Just Watched the YouTube video of Ron Gordon passing and the thing that struck me was Ian Gordon looking at that horrible bunch of huns disrespecting his father's tribute, yes I know it's all about money but let's do what hearts do and give them as little tickets as we can even if it means giving tickets at a reduced price in that end get them as far away from our club as possible.
Rant over.

Its no better or worse than them singing about killing Catholics every time they come to Easter road. Hibs made a decision long ago that they will tolerate discrimination for enough money.

Until we can fill the seats you'd take away from the Huns allocation ourselves, they'll be getting a full South stand.

It's pay to hate.
I think St Mirren cut their allocation at the start of last season without really filling the seats. They have actually reported bigger home support attendance against the 'other 10' with a suggestion some home fans stay away against that pair. Likewise Aberdeen cut their allocation a while back to the same as everyone else rather than the additional section they used to get, again they don't fill the rest of their stadium. Hearts cut their allocation because they have the fans to fill the seats currently.
The rest are aware of what is sung but choose to ignore it because they need the money. When 70% of McDiarmid Park was given over to Rangers fans last week you can see that it's not changing anytime soon. It's a pointless conversation, the clubs aren't interested. I've had the conversation with at least 2 people at Hibs and they speak to you as if you are daft for even suggesting we should take some kind of stand.

At at time when we are struggling to reach the top 6 and mutiny in the stands after yesterday we need an owner who will step up and weed out people who are not good enough for the club.
Problem is, Ian Gordon was involved in bringing most of these people into key roles at the club. On the surface his family have been generous, however in the last couple of years debts have increased.
We hardly got a peep out of him at the AGM.
Respect to Ron for stumping up the cash to buy the club, but Ian is now our owner by default.
Is he up to the job?

My take is he’s the rather timid son of a “force of nature” type father, see the tv series “Succession”.
He may or may not be competent, I’ve actually heard many people who have come into contact with him say that he is. But I think he needs to grow into a role - very quickly - that he maybe never anticipated having.
Media training, speaking in public training - big companies often spend fortunes on training people they see talent in to have the full skill set for the role. With us, it’s his ba’ and he chooses who gets to play with it so it may be up to him to work out that this is what he needs rather than having anyone to tell him how to do it.
One thing is for sure - he has a massive opportunity to make his dad proud, by being a success in something they thought they were going to be doing together.
I’d dearly love to see him be a success but I think he needs to work on himself to be up to what is required. It’s not an impossibility though.

I imagine the club/Ian Gordon would admit mistakes have been made but their actions have been in the best interests of the club. Questioning decisions made is totally valid but if someone is telling lies about things like the debt then that's disgusting behaviour.
There may be a perfectly reasonable explanation and if so, I expect Hibees1973 will come along and explain it.Last edited by 007; 08-04-2024 at 12:08 AM.

You really are on a mission to sow the seeds of division aren’t you.

That's no different from the previous situation, where the Gordons would have needed others to support an EGM motion.

That hasn't really changed. The Gordons would always have needed "others"
