Hibs have been really supportive of this campaign, can only imagine that email will have hit a significant number of mailboxes this morning. :thumbsup:
Good that they shared the video for it as well. It really works with the voiceover on it.

Marc Darcy are the next club partner to back the Hampden £100k initiative. They've kindly donated a voucher for a three-piece suit to the prize pot which all contributors who donate £25 or more in January will be automatically entered into.
Story can be viewed here. (https://hiberniansupporters.co.uk/marc-darcy-support-hampden100k/)
Great to have the support of the club and their commercial sponsors on this.

Not going to lie, I read that as a 3 piece suite at first, I thought "**** me, that's a brilliant prize!" :faf:
Still a very good prize, by the way.
Also, I'm an idiot. Was ready to point out the typo on the story to the wife as well, realised just in time. :greengrin

As a point of reference, and as a target to smash, the Federation of Hearts initiative to raise funds in a similar way for the SC final has its own thread on Kickback
Despite the Cup Final being played on 20 December - they have yet to announce how much their virtual Cup final tickets raised but estimates from the difference in their Nov - v - Dec totals estimate they raised less than £9k
Not having a pop at this amount as these are difficult times but we can do much better than this surely!?!

Good way for some of the HSL materials promoting the initiative to reach fans that aren't on Twitter etc, for sure.
Grant was so quick to step in and help, some guy. :aok:

Hibernian Supporters are encouraging fans to consider donating the cost of their day out at Hampden for the League Cup semi final against St Johnstone to the club via a one off donation to Hibernian Supporters.
The campaign is bold and aims to raise £100,000 for the football budget throughout the month of January, for context this is around five times the amount contributed on a monthly basis.
Supporters who already contribute to Hibernian Supporters can make a one off donation by simply logging in to their account here (https://hiberniansupporters.co.uk/my-account/) and scrolling down to the 'Make a One-Off Donation' drop down.
Fans who do not already contribute can make a one-off payment by clicking here (https://hiberniansupporters.co.uk/donate/) and scrolling down to the 'Let's Give to Hibs' section and then clicking the 'Single payments' tab.
Everyone who donates £25 or more throughout the month will be added to the prize draw to win a signed shirt.
The information is on social media (Twitter (https://twitter.com/hfcsupporters/status/1345330864239104006?s=20) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/hfcsupporters)) and every like, share, retweet and link in group chats will go a long way to help us achieve the ambitious goal.
We'll aim to share periodic updates on this thread as the month goes on.
Let's make sure the club benefit from reaching another cup semi final - hopefully we'll have a final to look forward to and a significant sum of money added to the manager's budget by the end of January.
Already signed up?
Click here (http://bit.ly/hampden100k1) to log in and scroll to the 'Make a one-off payment' drop down menu to select the amount you'd like to donate

Just made my one off payment on the back of the email from the club which reminded me I hadn’t done it.
Incredibly easy for an existing member, no need to put bank or card details, couple of clicks and ‘payment created’.
If we get a positive result at the weekend could be a big boost to numbers next week when a lot of people will have been paid and there will be that feel good factor.

We were at £16705 yesterday, I was waiting until today’s figure coming through before updating but I don’t have it yet.
Note payments are taking around 7 days to filter through to the bank account from GoCardless and Stripe.

Can’t make one-off payment as “no mandate exists”. Bonkers one is needed for a single payment and again backs-up my point earlier in the thread. I would like to understand the reluctance of introducing other, easier, more accessible, free and modern solutions?
Are there bank details I can send to instead? Or PayPal?

Chuck, you can pay by card via Stripe (similar to Paypal) by clicking here (https://hiberniansupporters.co.uk/donate-abroad/) and selecting the 'Single payments' tab.
GoCardless is one of the best direct debit collecting systems available, as Hibernian Supporters mostly serves as a way to collect regular monthly payments from fans this is the main way to pay. It also collects a lower % of every transaction than other providers meaning more money goes to the club.
Paypal is free to use as an individual but there are fees incurred when being used by an organisation. Hibernian Supporters used to have Paypal but changed to Stripe a couple of years ago as the fees are lower.
Thanks for your support.

I can log in to my account . When I try to make a one off payment that way, I am told that no mandate exists.
I have been trying for over a week now. I've sent 2 messages through the website asking for help, without reply.

You can reinitiate your mandate with GoCardless by following this link (https://pay.gocardless.com/flow/RE00185J7F3YF4KCXNMQMBVGGGF4KPZZ), it may have lapsed which is why you’re receiving the error message.

