Charlatan club
Petty of me so I’ll resist the urge for now but I genuinely am considering stopping my monthly sub.
I have no idea what they do at HTC as we have no style of play, we are fortunate rest of league have struggled financially etc.
I'd reckon there ain't much hope now in this campaign getting the contributions that some
people intended to make next week...
Can't honestly say I blame anyone either.
It's a hell of a hard sell now after that display, but perhaps we need this initiative even more now, to try and bring in better quality, no matter who the manager is. We need better quality players as we are no as good as most would think.
You certainly are on a mission tonight. Covering all of the angles. Why? Especially when you’d already said that’s all...?Quote:

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.
:agree: for the Scottish Cup semi.Quote:

I get tonight was crap, but statements like this are a bit over the top imo. I am sure many folk that choose to donate to HSL are very much about the big picture.
Based on the second half debacle I feel like asking fir a refund of my forty quid
But it’s now Uo to Ross to ensure we don’t start slipping down the league

Get Ross so far to *edited. Don’t bypass the swear filter ** b4 he loses everything u guys r building,waking up.
the manager is everything to a football club and he offers us zero!!
No personality,no relsults when the club need them.
Ok let’s be happy with 4th In this league!
Will be honest and say that I didn’t donate as I wanted to see how tonight went.
Put enough money in to Hibs. Need a bit more back to make me want to put more in.
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.Quote:

Not overly sure of what point you are making. Ron is covering the costs. The fans are attempting to give the club extra money to Chuck at additional players we may not necessarily need, but would be welcome additions to kick us on.Quote:

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.
Points well made, I agree every word. It's Hibs we are talking about here, if it was disappointments like yesterday that were going to drive us away I'd have given up Hibs in the 70's[emoji1]Quote:

Had to hold off till today because of my payday but one off donation made. Like everyone, disappointed in the outcome but a worthwhile initiative.

Those talking of cancelling DDs or asking for refunds have it completely backwards.... this initiative is to help the club.
Do you think stopping donations or asking for refunds will do that?
If anything don’t you think increasing awareness of the campaign is the way to rectify things that are bothering you...? Some want new CBs some a new striker... do you think these come free? During a pandemic?
Pull ur heads out and lift your fingers from the keyboard and save the rest of us the trouble of having to read these negative rantings.
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.Quote:

Maybe club could sign a CB or strikers instead of signings centre mids constantly?
Irony in this is your post is a negative rant.
HSL has and continues to give our club money that makes possible the signing of better players and a better chance of winning silverware.
Yesterday was another great chance to win silverware. It was another major failure to win silverware but there will be other opportunities to win silverware in the future.
Quitters never win and winners never quit🤞
In the context of a global pandemic anyone is entitled to do what they need to do to make ends meet... if I missed this point in the posts I have read then I apologise.
In the context of cancelling donations cos we lost a semi final then well I think those ‘fans’ need to take a long look at themselves.
Also don’t think my post was a needless negative rant like most I’m responding to... and can only be viewed as negative by those I’m describing too.
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’.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Also it’s not the ability to donate towards HSL and hibs that makes anyone more of a fan than any other, but pulling your financial support simply cos of one result is definitely a reason to call you a ‘fan’.
I’m not cancelling my DD because of one specific result. Cancelling because of poor appreciation of fan sacrifice by certain quarters, shining through in posts like yours.Quote:

Must have had a lot of ‘fans’ when we were relegated and our ST numbers plummeted then.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Just to clarify I’m not struggling financially but I’ve stopped my DD. Not putting up with this level of nonsense when I can have a bit extra in my wallet every month. Ludicrous to be critiqued for what is essentially a charitable donation.
I can’t speculate on your donation amount but unless you are sacrificing a hefty part of your pay packet then I wouldn’t call it a ‘sacrifice’ whatsoever.... and by calling it a sacrifice so often it makes one think you DO expect something in return...
Off you pop...
In fact the nonsense you’ve spouted for the past hour or so has inspired me to up my donations...
It’s not a charitable donation, it’s to help fund a football that is dear to all of us on here.Quote:

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.
As pep talks and rallying cries go you’re not doing a very good job. Your contribution to this thread has been a bit insulting and has caused one poster to cancel their direct debit. It’s got nothing to do with you what people do with their own money.Quote:

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.
Not at any point in my initial post did I single anyone out... he chose to engage...
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.Quote:

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.
Anyone wishing to pay, stop paying or never intend to ever pay is within their own right.
I’d maybe just suggest anyone intending stopping paying due to being angry following yesterday to think about it in a few days time.
Everything is (understandably) still raw after yesterday
This thread didn’t have to go this way even after such a result. People had a choice in the direction of the thread, just as I have a choice in the direction my money goes.Quote:

This is a donation. If I got similar nonsense from donors of a Charity I would consider what I’m doing there as well.
Once your on this train, apart from financial ruin what’s an acceptable reason for getting off? Looks like all stations before financial difficulties make you a ‘fan’.
We are Hibs, this is our club. When Ron Gordon has gone, any Manager, any player, it will still be our Club. S**t or S**t hot, still our Club.
Never forget.
In summary “I’m brilliant. He’s an idiot”.Quote:

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?

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.
There's always the next game
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.Quote:

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.

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.
We're all fuming after that performance and one or two others this season, but its at time like this, no matter how emotionally p****d off we are, that our support is vital. Both financially and emotionally.
Our funding helps towards building a better Hibs.
Ive contributed to HSL from the start but sadly for me my monthly income may reduce very soon. I may have to reconsider where my money goes. I will however renew my season ticket provided there is a payment plan again.
Every one is different and I bear no ill will to anyone who stops at all.

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 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.

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
Save for rainy day
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.Quote:

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.Quote:
