    Charlie Reid wants Hibs fans to keep backing HSL

    It's gathering pace, there is know doubt about it.

    Evening News talks to Charlie Reid, on fan ownership and how it's inevitable that fans will have a bigger say in the way our clubs are run.

    http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.co...-hsl-1-4025510

    Charlie Reid - “I suspected the only money that is out there to come into Scottish football is from big businessmen that you would not want involved with the club.

    Charlie Reid makes some very good points RE: fan ownership, but the big one for me is the quote above. I've said it many times before and I'll say it again, we can't sit back and leave it to someone else to step forward and prevent any sharks out there taking control of our club. Apart from anything else, we would never forgive ourselves.

    The way I see it is STF & Heid the Baw, are not going to be around for ever and if every Hibs fan put £7.73 (minimum monthly on their website) a month into HSL we would have a fair wee say in how the decisions are agreed in the boardroom.

    Prevention is the best cure and if we can all join up (if finances permit) now, tomorrow will take care of itself.

    Let's not wait until it's too late and we are all scrambling around trying to raise cash like them over the city. This opportunity will come along once in a lifetime, and we need to start signing up in an orderly fashion while there is no burning bridge.

    It's time to protect our club for future generations while we are on such a high IMO

    Excellent post HappyHibby93, and a very good point you make. Let's just hope it doesn't come down to this.

    For me HSL is the only way forward. I remember the Hands Off Hibs campaign and the pain and hurt we all felt when Mercer tried to kill us. Back then Hibs were investing in wine bars in Bath now we are investing in our club. The more fans that sign up the greater say we will have. You can donate from a £5 a month. Just think we might even be able to buy another John McGinn with the extra cash!!! I just wish I could get the bloody song out my head

    If every Hibs fan stopped buying that pro-hun rag, the DR, then we could all donate £20 a month to HSL. Do we have a deal or what ?

    Charlie hopes for 2000 members by the end of the season and perhaps 3000 by next season. A cup win (or 2) would help.You can pay as little a. £5 per month. Everyone can afford that. Its only a bottle of wine or 2 pints less a month.

    Are the certificates issued automatically, or do contributors have to apply for their certificate? What's the process? Can anyone advise please?

    I'm sure I must be near the £225 contribution now.

    With enough of a shareholding / influence we will be in a position to deal with any future Mercer figure on a more equal basis and they would not get as far as they appeared to do against the fans (one day owners?) visions for the best interests of their club.

    Who needs poncey wine bars when there's plenty decent pubs about.

    Once we get to 26% we will be able to prevent any future Mercer being able to ever take control.
