Agree, it is a members club and there’s no way HSL funds should be going near this!

HSL shouldn't be donating any money to fix the roof. The Hibs club is a closed membership group that a small percentage of Hibs supporters use.
I donate money to HSL so they can provide funds to the football club not a social club with no official links to the club.
Yes, there is a substantial repair required on the roof, details of which will be discussed at our AGM.
No, we haven't asked Ron, or HSL, for any money.
I have been to the Hibs club a handful of times in my life so no vested interest.
Thought my comment would stimulate some debate which it did.
Here is another:
What would have been best value for Hibs or HSL
A. giving the Hibs Club £50k to fix their roof which will benefit Hibs supporters for the next 30 years
B. giving SDG £250k to sit in the stand for the last 2 years*
*Not SDG's fault
[QUOTE=oneone73;6590115]Who said that?
You are hearing things.
Had to read back this thread in case i'd missed anything.
I'm a member of the Hibs club but lucky if i'm in there once or twice a year so i'm not in the know. The way this thread is starting to sound is that the HSA have got the begging bowl out looking for donations. To my knowledge this is not the case but close to becoming aHibs.net fact.
The Hibs club has always been a well run club and it's only covid, current restrictions and office beares that are stopping them fixing the roof
Hibs Club confirmed on Facebook that they’ve not approached Hibs or anyone for money for the repairs.
We can put that rumour to bed now.
Should sell Hibs club for flats and use the money to build a new one between the North and East stand with function rooms overlooking the pitch plus a few more seats.
Shan patter!!! (If that’s still a thing)
I was a Hawkhill man for years since 1976 indeed, formative, adult and also behaving not so adult and spent many happy times in that club. Helped make me and lots like me the Hibbies we are.
If a fighting fund is required I’ll happily divert my funds from HSL for a couple of months to help, seeing as you suggested it, although to my knowledge the Hibs Club never ask for money other than through reaffiliations or the price of your drink.
If the rumour came from me on this thread, then I'd like to apologise to the committee if my rubbish gossip has caused any grief
The hibs club is actually the association of hibs supporters clubs. IE many different clubs/branches under one (leaking) roof. Southern,stanton,central, carlton st pats and many others. Some branches may be full, others may not. Just ask. Its a good club and handy before/after games.
