I've been fairly appalled at most things Hibernian for a while. I generally do look for the positives but it's increasingly difficult to see past the significant failings that are almost universal across the club.

I'm sure there's lots of good things happening but for whatever reason we are still moving backwards and all we are getting is empty words and rhetoric from the club.

It's on basic things as well, I manage a small team at my work and I'd be mortified if we were getting as much as wrong as Hibs are. I don't see any excuse or reason for it.

The season ticket draws are an example, I know a winner of the centre circle prize. He was supposed to have a meal with (IIRC) Terry Butcher and Pat Stanton at Easter Road (I believe it was meant to be on the pitch). Now clearly with Butcher tending to his shrubs that prize wasn't going to happen so instead he was asked along to Stanton's birthday celebration before the Cowdenbeath game. Instead of having the opportunity to chat with the manager and a club legend, he ended up at a table with the other winners with no interaction with any players/staff.
A very good prize turned into a disappointment, which is a shame.

The club to this day have still to respond to our email after relegation.

We still wait on Leeann Dempster's first post despite her clear assurance that she'd get online and get engaged with the support. That wasn't a sound bite taken out of context, I was sat three chairs from her when she said it.

I reckon I could do an essay on where and how we're going wrong, but I also reckon it'd be an absolutely pointless exercise.

Ludicrous. Aren't we still paying a Butcher? Make the **** come back, and the prize winner can throw ER pies at him!

We have all said ridiculous things on here many said in the heat of the moment or we were told something by someone who knew less than they gave the impression of. Me for one have learned that lesson and I was told many things and thank God I didnt post them or I might have had less that a chance of coming across as sincere.

I can tell you first hand that my dealing with LD are more than dissapointing and I am sure there is a lot of internal strife at the club.

All we are interested in getting a product on the park that we can get behind but I am sure that our debt position and liquidity and revenue streams are all a concern. We have enough to get by but we have relied on sales of players in the past which have been helpful and we are a selling club. That's not the issue but since Fletcher we have not really had a major asset to sell and the academy seems bereft of producing real talent. I'm sure that can be redressed but that would take time and that's time we don't have so what do we do?

I want Petrie out but shouting about it won't work and the only way we can have real change is bringing everyone together to create a unified and dignified fan base. Just because PK spoke for a number of fans he wont cover us all but neither will any other group "not in my name" people shout!

Well let's all wake up and accept that positive change will only happen if we all work together and make changes together.

STF - thank you but now we need a change , investment can be in a number of ways and if my personal dealing with LD are the basis of my judgement then I have no confidence in her.

I'm not even sure the announcement that should have been made will happen this week as I am sure there are lots of holes in it that haven't been plugged. Could it be that it was rushed due to the supporters survey?

Well thought out plans take time and we are really at last chance saloon, don't get it right now then our history will be all we have as the future looks bleak and so is the wilderness,,just ask Leeds fans!

Really frustrating for you, considering what work you have put in on top of your own role, do these people running our club not realise that we have work to do as well as our jobs.
You mentioned an announcement, what were we supposed to hear?

I heard it at the time and I agree with you - she said hopefully Sunday but if not, then early in the week at the latest.

Maybe LD has taken on far too much and can't/won't delegate properly.

I think she forgets that folk are listening to the interview.

like you I've worked in sales and marketing all my life, tried to help promote Hibs on numerous occasions, and fairly recently as well, with no luck. Replied to your PM

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Sadly we have been going backwards for at least 7/8 years now, this board just love sheep that say baa and little else, we should be right up there in the Premier division pushing for top 3 but look at us now, the board, frankly couldn't give a tom tit, well that's fine, as long as they take that stupid "wall of silence" attitude then that's fine they won't be getting anything from me, dire days ahead unless radical change IMO and it doesn't look as if it's going to change in the near future.

We have however real signs that Stubbs is doing a good job with what he has but I fear he will be emptied by the board who blame everyone except themselves.

Rant over.

Is there a change in feeling towards LD? People have been singing her praises since she arrived but some of what's being said in regards to the failings seems to be falling at her feet. She seemed to want better communication between club and fans but this doesn't seem to have changed, in fact it seems worse now that promises have been made that have been broken. Personally I wasn't fussed either way when she came in and I wasn't getting carried away with anything she said as we have heard it all before, but I still hope that she can turn this mess around. I do wonder if this isa much bigger job than she expected.

I wondered when she was appointed if she was another patsy put up by the owner and his chimp to take the flack away from them.

Initially i think their plan worked, but that's changing and i can see this turning ugly again very soon.

Really? She doesn't look like a patsy (previous employees may have done). I think she genuinely felt this was a big challenge and a chance to build her career in football, not be used as cover for others.

However, I do worry that there is an agenda here, where STF wants to hand over to some sort of community-owned model and that's the mandate she's been given. Regardless of issues elsewhere, she's going to plough on with that project while the club itself continues to decline.

In my view, it's time to park this stuff about fan representation etc until Hibs are back on the right path again.

[blackpoolhibs]

I don't think she is in charge of anything, I think she has to get everything passed by Petrie before she even farts.

Anyone attend the above meeting tonight like to share what was said

Thanks for making an effort to help the club. Hopefully someone else will see a value in your work sometime soon.

What meeting? Would be nice to know what ALL hibs fans are agreeing to now.

[bigwheel]

Does the lack of feedback from the meeting suggest very few people turned up ??

[Pretty Boy]

Keep an eye on the Holyrood Boxing Gym page on Facebook. There's usually some HOH stuff on there.

Nothing about last night yet though.

Was there a break to have a fag.

Seems an odd place to put this info is it a link to elsewhere or it promoting the gym?

Are the folks behind HOH the same as last time round - if so maybe they could inform Johnnyboy;)

The 'head honcho' with HOH also runs the gym.

I'm 99.9% sure JC has nothing to do with this set up.

[WHUHibs]

I'm sure JC would have nothing to do with this one!
In fact no-one should as it will have no credibility. !

Correct. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole

Have this lot apologised for circulating malicious lies yet? Give me a lifetime of Farmer and Petrie over whatever halfwits are behind this 'movement'.

With respect you must love it with these 2 mugs in charge of your team...

Unbelievable!

But I'm not suggesting for one minute we take the above people on board.

But we must get something on the table soon, very soon

Even if you're unhappy with the current ownership, you can't accuse people of financial impropriety without having proof to back up your claims, especially when your trying to gain as much publicity as possible.

Couldn't have put it more succinctly .
We need hard facts and policies not SPIN .
Look what has been /is/and will be happening at Ibrox when a bunch of " Hooray Henry's" get involved

No idea how reliable but seen this in Twitter..

@HibeesLatest: I can confirm from my sources that Rod Petrie WILL stand down at the end of the season. Rod's family members have told several people. #HFC
