Kiwidoug Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 When you add the ICT money, we're talking $300,000 here. In just two months. Two months during which our performances were often dreadful. Two months during which a global pandemic was still in full swing. $300,000. Our critics will loathe us more than ever. Jealousy. Terrible thing that. A green sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG ECK Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Taken from the dark side🥶🥶🥶🥶 They really are a generous bunch who have over the years now managed to contribute a sum in total which still falls five figures short than a single monthly contribution from the members of FOH. We may not always spend the money as wisely as we’d wish but we really should be very proud of one another and forever look down our noses at the Leith tramps 😷 Thread: Hibs.net Donation Pretty Boy 10:15 AM Today The admin team at hibs.net are very pleased to announce that we have made a donation of £10187.50 to the club this weekend. Part of the money will be used to finance new performance and wellbeing software which will be used throughout the club including by the 1st team. This allows the sports science and coaching team to monitor players sleep quantity and quality, stress markers, recovery status and so on. This brings the sites total contribution to the club to almost £120 000 over the years. As always everyone on the admin team would like to thank the users of the site for their continued support.

The Treasurer Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 There have been times where some of our fans have been criticised for a "sense of entitlement" when complaining about the state of the football we are served up and lack of success on the pitch.

Footballfirst Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 The FOH website has been updated with the figures for the end of March. The total pledged is now £11,691,949, up a decent £139,767 since last month, but 2.8% down on the combined January/February figure. The latest figures should give the base point and indication of how much FOH and the Club will eventually lose out through cancellation or reduction in pledges when April's figures are announced.

schillaci Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 When OF fans say they deserve better, as they do from time to time, the reply is why would they "deserve" better. Hearts fans do deserve better than this, based upon FOH donations alone. The fans are invested in the club in more than standard sentiment and history. Hands dug deep into pockets deserves more.

The annual accounts do provide a yearly update, However, I think it would be counter productive, right now, for FOH to avoid openness and transparency as it would reinforce the view that the fans don't matter and don't need to know.

CJGJ Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Foundation director reveals scale of Hearts fans cash contribution cuts and makes Robbie Neilson admission | Edinburgh News (scotsman.com) Founding director of the Foundation, Gary Halliday has revealed 200 members have stopped their cash input altogether and a similar number have reduced their backing in the week of a Scottish Cup elimination to Brora Rangers and a home league defeat to Queen of the South. He insists the Tynecastle hierarchy are well aware of fan feeling on recent performances and the Foundation’s figures have been passed on. “When we went into administration we had 8200 pledgers, or just over that, and a couple of weeks ago we were slightly above that. by Taboola Sponsored Links [Gallery] Young Pole Vault Star’s Career Almost Ends Over an Innocent PhotographTips and Tricks Take a Look at These Bra and Panty SetsShop Bras Online | Search Ads Hearts lost to Brora Rangers away and followed the defeat with a home loss to Queen of the South (Photo by Ross Parker / SNS Group) “We’re now down to around 8000 so there have been a couple of hundred cancellations and we’ve had a couple of hundred reduce their pledges - they’ve lowered their amounts - and we’ve had about 300 emails in to tell us exactly how the fans and members are thinking.” Despite being on course for the Championship title and 13 points clear at the summit, many of the messages are calling for a change in manager following the ignominious defeat in the Highlands and sub-par defeat to their Championship rivals under Robbie Neilson. Last week the Foundation of Hearts chairman Stuart Wallace questioned whether withholding pledges was a wise protest move but a number of fans have done so and made their feelings known.

It’s always harder to get pledgers and members back on than new ones. “The numbers are passed to the club - we don’t dilute any message - that’s passed loud and clear to the club whenever anything like this happens. “The members’ views are put direct to the club so if a discussion is going on, and I’m sure there is, that will shape how some of the board will think.
