Mr Sifter Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Can someone help me out here. I recall seeing a copy of an email/letter from the Haig fund confirming that any outstanding debt had been paid. Can anyone provide it for me? Just to deal with a rabid hobo on Facebook. Cheers ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunks Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I read a statement from the charity in a paper at the time - can't remember which one though, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunks Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Found it: Lady Haig?s Poppy Factory and McCrae?s Battalion Trust are both listed in official documents as being owed money, but both have confirmed that this is not the case.

Paolo Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The charity confirmed it was paid to the EEN. They also confirmed to BDO, when the list of creditors was published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic Username Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 This "stole from charities" pish makes it sound like we've kicked an old Salvation Army biddy to the ground and taken her collection tin off her in the middle of the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylelauren01 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Also wrong that the "clubs own charity" Big Hearts was owed ?34k. That was a load of keech as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Didn't someone from JKB personally confirm it had been paid? Seem to recall a poster categorically saying he seen first hand that it was. Even before EEN printed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucky Thompson Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Why would you need 'proof' for any rabid Hobo? Even if you slapped him around the face with the 'proof' he would still deny it existed.

DETTY29 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 This is the kind of thread that gives hibees stiffies the mere mention charities may have been cheated. If any of them bring it up with me I just say .'No charities were cheated by Hearts. But you knew that anyway, didn't you?'And leave it at that and walk away. No explanation required.

Rudolf's Mate Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Was it not Gasman who paid it? That was the one I was thinking of. Didn't want to say he actually paid it in case I was wrong but thought that was the case. Seem to recall it was being debated over whether it was or not and he gave a pretty straight answer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queensferryjambo Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Seriously if you are arguing with someone who wants to use charity payments that have very publicly been paid there is no point in arguing. Their minds are made up no matter what the facts are - it is petty point scoring. I have had to remind people that whilst Hearts may have owed charities money it has since been paid and also that Hearts and their supporters have paid tens if not hundreds of thousands of pounds into these charities over decades. The charities themselves appreciate the support shown by Hearts and their supporters and appreciate the mess the club was left in. The same charities will continue to get contributions from Hearts and their supporters for generations to come. Any rational person will realise this is and was the case - anyone who doesn't acknowledge this is just a bitter H1b5 loser IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory House M.D. Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Was it not Gasman who paid it? Another Kickbacker paid the Red Cross bill as well IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour M Hersh Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 On the subject of clubs and charities I was talking to a girl today who is heavily involved in one of the biggest corporates who fund raise for charities. She deals with football clubs as part of her remit and was full of praise for Heart of Midlothian FC and aberdeen fc when it comes to involvement and cooperation. I asked who was least helpful and guess what? It's that shower of shite from fester rodent. Even getting something as simple as a signed football for an event is like getting blood out of a stone. So there you go ya hobo vermin if you're looking in. GIRFUY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was simply to shut up a slaiver of a Hibby on my facebook who likes to have a pop at the Hearts at every opportunity. The fact that he's not very knowledgable about what goes on with us never seems to hinder him in his attempts to try and stick the boot in. Anyway, it's been dealt with ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Bear in mind that these hibs fans are the same arseholes who regularly disrespect the remembrance service at Haymarket by harping on about stuff along the lines of 'Hearts won the war lolz'.

Guest C00l K1d Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 How much was the bill? Only if its public knowledge likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownkg Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The bill is in the list of creditors so it is public knowledge and it was settled before the annual pilgrimage to Contalmaison lst June. It was not paid by Gasman but it was paid and that is the important point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasman Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 That was the one I was thinking of. Didn't want to say he actually paid it in case I was wrong but thought that was the case. Seem to recall it was being debated over whether it was or not and he gave a pretty straight answer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The money due to the Lady Haig Poppy Factory was paid in full by McCrae's Battalion Trust. I simply made a donation to the Trust to cover that, so they were not out of pocket either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templeton Peck Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Funny how none of them question how much their own Ian Murray paid to charity from his testimonial fund. Ian was quite happy to tell everyone who would listen at the start of his appeals payments would be made, but then went strangely quiet when he saw the crowd.