It’s dependant on your bank authorising the direct debit mandate but it should be done fairly quickly.
You should get an email from GoCardless titled ‘You’ve set up a direct debit’ saying the mandate has been set up and once you have that you’ll be able to make a one off payment after logging in.

Great to see donations coming in thick and fast. If you can send off a few texts before the weekend to fans who you might have been going to the game with to let them know what’s going on it will make a big difference.
It looks like we’re getting the message to those on social media, forums and by email but with Covid there is certainly a section of Hibees not online who we’d love to get the message to. The only way we can do that at the moment is by word of mouth - every conversation counts!
Keep up the good work all.

100k is a huge ask but i think we’ll smash our normal monthly donation by a considerable amount and that’s a fantastic achievement in itself in the dour month of January with a pandemic on.
and when you consider Killie and other clubs struggling, I’m sure our club are very grateful for anything let alone tens of thousands of £££ extra pouring in each month.

I tried to donate to the Hampden appeal today.Clicked the donate only and amount buttons. Next screen wanted my email presumably to send an acknowledgment but also a password-don’t know why as I’m not joining anything so I ignored that and clicked donate and was taken to a direct debit screen-not wanted of course and I couldn’t progress the donation. I’ll have another shot at it as I must be doing something wrong but it seems unnecessarily complicated for a simple donation/payment.

I agree. I went ahead and did it by direct debit as a one off payment as there didn’t seem to be another option but I will be making sure I cancel that instruction after the £25 has been debited.

If you selected one off payment it will only be a one off payment according to Jim Adie.
It is entitled direct debit but it is not a recurring payment

Have to say i'm a little disappointed in this..... £25 for 4000 fans.... where are all those who stood out celebrating our Scottish Cup win in 2016....?
Less than 800 donations by my count... I donated for the 2 Sts I hold.... as many other will have as well so that 800 drops too....
I know times are hard, but we have 11,000 ST holders, yes we've not seen a game in the flesh, but while we witness other clubs struggling, we are out there signing players and trying to do well.
C'mon everyone, let's do this!

Aye, but we have to keep in mind that it's tough times for a lot of folk out there.
Hopefully, if you're Hibs minded, and you can, then you will.
I've fired my £25 over, won't be paying Premier Sports but will listen in on the Hibs Pass audio stream.

I had the same problem yesterday and had a lot of issues trying to make a card payment rather than a DD.
After faffing about for a while I switched off my popup blocker and tried again and the option to payment by Stripe was visible? It took 2 minutes to make the payment after that, it was easy and straightforward and I received the payment confirmation email instantly.
Anyone having the same issues may want to look and see if they have a popup blocker in use on their device. 👍🏻

Aye, but we have to keep in mind that it's tough times for a lot of folk out there.
Hopefully, if you're Hibs minded, and you can, then you will.
I've fired my £25 over, won't be paying Premier Sports but will listen in on the Hibs Pass audio stream.
Agree entirely.
Done the same, was going to try premier but Hibs Radio for me and another donation here instead.

Good point Bobo and thanks for raising this.
The website takes card details using a pop-up from Stripe - your web browser should alert you to a pop up being blocked on the right of the address bar if there’s a pop up blocker in use and will give you the option to allow it to make a payment.

Maybe some fans think they’ll just be let down again .... like the other semi final a few months ago?
If that is their thinking then they should definitely be the ones donating!
This campaign is to raise additional funds for the football operations budget eg Signing new players!

Understand why but shame this was 100k as I think it was a difficult ask to get us there at this time. Don’t know where all the wealthy Hibs fans are hiding :hmmm:
If we can hit 30k+ then I think it is good going. Even better if some become regular contributors, even £5 a month would be huge if all our ST holders put that in each month. I always think about money I would spend in shops etc., sometimes through “lavish” greed (normally food or drink while out...obviously not so much now!) and consider whether I’d be happier giving that £5 to Hibs. Not everyone is in the same situation and you need to do what is best for you.
Club can’t guarantee success but we’re starting to build a strong squad. I hope we can get more fans onside, only if they can afford of course!

Today's banked figure for the month is £21,633, which includes payments initiated up to around 14th January.
Keep spreading the word folks - texts, calls and messages to friends and family will go a long way to reaching every corner of our support.
There's been a really heartening flow of messages today from people making their donations - some regular contributors and others who have never contributed to Hibernian Supporters before.

I’ve posted something similar on the Killie thread but the current figure (albeit only up to 14th Jan) isn’t anything significantly more than we would expect it to be any other month without the initiative.
Great that HSL are trying, volunteering and pushing and also great that some are digging deep but it’s a bit underwhelming with two days to the game and maybe it was all just a bit too adventurous.

