Section 43, funding displays for next season?

[KdyHby]

Any fundraisers planned for 2013-14/can donations be sent during the close season?

[hibee_nation]

Hope the boys can get something sorted for our euro tie.

[KdyHby]

Got this disappointing news:

To be honest it's looking unlikely that Section 43 will be a group next season so we aren't accepting any donations at the moment.

Don't worry about it, you still have the '12th Man'. Sect43 are just splitters anyway

[Mister P]

Why?

The work they have done has been superb. Everyone knows who they are, the new chants have been successful, more colour and noise. 100% what they set out to achieve!

What's happened?

bagsie the drum!

Seriously though, I know there's a few bah humpbugs on here moaning about not wanting to be under a piece if card etc, and that's all fair enough, but the majority of fans fully appreciate the work that's been done. Last seasons final display, the semi display and this years final display all outdid our opponents. The songs and chants have been great, these songs etc were a massive part of what united the support at the end of the final.

Something's telling me this is not a decision from the boys themselves. Can anyone shed some light?

Edin Capitals posted ..... To be honest it's looking unlikely that Section 43 will be a group next season so we aren't accepting any donations at the moment.... which he/she presumably had sent to him/her or had access too. If we knew the source that might help shed some light.

I thought I'd better post on this thread so as not to disappoint Bouncer Ross

The display at the cup final took one hell of a lot of work and organisation so top marks to all involved in putting that together. Section 43 have only brought positive things to ER and Hibs in general so if they are not together as a group next season they will be missed there is no doubt about it.

Well done guys what ever happens to your group, I think you can safely day that you made a huge impact on the match day experience and can be proud of what you have achieved.

Yes! Which is why it can't be allowed to stop.
If individuals are unable to give it the commitment they think it needs that is such a shame, hopefully there's others who would be willing to join their ranks, if that's what it is.

Step in then mister p

[Mister P]

Bill, you and anyone else who knows me know I'd be all over this like a dug on a meat couch, but unfortunately I work Saturdays, live miles out if town and have family, hence why I understand if its a time/able to commit issue. Such a shame, our songs and displays were putting us miles above anyone in the spl.

I really hope these guys can continue it!

I do too, and you need to get your priorities in life right, like I do😄

[Mister P]

I've already gave up Hibeernian to be able to spend more time with my son, if I did this it would be certain divorce!


(See you in June boys)

[Blackburn Hibee]

Really hope Section 43 carry on... Travell from Blackburn to home games and really enjoy the noise and atmosphere they create!! And it would be a shame for them to stop, after all the hard work they have put in to creating an atmosphere, at matches!!

[barcahibs]

Just want to add my agreement to the majority sentiment on this thread.

I was one of the biggest critics of the card display idea involving the whole crowd for the final - and to be honest I still think card displays are daft (and I didn't participate).

That doesn't mean that I can't appreciate the amount of work and dedication that went into their creation. It would be a shame if that passion and dedication for the club was allowed to slip away.

Whatever the arguments about displays/smoke bombs/orchestrated singing (I'm against all three by the way ) it surely cannot be denied by anyone that Section 43 was/is a good thing.

They've even brought me round in favour of their bloody drum - used in moderation natch

I hope they find a way to continue their input into the Hibee family.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Sect 43 have been immense and a credit to our club. Would be sad to no longer see them together.

[Bleeds green]

Section 43 have been immense seriously hope they keep going. See over on keekback they have a thread mocking 43 doesn't beat the pink carriage corner brigade, what a bunch of delinquents

[Makaveli]

I hope there's no truth in rumours that the disbandment is a reaction to the bullsh** spouted by jealous soapdodgers about the funding of the display. Honestly, their chat about it not being how "real ultras" behave is cringeworthy and should be ignored. FAO Sect43: if you were liked by the Green Brigade and whatever shan group the Huns have going, something would be wrong.

Not accepting the funding from Hills would have essentially amounted to denying £300 to Kicks for Kids and £150 to the headstone fund. The right decision was made IMO, and the display wasn't even "sponsored" in the way some folk are making out.

Fact is the atmosphere at Hibs games is better because of Sect43's various work.

if we all didnt participate in the card display then all that hard work would have been wasted , it was only a couple of minutes of your time, they at least deserved that, still you cant force people but its a shame some people think like that.

[Pretty Boy]

Section 43 probably isn't my scene to be involved in but it's impossible to argue against the work they have done and the improvement in atmosphere.

If the problem is with the rest of the fans then I think you need to think again as most support you. If it's an internal problem then sort it out lads.

Went over all this in threads before the game mate. I think it was a mistake to require the whole support to participate - some folk (like me) don't want to be behind a piece of card as the players come out. A card display in defined areas that people can choose to avoid is fine by me.

Anyway don't want to derail the thread - once again whatever my feelings on their approach at times - Section 43 is a good thing.

We'll all take time out over the summer, The Hills issue has caused a few words, but nothing that can't be sorted, most of us still have ST's in S43 so we'll still be there every week and the drum will still be getting thumped, but remember as Sunday showed we are all S43, you can start the singing in any part of the ground and we'll all join in. See you all next season......or whenever the preseason starts

The fact the first post states Sect43 spits on ball boys, starts all the Mercer songs and is a group of 15 year olds shows how much they know. The Hibs support has pissed all over them this season, and Sect43 or no Sect43 that's not changing any time soon!

[jabis]

so we can't sing anymore

nice job sect43 by the way,for all your efforts through the year,it did make a welcome addition

[trev the hat]

These guys have been a breath of fresh air since they were formed and their efforts very much enhance a matchday experience IMO Onwards and upwards Sect43

[LancashireHibby]

Last season I think the atmosphere at some of the games, largely down to Sect43, was something that kept a lot of us sane. This season it really kicked on and the atmosphere at some of the games, especially the cup games, will live long in the memory. Would be a huge shame if this didn't continue for whatever reason, but I perfectly understand if folk are struggling to commit the time that they feel is required to do the job properly. Hopefully it will 'only' be the displays and the like that take a step back, with the noise and atmosphere continuing to progress like it has in the past 2 years. Those last 10 minutes on Sunday were a culmination of the sheer graft being put in week after week - it would be a massive loss for all that hard work to go to waste.
