Latest Twitter activity hasn’t gone down well. And I can fully understand why tbh. Hype the fans up early in the day saying there will be a 2pm announcement only to announce a new shirt sponsor.

NO ONE CARES HIBS!!

Fair enough tell us about it, but don’t get our hopes up that it’s going to be a new signing or kit reveal

it’s not even a new shirt sponsor, it’s a promotion to the front of the jersey

Hibs twitter team have to be trolls for this.

[Danderhall Hibs]

It is good news though isn’t it?

Just cos some folk made up that it was Griffiths signing and are now angry they were wrong doesn’t take away that fact.

That's really poor from Hibs tbh and I've been one to defend the comms recently

It is good news, yes. But they should just be posting this good news without the teaser hours before which hightens anticipation and expectation levels that it's a big signing. The club really, really aren't doing themselves any favours on social media recently.

The toxicity on the replies is absolutely shocking and some folk need to have a serious word with themselves

I care, the video with Stanton was a really really good watch and in the middle of a pandemic any money coming into the club is good news

Some of our fans are right turn faced disasters, I've now done a total 180 on the Twitter admin, hope they continue to troll the **** out of people

Fwiw I also think the toxicity is horrific and there is no place for the language used in some of the replies.

I also care that we’re getting money into the club via sponsorship. I don’t care enough however to be drip fed the news as if it’s something to get excited about.

[CraigHibee]

More money for the club, what's not to like about it.

Same folk moaning on twitter as per 🙄 wonder what it would actually take to get a positive comment from them

[Radium]

Very good launch of a sponsor putting a significant sum into the club with a good promo with Pat Stanton.

Predictable backlash that took so little time to show itself that many hadn’t even watch the link

Correct. It's good news (and a decent video) but communicated all wrong

Significant investment ,good news day.

Aye probably but it’s obvious people are going to assume better news than a new sponsor

Fwiw, my take on it is when the club tweets something like they did earlier on it’s only natural for supporters to believe it’s a new signing or strips etc because that’s what gets people excited. From a business perspective a new sponsor is obviously exciting but purely from a supporters perspective it’s not all that exciting (despite it obviously brining in more cash)

And purely for that reason I’d wish they’d leave big announcements/big build ups for strips/contracts/signings

[Northernhibee]

Even if it cost a couple of hundred season tickets, I’d totally back the club if they were to say to some of the Twitter posters “you’re not welcome back into Easter Road “ and block them.

Why would they do that though? It’s a social media platform for every to voice their opinion. By all means block the accounts sending abuse but to turn away people by saying you aren’t welcome at ER would be madness

Actions have consequences and if people are giving our social media abuse then they need to be big grown ups and realise that has a consequence.

You can guarantee that they wouldn’t say that to their face. Why does Twitter make that any difference?

[HFC93]

Some absolute throbber Hibs supporters on Twitter. Outraged at everything we post.Tragic behaviour.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Better put a tweet out saying “sorry, you’re correct. We’ll now aim to ensure you aren’t excited about anything and will do our best not to keep you informed of stuff. Particularly stuff you really cared about last year.”

If someone gave a Hibs employee abuse at ER they would likely get banned I don't see why social media should be any different, by all means be upset if you want but some of the abuse is way out of order

If someone came up to me in the street and said “Wait here 3 hours and I’ll be back with some good news!” And then came back and said “Hibs have a new sponsor!” I’d probably tell him to piss off tbf

[B.H.F.C]

It’s good news that we’ve finally managed to get a sponsor on the front of our top.

But nae need for the big build up.

Social media is an absolute minefield. The sooner it’s regulated or folk made accountable the better.

got to wonder what the “support” part of “supporter” means?

If I was the sponsor I'd want the hype and the build up rather than just a brief mention on a website that few are going to read.

[Tambo]

really good promo video though.

If social media is anything to go by, a hell of a lot of folk won’t even have bothered reading the article once they’ve seen the initial tweet isn’t something they deem to be good news.

Surely you'd want the sponsorship communicated in a way that is least likely to attract any negative exposure which (while I don't agree with it) was always going to be the case with the way Hibs hyped it up and the toxic nature of social media.

Because people on social media can pretend to be people they're not.

Block them by all means, don't ban them from Easter Road

[Pretty Boy]

Just announce the sponsor. It's good news by any measure but it didn't need a 2 hour tease.

Announce it and people say 'Oh that's good'. Do a daft build up and people say 'you're trolling us', 'sack the Twitter guy' etc etc.

The latter isn't right. No one deserves the abuse the guy gets but it was just a total misread of a situation.

Exactly.
It's almost as if every piece of news has to be vetted by the brain dead twitterati then lost in a barrage of barely literate abuse.
Ironic that some decent Hibs twitter accounts are full of old Hands Off Hibs memories today while the generation we fought so hard to preserve the club for behave like petulant toddlers.

I care. People have been complaining for ages about not having a sponsor, we’ve got a really good one now. Excellent news.

Just don't announce it at all then. That should attract a decent sponsor.

They didn't hype anything up.

They released a wee teaser.

You might not care, but a "significant" 6 figure sponsorship deal pays for players.

Stop moaning, get real and grow up!
