It's for the whole month of January, right? So we might see a surge in donations if we win on Saturday.

Either way myself and three mates made our payments last night, expected to come out on the 27th I think it said.

Let's keep this going!

Yes it’s for the whole month - all donations initiated on the website by 31st Jan will be included in the total

It took me until this week to be able to do this donation. It’s a bad time of year and most people are on a 6 week month. I’m usually pretty carefully with my cash because of my away ST but that control has gone out the window cause of no football to go to. Saying all that £100k is 4000 people donating £25 each so it is definitely achievable and I hope there will be an upsurge in donations come payday next week. Great initiative and great work by HSL, this is certainly the most visible campaign I’ve seen on social media from them so far.

Thanks for your generosity OTG. I think there were a lot of fair comments about visibility made previously. Hopefully we can keep making the right noises in the future.

As ever, only donate what you can, and IF you can. A lot of things that are far more important than football, particularly right now.

(Although it won't feel like it come kick off tomorrow).

Stop greeting eh. No even half way through the month yet. It’s a 5/6 week month for most after the most expensive time of year. See where we are at the end of the month. Sure you’ll be delighted if it doesn’t go much higher though

Behave yourself daft lad. You’re getting cynicism mixed up with affiliation.

What would the normal figure for 14th January be?

I could be wrong but further up the thread I read it to be around £20k? Could be wrong.

awfully unfair. The amount of work iggy did with the HSL badges and you think he wants it to fail?

hopefully the end figure for January will be our highest monthly contribution, even if it doesn’t reach 100k

I still have a couple if Dazzling Doidge guy wants one.

The figure brought in for the whole of December was just less than £22,000.

In a normal month we’d probably be around the £10,000 figure midway through the month.

***BlackSheep*** · 22-01-2021 01:28 PM

500 folk just spent £50 on the LS500 shirt.... that’s £25k in less than 3 hours....

Why has this campaign taken at least 2 weeks to reach a similar figure?

He should be buying a FEW badges after that senseless comment earlier about you hoping the initiative fails or is a flop??? Good to see you can humour that nonsense iggy and well done for donating to this and all the work you done regarding the badges etc you have done for HSL

Two different things

Maybe because people are actually getting something directly for their money? I don’t think it’s fair to compare the two

Some people already contribute monthly and may not want to pay any more. Some people may not be in the position to do it yet due to end of month payday. Some maybe cannot afford it.

I’m a monthly contributor but will also pay my £25 over next week 👍

People are buying an item with the Stevenson shirt.

People are giving away money for the Hampden100k initiative.

I wouldn't call it giving away money to be fair to HSL, its a vital income stream for the club during a hard time for businesses everywhere.

A £50 training shirt with some extra printing on it will come and go, but supporting the club finically could be the difference in us going under, just look at Killie.

You are so right Black Sheep

**CB_NO3** · 22-01-2021 02:52 PM

I seem to be having some issues with my account. I have emailed HSL. Can one of the members have a look. I want to donate but cant.

While you're right that the money going to HSL will be making a difference, there is no tangible return on your money. So from an individual perspective, one is buying something, the other is giving away money.

Thank you for your kind words. There has been a number of people involved in this, all fellow Hibees and volunteers.

Our analysis of this was as straightforward as yours. We thought as many as 2000 of our existing Members may have contributed and perhaps as many as 2000 supporters who have never donated but who would have attended Hampden. For that reason we believed the target was achievable and indeed remains achievable. Word of mouth is best so please feel free to reach out to a fellow supporter.

Hibernian Supporters

Donations have just tipped past the £25,000 mark for contributions up to 15th January, momentum is building nicely - keep spreading the word to those who might be in a position to donate.

Most likely wrong if you ask me.

Post #367 clarifies thanks.

Good to see this highlighted again in the latest pre match club email

***3pm*** · 22-01-2021 07:32 PM

Just got this email.

Message from Jack Ross
We have just received a delightful call from Jack Ross. He has asked us to pass on the following message to all our Members/Donators.

“I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to everyone involved with Hibernian Supporters and their Hampden 100k campaign, whether it’s the volunteers behind the scenes or those who have kindly donated. I speak on behalf of the club when I say we would have loved to walk out to a sea of green and white at Hampden tomorrow and we’re looking forward to having everyone back as soon as it’s safe to do so. In the meantime, the support we’ve received in these unprecedented times has been incredible and greatly appreciated. We know it’s a difficult time for everyone and it’s been heartening that so many are still going above and beyond for their club. It’ll be in our thoughts at Hampden. Enjoy the game.”

Rest assured our donations right now are making a difference. Please spread the word to other fans who you think would have been at the game tomorrow and encourage them to visit www.hiberniansupporters.co.uk

Contribution made.

***Jonnyboy*** · 22-01-2021 08:08 PM

Am a monthly contributor and have decided to also donate a further two match tickets equivalent.

Thank you to all the HSL volunteers - keep up the good work!
