KP any update on face masks ? It would be good if we could be the first Scottish club to officially release them.

https://www.hiberniandirect.co.uk//a...ring-pre-order

Further options should be added I believe.

[Robbo6-2]

Any news on how many fans asked for a refund from last season tickets?

[CMurdoch]

KP, thanks for the updates and all your efforts on our behalf

Good question, up to the club if they want to release that information.

Mentioned higher up the thread they were great on refund solutions with supporters. It was a small percentage that did need that rightful return of monies last update I had.

I can mention Hibs planned well for the situation.

[green day]

KP, I trust you are taking note of what people are saying about this 5 year temporary nonsense Doncaster has just come up with to save Hearts.

Utter nonsense and I sincerely hope that Hibs see this for what it is.

[Phil MaGlass]

KP, the wife just asked if there´s any plans for the pink womens tartan to be used for masks?

[Greenworld]

Raging with the news of 5 year 14 club offer ..

This has been going on for a while, too long (a stronger governing body should’ve considered a time limit on this discussion). Club is more than aware of feelings and feedback from Hibs fans.

Ah, I’m not sure what the other possible versions look like - a standard green might be in there but a pink tartan one (even purple) would be a very different option.

@Power: A thought for whenever fans are allowed back into ER. We will all know good Hibs fans who have lost their lives in the last 11 weeks. Who knows how many more by the time we are back. Can the club arrange some way of remembering them, maybe in the programme and/or a minute's silence?

I would rather those details were kept private. Refund those who took up the offer to do so, and do so without feeling the need to justify and explain reasons to everyone why they did.

As for the club`s position on the reconstruction farce, I`d hope the original stance that the club took and the reasons given for doing so has been further strengthened.
The problem we have here is Hearts - a decision to reject the reconstruction proposals will immediately be looked upon by media and others in Scottish Football as simply a vote against our rivals first and foremost before the proposal, which puts us in an awkward situation. Thankfully Hibs have acted impeccably during this crisis and have kept their dignity intact by not getting embroiled in petty squabbles via the medium of multiple statements. A rejection of the proposal will surely be for the same reasons as before. Get it binned and lets move towards preparing for the 20/21 season which could be the most challenging season of all. League reconstruction starting immediately does nothing to ease those challenges that will be faced.

I'd expect minute's silences will happen across the league – in the first round of games when the Bundesliga restarted there was a silence for victims of Covid.

Agree it would be good if Hibs can do something else specific to Hibs fans who have died.

Yes totally agree, I just hope it's a silence rather than an applause that takes place. We should leave the applause for the NHS workers that we're going to be welcoming to our games.

How many decades have we been saying that for, yet here it still is.

Morning all,


Life is still uncertain, stressful and pressurised in parts, so I hope you’re still good at your end. Here if I can help with anything (kpower@hibernianfc.co.uk). Fixtures out imminently (end of this week would be ideal), all focus on Hibernian being back.


http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10650


On the 15th June, the club updated supporters that they will be entering into consultation with staff and making difficult choices to reduce costs to protect the future of Hibernian. There has been a lot of good conversations and wise words used around the Hibs supporter landscape since that communication surrounding the point of why. The club is honest with where it is - tackling the difficult decisions and discussions in an honest, compassionate and supportive way with all concerned.


These preventative measures and decisions are to make sure Hibs are present and strong when coming out the other side of this.




Everyone is doing their bit:


The staff (I’m amazed with the energy every employee has to get up and go again in normal times, never mind these unprecedented ones)


The players (Showing solidarity with staff and supporters)


The supporters (with our magnificent understanding and backing)


At these times, the staff need our encouragement as much as our players do. Keep them in mind.

Great to hear from Ron and Leeann in various internal and external interviews recently –

https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.c...hearts-2894565


Ron celebrates 1 year with us today exactly. Despite the world changing as we know it and pausing a lot of the AGM plans, he is still proud and feels blessed to own Hibernian. Let's see what the future brings.


____





9,000 Season Tickets have been sold. The club understood how important the deadlines (Early Bird, Seat Release and Finance) were in these times and have extended the dates twice. The new deadline of this Friday at 5pm (3rd July) is approaching fast.


Club call out – ‘Whether it’s on an upgraded Hibs TV service or back in your seat when the time’s right, you won’t miss a kick of the ball at Easter Road with a season ticket’.


Season ticket package and virtual season ticket





The club is putting a lot of work into making sure the virtual offering to us is unique and not what we have experienced before. More to come on this. Still a lot to be worked out by all clubs and stakeholders.


______________________


I would like to update you on a number of key areas that I’ve flagged recently with the club on behalf of supporters.




Looking after supporters


Make every effort to look after all types of Hibs fan when football returns. Season Ticket holders (providing value for Season Ticket purchases) and regular supporters (Our walk-up fans are still thought of until we’re back at Easter Road).




Working Together – Club and Hibernian Supporters Limited


Last summer, I highlighted sizeable numbers in our support want Hibernian Supporters (HSL) to be a success - Club and HSL to work together. This message has not changed.


KP - It’s great to see the partnership strengthen recently - Both club and HSL on the same page - the excellent engagement and communication is much appreciated by all.

[Power]

Join Hibernian Supporters


https://hiberniansupporters.co.uk/


The fan-led drive to make our club as strong can be via Hibernian Supporters in these uncertain times is inspirational. 700 new/renewed donators is outstanding. Leeann and Hibernian Supporters have both confirmed donations will be directed to the play budget. As our voice and eyes in the boardroom, I can confirm the additional funds donated will help the team and on the pitch.


I wouldn’t underestimate the power and difference contributing small spare change regularly to Hibernian Supporters. It’s easy and flexible to donate through the continuously improving website and I would encourage HSL to be at the front of mind, along with other great initiatives, when you make goodwill donations.


https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/spor...pster-18488348


Leeann Dempster - "Because this is a unified message that things are difficult just now and difficult for your club, what we are seeing is a grassroots movement over the course of the last week. As of Tuesday night, HSL has had over 700 new members in just five or six days which is, in terms of where we have been, is tremendous. We are now doing what we can to help HSL because we are all now firmly on the same page, helping the club through this period."


https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.c...budget-2899899


Jim Adie -
"In turn, she can say to Jack Ross, 'remember I said to you it's one in, one out, well actually I've got £150,000 extra in my budget, so that guy you've had your eye on, phone his agent'.
"The sense of urgency is now because the market is effectively open. It's not going to be a lot of help if it takes us until November to add on an extra 1000 members, because the window will have closed.


KP - We can all play a part in making this a success. Keep doing what you do.

Reconstruction


The focus of the summer for the club has always been about football returning and future of Hibs – not getting caught up on drama going on elsewhere. If there is the right time in the future to make innovative, exciting and long-lasting change I’m sure we’ll be at the front of it.

Our charity arm has been running weekly calls with former players - Tommy McIntyre, Tam McManus, Keith Wright and Rob Jones to date – and more to come. These hour long sessions are an outstanding insight into our former heroes careers and time at Hibs and I would encourage you to give future sessions a consideration – Beuzelin next up.

No answer passed to me but I’ll ask the question again, following on from the above. I know all clubs are working to the wire with the same technical provider, Stream Digital, on their offerings. Standard Hibs TV subscription will be available minimum (UK audio and usual overseas feed).
