It's not a charity I agree with.

Excellent initiative and well done both clubs. Bit of sympathy with Sergey's comments as well. Heard rumours of wrongdoings at HfH but they were never substantiated as far as I am aware. Erskine would have been better IMO.

Want to say that witnessing the work the HfH does,British Legion, White Ensign and numerous other military charities that we should be proud as a nation that we manage to raise the funds to help.
My nephew was killed I'n Jan 13 I'n a road traffic accident, his girlfriend was in a coma and couldnt look after their 5 week old and his girlfriends 6 year old.
I was given £250 towards the flight home from the Gulf. To help watch the children while my sister buried her son.The money was not for me per say, but to help out with a serviceman's family I'n the time of need.
I have nothing but the utmost respect for every member of the general public who put into these charities and help out service men and woman and their families I'n our time of need.
So as a veteran who once used the military charity can I say from the bottom of my heart, thank you so very very much.

Was a supporters led initiative from Working Together, offers of tickets have also been made to RAF Club, Navy Club and Hibs Supporters Associations. If you were in the forces or know of someone please contact Tickets for Troops or enquire at the Legion if you are a member.
The Management at the Club have been great and John Miller from WT has put in a power of work to make this happen. Well done John

Still doesn't make it any less embarrassing though.

The really sad thing is that it was inevitable that the Thread would take a turn for the worse.
The concept of keeping quiet if you having nothing nice to say seems to bypass some people.

I have, thankfully, never been in the forces and had to put my life on the line for my country. What I do know though is if I had been in that situation I really couldn't care if the guy beside me was a Rangers fan, a hearts player or anyone else for that matter.
The club are making a fantastic gesture here to say a small thank-you to the people who have, and continue to, put their lives on the line for us. They have acknowledged the part their family play in it by extending the invite to them as well. They have invited QOS to be involved on the day too reinforcing the all in it together aspect.

A solemn remembrance would be appropriate, this is not remembrance, it's the very opposite. Look at the flag they are holding "Support" not "remember", what has giving out tickets out to present day forces got to do with remembering? Absolutely nothing, if the club wishes to be a cheerleader for the military, blindly backing "our boys & girls" then at least be honest about it rather than pretending it has anything to do with remembrance. Some people will clearly be happy to go along with that, but accept that many of us won't.

Nobody is asking you to pay for their tickets. What is the problem with making such a gesture towards current soldiers and their families on the same day as we pay tribute to those who fell for us, all those years ago. Bear in mind - these soldiers are ordinary people like you and I, many of them likely friends of people on here. Really don't get your issue.
"oncrack" indeed.

well done to both Hibs and QOS for this, hopefully those that get tickets have a nice day with their friends and family.
