This suggests to me that it will be optional when buying the kit, like an add on. £50 for the top and £5 for the sticker. Seems a strange way of doing it. Why not make it compulsory like normal sponsors are and just raise the price by £5. If HSL is anything to go by then they will have enough for a new pot plant and an ice cooler up at the Royal.

martoon Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 14 minutes ago, Mr Rabbit said: Agreed. Good message, good marketing and a good idea. We received praise from our sponsoring of Save the Children and they deserve the same. Not from the Hibs scum. They've slung all sorts of mud at Hearts over it. Indeed, I vividly recall the EEN having to remove the comments section from the article they published about the deal. The disgusting, filth mongering, comments from that vile support was off the charts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hearts did the same I would happily give the extra fiver as a donation but ask them not to apply the transfer as I prefer tops without sponsors on them.

Not only is the NHS more than just Nurses (there are 13 other categories of profession), every single one of us have had involvement with them at some time. There are plenty of people out there who are thankful for them, be it those who have suffered an accident, had life-saving surgery, given birth, had their worries addressed, or many many other things that go on all day, every day. These workers are people that go into a high-risk work enviroment every day, knowing they are the most likely out of everyone to catch COVID-19, but unlike you or I, they can't just patch work otherwise people will die. It never stops and there are plenty of people who wouldn't be here if it weren't for the NHS so how ****ing dare you say not one person gives a shit about them. What an absolutely ****ing disgusting attitude you have, but it's alright because you've tried to pump a few nurses in your days. No one is asking you to hang out a window and bang pots and pans to show your support. Just stop being a torn-faced disaster about absolutely every single thing that is posted on here, and doing your absolute best to make it all about you. To address your other point, yes there are plenty of other essential workers that should also be appreciated, but face it - without the NHS, the whole country would be in the shit. Possibly his previous posts ruin what is actually a reasonable argument . If it had been argued reasonably . Yes the nurses and all similar staff deserve our gratitude for what they do at any time , certainly more so at this time . But that gratitude should be expressed by giving them decent wages not pot banging . The NHS is not a 'cause' or a charity . It should be properly financed at all times.

That's actually a great idea, and should raise a decent amount of cash I'd like to see us follow suit. We could even have it as a back-transfer under the numbers. In fairness, when we adorn our shirts with the name of a charitable or caring entity, we back that with cash going directly to the organisation itself. Dempster is a cheap, copycat opportunist, Budge made a commercial deal which financially benefitted an actual charity with a large donataion whilst still ensuring sponsorship money flowed into our coffers. This is basically Hibs virtue signalling to look good whilst fleecing their fans for the actual cash (£5 x X amount of shirts is not a lot of money). Gormless Ron proving exactly what we said - he won't put a real penny into them but will obfuscate his dealings to look good with a PR puff effort that their fans are getting the invoice for. Supposedly the money, whatever they actually raise (and their track record is abysmal) goes to some charitable wing of the NHS, so I suppose my complaint about the NHS not being a charity is side-stepped. I still believe charitable donations for the NHS send the govt a bad message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
