Yeah I think it was that. I'm not sure if I heard a comment saying "at the best" in relation to the 15% or if I misheard.Quote:

Hopefully. I took the 15% as the hibs sell on.Quote:

Here come the Season Tickets.
Hoping that the first 1000 ST renewals from last year get a freeby this year.
We pretty much get 10%. Decent enough.Quote:

Measured in "Ollie McBurnies", he's worth about £200M! :wink:Quote:

Good to hear HSL could be given representation on the board (if I understood a previous post). Done a great job this season supporting the club.
All sounded pretty positive really. Still have around £3m cash in the bank, waiting on the income insurance payout of around £2m, and we are still planning to make fairly significant improvements to ER, HTC and invest in the first team.
Good to finally have clarity over the McGinn sell-on clause as well.
We would still get an additional £5m(ish) so not to be sniffed at for a club our sizeQuote:

Wants more natural width on the left. Feels we have it on the right with Boyle and Cadden but not on the left.
We’ve been lucky to manage with 2 main strikers - wants another one.
We could do with more goals from midfield but it is also something he is working on with the current squad. Magennis will help this. He had had a tough year but this year was also an introduction for him - expects him to be a major contributor from next year.
Pitch wise we are doing work this year to renovate it and make improvements to how we maintain it. Hybrid should be in the plans but probably a few years out.
They are looking to have 2 pitches at HTC that are as close as possible to the Easter Road pitch.
Small improvement in player areas and the barn at HTC but a multi year plan being put together for making the most of HTC. Ron thinks this could be what takes club to next level.
Are we still looking to double the player budget etc? I know that was spoken about before but is that still the case?
A young player going south was mentioned above, was that Murray Johnson? There was chat Ethan Laidlaw was away at Leeds on trial too. Assume we are getting a substantial fee?
Has the pandemic stopped any of the things he spoke of at last years AGM, I know there were more things than the big screens mentioned? Any idea if anything’s been canned?
Sounds like good stuff overall though, sure we’ll see a summary in the press shortly.
They stated that all the imporovements to the stadium and the training centre are still going ahead and that some of them have already been completed. There's a new PA sound system that has been installed at Easter Road for example. Improvements to both outdoor and indoor facilities at HTC still planned for this summer also.Quote:

Understand that fan return to stadiums is out of our control, but from what was said/discussed about it here, what is the clubs degree of certainty in having fans return by 1) first home game of the league KO 2) back to normal...
Very professional.Ron enjoyed himself.Very heartening to see.
Ron thought back to normal by the autumn.Quote:

im personally glad that St Mirren will do alright out of it too. SJM is an extremely honourable young man and he makes sure his previous clubs are alright and looked after.
That's the way I took it.Quote:

I’m not so sure he will get sold on anymore. Villa have probably grown as a team this year to the level where he doesn’t need to go anywhere else and I’m not sure the top 5 or 6 would want him.Quote:

That wasn't a bad AGM, lots of positive, upbeat messages but still a long way to go.
Agreed. Villa have been playing SJM deep recently and his performances have slid.Quote:

So in summary...
Still some investment needed in the infrastructure.
Not entirely clear what the SJM sell on / St Mirren windfall might be.
Some unspecified benefits for ST holders
Pie debate
This is excellent. Ron is showing he really gets and understands this club, by supplying some ammo for the usual debates but not really settling them.
If he’d said something vague about flags it would have been a real mic drop moment.
No it was made perfectly clear at the end. We get 15% and give Saints 30% of our 15%.Quote:

But a properly functioning board - by its nature - will sometimes discuss sensitive or controversial subjects, and it’s difficult to have a fan on there who then is conflicted about what they can and cannot share with the wider fanbase.
I’d be very happy to have HSL represented on the board, but while that individual should be accessible, I wouldn’t expect to hear from them every month.
Fair enough, I must have missed that bit.Quote:

Of course this is just an example. SJM could be sold for more, less or not at all.
:flag:
It all sounds very positive with Ron, once again, making all the right noises having already shown that he's willing to speculate/invest.
He's definitely more open and gives more detail about specifics than we've been used to. for the past 2-3 decades
Onward & upward!

How many people were on the zoom?
I did think it was slightly odd that there was no actual AGM notice before hand with the resolutions and proxy voting etc. Judging by the way the voting was done today I think there's been a bit of an oversight possibly with the handover to the new Head of Finance. There was reference to Notice of AGM which was never given and voting was essentially passed on Ron's shareholding!
Agree with this.Quote:

I know all that. I still expect us to get at least £3 million more from the selling on if/when he leaves Villa. And that’s after St Mirren get their cut.Quote:

Other things that maybe haven't been mentioned:
There are a number of different task forces ongoing and reporting back - further plans to come out of that by the summer hopefully.
Included in that was what was happening with the women's team. Looking at moving towards being professional in next 12 to 18 months. Ron has received the proposals in terms of how to fund and he though they were achievable.
Pay per view has been agreed with Sky for another year - wasn't clear if that would stop if fans got back in but Ron did seem to suggest it was for all of next season at least. Looking to develop the Hibs TV experience further.
I ****ing love Hibs! All sounds exciting to me
Is it compulsory with regard to the women’s team to go into the tents for fun?:greengrinQuote:

I certainly hope not. This season, being exceptional, shouldn't be used as a basis for pricing policy for the future.Quote:

Paying more for a pre match studio build up definitely doesn't interest me. Although I think what's currently on offer is OK, I don't really have the time to go out my way to watch it.
Yeah 50% seems a decent price point, with the PPV being c£20.Quote:

I keep saying it, but seriously, if anyone can afford it, take time to consider HSL. Times are of course hard for people, but for those that can afford it, even small monthly contributions help.
The potential investment in HTC will really progress the club and attract better players and in particular young players :aok:
Once we can guarantee a full Easter Road, I can see us breaking our season ticket record again.
Hibs would be wise to tie in a first dibs on Europe tickets to Season Ticket holders or such.
They pretty much had me when they confirmed the HD screens.Quote:

When I was driving home I heard the 4 o'clock news on Radio Forth.
Ron Gordon stated that probably one and maybe two players would be sold in the summer.
I take it this wasn't mentioned at the AGM
Don't think it was as definitive as that but think they said expect summer interest again.Quote:

That's the story the BBC are inevitably running with - apparently from an interview before the AGM.Quote:

Really interesting on our last European run.
We played 3 rounds and it earned us £1.2m in prize money and additional gate money, but it cost us about £600k I think he said to put on the games and travel to the away matches.
On Europe next year it was very dependent on what competition we end up in but he estimated that reaching the group stages of the proper Europa league could be a net £4m. I think that’s what he suggested.
Knowing that we were guaranteed 3 home ties in the group stages, I’d like to see the club offer a deal of some sort on the play off tie (should we get that spot). I don’t necessarily want or need it myself but reckon it would really help with the uptake and those that are swithering may take it up.Quote:
