And why on earth would the club dance to the tune of a handful of fans intent on spreading unfounded smear stories?

Petrie was certainly the one in control on this occasion.

...which is, in essence, what I said in that post. I may have mentioned legal action earlier; CBA trawling through old posts. However, I'm sure that, if HOH/Hibileaks didn't stop with the lies and unfounded allegations, legal action would have been the next step.

Next question:- did they say that the strategy would be presented as a fait accompli, or one that was open to consultation?

Who did you expect to be in control of the boardroom, if not the chairman?

Maybe the delay is down to the banks? It's the future of Hibs that's being planned. There's no rush, and I for one would rather they took an extra month (or more) and get it right. Who knows, they may even come up with a solid, viable proposition - something neither of the pressure groups have managed?

The board are not dancing to their own tune here. HOH aims are clear on their Facebook and Twitter accounts, have a look. It's also a bit more than a handful as you would've noticed if you attended the game on Saturday and witnessed the Foodbank collection.

"...........a solid, viable proposition - something neither of the pressure groups have managed ? " [
That is IT in a nutshell - we have listened to the "spin" now come up with sustainable policies .
That phrase sounds familiar - ah yes at " Referendum" time :greengrin

I donated to the foodbank but have no support for HOH when it comes to their 'aims' (whatever they are) or their stories about Hibs. I'm sure hundreds of other, if not thousands, are in the same boat.

I really don't think you can use the success of the foodbank collection as a way of measuring support for HOH as a whole.

The foodbank would not have been remotely the success it was without this site the bounce and indeed the club. If it was to be used as a sign of support for Hibileaks or buyhibs people would have starved.

Time will tell with that one..

Wasn't mentioned as far as I can remember. I would hope it's open to consultation, although I won't hold my breath.

Agreed, I would rather an extra month if it helps. Silly of the club to go making promises they can't keep though.

We only have HoH's word that a sort of promise was made. Were you at the meeting and what was actually said?

I never once said anyone donating food supported HOH. I replied to a comment that said HOH only have a handful of members. This is nonsense as anyone who was there on Saturday would've noticed with the amount of HOH activists there.

Sound mate 👍

I'll take your word for knowing who would've and wouldn't have donated because It was posted on an Internet forum. 😴

So how many supporters do they have? And I mean active supporters not likes on Facebook or followers on Twitter.

Dozens? Hundreds? More?

Deary me, do you honestly think without Hibs having a game and the publicity it got from the club and the Hibs fans website all of these folk would have dropped food of at another place on Saturday at 3pm?

:crazy:

Hands on Hibs and (to a lesser extent)BuyHibs are amateur night at Pontins,laced with personal spite against STF.In my view he has shown great restraint in face of slanderous attacks,but if I were him I would simply withdraw my guarantees and let these people get on with it(which would mean the end of Hibs).No one denies that the last few years have been a shambles and RP has been a disaster over that period,but to accuse STF of dishonesty and "milking" Hibs for his own financial gain,when he is able to(and does) give millions of pounds to charity goes beyond all bounds of commonsense and decency.

For the first time for a few years,there is appearing a glimmer of progress and STF recognises the need to change for the future. It seems to me to be sensible to await the AGM,as I'm sure that the promised proposals will be preferable to the half baked vindictive fodder we've been treated to so far.

Her job is to run the football team from top to bottom. I wish these groups would grow a set and either engage with whats on offer or walk away from the self promotion.

No I wasn't. I've read the minutes. I'm sure they're all made up lies as well though.

At least 100 activists, that's people who are actually prepared to go out and do doing something not sitting in their mums house on the internet.
