Serious question. If, as I'm sure you do, claim to be a Hearts fan, why has it taken almost 9 years for you to support your club just because they sacked a manager (who has since gone on to do feck all, but thats for a different thread). I'm sure the "trauma" you felt back then was put aside for the cup finals of 2006 and 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an answer but please don't class me or anyone else in the Roseburn as glory hunters. With a few exceptions we get the same, if not more allocation of tickets for away games in this division as we have done for years in the premiership. It's just that, because the team are doing well, more fans (or gloryhunters) want to go to games. Those of us who have been following regularly in recent years quite rightly get first refusal on the tickets available. If that means the "gap" in Lp's is growing then so be it.

2205ian Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 There needs to be a happy balance. I am not one for singing & dancing, but do like to encourage the team. There were a few stony silences on Saturday, like other times at Tynecastle. I wonder if that has effect on players as the more the fans got anxious, the more Falkirk stepped up to the plate. All fans are welcome, let's not get into idle chat about glory hunters. Unfortunately there has not been enough glory for me in 50+ years, but it will not stop me following "The Famous" Back to the dot count, too many for me to count, i'll leave that in the capable hands of our experts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying mate. Of course It's always best to have a good atmosphere but the thing about atmospheres is it's much better when it is spontaneous. The occasion or the play or the score drives up adrenalin levels and atmosphere 'happens'. If people try to manufacture it by singing songs they made up in their bedroom - or by bringing a sodding drum - it is doomed to failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Hearts Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 There are all sorts of reasons for people being in the Roseburn - certainly not all to do with 'glory hunting'. I was there on Saturday (K)... I have an 800 mile round trip to Tynecastle, so haven't invested in a season ticket. Normally I get a ticket in the Wheatfield, but on this occasion didn't know until quite short notice whether I could make the trip, by which time the only seats left were in the Roseburn. To be honest, I was also quite keen to give it a go, having not sat there for a while. I've followed Hearts from Montrose to Mostar for nearly 45 years and went home and away every week through the darkest days. I like a bit of singing, but I'll admit I found myself isolated in that respect on Saturday. But then there were a couple of guys behind me who were speaking Dutch throughout the match...

The Shed Floodlight Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Roseburn fans are generally those that didn't buy season tickets due to work commitments or lack of cash. Fair play to all of them. This is where i am at. I try and get along to all of them plus have been to hospitality twice already this season so the club is getting a fair wedge of my cash. Also a lot of the people i have seen around about me are their all the time. so more regulars that gloryhunters. Although i do see where The Treasurer is coming from as every club does have gloryhunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyk Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Calling folks who are coming back to watch Hearts 'glory hunters' is well OTT. There is no glory in just watching second tier football, no matter how well the team is doing. Folk should be happy that people ARE coming back to Tynecastle and supporting the team. Dismissing them an glory hunters is insulting and more likely to put people off. Supporters who are new, or not regulars, are less likely to join in with every ditty that is started and even less likely to do so if someone give them grief for not being there every week. A massive pat on the back to those who are there every week and support the team away as well, but lay off those who cannot so this for a variety of reasons.

A home support should be able to create a atmosphere be at home or be away but when you have a crowd of 16,000 and the place is like a morgue at times and you go away from home with not even a quarter of that and its a better atmosphere theres something not quite right ? can i also say this has been brought up on other forums and by other teams supporters in fact one of the teams we played just lately was even singing about it or slagging the home fans about it cant mind exactly who it was? ok it not a mass issue winning games is but im sorry to say i dont agree with your asumption as i have seen many games on tv in scotland and england and many other countries and i have been to games else were and the home fans are singing a plenty to create a atmosphere .
