Don Dan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 FAN REWARDS SCHEME ? FANS TRIBUTE STRIP Dear Member As you will know, the opportunity for members to have their names on a special fans tribute strip (which will be the official club third strip next season) through the Fan Rewards scheme is a very important acknowledgement from the Foundation of pledgers? support. When the scheme was launched, we stated that a cut-off date for this particular part of the scheme would be announced shortly, and we now have confirmation of when that will be. The date for members to have reached 180 points (ie ?120 pledged) and therefore be eligible to have their name on the strip is Saturday 28 February. While we would have liked more time for members to reach this level, this has just not been possible as the manufacturers? lead time means we have to confirm names by mid March to allow the manufacturers to produce the shirt for a pre-Christmas delivery. Should you wish to top up your account, visit http://www.foundationofhearts.org/own-the-history-shape-the-future/, while there?s information on how to increase your pledge at http://www.foundationofhearts.org/how-to-increase-your-pledge/ As ever, I thank you most sincerely for your support for the club through the Foundation, and I?m sure you will ? like me ? look forward to seeing the team take the field next season in this special strip which pays tribute to you and our fellow Foundation members. Yours in Hearts Ian Murray Chair, Foundation of Hearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think this is a great wee idea, not only for the novelty factor of having your name on the strip, but this is a great way of dangling a carrot in front of fans to sign up for the FoH. I bet there is a wee surge in pledges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indianajones Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I've been a pledger since day one and recently cancelled the debit to start up an increased payment. My account says I still only donate the previous amount. Must be about a month ago I increased pledge. Anyone had the same/know when that will change?

Paolo Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Is Adidas going to be the manufacturer? Not sure. It certainly suggests that it has been decided though, both the manufacturer, and design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there is a wee surge in pledges. absolutely. At the end of the day, this whole idea is great for both the fans and the club, its win win. Its gamification and a sales incentive. i think its brilliant. More money in to club the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tams bird Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thinking about it, I'm 44 and don't think I've ever bought a strip for myself. My parents bought mine when I was a kid (last one silver away top in the 80s) and I buy them for my son now. I'll buy this and get it framed (hope my name's not on an armpit!). This could be a big seller so hopefully ample stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 They must be ordering enough for every pledger for it to take until Christmas. I'd imagine it's a case of the size of the words changing depending on the amount of names included, plus the hope that this initiative will lead to more people signing up.

Raymond Reddington Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Think this is really cool. This got me thinking I would love it and think it would be a great gesture if the 16 men who went to war had there names on every hearts shirt. A way of never forgetting them.

Don Dan Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 ?120 gets your name on the strip. You would then have to spend ?50 on the strip??120 is money to help buy the club. As a reward for reaching that personal milestone your name will be printed on a strip. You can as I feel most people will buy the strip which will also filter more money into the club minus costs. Great idea and for me it's something I can leave to my Grandchildren when I'm gone.Your idea of including the 16 is a very good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 ?120 gets your name on the strip. You would then have to spend ?50 on the strip? The theory would be that getting on the strip was a reward for saving HMFC. Owning it, is a purchase of produce from the club you have saved, with the bonus of having something uniquely yours in to the bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 As usual I haven't been reading my FOH emails. Do we know how they are putting the names on the shirt e.g J.Bloggs or Joe Bloggs or Bloggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In small text I'd imagine, though it hasn't been confirmed. Anyone who has put in ?10 a month since the start is on 255 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasavallan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I am also a member of Manley-Warringa Sea Eagles. They brought a similar commemorative shirt a couple of seasons ago with all members names on it. To get every members name on the shirt the font had to be very small and you could not make out the names unless you had a magnifying glass. I think my name was in a gusset.

Jambos_1874 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just logged in to my FoH account for the first time and the page which shows your "Maroon Points" has a scale starting with a membership card, going all the way to "1874 Club" - can anyone tell me what that is? Regarding the strip, and forgive my stupidity on this, is it the case that if you have enough Maroon Points you'll automatically get your name on the strip, which you can then buy next season i.e. will one then be reserved for you? Edit: Just found the part of the website saying what the 1874 club is - you get to have lunch with Robbie Neilson himself and get a certificate presented by a legend (hopefully Rudi1)!

GlasgoJambo Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Nice idea but will have no sway in me purchasing the kit whatsoever.

Poseidon Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The 2 extra accounts I set up for my sons seem very much worth the hassle now rather than just firing it through under my name.

Time to up my pledge I think!! I think your name goes on automatically. We are only a couple of weeks from cut off to provide names to strip manufacturers. To organise an opt out would provide a challenge. Re the order, I doubt they will set aside a top for everyone as there is no guarantee everyone will buy one. I think however this is one where the club needs to get plans spot in with early design releases and pre ordering system. If the manufacturers can only guarantee say one bulk run, folks need to know early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But an O'Seacht type surname? Great stuff. We get ?120 additional revenue and it STILL comes nowhere near burying your rival's strip under a home stand & putting a curse on them which leads to at least 2 years in the Championship.
