Donnie Azoff Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 not like kickback to derail a good news story in a manner the Italian legal system would look upon with envy Nobody is trying to take away from the fact that donating something that hearts needed is a great thing. Don't think there is any need to be so touchy about people discussing where the money they have donated goes? was the new mower top of hearts list of things they need or how was it arrived at that that should be the thing to buy?

The admin team were having coffee together at Dobbie's one day and on the spur of the moment bought one of these. I'm cutting Robbie's front lawn with it next weekend so he's well pleased.

You done that when I asked who made the kickback motm/Scott Wilson making it up thing too. Folk just want a wee bit info, I wouldn't have thought it's too much to ask.

2NaFish Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 not like kickback to derail a good news story in a manner the Italian legal system would look upon with envy Why not make a grown up rebuttal rather than simply sneering at people? If negativity - which is your word for an alternative opinion - was so clearly wrong it shouldn't be difficult to argue against it. But no, just further continuation of the Pollyanna nature of this board. Happy clappers only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomb Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Was it not a donation to Hearts community (formally Big Hearts) and the mower is used for the community pitch. The groundsman has his own for the main pitch? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I remember Chalky telling me what a nightmare they had with the old mower (and the community pitch especially), when they were down to skeleton staff and there was nobody available to help them. This machine makes such a difference. Not all green things are bad, apparently.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I think it's great that this has been given to the club - more so that it's primarily for the community pitch. The decision makers should have put all the info about it into the first post though, to give JKB more credit - it was what the club wanted, it's for the community pitch, the last mower was a nightmare and so on, meaning everyone would really understand the value of the contribution made by the members.

mutley Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 After paying for the upkeep of the board the rest of the money should be for the owners to spend as they want. They give profits to the club and charity when they don't have to. There is nothing to complain about here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Registered users pay ...well nothing as I understand. like I said earlier obstifucation and contramaciousness r us It doesn't matter how much you pay. It's still our money we are giving so there needs to be some sort of transparency. Which there has been, apart from how much was donated to Hearts for them to pay for the lawnmower.

Mr. T Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It was money that was donated to Hearts. And that's what Hearts decided to spend it on. Which I'm glad they did, I like the fact it went on something specific, especially a physical item. Gives us something we can say "Yeah, we were a part of that" rather than it just going into general Hearts running costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyPunter Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi guys Just a quick and sincere thank you to everyone at JKB for their continued support and for providing the resource to purchase the new mower. We've christened it the ''Gorgie Maseratti' and it also now has the JKB branding on the front. It's already doing a great job on the community pitch and I'm certain, when the grass starts growing again, that a huge number of kids that attend our community courses will relish playing on a great surface. The first team use the area for warm ups as well so it's helping support football from grassroots all the way through to champions at Tynecastle. The kids that take part in the Jambos Kickback Halftime Heroes also make good use of the pitch prematch Thanks for making such a positive difference :-) @ch4lkster #HHGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Registered users pay ...well nothing as I understand. like I said earlier obstifucation and contramaciousness r us It doesn't matter because it's not that much money? It's other people's money, but you're incapable of answering perfectly valid questions in a polite manner because it's not very much money. You're happy to take the plaudits and glad hand folk at hearts and stroke your own ego, but when people who put their money in ask simple questions you have a go at them. That's pathetic. You'd rather label people and put them down than actually deal with them like a human being. If you're the sort of person who's had dealings running this site then i'm not surprised in the slightest.

Cardiac Rucksack Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Perhaps the club as a financially sound business already in receipt of hundreds of thousands of supporters money should be paying for these sorts of things and kickback should start helping more "in need" charities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
