One Day In Time 06:59 PM Today

I've had a day at work with a whole lot of them slagging me off about this.

You know what, I couldn't give a monkeys what that lot say. This is just another first in the Scottish game for HFC 

First domestic game under floodlights, first British team to play in Europe. Now we're the first Scottish team with a short sponsor. Shows creativity in my mind and another source of income isn't to be sniffed at. In future years we'll be able to attract higher profile partners, paying significant wedges to advertise their services and products to 20000 people every fortnight, and a TV audience too

I can handle the snidey and ill informed comments from others but to read such negativity from our own, is hard to take

Where is all this negativity coming from? We're two games in to the season with all to play for.

Have we all forgotten Persevere or was that just a timely soundbite?

 

 

Brilliant. Just brilliant

 

Thats some list of 'firsts'

Short sponsor ? Presume it's on the arse. Reminds me of Frank Bruno with the sponsor on the sole of his boots. Well not really.

Were West Auckland not the first British team to play in europe when the invite went to them instead of Woolich (sp) Arsenal?

 Sshhh. Hibs myths are not to be questioned.

[gjcc]

Direct from Hibs Historical Trust. 

 

“Contrary to popular belief, Hibs were not the first Scottish side to install lights, but the fifth. The game against Stenhousemuir had alerted other enterprising clubs to the advantages of playing under light and by the end of 1953 Rangers, Kilmarnock and Falkirk had installed their own systems, all mounted along roofs of their stands, and later East Fife whose lights had been situated on low columns placed at each corner of the ground.”

Yes, they basically got in by invite, but only after the previous 4 Scottish invitees said naw!  Similarly, Chelsea, who were English champions were invited, but discouraged from taking part by the FA.

 

This wasn't an official tournament, basically something set up by Real Madrid which wasn't sanctioned by the footballing authorities.  It eventually developed into the European Cup and came under the auspices of UEFA.

 

They weren't even the first British club to play in Europe.  Bishop Auckland played in and won the Sir Thomas Lipton trophy, in Turin in 1909.  Some say that this tournament was a precursor to the world cup which eventually took place in 1930.  On the back of this, some people extrapolate wildly to claim that Bishop Auckland were the first world champions.

 

Amazingly, I recently discovered that Bishop Auckland is twinned with Lochend.  They have regular exchange trips where they get together to indulge in massive circle jerks while bragging about their made up achievements.

They seem to be very confused about their ponzi scheme, but to be fair I have included the reply from the head honcho of the scheme. It would be interesting to get @Footballfirst's thoughts on the reply, but I guess it's a case of wait and see.

Maybe I'm alone in my thinking but before I donate anymore money I need to see a clear gate money is used towards the team, i.e. bringing in and paying players 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. 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, Originally 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.

 

Golden Bear.

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.

 

Official HSL.

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.
