Not putting my opinion over, because I think my opinion of East Mains is well known.

Let me give you a choice:

£24,000 in the KPMG audited financial statements (rent/leases have to be legally disclosed....as do transactions to related parties)
£600,000 is a figure you got told last night by someone???

With no disrespect to your informant.....I know which figure I believe.
And if anyone has any proof to the contrary they can report it somewhere better than on this forum or on a laminated card.

Not got the effort to quote you all...

But I am just saying what I have heard. He maybe heard it as hearsay - but maybe he didn't.

I have gone over the accounts of 2012-13 and it doesnt say we own East Mains, also doesnt say we rent them either mind you.

We will see if anything happens.

For the hard of thinking like me can you explain the rationale behind that ?

Even I could spell Philadelphia correctly. I think the people behind this should put all these facts in an open letter and personally sign it.

Why wait for 2 weeks? If they have the proof, publish and be dammed or sued!

That we are giving £600k out every year, and instead of spending that on producing our talent that we were we are spending it on East Mains?

To produce ZERO in 7 years worth any note is ridiculous when we have the best training academy in Scotland.

Argue that if you wish.

Have another look.

Note 9 on page 14 tells us that the training centre is included in Tangible Fixed Assets at a valuation of £5,450,000. If the club didn't own it that valuation would not be there.

Note 9: Fixed Assets
The Hibernian Training Centre is independently valued at £5.45 million and included as an asset in the financial statements of "The Hibernian Football Club Limited".

1. East Mains is an owned asset of THFCL
2. There are no significant rents or other leases

Not that difficult and I've never even been to Philademphia.

And they are such a good job. We were only 12 minutes from being bottom of the championship for God's sake. I don't care what the structure is we need them gone. I care about MY club they do not.

Hold my hands up to that.

Did I say that??? I am saying that could be a reason if the £600k figure was right.

Maybe the finance gurus could confirm if I am wrong...but if you owned a business and paying a mortgage on premises would this be shown on the balance sheet as an asset still?

And who knows...maybe the link up with Spartans is to get away from East Mains?? Under 20s games are already being moved and I believe the younger age groups are training or meeting up at Spartans now - as are the first team.

Why should they? This is just the latest addition to the long list of unfounded accusations to be slung at STF, RP et al.

I'm not defending them, but make stuff up and you lose credibility.

They have been moved from Livingston so nothing to do with East Mains. His couldn't play u20 matches at East Mains even if they wanted to as it doesn't meet the requirements.

That's because Spartans is the transition academy. Thats what Spartans do, they providing training facilities and coaching for youngsters.

Everyone does have access to the financial reports, they are in the public domain. Sorry to be blunt but anyone believing this is just a gullible fool.

If Hibs issued a statement in response to every thread on here or every numpty who decides to say something they'd need to hire about 20 writers just to keep up.

It's nonsense that's been categorically proven as being so. There's plenty of evidence to prove it's nonsense and absolutely none to back up the spurious claims.

The club don't really need to do anything to respond, as its all in the accounts. To be all snooty and legal about it would be to put themselves in the position of alienating fans, who might have got it wrong, but who care about the club.

Everybody does have access to the financial reports.....but having just wasted £2 to download and have a look at them after reading the rubbish on the flyer I received yesterday someone should give me a refund.

It wont be the Holding Company giving me the refund though.....it doesn't own the Stadium like the flyer says (the football club does as most of us already knew), and its total annual income is the grand total of £24k rent a year.

Nope, I don't think so.

As I said before I can't think of any time the club has replied to such spurious claims, nor can I think of any organisation that would unless its been through the courts.

Given there's probably no money behind the people making these claims that's not going to happen either.

It's difficult to believe anyone on an internet forum that says "A friend told me" and doesn't have any other evidence and who also didn't seem to question said friend any further when he allegedly found out the owner of the club he supports is a nutter.

The real bottom line is Hibs were 12 days (probably) from ceasing to exist all together and Sir Tom Farmer saved us, without him there wouldn't be a Hibs at all.

If the people behind these kind of malicious rumours are the kind of people who want to run our club then you can count me out.

Got it in one.I think the Club is a shambles at the moment,but if the future is to be in the hands of people,who can't read Company Accounts and feel that STF should answer ignorant and defamatory statements,just because they have thought them up without any foundation,after 56 years of supporting Hibs through thick and thin,it'll be time for me to move on.Hibs class?