O.K. then Dan,
Maths is no my best subject but I reckon that the figure above is up to 14th Jan right.
An average month (last month say) 30 whole days was around £21,250 right.
So over a little less than half the time we have raised more than the whole of last month right.
I call that bloody amazing, during a pandemic and everything that goes wi it.
Tremendous effort by all and there is still another 17 days in Jan left to bring in cash from the people who can afford to give. Who says you need to stop after the game! We could well crack £50,000 or more so what is there to moan about or even a tiny whinge ffs. No time for pessimism we are all Hibs.

:agree: Iggy has been a vocal supporter of HSL and this initiative as far as I can remember.
Adding £2k per day to the total would mean there's £15k in the pipeline so even stopping today could mean there's £35k raised already, Saturday £50k?
I've noticed a lot more Facebook and Twitter activity since Saturday so it may be there's a higher figure already raised and of course a win could really keep things going.

I think this campaign is commendable and if we win this weekend I'd hope we keep it running for the final.
A couple of points I would make. Encouraging people to make a donation is great and it's certainly something I'm pleased to see people doing. However I think some people need to consider their tone a little bit. It's lean times for a lot of people and there's the odd comment on here and elsewhere that verges towards trying to shame people for not donating. I've donated but I had to really think about it, £25 isn't a throwaway amount of money for me at the moment and no matter how much I want Hibs to succeed there are other things that take priority.
Secondly very few people want this to fail. There are those who will never get onside with HSL and no amount of encouragement is going to change their minds. However the vast majority of people are at best supportive or at worst indifferent. I think there have been some valid points raised about the way the initiative has gone and that kind of feedback will hopefully be taken on board when different things are tried in the future.
On that note I would say that ambitious targets are always good. However when marketing any 'product' you have to create demand or at least the illusion of demand. An example of this in a footballing context would be the frenzy around tickets sales when they are going well. Dot counts pop up on here, Twitter, Facebook and suddenly no one wants to miss out. That in turn sees more people buy tickets, feeds the frenzy and continues to drive the demand. £100K was certainly an ambitious target and theoretically an achievable one but it was always going to rely on the support of people who, for one reason or another, aren't currently contributing to HSL. Over £20K and rising is nothing to be sniffed at but it probably lacks creating that frenzy or hysteria that people want to be part of, if we were closing in on a target people would feel more inclined to help push us over the line. There may be a lesson there that a more modest target in the future could be of potential benefit. If for no other reason than it gives the ability to market it as 'we smashed our target' rather than '25/30/35% of our target is still a good effort'. I would also argue that having a separate pot for the donations directly linked to any initiative would help differentiate it from the 'routine' monthly totals. Again that creates the impression of being part of something potentially special.
I hope that's taken in the constructive manner it was intended. The people who volunteer to help out HSL have really stepped up this season and I take my hat off to them.
Daniel 1875

One thing I would say is that it’s still early in the day to be judging the success of the campaign and/or reflecting on it.
The lag in payments clearing in the bank is unfortunately unavoidable but does mean that inevitably the numbers may not be as high as quickly as some would hope in relation to the match itself.
The reality is that we’ve more or less beaten the December contribution for the whole month within the first 14 days of the hardest month of the year for many people in normal circumstances, never mind during a pandemic.
We are tracking at around £2,000 a day which is significantly more than any month in the history of Hibernian Supporters - and this figure is made up of people contributing more than a week before the match we’re using as the focus of the fundraising and before the club database received an email about it.
This campaign will run until the end of the month whether we reach the cup final or not and the banked total will continue to rise between now and next Thursday even if £0 is donated on the website between now and then.
We won’t know the final success or otherwise of this until around 7th February when all payments are cleared. In the meantime we plan to keep beating the drum and keep encouraging those who can to donate while not belittling or embarrassing anyone who can’t - we hope we’ve kept the right tone so far in the hardest of times.
Thanks so much to everyone who has donated, commented, texted or tweeted so far - let’s hope we can make a significant different come the end of the campaign and regardless of the final total I hope everyone is proud of the magnificent efforts.

You're not far off.
Can I confirm that around five minutes ago we had just over £24,000 in the pipeline. This refers to funds that are now in the process of being collected and should be with us over the next five days.
Can I take this opportunity, on behalf of everyone at HSL, to thank all our fellow supporters who are not Members/regular contributors of HSL who have very kindly donated to this initiative. While you may not want to or indeed are unable to join us, we are all Hibs supporters and in this case we are supporting a common goal - helping our Manager to get us into Europe.
On this occasion we have tried really hard to reach out to those supporters who are not our Members or indeed may not be Season Ticket holders but who would have gone to Hampden. If you are in that group, and you can afford it please go to www.hiberniansupporters.co.uk
If you know fellow supporters who are in this group please feel free to text a pal or share on social media. We have many supporters who are waiting on payday before donating so with this in mind rest assured, with your help, this target is possible.
Like many other Clubs, our Club has suffered badly this season so if you are in a position to help please feel free to do so.

