Now that i have read her statement/tantrum again, :greengrin she doesn't say anything about not posting again on here, she said she wouldn't be constantly on this MB.

Thought it was all about bettering the communication with fans, no better way to do it by communicating with fans on Hibs MBs.

She has been pretty quiet since her last statement.

I seem to recall being handed a card outside ER, several weeks ago I think, by HOH publicising the proposed collection for foodbanks in Edinburgh before the match with Alloa.

Am I correct thinking that?

Tbh I turned down the last card they handed out because of what had been on the previous one to that. Now I know about it I'll contribute something.

It's a bit disappointing the club didn't get behind this/tried to take it on themselves and it fell through when it would have been a great chance to demonstrate they were keen to work with groups of fans. Again that is obviously based on the story above being accurate.

Will reserve judgement and wait for Hibs to comment, assuming they do. If accurate, it could be a wake up call for some on here.

What are the Foodbank Collections details? Where about will this be? Apologies if I've missed it.

:agree: When I read the card I was handed at the time I just thought that sounds like a good idea, and then binned the card later.

Maybe my memory is getting worse but I don't really remember these cards, at the time they were being handed out, being debated much if at all on this forum. I might have missed it maybe?

When this lot burst onto the scene, it was all bull**** and lies. I'd guess this is more of the same.

They've certainly been promoting a food bank collection.

Sort of little gesture that would have been nice for the club to do. Hope it still goes ahead and this doesn't stop the club promoting it.

She'll probably post later and leave me looking stupid. In fact I'd put money on it.

Not really bothered what hibileaks are up to, i will wait and hear what the club say if anything on the matter. If i'm honest, i dont really care if the club are doing this or not, they have a bit more to think about at the moment in my opinion.

Im afraid the food bank thing reeks of the moral high ground.

"We want what's best for Hibs and we demand that what's best for Hibs happens and that the lying cheating owner gives the club to the community..sort of..but also makes sure it has lots of cash and that we win the league, without him in charge..sort of, but we don't want to be in charge..we just want someone else, who we don't really know who they are in charge. But whoever they are they better be good or we will be very cross ! Oh and we give food to the poor so we must be nice."

That's probably a bit harsh..but to me that's the way the HOH groups comes across.

Its not up to hibileaks to decide who hibs make their priority charity, the club do a lot for charity's over the course of every season.

STF and his wife support more charities than you could shake a stick at.HOH should just go ahead and do what they want to do.

One sentence in the HoH statement

" And despite the Club's origins they show scant interest in putting ANYTHING back into the community. "

I take it HoH are unaware Hibs have been running a Community Trust for about 20 years , providing offices for the Homeless World Cup,
providing accommodation and support for the Hibernian Historical Trust, to name but a few.

If you're going to bring facts into the discussion I think you should leave the room.

I find it hard to believe HOH were given assurances that the AGM would happen pre Xmas. The club will have valid reasons for the delay and there's no reason to jump to negative conclusions.

As for the foodbank point, Hibs have another charity event this weekend I think, some Santa bus in the car park. Is a food collection on a match day a good idea anyway? I'm not convinced

At the last WT meeting we were advised that there would be a food bank collection although no credit was given to HOH.

I have the HOH card from the last match which only mentioned the food bank.

Both were around the same time.

There's a WT meeting on Wednesday for anyone interested.

Unaware or don't care, it's all about claiming the moral high ground on this one.

If it helps get food to people who need it and are struggling to afford it I don't care about morale highground or how it would make me think of HoH proposal. Lets just support a decent initiative that doesn't mean to say you say yes to everything they do.

I dont think anyone is saying its a bad thing, but as others are saying this is all about hibileaks trying to take some sort of moral high ground when in reality they have no real morals at all.

PB it was on the cards they handed out before QOS game. I took one and read it to challenge them on what I thought would be their latest nonsense. Instead I thought what a good idea and we should do stuff like that more often.

Great idea this and I hope the stewards have been briefed that some of us will be entering the stadium with cans, bottles and suchlike.

I've blown a fortune on Christmas presents and nights out so this Food bank is very timely.

Thanks to all concerned.

If people want to donate to a food bank scheme but don't want to be involved with the HoH link thn contact the Salvation Army or Google search charities in your local area

It's all going to the same place at the end of the day :flag:

North East Edinburgh Foodbank has been running for about 12 months in the Leith area. Google it to get to their site. One of the key people in getting it established is a ST holder, not that that really matters, just a wee snippet.

Just except you were wrong :greengrin

"I won’t be on this board constantly and I won’t be replying to every angry tweet or every angry text or post"

Maybe if we post nicely she might post again soon, not holding my breath though :greengrin
