Welcome to the latest edition of our regular bulletin, designed to keep you updated on our weekly meetings and other activities as a supporters’ association.
Latest SPFL Sanctions:
The club board have confirmed that following a period of reflection that they will not be appealing the latest sanctions imposed by the SPFL on the club for further rule breaches. We will share shortly our next steps in our communication with the club around this.
Memberships:
We are delighted that more supporters have become members of the association this week and we are really grateful for this.
We are delighted to say that you can now join directly on the website. This hopefully makes the process much simpler and will take less time than the manual form we previously used.
Nominations for Committee Elections and Current Association Status:
We are still looking for nominations for the supporters association committee elections. Nominations should be sent to acciessa@gmail.com and these will be accepted up to 21st November.
As noted in our previous communication, the association is now fully up and running with a constitution, a membership base, mailing list, website, documented 12 month plan, and bank account so would be a great time to join if you feel you or another supporter can make a difference.
Supporters Survey:
We are in the process of putting together a survey for supporters. This will be shared not just with members but our wider mailing list as we want the opinions and feedback of as many supporters as possible whether they have joined the association or not.
We are keen for support with the construction of this survey to ensure it covers the most important areas to our fanbase. If there are questions or topics you would like to see in the survey can you please email these to acciessa@gmail.com. These will then be considered when putting together the final survey. Please get in touch asap by email or alternatively feel free to pass suggestions to any of the committee members at a game.

Ben Paterson – Head of Social Media at HAFC:
We were appalled to read a message from Ben on social media advising of completely unacceptable communication that he has received since joining the club.
This type of behaviour is disgusting and simply not acceptable. We wish to put on record our support for Ben and thank him for the work he has done in his role.