£24k that’s still looking like being added to the £21k already collected if payments are successful Jim? That’s outstanding. A great effort and still time to keep pushing. Like mentioned above, no shame if people can’t donate but no harm in making people aware. Regardless if it hits £100k, it’s already been a massive success.

Hope I'm not one that needs to watch tone. Apologies to you and anyone else if I am. The "only what you can afford to give" is one of the best things about HSL and the general messaging. To be perfectly honest if that wasn't the message I think it wouldn't be in keeping with what I want anything "Hibs" to be about. I want Hibs to be successful but I don't want anything, especially something substantial like this, to lose the social responsibility aspect.
Hope we can keep the positivity going in this campaign but I equally hope everyone looks after their own lives first. Id prefer we came out of all this with 13k+ healthy fans turning up to the games every other week than anybody putting themselves financially out now. Only give if you can should remain the message!
I agree that the volunteers deserve much credit for taking this on, great job all involved.

Wasn't aimed at anyone as an individual. Just a general comment on a couple of things I've read over the last couple of days on various platforms. Nothing that has been said has been explicitly wrong but I think there can be subtle differences in how things are said that changes how they are perceived.
To clarify my own post I want to be clear I'm not looking to be negative about this campaign. It's a great effort both from those involved in organising and those contributing. Whatever happens from here on in with £45-50K minimum looking likely then it's been a success. I just think it's always healthy to reflect on how something is going throughout and how it has gone after the event to ensure that success is replicated or improved upon in future.

Having read, followed and supported the campaign and this thread, I sense a slight overreaction here. A couple of slightly out the of context posts, particularly later on this page, but I would beg to differ and say there is very little to be concerned about in respect of tone. For this madhouse it’s pretty mild overall, with much to commend the approach to “encouragement”.

It took me until this week to be able to do this donation. It’s a bad time of year and most people are on a 6 week month. I’m usually pretty carefully with my cash because of my away ST but that control has gone out the window cause of no football to go to. Saying all that £100k is 4000 people donating £25 each so it is definitely achievable and I hope there will be an upsurge in donations come payday next week. Great initiative and great work by HSL, this is certainly the most visible campaign I’ve seen on social media from them so far.

Thanks for your generosity OTG. I think there were a lot of fair comments about visibility made previously. Hopefully we can keep making the right noises in the future.
As ever, only donate what you can, and IF you can. A lot of things that are far more important than football, particularly right now.

500 folk just spent £50 on the LS500 shirt.... that’s £25k in less than 3 hours....
Why has this campaign taken at least 2 weeks to reach a similar figure?

Maybe because people are actually getting something directly for their money? I don’t think it’s fair to compare the two
Some people already contribute monthly and may not want to pay any more. Some people may not be in the position to do it yet due to end of month payday. Some maybe cannot afford it.
I’m a monthly contributor but will also pay my £25 over next week 👍

People are buying an item with the Stevenson shirt.
People are giving away money for the Hampden100k initiative.

I wouldn't call it giving away money to be fair to HSL, its a vital income stream for the club during a hard time for businesses everywhere.
A £50 training shirt with some extra printing on it will come and go, but supporting the club finically could be the difference in us going under, just look at Killie.

The figure brought in for the whole of December was just less than £22,000.
In a normal month we’d probably be around the £10,000 figure midway through the month.

While you're right that the money going to HSL will be making a difference, there is no tangible return on your money. So from an individual perspective, one is buying something, the other is giving away money.

It took me until this week to be able to do this donation. It’s a bad time of year and most people are on a 6 week month. I’m usually pretty carefully with my cash because of my away ST but that control has gone out the window cause of no football to go to. Saying all that £100k is 4000 people donating £25 each so it is definitely achievable and I hope there will be an upsurge in donations come payday next week. Great initiative and great work by HSL, this is certainly the most visible campaign I’ve seen on social media from them so far.
Oscar
Thank you for your kind words. There has been a number of people involved in this, all fellow Hibees and volunteers.
Our analysis of this was as straightforward as yours. We thought as many as 2000 of our existing Members may have contributed and perhaps as many as 2000 supporters who have never donated but who would have attended Hampden. For that reason we believed the target was achievable and indeed remains achievable. Word of mouth is best so please feel free to reach out to a fellow supporter.