I do apologise, we were nearly beaten yesterday so I should resort to just making up utter drivel about the owner of our club instead shall I?

Let me ask you this, if these people will lie about the current owner to get him out of the way, what will suddenly make them trustworthy enough to safeguard our clubs future?

Even if they aren't lying, even if they actually believe this stuff to be true, they are still demonstrably wrong and have proven they are not any better than the man currently in charge.

I ask this: Will we see a statement from the people who spread this misinformation tomorrow - since they are inaccurate - offering an apology? I doubt it.

I ask this: Will we see a statement from the people who spread this misinformation tomorrow - since they are inaccurate - offering an apology? I doubt it.

I too used to be a believer, with the passage of time I began to become more sceptical. Call me a heretic if you want. The bottom line for me is that the Farmer/Petrie model just is not working!

By Fair Means or Foul

How long do you have to keep repeating an untruth for it to become true?

why would I put trust in anyone who would resort to spreading untruths as a way of discrediting STF.

I don't think there are many who would disagree with you.

You keep saying this, the fact is we did win the game, it just sounds like you are upset that we won...:confused:

Haha, most definitely not. When I was handed the card in the pub I read it out to the boys and a bloke on the next table said it was 'common knowledge' altho none of us had heard it before. Hence why I asked

Sorry mate - I didn't word my question very well. Are they calling themselves hibileaks or is that the name you've given them?

Hands on Hibs it looks like but they've got two hashtags of #hibileaks and #handsonhibs both of which don't seem to have much activity on Twitter!

As far as I can see, their only activity is people asking them to back up their story.

Not in my eyes WSM ....... but much as I have stated my opinion about him on here, I also want people who say STF is fleecing the club to make these statements at the same time as they present the evidence for it.

Why waste money printing leaflets and waste time handing them out when a 5 minute chat with the EEN would get you half the back page with a story like this .......... unless you had utterly no evidence of course.

#hibiLeaks

Interesting headline grabbing name if spelled incorrectly but I get it.
Have the claims been proven and has the HOH usage been run past any of the founders of that esteemed organisation to at least ask if they approved? If they are not HOH but use it to give credence to the claims/initiative that's a bit offside...

Until these questions are cleared up it's not worth the energy IMO. This drip feeding is juvenile, damaging and serves no meaningful purpose I can see other than self gratification.

Hands On Hibs.

I've just seen a letter sent by HoH to the Board of Hibs stating "on behalf of all Hibernian fans" If anyone from HoH is on here can you please cease and desist. You have no madate from me or many 1000s of hibs fans.

At least the guy is trying to do something rather than moaning and doing nothing. If we all acted like that 23 years ago we would have went under. Only pressure and fan activity saved us from hell.

I don't think they should have claimed to have spoken on behalf of all hibs fans but I'd still be interested to hear the club's response regarding the questions they've raised.

Paul Kane claimed to have the backing of 95% of Hibs Fans. These guys claim to represent all Hibs fans. I dont recall ever been asked my opinion by either group!

More to the point this Hibileaks mob claimed they were going to present evidence proving we were paying Farmer for East Mains. Has anyone seen this evidence? They said it would be 2 weeks and that was more than 2 weeks ago. Where is this evidence? Many were saying they wouldn't be able to say these things if they weren't able to back it up. Now they've moved on to the next stage without telling us what they plan on doing.

Firstly, he's got no right at all to claim to speak on behalf of all of us. Secondly, this stuff has been punted about for months now, and we've yet to see a shred of evidence to back it up. There's no comparison between this and 1990/the real HoH. At that time anyone opposing the Mercer takeover bid could have quite legitimately claimed to speak for all Hibs fans. And the Mercer bid was a fact, not a random assertion backed up by reams of leaflets, but not one single piece of hard evidence.

This is attention-seeking pure and simple. Not in my name.

Really? Who is the guy? Seems he's not even willing to put his own name to a letter... I am not sure how he expects the club to respond?

Why is it that every approach to STF so far has either been underfunded, anonymous, from a Celtc fan, or just plain weird?

Sorry I'm a bit confused by the letter. It states in one paragraph Tom Farmer saved Hibernian for the community. In another that he has promised to pass ownership to the community. Is that true? Two very different statements and i think the latter may be wrong.
