About US

Hibernian Supporters (HSL) is the club’s largest supporter shareholder group. We hold shares in the club on behalf of our members, who contribute monthly to support our activities, and we have invested more than £1.5 million in the club since 2015.

Following the Black Knight investment, we now own around 7% of the club, from a previous high of around a 20% equity stake.

While our ultimate goal is still to achieve a meaningful ownership stake in the club (25.1%), we are committed to being in a position to support ongoing investment in the club through donations from our members.

As responsible shareholders we are committed to supporting the club in any way we can, with members at the heart of all decision making.

As a Principal Partner of the club for the 150th anniversary season, we are excited to re-engage with our members and the wider fanbase for the betterment of Hibernian FC in a hugely significant period in the club’s history.

WHO ARE WE?

Our members are the owners of Hibernian Supporters, which is a Company Limited by Guarantee.

The objectives of Hibernian Supporters are:

To hold shares in Hibernian Football Club on behalf of our members.

OUR BELIEFS

Hibernian Supporters believes that any level of fan ownership should revolve around these three key principles:

Democracy

Our ‘one member, one vote’ system ensures all voices are equal. In this structure money does not buy influence.

Transparency

All our members are just ordinary fans. We believe that lack of clarity in ownership is inconsistent with the very principles of community ownership.

Not for Profit

As we do not have shareholders we have no desire to make profit and no need to pay dividends. Funds raised are intended for the betterment of Hibernian Supporters and the club.

We enjoy the full support of the club’s principal shareholders and board. Hibernian Supporters is independently owned by our members, and all directors are appointed by our members.