Message from Jack Ross
We have just received a delightful call from Jack Ross. He has asked us to pass on the following message to all our Members/Donators.
“I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to everyone involved with Hibernian Supporters and their Hampden 100k campaign, whether it’s the volunteers behind the scenes or those who have kindly donated. I speak on behalf of the club when I say we would have loved to walk out to a sea of green and white at Hampden tomorrow and we’re looking forward to having everyone back as soon as it’s safe to do so. In the meantime, the support we’ve received in these unprecedented times has been incredible and greatly appreciated. We know it’s a difficult time for everyone and it’s been heartening that so many are still going above and beyond for their club. It’ll be in our thoughts at Hampden. Enjoy the game.”
Rest assured our donations right now are making a difference. Please spread the word to other fans who you think would have been at the game tomorrow and encourage them to visit www.hiberniansupporters.co.uk

This is why results and performances like tonight are so damaging.
The guys at HSL have come up with a great idea and have really run with it. There was a bit of steam behind it and a win tonight would have seen us getting pretty close to the £100K. As it is all the momentum is stopped in it's tracks and there won't be one solitary one off donation made from this point on.
Clubs are always looking for fans to contribute that little bit more and more often than not the fans stand up and are counted when it matters. The club and team have to do their bit as well though and tonight they most certainly did not. I'm not one for threatening to not renew a ST or discontinue my HSL subscription or whatever but this is different. This is another bit extra over and above and it needs momentum. That doesn't exist now and thus the campaign will fizzle out rather than going from strength to strength.
Anyway well done to all involved for a very good effort. Hopefully when the dust settles we can run with something similar in future.

The only danger to us finishing 3rd/4th is Livi, the rest will be hoping for 6th. It will take a real collapse for us not to finish outside the top 5. We really should have been challenging for 2nd with a better manager though.

We’ll finish fourth. Agree with your last sentence, decent manager has us challenging for second. That’s not me saying we should be finishing second, but that opportunity won’t be there next year. This is a season of opportunities missed.

Stuff like this, and any fundraising/marketing when trying to raise cash for Hibs, is always at the mercy of the team doing their bit on the pitch. It was looking like we might have hit the incredibly ambitious target of £100k with a decent result last night and a bit of wind in our sails.
As can happen in football sometimes we’re now dealing with people asking HS to hold on to the money until a different manager can spend it, asking for a refund, asking the owner to put his hand in his pocket etc etc.
Hibernian Supporters is there to back to club financially through an incredibly difficult period just now and it will continue to do so win, lose or draw. We’re all disappointed with the result last night but regardless of that the Hampden drive is going to raise a significant sum of money for the club - the club we all support and will continue to support regardless of who’s in charge or who is the principle shareholder.
The frustration is understandable and I anticipate a few hostile replies to the first post that goes out from the HS social media accounts next time we have an update on the sums raised this month but if we stopped trying to help every time Hibs turned in a disappointing result we wouldn’t get very far, would we?
A thanks again to everyone who has backed the drive so far, I’m sure there will be some contributions coming in between now and the end of the month as the dust settles - fingers crossed we can deliver a decent sum of cash to help the club make the most of the rest of this season and beyond.

Ridiculous comments about fellow fans. If I consider cancelling my DD, I’ll do that on my own accord, thanks. If anything comments like this encourage me to do so.
During pandemic there is certain times I couldn’t give a damn about Hibs as quite frankly there are more important things in life. So if I stop my donations I will have 0 guilt.
Maybe club could sign a CB or strikers instead of signings centre mids constantly?
Irony in this is your post is a negative rant.

Haha nice condescending post. Let me get this straight, those deciding to not sacrifice money for Hibs are fine as everyone is entitled to do that but anybody considering stopping their donations because we got humiliated by St Johnstone are just ‘fans’.
Don’t think you understand sacrifice and what bad things do to decision making. Probably can’t see it from your pedestal anyway.
If stopping my donations suddenly makes me a ‘fan’ then you can call me a ‘fan’ pretty soon as I’ve had enough of this condescending attitude while I sacrifice hard-earned cash to Hibs.

Do as you need to... if it’s based on a poor result I’m entitled to feel disappointed in you and any others who decide to cancel HSL contributions down to a few poor results.
If you are cancelling as you have other needs that the money will go better towards then as I have already said do so as well. Supporting the club through HSL is not a right, it’s a privilege... no one is asking to put the cause before more important things.
I don’t sacrifice any of my hard earned cash on HSL... I donate an amount that I deem affordable, if I couldn’t afford to then I wouldn’t donate... poor results won’t change my opinion on whether it’s ‘worth it’.

