The only danger to us finishing 3rd/4th is Livi, the rest will be hoping for 6th. It will take a real collapse for us not to finish outside the top 5. We really should have been challenging for 2nd with a better manager though.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Millionaire owner should cover the costs surely now hes not stopped shares being given out.
If you want to own something you can pay to run it.

Stuff like this, and any fundraising/marketing when trying to raise cash for Hibs, is always at the mercy of the team doing their bit on the pitch. It was looking like we might have hit the incredibly ambitious target of £100k with a decent result last night and a bit of wind in our sails.
As can happen in football sometimes we’re now dealing with people asking HS to hold on to the money until a different manager can spend it, asking for a refund, asking the owner to put his hand in his pocket etc etc.
Hibernian Supporters is there to back to club financially through an incredibly difficult period just now and it will continue to do so win, lose or draw. We’re all disappointed with the result last night but regardless of that the Hampden drive is going to raise a significant sum of money for the club - the club we all support and will continue to support regardless of who’s in charge or who is the principle shareholder.
The frustration is understandable and I anticipate a few hostile replies to the first post that goes out from the HS social media accounts next time we have an update on the sums raised this month but if we stopped trying to help every time Hibs turned in a disappointing result we wouldn’t get very far, would we?
A thanks again to everyone who has backed the drive so far, I’m sure there will be some contributions coming in between now and the end of the month as the dust settles - fingers crossed we can deliver a decent sum of cash to help the club make the most of the rest of this season and beyond.

Crap results will come and go for sure, Hibs always need to be around. Thanks for all you've taken the trouble to do to ensure this happens.

Had to hold off till today because of my payday but one off donation made. Like everyone, disappointed in the outcome but a worthwhile initiative.

Those talking of cancelling DDs or asking for refunds have it completely backwards.... this initiative is to help the club.
Do you think stopping donations or asking for refunds will do that?
If anything don’t you think increasing awareness of the campaign is the way to rectify things that are bothering you...? Some want new CBs some a new striker... do you think these come free? During a pandemic?
Pull ur heads out and lift your fingers from the keyboard and save the rest of us the trouble of having to read these negative rantings.

During pandemic there is certain times I couldn’t give a damn about Hibs as quite frankly there are more important things in life. So if I stop my donations I will have 0 guilt.
Maybe club could sign a CB or strikers instead of signings centre mids constantly?
Irony in this is your post is a negative rant.

HSL has and continues to give our club money that makes possible the signing of better players and a better chance of winning silverware.
Yesterday was another great chance to win silverware. It was another major failure to win silverware but there will be other opportunities to win silverware in the future.
Quitters never win and winners never quit🤞

In the context of a global pandemic anyone is entitled to do what they need to do to make ends meet... if I missed this point in the posts I have read then I apologise.
In the context of cancelling donations cos we lost a semi final then well I think those ‘fans’ need to take a long look at themselves.
Also don’t think my post was a needless negative rant like most I’m responding to... and can only be viewed as negative by those I’m describing too.

Don’t think you understand sacrifice and what bad things do to decision making. Probably can’t see it from your pedestal anyway.
If stopping my donations suddenly makes me a ‘fan’ then you can call me a ‘fan’ pretty soon as I’ve had enough of this condescending attitude while I sacrifice hard-earned cash to Hibs.

If you are cancelling as you have other needs that the money will go better towards then as I have already said do so as well. Supporting the club through HSL is not a right, it’s a privilege... no one is asking to put the cause before more important things.
I don’t sacrifice any of my hard earned cash on HSL... I donate an amount that I deem affordable, if I couldn’t afford to then I wouldn’t donate... poor results won’t change my opinion on whether it’s ‘worth it’.Last edited by BlackSheep; 24-01-2021 at 06:05 PM.

I’m just a ‘fan’ so I’ll stop my DD this week. Wasn’t going to but I won’t be treated like a lesser fan because I’m deemed to be negative. I’ll leave making donations to the honourable that are able to step up and become true fans. Done with this rubbish, always fans fault.

And yes, I am entitled to feel however I feel about whatever I want to pass judgement on, it’s bloody human nature to have an emotional reaction to something, to anything and in this instance I’m feeling disappointed in someone cancelling their support for the club down to one specific result.
You’ve made this completely about yourself, and I’ve obviously hit a nerve with my ‘fans’ comment.... so be it, but that’s my opinion and guess what, I’m entitled to form my own opinion as well.... regardless of what anyone says or thinks, that’s my choice and I’ll stand by it.
Not once have you come out and said you have other financial needs that are now worth it more than donating to hibs...you’ve simply said, and I’m paraphrasing, ‘we played rubbish last night so I’m cancelling my donations’... your priorities are your own and not once have i suggested you shouldn’t stop your DD, only that in my opinion doing so on the back of a poor result seems not really in the spirit of the whole thinking behind HSL.Last edited by BlackSheep; 24-01-2021 at 06:21 PM.

Also it’s not the ability to donate towards HSL and hibs that makes anyone more of a fan than any other, but pulling your financial support simply cos of one result is definitely a reason to call you a ‘fan’.

You stand by your ‘fan’ nonsense all you want. This measurement of a fan that seems to get done by those holier-than-thou is tiresome. Driven me away from contributing anymore. You made it about me by calling out who you perceive to be ‘fans’.
My life is more important than Hibs.

HSL have been more than humble about the support they’ve received... what else do you expect?? They’ve even put your name on a shirt... that’s something special, but you obviously want more.
I don’t think many folk would say hibs are more important than most things in their life... not sure what point your making there... unless you are saying you have actively given money to HSL over more important aspects of your life... if that’s the case I think it’s a good thing you cancel as if you need to use the cash elsewhere then do so... football is not worth struggling financially for anyone.

HSL have been very respectful about situations etc. and they are doing a great job. Never said anything about that.
You however have done ‘sacrifice’ and ‘fans’ and seem to think you can judge any decisions I make regarding HSL. I’m done with it because of that. You have absolutely no right.
Just to clarify I’m not struggling financially but I’ve stopped my DD. Not putting up with this level of nonsense when I can have a bit extra in my wallet every month. Ludicrous to be critiqued for what is essentially a charitable donation.

I can’t speculate on your donation amount but unless you are sacrificing a hefty part of your pay packet then I wouldn’t call it a ‘sacrifice’ whatsoever.... and by calling it a sacrifice so often it makes one think you DO expect something in return...
Off you pop...
In fact the nonsense you’ve spouted for the past hour or so has inspired me to up my donations...

To stop contributing because you are struggling financially is completely understandable, to stop contributing because of one result or because you have taken offence to something an internet stranger has said is completely childish.
