Because fans haven’t been in the stadium there’s not really been that opportunity to celebrate his life and contribution to the club collectively. Hopefully first game of the season that’s something we’ll be able to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tian447 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Great cause. Would much rather we (and in fact everyone in football) promoted these kind of things, rather than yet another online Bookies or oil-rich airline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Gio Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I think the one thing I genuinely ever feared having. Well done for backing this one. 500k additional in the package for Campbell, 500k for a central defender and 500k for a forward, a great summer 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Great news, another great cause and I'm delighted that our club is continuing down this route with their shirt sponsorships. Love this club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davemclaren Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 This is the sort of thing that makes us soft. Why can’t we get a drinks or betting company reflecting the hard culture that we used to have? It will be hair braiding and unicorn breeding on the plaza next… 😎 Good news though that benefactors are effectively sponsoring us for nothing in return for publicity for a good cause. 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 It gives me a lot of pride to have a worthy cause on the front of our shirts like this. Having that pay day loans company name on the shirts was a low point in our proud history. Well done the club again for making this happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheBigO Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Brilliant stuff. We do so so many things right off the park! Idiots on here seem to use it as a stick to beat the club with, but fact is we're in an amazing position to bring the whole thing together. Just need the right management team in place of the bloody football team!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The key word in your post is "charity" and I don't think it should be conflated or cheapened by a football team's jersey. MND Scotland (or indeed in any country) is a fantastic cause for truly awful disease. This is a football club. Football is our game - not charity. Budge is so desperate to take us down this route it is pathetic. I want a big stinking multi million pound dirty sponsor. I don't care about being virtuous. There is plenty of place for that outside football. This is just classic self fulfillment from Budge in her crusade to make her and the club look 'nice'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So Make Some Noise.. Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 A lot of comments in this thread highlight just how much we'll find anything to either moan about or bad mouth the club and/or the owners. None of this will come at the expense of better sponsorship money and anyone who thinks that way likely has no business sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A_A wehatethehibs Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Happy to hear this. Good to change it up and get a fresh sponsor on the shirt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SectionDJambo Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I have a bit of a conflict with criticism of alcohol companies sponsoring Hearts. Strongbow were arguably the best shirt sponsor Hearts have had. They helped us finance the signing of some key players who won the cup. I feel that Betting Companies would cheapen the brand, as Wonga did. Gambling causes great harm to many individuals and families due to addiction and already huge exposure, as does alcohol, of course. It’s a sign of the poor governance of Scottish football that clubs and the SPFL cannot think of, or attract sponsors of a different kind or better quality. Doncaster has had little success due to his ineptitude. The Glen’s Vodka manager of the month award is about as cheap sounding as Scottish football deserves. I have no conflict with Hearts being sponsored by someone who wants to enhance awareness of a terrible condition that our last cup winning captain lost his life to at a young age. The connection to our club is obvious unless Marius has been consigned to the file of forgotten men already by some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
