I think the Shaz one was supposed to be quoting the Peter one (without doing it properly), not criticising KP

I think Shaz was just quoting the previous post and stating it was a poor one.

I totally agree with what you say about KP and as far as online presence there is no competition he's by far and away the best fans rep we've had. I'd given up on them before he was voted in, he's proved to me there is a place for them.

Shaz was agreeing with the majority, that the original post was poor. It’s just the copied text wasn’t in a quote box

KP My children's and their friends strips aren't being sent out until September. How did the club decide which 7000 would get theirs and more importantly which of us wouldn't. I presume you got yours ok?

Peter you have just taken the first step to communication skills. Now direct your enquiry to Easter Road .
A apology to power wouldn't go amiss while your at it.
Or are you just at it

Very poor patter for sure, I know KP and he doesn't sell, manufacture, market or do delivery of Football strips for Hibs or anyone else.

And as for queue jumping, more likely to sacrifice his place in the queue to help out.

Morning all,

August update can be found here - https://tinyurl.com/y5hspcdc lift a drop below.

Here whenever you need me.

[Power]

How is everyone doing? I do hope you and yours are as good as can be and Hibernian’s return to football has been a welcome boost for you.

Another hope is that we can close off August in a strong way - a very promising start – we should be assured of our craft and graft so far but with still plenty of room for improvement. 14 points from 18 was the players aim when they assessed the first 6 games and their one point away from that going into game 6 at the weekend. A comment from within the club ‘We don’t accept to win one, lose one and draw one. We’re resilient to win everything’. Always available through known channels and kpower@hibernianfc.co.uk if you need anything.

Last Thursday (20th August 2020) The First Minister announced her hope that stadia and entertainment venues can reopen by 14 September (These further changes will only be possible if everything continues in a positive trajectory – decision likely on September 10th by all accounts). There isn’t much more information coming from the Government on this – no guidelines or what the first milestone may be – with the lack of finer detail until, what will likely be, close to the decision day the club has been proactive working up 4-5 different plans for having supporters returning to Easter Road but there is so many variables, I’m sure it is frustrating not being able to plan with certainty. I know the Scottish Joint Response Group has been asking for clarity on a number of points. Very much watch this space moving into early September but positive news nonetheless.

KP - Still lots of questions but once we all know a bit more I’m certain the club will push some comms out in a timely manner about its position and approach. Very much high on my pad to stay close to this for supporters as this date looms closer

_____________________

The Match on Hibs TV returns this weekend for the third airing. This offering will continue to get smoother (feedback has been passed on about Studio audio) and it was great to hear that a high percentage rate of season ticket holders (80-85%) were signing in to use Hibspass to watch our opening games. If any issues or questions pop up the club does have a dedicated support team at Stream Digital available – support@hibernianfc.co.uk.





The revamped Hibs TV platform is now available to Season Ticket holders (This will include audio for away games).

A potential big benefit noted in this bizarre footballing landscape is the full squad and the (expanded numbers) substitute bench surrounding the dugout at home matches. This has a look and feel of travelling away with your football club in younger years and youth groups - all being in it together with a common goal, supporting your teammates – not really an opportunity at elite first team level with packed grounds. Great to see the camaraderie between the players, definitely a tight group at the moment, commandeered well by the experienced players in the squad.

A few questions asked about how Hibs Players have been handling lockdown and is the club ensuring it’s staff and players follow Government strict guidelines during the easing of lockdown. Graeme Mathie on the recent Longbangers podcast brought to life the effort the club and players have went to ensure they serve and represent our supporters as exemplars. The club has enhanced the player code of conduct at this time to protect everyone associated with the club. There was more great questions and fantastic insight shared on this podcast I would recommend you give it a listen if you haven’t already – available here >

I’ve been working with the club and supporters on a number of issues and points recently;

Email communications – The club issued a request in July to ensure Supporters details were up-to-date (

http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10685

). Being up-to-date is more important now than it ever was before and this is working in the main for the majority of supporters. There is a small band of supporters not receiving weekly updates (Latest news ahead of matches, relevant digital programme and more). If you believe you’re one of the small band not receiving official communication please do check your credentials (steps in link just above) and, if needed, the next stage of contacting the club and they will review immediately with their data partners to fix. Please contact commercial@hibernianfc.co.uk providing your name and client reference. Thanks for your perseverance there.


Strip fulfilments – The small clubstore were working round the clock to get through the initial 7,000 home strip pre-order. This has now been completed and includes the Away strip plus release of the very popular goalkeeper strips. Thank you for your patience and understanding to those that have to wait a little longer, especially those with infant and very small children orders (a delay on socks).