Do as you need to... if it’s based on a poor result I’m entitled to feel disappointed in you and any others who decide to cancel HSL contributions down to a few poor results.
If you are cancelling as you have other needs that the money will go better towards then as I have already said do so as well. Supporting the club through HSL is not a right, it’s a privilege... no one is asking to put the cause before more important things.
I don’t sacrifice any of my hard earned cash on HSL... I donate an amount that I deem affordable, if I couldn’t afford to then I wouldn’t donate... poor results won’t change my opinion on whether it’s ‘worth it’.
You aren’t entitled to feel disappointed in me whatsoever. Your posts definitely show you feel entitled but ultimately I do what I want with my money when I want.
I’m just a ‘fan’ so I’ll stop my DD this week. Wasn’t going to but I won’t be treated like a lesser fan because I’m deemed to be negative. I’ll leave making donations to the honourable that are able to step up and become true fans. Done with this rubbish, always fans fault.

You’ve lost it mate... huge chip on your shoulder!
And yes, I am entitled to feel however I feel about whatever I want to pass judgement on, it’s bloody human nature to have an emotional reaction to something, to anything and in this instance I’m feeling disappointed in someone cancelling their support for the club down to one specific result.
You’ve made this completely about yourself, and I’ve obviously hit a nerve with my ‘fans’ comment.... so be it, but that’s my opinion and guess what, I’m entitled to form my own opinion as well.... regardless of what anyone says or thinks, that’s my choice and I’ll stand by it.
Not once have you come out and said you have other financial needs that are now worth it more than donating to hibs...you’ve simply said, and I’m paraphrasing, ‘we played rubbish last night so I’m cancelling my donations’... your priorities are your own and not once have i suggested you shouldn’t stop your DD, only that in my opinion doing so on the back of a poor result seems not really in the spirit of the whole thinking behind HSL.

You stand by your ‘fan’ nonsense all you want. This measurement of a fan that seems to get done by those holier-than-thou is tiresome. Driven me away from contributing anymore. You made it about me by calling out who you perceive to be ‘fans’.

Is almost like you expect something in return for your ‘sacrifice’.... jeezo!
HSL have been more than humble about the support they’ve received... what else do you expect?? They’ve even put your name on a shirt... that’s something special, but you obviously want more.
I don’t think many folk would say hibs are more important than most things in their life... not sure what point your making there... unless you are saying you have actively given money to HSL over more important aspects of your life... if that’s the case I think it’s a good thing you cancel as if you need to use the cash elsewhere then do so... football is not worth struggling financially for anyone.

Where have I suggested anything in return? You’re now doing ‘sacrifice’ as well. You show a complete lack of respect.
HSL have been very respectful about situations etc. and they are doing a great job. Never said anything about that.
You however have done ‘sacrifice’ and ‘fans’ and seem to think you can judge any decisions I make regarding HSL. I’m done with it because of that. You have absolutely no right.

It’s not a charitable donation, it’s to help fund a football that is dear to all of us on here.
To stop contributing because you are struggling financially is completely understandable, to stop contributing because of one result or because you have taken offence to something an internet stranger has said is completely childish.

Any money you do give is a sacrifice, even £5 a month is a coffee or a lunch. Maybe one should think in those terms on his pedestal. You are giving money you could spend elsewhere. You are sacrificing the choice by monthly sub that takes that money.

Nope.
I budget my salary and decide what goes where... nothing is a sacrifice.
Sacrifices are hard... giving money I ‘could’ spend elsewhere to Hibs is my choice, and it’s not a hard choice.
You say you don’t struggle but are equating a £5 donation to not buying a lunch or a coffee.... that’s not a choice I, nor many HSL contributors, nor fans buying tickets or buying a pie at the game are making.
If it were then it would be an easy choice... it would be the former.
If it were the latter then I think I’d need my head examined.

Said poster chose to direct his tirade at me after I posted my opinion on the general comments floating around cancelling/asking for refunds due to last night’s result.
His decision to cancel is his own and I very much doubt my contribution is the sole reason... in fact if it was he who had made the comment about cancelling prior to my OP on the subject then it’s more likely he had made up his mind long before my contributions.
As another poster has pointed out, if his decision was initially based on one result then its a bit childish... this was the pint I had made, it struck a nerve that I used inverted commas to describe those who were of the same opinion as he.
To lump any blame on me is just deflecting from his initial rubbish suggestion.

