Putting this in a separate topic to raise awareness. Everyone who can, get yourself down there.

Booooooooooo!!!!!!!

Sorry, but I thought I read in a different thread that the Meeting is scheduled for 11.30am and we should gather outside the main Stand at 11am? (Assuming of course they will open the gates to the Car Park)

Tell them you are buying a season ticket...that'll get you through the gates.

This is the acid test time though - put it this way, when the club and team needed the supporters for vital games, we turned up and jeez even down to having 'green dot' counts.

So......if this is to be done properly, constructivey and more importantly civily, then there needs to be the same level of support - as that way I see it, this is far far far more crucial than a game against Killie for 3 points, or a play off game - this is for a monumental, club saving change.


My only hope is that this is done with coordination and as I said, a calm, lawful and civil manner. The main thrust of the argument is for Rod to leave the club with a degree of dignity and for us thereafter to move on with energy, positivity and passion. It cannot be simply Rod Petrie going and then believing the job is done - it won't be, as it will be the start of a difficult but exciting journey in the club's history.


I'd call it, for want of a better phrase, 'Season of Change' - I'd want a vision statement for both the club and the first team, far more interaction with supporters, far more school inclusion, a steering group formed to audit and report on the Academy at 6 month intervals (thus making it accountable to the supporters and interested parties), sponsorship to be looked at all levels with stadium naming rights and Academy naming rights being explored.

Team wise I want Hibs Media to be far more 2014 and not 1914......it needs refreshed and revamped, new ideas like 'fans commentaries' in games like the derby (Hibs fan Hearts fan), better interviews, a Captain's weekly update.......the manager meeting regularly with the support.

In short, any campaign (and it must be looked upon as a campaign) has to have a clear message, a clear focus and a clear argument - but with clear expectations and ones which are achievable with hard work and enterprise - we cannot do rhetoric and 'shoot for the stars'. The aims and objectives have to be attainable.

That for me is my thoughts on how we should go about things - I think as I posted before we have jumped the gun a bit this week, caught on the emotions of Sunday.

Let's think this through with deliberation and be constructive and reasoned. Emotions can get in the way of rational thought.

Run this past me, conducted "civily" - with a baying mob outside? Sounds like a very British revolution. In other countries they have the decency to spit on their enemies dead bodies, but here we give them tea and sandwiches and tell them they can say whatever they like - if we agree it.

hasta siempre la victoria!!!!

[Lee Marvin]

I'll be there. This is the only way it's going to work. Writing 'petrie out' is fine, but anyone can do that so doesnt hold enough credence.

If u want petrie out, be there in body, not spirit

No FR, I want change but not when it's getting to a level which is beneath us - will shouting bile and abuse at a set of revolving doors do anything ? Other than make a few people a wee bit happier and their oxytocin level rise and make them feel happier

I'm all for a gathering, but I want to know what we all collectively want as a club (apart from the clearly obvious and that is a winning team). Getting Rod out, although the main objective, is only for me a small part of the process - I want a total revamp of the club, from Rod to the tealady/teaboy.

There are a lot of very well connected, thoughtful, experienced and innovative fans out there - really knowledgeable about many things that could help and improve the club. That's why I posted what I did.

How goes it SH mate ?

I'll be there, but I also want it to be more thought through - Rod going is only the start for me.

[S4uzee]

Think we will definitely sell out this one

[IanM]

We'll need to get some songs penned i reckon - the chants of 'Petrie Petrie Get to ****' however direct means we'll be going against what PK said earlier about this not being personal, but business..

A few renditions of 'We Are Hibernian FC' and the Hibees bounce on Rod's bonnet are acceptable (I get Rod won't be there so the nearest Jag)

It's like waving a season ticket at a camera crew.

Sorry, I was just having a laugh there. I'm more in favour of small groups of organised fans carrying out protests than a large homogenous mob - as it is easily dispersed and there is every chance of negative publicity as a result.

I would hope the demonstration outside is stewarded and clear guidelines given about acceptable protest.

[McKenzie]

I'll be there. Dragging every Hibee I know along with me. Spread the word and let's get rid of Rod

[Diclonius]

Unfortunately I won't be there - living two hours away with a thesis to write and no driving license doesn't help.

Also, could one of the admins change the time to 11:00? Made a mistake, cheers.

Demo will be properly stewarded.

Good bud.


Hopefully we hear more before Saturday, but yes i will be there on Saturday with the munchies

[oconnors_strip]

I just hope the wee kids don't turn up and start having a party atmosphere and throwing coins at people!!

[Captain Trips]

I will get the effigy sorted.

[California-Hibs]

Really glad to hear this is happening! Fully supporting this from California. It's time for change!

Well done to all those attending and showing how much Hibernian FC means to us!
