website and not keeping a Levein type figure in an advisary role while still taking money from fans.

Whilst the FOH and HSL are not comparable for a number of reasons (one for the prior being their near extinction) the below does show the difference in monthly contributions. Over £100k per month / £1.2m per annum. That’s a significant percentage of annual turnover.

I realise the pledges are voluntary however if you think about it most if not all of these guya are season ticket holders as well.

Essentially these guys are effectively paying between £500-£800 a season for what. A **** team, playing ****, **** low league positions and now relegated.

Fools and their money....

In fairness, not many players I would want from Hearts so more money guarantees nothing. I mean Mallan gets a hard time, from me also, but he is a far better player than pretty much every single one of their signings. Cant think of anybody apart from Hicky so that money hasn't done Hearts much good.

Spent a lot, got little, and eventually got relegated.

Its not the size of the donations so much as who is using the money collected. Can raise £1m a month to burn in a field...sizeable donation with no real purpose other than damaging a field. Damaged fields is something Hearts know something about😉

Wee reminder that anyone who wants a Hibernian Supporters scarf has until midnight tonight to make a new one-off £10 (collection) or £15 (delivery) donation.

The first batch has been snapped up but there’s a new order going in with the manufacturers - we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to get them in the post in around three weeks time for anyone that orders today.

We are sorry you have not had as quick a reply as we would have liked, we have quite literally had hundreds of emails to deal with. We are getting through them.

We have had a few supporters who have had a similar experience. When we have contacted Go Cardless on the Members behalf we have been advised by them that every single subscription request and indeed every single payment has an ID number. In other words, what they are saying is that all payments have been user initiated. What they are telling us it that Donators can sometimes mistakenly press the button more than once by accident. This can be compounded by the screen freezing at just the wrong moment thus creating the belief that the desired action had not been successful when in fact it has.

Please allow us to assure all donators or potential donators that Hibernian Supporters will never receive and retain any payment that a supporter had not intended to make. If there are any issues please email us at [email protected]. Under normal circumstances we shall respond within 48 hours but just bear with us at the moment.

Hibernian Supporters
..it happened to me before so when I decided to make another one off donation this time I was wary .. but ...the screen froze so I avoided clicking again but came back later to see no Pending payment and no email .. so I tried once more this time I got a response on screen... but now I’m on 4 (still counting) debits set up.

The prevalence of this issue is a clear indication that to call it user initiated is unfair and at best simplistic.. and yes I’ve emailed... more than once as those things keep popping up.

That's over 900 new/restarted contributions since the club's statement in mid June. Great stuff.

HSL does a good job and I am a member but you have to give the tarts loads of credit for the contributions to FOH. But can you imagine being so ****ing stupid as to stand by and watch all of that money being wasted on a nearly finished stand and another relegation!! We would have been kicking down the doors of ER if we had done that. They doff their caps and ask queen budge how much more do you want?

Has this not been reiterated and regurgitated to a slow death now? It’s become really ****ing boring and surely something new is needed to poke fun at them about.

Who's pissed on your chips? I'm actually giving them some credit as I feel it's due to them. Pound for pound it must be one of the most successful fan led initiatives anywhere. Just can't believe none of them questions how their money is spent

Pissed on my chips? It’s tiresome man. Nobody can believe it but that and all the other recycled chat gets punted out on here time and time again. There’s nothing new in reiterating the same craic over and over. It was beyond interesting years ago. The thread is about HSL. There must be a million other posts about Queen Ann, Levein and all the rest of it. You don’t like them. Nobody does. Hibs.net has truly reached a Hearts-themed saturation point and it’s become pretty ****ing pathetic.

any chance of a weeks extension for the scarf :greengrin

go on, you know you want to :boo hoo:

Brilliant response from our supporters let’s keep the donations going and hopefully more signings coming our way remember all money goes to improvements to our squad spread the word to family and friends Ggtth :flag:

[Since452]

Just shows the importance of the donations made. The extra money generated recently will have gone a long way to covering the wages of Nisbet, Gogic and Wright. Well done folks.

[BT58]

Methinks HS should rebrand the old Tesco slogan. EVERY LITTLE HELPS !!!( add in OBVIOUSLY for copyright rules). All our donations are helping, hopefully we can get more on board, Brilliant news that signings are very close. Well done ALL

Oops.

[weecounty hibby]

Probably these signings are as good an endorsement of the power of HSL as anything. With the additional contributors and the money handed over to Hibs in a monthly basis is probably paying the wages of the new signings. Great work every one involved in HSL and all who have signed up recently

Ahem, "every little helps" was Tesco,,,,Asda had "Asda Price" with a cheeky little pat on the rear pocket.

I received confirmation of my DD mandate from GoCardless on 21 June but nothing has been taken from my account to date. Is this normal?

[chippy]

A bit of virtue signalling. I’ve been impressed by the increase in membership of HS. I paused my monthly contributions for a few months but have today re started them. I was disappointed in RG stopping the share exchange. However the current health and economic crisis is dangerous and I want to help Hibs. I’m pleased to see there is still ambition to improve the squad through signing Nisbet and Wright. Hopefully Gogic is next. GGTTH

Hi Seveno - it usually takes 4 working days for a payment to be taken once your DD mandate has been set up. If you log in to your account it should show you any pending payments and the date which they were initiated. If there is nothing showing here you may need to re-select the amount you’re looking to donate within your account.

If there’s a pending payment showing thats not come out yet please drop an email to [email protected] and they’ll be able to look at it from the backend.

There is a single payment pending but that is a duplicate of a payment that I made. There is nothing regarding my monthly donation.