The window to order strips again is here and includes larger sizes sold out super fast last time round - HOME STRIPS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

_____________________

3,000 new season cards for new purchases, movers and class changes are being worked up and through by the Ticket Office (new opening hours for the hard working team, 10am-1pm Monday to Friday - http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10711). Additionally they’re preparing the 1,000 Hibs Kids packs for issue and working manually and individually through emailing the 11,000 Digital Season Ticket to supporters which will act as a second option (The digital card is sent by email to the lead booker rather than the individual season ticket holder). Any questions, they’re always super helpful and available tickets@hibernianfc.co.uk

Morning all,

Firstly, I hope you, your friends and families are still all safe and well as we go again at this unprecedented pandemic together. Always just an email or a message away if I can help with anything, anytime - kpower@hibernianfc.co.uk.

September gone in a flash and another busy month coming up, 7 games in October, all set for it to be a positive one. Transfer window shuts on October 5th.

The return to support has hit a bump in the road with the landscape changing again. It now looks increasingly likely that we won't see fans at grounds in 2020 (most teams will have been sensible and budgeted for no fans this year/season despite the hope of partial crowds). The actual game at elite level isn't at risk, the Scottish Premiership season will continue but phased return of fans is postponed until the situation improves greatly, Hibs are ready for supporters whenever that is. We will continue to hear positive working dialogue between the Joint Response Group (backed respectfully by the clubs) and the Government on moving forward in the coming weeks.


The excellent blog by Colin Millar, Senior Operations Manager, has been shared here previously and if you haven't read it then I would definitely point you towards it, fantastic insight and this will give you an idea of the effort the team behind the scenes will be preparing for our return (which includes a nod towards our new PA system being up and live (no more buzzing or low sounds!)) -https://medium.com/@colinmillar/what-goes-on-behind-closed-doors-at-easter-road-be45482702d4


More to come and hear about from the club over the short term - Hibs TV content, Inside the Box raffles, Season Ticket Exclusives, pictures of personalised cut-outs etc.


Hibernian Supporters - www.hiberniansupporters.co.uk - are within touching distance of the 1 million pound contributions to the clubsince 2015 - the lasting direct impact of this will stand the test of time(none more so than contributing towards 2016) - http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10739

______________________________

I would like to update you on what I've brought to the board's attention on behalf of supporters.

Supporting Supporters
Our Supporters will continue to face difficult times - Hibernian continues to play a significant part of our fans lives and morale (results always help (!)but it goes further than that). Create positivity and unity in the coming weeks and months to make our fans, the community, city and wider club proud. Supporters will need us more than ever.

KP - There have been a number of excellent interviews circulating recently - Ron interviewed by Sky and STV, Leeann leading the conversations on moving the game forward and insightful content from our squad - Porteous the most recent. More to come I'm sure.

______________________________

The club are pleased to offer a Pay-per-view option to Supporters for Hamilton (The club will communicate about the Brora match shortly). There are a few important things to note. The platform hosting PPV has nothing to do with anyother Hibernian account you may have and you need to register. To access the PPV details follow here - http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10755

Hibspass.com for Season Ticket holders (as now normal). Hibs TV available for Season Ticket holders too.

______________________________

The clubstore has a new contact option for those that use twitter -@HibsClubstore - and Instagram and Facebook - @Hibernianclubstore - a handycontact option.

The adult Home Jersey is back IN STOCK and available to buy online and instore.

The Ticket Office has moved to opening in person between 10am-1pm every Friday - Any questions can still be directed to the helpful tickets@hibernianfc.co.uk

http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10741
______________________________

The Scottish Cup Semi Final has now been confirmed and scheduled for Saturday 31st October, with a 5pm kick-off at Hampden behind closed doors. The matchwill be live on BBC Scotland and Premier Sports.

KP - No fans is not what everyone associated with the club will have wanted but that is the hand that has been dealt and now it is time for the team to hit it straight on. Your backing and support from afar shouldn't be underestimated, I've seen a number of humbling words shared with the club from supporters recently and the energy that gives everyone at the club is massive.

Lewis Stevenson entered the top 5 of most appearances for Hibernian in September (487 - equalling Eddie Turnbull) 15 years since he made his debutaway to Ayr United in 2005 is a remarkable achievement in modern football. He is still going strong too. I've been told about countless stories fromsupporters of how he would go out of his way to do anything for them (and that would make that supporters day but he would never realise that, it's just what he does). Without doubt, the nicest, down to earth guy up at HTC, making sureanyone in that building is welcome.