On that note it would be great to get the thread moving back in a positive direction if we can, there are plenty of threads on the go where we can discuss our frustrations about last night.
Regardless of the result yesterday and what comes in from generous supporters between now and the end of the month I think this has been an excellent example of fans pulling together to try and help our club.
It’s been heartening to read people coming forward to help, with supporters groups and individual fans rallying together to contribute. We’ve even had fans donating over and above to make up for others who may have been unable to contribute in these tough times.
Whatever the total is by the end of the month we’ll have raised a significant sum of money which might have allowed us to strengthen the squad this month where we’d otherwise have been unable - it may allow us to strengthen further between now and the transfer deadline.
The last thing we want to do is isolate anyone who does or doesn’t donate - this initiative has been a positive thing so let’s try and finish it off with a flourish rather than an argument.

Never did I question your donation or non donation as a reason for being a fan.... I did however question your reasoning to suggest cancelling based on last night as poor reason that I would not liken to a fan of any club.

I was as pissed off as anyone else after yesterday. I actually was thinking about whether or not I would renew my ST for the coming season. Anyway after sleeping on it I have decided to renew as usual, I will also be making a second donation to the HSL 100k for Hampden effort as well as my usual DD contribution. I'm lucky I suppose that I can afford it but Hibs are more than one result in one game. If you can afford it please keep donating, if you already have what's the point in asking for a refund? If you can't contribute due to finance issues then don't do it but please don't chuck it due to one, admittedly horrific, performance

I am not an Uber fan, I started to contribute because I saw the impact it has at clubs who are our direct challengers. It is a fairly new initiative in football, but one which a team like Hibs can't afford to overlook.
I fully get that not everyone can afford it or shares my view and I respect that.
Football clubs are important to communities and worth safeguarding. I don't expect anything in return for my donation other than it benefits the club. Yesterday was a bad result, but football is strange at the moment without fans. Players may feel jaded. Lots of elements in play and in cup football you get bad days. Losing to Livi in the final, Hearts losing to At Mirren in the final, Celtic losing to Raith in the final. Trophies that should have gone one way but didn't.

Hey madh I had some random have a go at me as well, it's just an internet forum **** them, it is perhaps even more important now that we stick with Hibs, and if anyone can then keep giving, if you cannot afford then please don’t and use your cash for some other reason. don’t allow others to dictate how you feel or to dictate your behaviour in any way. we are all Hibs, i will keep going and that could be with a new manager or without it is a remarkable thing we are all trying to help with. I would hope that all who can afford it re-new efforts to give even more as some have hinted, great stuff, we are all in this together as We are all Hibs.

On the argument regarding a return I am looking for a return, maybe not a physical return but I want the money to be used wisely and appropriately and for Hibs to be better on the pitch. I want Hibs to be getting into cup finals and qualifying for Europe. When we put extra money (over and above ST and merch) and see performances like the one against hearts and the since the Ross county game onwards it does make you wonder where the hell that money is going.
I don’t blame anyone for stopping their d/d on performances, is that different to someone taking a break or packing in their ST? As someone said above it’s their money let them do what they want with it. Let’s face it, if we won yesterday this conversation wouldn’t be taking place it’s all on JR and the team.

Jan 2nd was the 50th anniversary of my first Hibs game. 2-2 at Easter Road v Cowden- ****ing - beath.
It was **** then, it’s been **** in between and it was **** last night.
But every now and again magical wee moments happen, like the one in your avatar, and I remember why we all bother.
You’ll feel better after a while, this will go away and there’s not a question of any fan being a better one than the other outside of the usual juvenile ‘see who can pee the highest’ crap we endure on here and other parts of social media.
We all just get on with it so that the Hibs are still there to boot our baws!
Cancel if you like, it’s only your choice to make. But you’ll be back, you love them as much as the rest of us.

Can we first of all say thank you very much for your support to date. As we have said many times before, we should always put things in context and if your donation to HSL is difficult, please don't make it. Supporters should only donate if it is spare cash that they won't miss.
Every one of your Directors and our other volunteers are all Hibs daft so we felt the pain of Saturday just like everyone else. Hampden Hoodoo, or whatever we want to call, it just hurts hard.
We do however have to move on. Hibernian Supporters Ltd is the second largest shareholder in the Club and from the outset we have taken that responsibility seriously. As with any other business, shareholding is for the long term and in our case, probably forever.
To all those supporters who have made a donation to the Campaign after 7.30pm on Saturday, thank you. It’s not easy to “buy” a ticket for a match that you know we have already lost. Prior to the result on Saturday we had high hopes of getting close to our target. Hitting our target would be great but as many others have said this initiative was simply about helping our Club through this difficult period and making more funds available to the Football Dept. We continue that Campaign as planned. We owe it to all the supporters who have helped us with this initiative. We owe that to our fellow supporters who are not Members of HSL and prefer to click the “donate only” button.
So, once again, can we appeal to all those who had intended to donate to this initiative and stick with us.

