Must he great to have no credit card debt, be mortgage free and know that your pension is well funded.
I mean you wouldn’t be giving your cash away to highly paid footballers if you hadn’t sorted yourself out first right?
I always here the mantra “only donate if you can afford it”.
Well, unless you’ve sorted out all of the above, you can’t afford it if you’re anything like the average person in the uk.
£20 a month over 20 years could mean thousands in your future self’s pocket.
Just think about that for a moment.

It's just unfortunate that the lack of clarity in some of the communication has led to endless debate on the minutiae of the setup but we can't expect a fully professional marketing and comms operation when it's being run by volunteers. I'm grateful to those that give up their own time to run it on our behalf.

HSL isn't perfect but some of us are happy to contribute. Why knock it at every opportunity?Last edited by hibbybob; 13-10-2019 at 09:24 AM.

This is an argument for never doing anything ever.
Why are you buying tickets for football matches? Or anything you enjoy? It only eats into your pension...

The donation from NEW donors from 1 Oct 19 will go 100% to the football management of the Club.
A lot of the recent confusion is due to the words "Vote" and "Poll" being used in announcements and posts when neither are appropriate on this occasion. My first para explains what it was but I can't think of a single word which would specify it unambiguously.
Looking forward to HSL's response!

Someone earning, say £20k a year giving their cash to someone earning £200k a year?
You crack on but don’t ever complain about austerity or your standard of living!

If your grievance is against PH and not HSL you're on the wrong thread.
And just for the record HSL pre-dates PH and 21/5/16 so probably did contribute to that wonderful day - even if just playing a small part in getting McGinn, McGeoch or Stokes to the club!

Hoping the AGM might at least give us a clue, especially around what ponying up might amount to but i won't be interested in any more infrastructure or property investments which need to be a distant goal to the on the pitch offering for the foreseeable future.

This season so far I’ve bought 2 STs and 2 hospitality deals so probably around grand.

You’re the one doing the name calling.
You’re in the fortunate position of being able to do what you want. Others aren’t so lucky.

I have just checked the official HSL website, and they are still claiming on the front page "to raise funds to acquire shares in Hibernian Football Club"
This has been untrue since October 1st. I find this really unacceptable for HSL not to have changed the website or taking it down until it is corrected .
Earlier on this thread i asked how HSL will deal with voting at the AGM with no reply . Anyone know? We now own 15.4% of our club, so if there is a vote on something at an AGM will we all be balloted on it first?

I'm skint, that's why I live abroad, its a cheaper lifestyle, but any little bit I can do to help provide success and allow us to compete with other teams at our level is worth it in my eyes.

Not sure why VAT should stop something happening. Most of the money going into Hibs attracts VAT. They don’t shut up the shop as a result.

Meanwhile HSL can continue with its original aim of acquiring shares in the club as they become available.
Now is the best time to seperate these two totally different things.

I have a problem with new donators becoming members and a say on the shareholding when they’ve never contributed to it - their donation will just be chucked at the club.
HSL wasn’t perfect, but I think it might have helped if RG, AP or LD had explained why the new owner wanted to rip up the share transfer agreement - I think it’s reasonable for HSL to be able to explain to its members why the club still wants us to donate but the club no longer wants to give us minority ownership through shares. I don’t necessarily think that’s a worry, but the lack of an explanation is worrying. Unless I’ve missed it - which is possible. LD for example must know she sits on both boards.
