Anyone Want To Group Together To Buy East Stand Stones For Smith, Johnstone & Ormond?

**FranckSuzy** · 30-07-2013 09:44 PM

*rattling the charity tin smilie* or 'scranners' tin as DD would say

In view of the fact that a statue to honour the Famous Five may take a little time

, the PM board has now raised £800 in total to purchase two East Stand Stones: firstly for Eddie Turnbull after he passed away in 2011 and just recently, sadly, to honour the late, great Lawrie Reilly. So, I have been asked to pose the question: should fundrasing continue to honour the other 3 truly magnificent players?

Many posters have said 'YES' so a PayPal account has been set-up specifically for this - eaststandstone@hotmail.co.uk - for anyone who wishes to donate and quite a few pledges have been received already

The wording can be decided on in due course

For Lawrie's stone, we have decided on 'I WAS BORN A HIBBY AND I'LL DIE A HIBBY LAWRIE REILLY - LEGEND. The stone we previously purchased for Eddie is pictured below.

£1,197 will be required to purchase the largest stone for each remaining member of The Famous Five so are you in?

Monies received = £390.............................................Monies pledged = £0

***PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR USER NAME IN THE 'NOTE' FIELD SO I CAN LINK YOUR KIND DONATION TO THE PAYPAL ENTRY - THANKS!***

***Sweep*** · 31-07-2013 01:15 PM

Thats me sent another £20. S

**PerfectlyFranck** · 31-07-2013 01:17 PM

Is there a fund towards bronze statues of the five? I think that would be a more fitting cause for me to part my cash with.
As I said on the Bounce, I would happily forego my season ticket this season and spend what I would've spent in travel on a direct debit.

**007 Mickey Weir** · 31-07-2013 04:44 PM

Great appeal. ST was a push this year so haven't got spare at the moment but may consider later. Surely Hibs could do extra large ones at cost price?

***whiskyhibby*** · 31-07-2013 07:21 PM

I'll donate later

***whiskyhibby*** · 31-07-2013 07:37 PM

£20 sent

**pacorosssco** · 31-07-2013 07:45 PM

I salute you all but should the club profit free not have marked this? no taking away from efforts but sad that a 400 stone which costs hibs less commission isnt made for those who seved the club well and who they still try make money from?

***mutley*** · 31-07-2013 08:12 PM

What's the latest balance?

Not as yet but please feel free to start a collection

I agree with what you are saying but fear it could take years. This hopefully will be concluded a bit quicker

Monies received = £190

Monies pledged so far = £80

***Could the very kind person with the initials SW who sent a payment please PM me? I would like to say thank you for your very generous donation but have no idea who you are in the .net world!

***mutley*** · 31-07-2013 09:54 PM

Donation sent, should be with you now. I hope we can raise enough for these stones. Have you contacted the club? Might get a discount or a top up on funds needed

Got it

Thanks very much. I was going to bring it up on Wednesday at the Let's Work Together meeting. I'll phone the company tomorrow though and test the water

GGTTH.

Of course it may take years, but it'll not take less time if we wait to implement a fund.
I hope something is set-up as soon as possible as it would be a throughly fitting memorial from the fans.

I'll ask the club but I doubt they will have any plans for something when they are usually charity/fan-funded.

Go for it

Nothing stopping you

From the fans IMHO will be the only way it's going to be done in a timely fashion. Maybe run a poll on here and The Bounce and see what responses you get..? A PayPal a/c is easy enough to set up but I fear the cost of a statue may be prohibitive. Maybe you could contact the St Pat's HSC and ask for details of the bust they commissioned and take it from there

Good luck

Would it not be a better idea to just get your ST and stick a fiver in the pot for the stones? Or just buy your ST and leave it at that?

Sorry, I don't understand your post.

I own a ST but I don't see what the relevance of having a season ticket is to a fund for a Famous Five statue?

I cannot single-handedly set up such a thing, I was merely enquiring.

I was considering emailing Tom whatshisname that done the Bobby Robson & Milburn statue (I think).
I don't think I have the knowledge or experience to fundraise for such a thing and I assumed an official charity endorsed by the club would have to do this…

Your own post #14 should explain. All that foregoing your cash as you said on the Bounce? Just forego a pound!

**~~Iggy Pope~~** · 31-07-2013 10:49 PM

Right. Paypal gone for the 4. Skint, but I owe it to myself.

***surreyhibbie*** · 31-07-2013 10:49 PM

Done.
