Dear all, I was going to suggest this at the time of Shaun's passing but decided it was maybe unfair to ask people when emotions were running high. It was brought back to mind with Hugh's excellent efforts, and I have waited until he's underway so as not to distract from that.
Anyhow, I feel safe in saying that it is not diminishing the loss of other posters over the years (RIP Frenchman, Burbank Lilywhite, Soul Bam Rab, Hibee Jinty and anyone else I have forgotten) to say that Shaun's loss has been particularly deeply felt on this forum and the part of many of it's contributors.
With an 'in memoriam' re-titling of one of our boards already done I wondered if there would be support for my suggestion that we make a lasting tribute to Shaun in another way.
My proposal is that we sponsor a kicks for kids season ticket so some youngster can see the Hibbies in Shaun's honour. I feel sure this cause would be close to his heart and it allows us maintain something at various levels (number of STs determined by what we collect) as time goes by.
The admins have kindly given their support to my rallying call; so I'm now putting it to the board. I realise people have a lot of demands to juggle but if there are enough 'ayes' we can hopefully arrange something.
Over to you.
PS please feel free to suggest alternative plans as well.