Hitting our target would be great but as many others have said this initiative was simply about helping our Club through this difficult period and making more funds available to the Football Dept. We continue that Campaign as planned. We owe it to all the supporters who have helped us with this initiative. We owe that to our fellow supporters who are not Members of HSL and prefer to click the “donate only” button.
So, once again, can we appeal to all those who had intended to donate to this initiative and stick with us.

This is why results and performances like tonight are so damaging.
The guys at HSL have come up with a great idea and have really run with it. There was a bit of steam behind it and a win tonight would have seen us getting pretty close to the £100K. As it is all the momentum is stopped in it's tracks and there won't be one solitary one off donation made from this point on.
Clubs are always looking for fans to contribute that little bit more and more often than not the fans stand up and are counted when it matters. The club and team have to do their bit as well though and tonight they most certainly did not. I'm not one for threatening to not renew a ST or discontinue my HSL subscription or whatever but this is different. This is another bit extra over and above and it needs momentum. That doesn't exist now and thus the campaign will fizzle out rather than going from strength to strength.
Anyway well done to all involved for a very good effort. Hopefully when the dust settles we can run with something similar in future.

We are sure that this is one of those occasions when you are delighted to be proved wrong.
Can we thank the supporters who have continued to make donations since Saturday night. Also, can we extend our thanks to St Giles Branch who have also donated post Saturday night.
We remain hopeful of donating a significant sum and can only hope that those supporters who had intended to donate come pay day still do so.
Once again, thank you to everyone who has donated thus far.

Dundee United fans giving their club £100k. There a wealthy owner as well and never even got near a semi final. :greengrin

Don’t understand the model they have as a a fans group...
They gather money as a fans group and then vote whether to give it to club? Seems very strange, what’s the options on the ballot...
I’m sure these are funds that would’ve been for the fan group itself being repurposed or something but surely given pandemic the options were:
Give to club

We are starting to see the impact of donations made last week on the banked total, which now sits at £40,506.
Thanks again to everyone who has donated this month and to those still planning to donate. The goal remains the same as it always has, to provide significant financial support to the club at an important time of a strange season.

That's an excellent amount. Putting aside the garbage performance from the team, it's a tremendous effort from the fans.
And well done to HSL for the effort in promoting it.

That's great news if folk have been continuing to donate after Saturday's dire result. They clearly manage to shake off disappointment/anger quicker than me! Fair play to them.
I paid my £25 last week and bearing in mind that Jack Ross said before the game that the players would be inspired by the fans' generosity when they took to the Hampden pitch I think we were entitled to feel extremely let down by them. Despite the ongoing loyalty from some, Pretty Boy is surely right to suggest there will be a significant decline in donations now and it might do the players no harm to be reminded of what their half-hearted second half display is costing the club.

Maybe better bypassing the club and offering money as a bonus to the players.

Maybe winning semi finals, obviously they would need to earn it 🙄

Sorry but you are so very wrong in referring to Pretty Boy's quote. I suggest you read his post again.
HLS came on and told people what was happening, not what Pretty Boy thought would happen.
No doubt Pretty Boy probably was feeling like the rest of us and probably was blowing off some steam. I'm sure his ire was directed at the team and not HSL.
When things are so raw and fragile just now during these troubling times, it helps not to create false negativity.

I’d like to take this opportunity to retract my cynicism. Great effort all contributors and organisers.

Well done to all concerned. The fans and HSL have done the club proud with this effort. A final total of £45.000 beckoning?

We are sure you will be very pleased to hear that we are managing to beat your estimate. To date we have banked over £46,000 with £000's more pending. As we said before it can take up to seven days for payments to wind their way through the system.
We have, as expected, seen a decline in donations as our momentum was impaired with the result. On the positive side we are incredibly heartened by all those fellow supporters who have stuck with their pledge and donated £25 from their pay. We are also still getting new Members joining, including a lump sum payment of £225 this morning ( you know who you are ).
As ever our aim remains the same, to give the Club a nice January boost at these very difficult times.

An incredible sum of money. 50k or there abouts is not to be sniffed at. Whoever donated that £225 take a bow.
Well done to everyone who has embraced this campaign and who have been able to donate in these very uncertain times.
Well done all.
