    You had emails if you are an HSL member and it was mentioned on here lots of times.

    HSL remains committed to acquiring shares, especially to reach the highly important 25.1%. This will be a challenge but not impossible.
    HSL will shortly canvass all members asking how they would like their contributions to be used i.e. solely for the acquisition of shares, solely to the playing budget or a mix of both.
    All funds currently held will be retained by HSL as a reserve for share purchases.
    Comms covering all of this will be issued to members imminently

    Thanks for this.

    when you say they are going to canvass all members on how contributions are to be used, do you mean all the members vote and the majority is what the funds go towards, or do you mean every individual member gets to decide what his/her money is used for?

    I will stop my measly £10 per month unless it goes to the football budget. Others will have their own preference which is fair enough but that’s mine

    The feeling at last week's meeting at ER was that each individual member should have the chance to decide where their personal contributions go (shares, playing budget etc) and the design of the HS website should allow this to happen quite easily. Unless something different was discussed at the Hibs Club last night (I wasn't at the meeting yesterday) I think this is the proposition that will be put to members for approval.

    You don't want to contribute to the football budget?

    Sorry my post is poorly worded. I only want my money to go to the football budget.

    Your previous post suggests the opposite, just badly phrased.

    My understanding is that each member will be canvassed and the funds disbursed in accordance with their wishes. If you want your money to be used to buy shares, it will be. If it is to go to the football dept that's where it will end up.
    HSL will no doubt confirm the exact arrangements shortly.

    Nothing to stop Hibs diverting Season Ticket money, advertising money etc away from the football budget so actually the footabll budget remains the same just HSL money is now part of the football budget

    Very true. I guess it’s all about trust

    I’ll take the gamble of the money at least going into the club rather than a shareholder’s pocket

    Absolutely, if i was paying my money i'd prefer it to go to a Transfer budget, but i'm not convinced that would make our transfer budget significantly bigger as money from other sources would be diverted away. Unless of course we ended up being like FOH with 8K active members

    Am I correct in thinking that what you are proposing is that the playing budget is made up of contributions from just one part of the Hibs support ie HSL ?

    Seems fairer if the budget is made up from contributions from all supporters..

    Maybe I'm alone in my thinking but before I donate anymore money I need to see a clear statement from both HSL and the club which informs us exactly what their intentions are. I would like the club to make it clear that season ticket money and gate money is used towards the team, i.e. bringing in and paying players. They should make it clear that money from HSL for team purposes won't mean that the equivalent amount is diverted from season tickets and gate receipts for other costs.

    I'm disappointed that nearly a million pounds already raised hasn't already found it's way to the team budget. I was always, until very recently that is, under the impression that was the purpose of it all, i.e. I thought the previous owners had said that share money would go to the team budget but perhaps I am imagining that. It needs to be sorted promptly otherwise I can see many donation sources pulling out.

    When’s the deadline to be on 1875 Franks to be a founding member?

    I would join if I receive guarantees that my contribution would go directly to the Club in order to create a healthy transfer kitty or go towards players signing on fees /wages.

    As for share purchase, then no thanks.

    Any word on whether trading in private shares would contribute towards getting your name on the shirt?

    Not something I’ve personally heard discussed but sure it’s something Jim and the board could answer.

    It’s been £225/1875 Francks from the initial launch I think so unless share donation is worth £225 some might feel it’s unfair - one to email them about.

    Think the smallest share purchase you could make at the last issue was £200, so the shares plus £25 would be enough. Could be a good way to get people to part with their shares. Name on the shirt as good as name on a bit of pair.

    Yeah agree that’s a good idea. There was talk at the Easter Road meeting last week to find out the minimum number of shares you need to hold on to to continue to get an invite to the AGM.

    HS has suggested keeping 50 shares as a way to keep a share certificate/AGM invite and then donate the rest to help HS in their goal to achieve 25.1%.

    Perhaps if they could offer Francks in exchange for shares they may get some more people coming forward ahead of the third kit deadline in October.

    Thats you adding to the negativity again.

    Tell us how you know the million pounds raised hasn't found its way to the team budget.

    At last week's meeting Leeann confirmed that HSL money did indeed go to the playing budget. There is no doubt that some of the players signed over the past few years would not have arrived had it not been for HSL contributions.

    We're not sure if we are talking at cross purposes here but for the avoidance of any doubt we are happy to confirm that all previous funds raised prior to the recent transaction has been passed to the Club and has been spent on player wages etc. This has been confirmed by Leeann and indeed I understand that all previous Fan Rep Directors have confirmed this.

    If you are an HSL Member you will very shortly be giving us your instructions regarding going forward. In terms of all future funds being passed to the Club for the football Team we sense that all, if not most of our Members, are happy with the current arrangement and trust our Board that funds passed to them will be directed to the Football Dept.

    Remember the FOH didn't always have 8k Members, they had to grow to that figure. Help us to grow.
