peter_hmfc Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 This whole 7,000-fans-creating-a-HUGE-atmosphere idea seems to have backfired very well on AT. I was looking forward to a great, well up for it support from them, and I have no doubt their fans will make as much noise as they can, but with 2,000 fans spaced out around the whole of the Roseburn, then some in the Wheatfield, it's going to be very hard for them to create the loud, collectve atmosphere they could easily have managed if they'd only been given the logical, standard few sections of the Roseburn. 2,000 fans is a great amount for a Junior League team, but ruining any chance of creating a great atmosphere by asking for almost 4x what you need is a pretty big own goal.

Sidelight Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 That's evolution in action there. The guys find it easier to run round the hills chasing sheep and it makes it harder for the girls to run away from their dads :'> micro evolution.

I still think 2000 + is a fair crowd for a junior team to bring to Tynecastle. I'll be one of them and looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean lack of concessions ? -- it's ?15 for an adult and free for a kid under 12 with that adult and only ?5 for another child. Poor excuse -- however in saying that it is a tremendous support given the status of the club and well done to those who are coming -- enjoy the travel, enjoy the pubs pre match then I hope you go home after a hammering admiring the pace and power of our team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an excuse, as I say over 2000 must be a decent away support at Tynecastle under any conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the 7,000 was probably media given, but it must have been AT that asked for the extra sections. I don't see how the "lack of concessions" is a problem as the overall ?15 must be a big discount from regular adult prices. I don't think not being able to win it and being in the 4th round would acually be a hinderance as you have other teams like Aberdeen, Killie and Hibs :'> who know they'll never win it. Playing Hearts away in the SC 4th round is far rarer than a JC final, so surely that must hold some enticement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systemx Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I happened to be working in Auchinleck and Lugar last week and thought they were quite nice wee places .Far nicer than some of the shitholes in West Lothian /Lanarkshire .Also worked at Monktonhall with former residents of the Ayrshire villages.very nice people.Good on them for supporting their local team.

Not that long since Killie won the cup BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that long since Killie won the cup BTW. I don't really see what the first part is answering. ?15 may be 3x as much as they regularly play, but it's to see an SPL team (some internationals, cup winners etc) who play at a standard far more than 3x higher than that of AT. What I meant was that the AT fans are getting to see an SPL quality team (on form) for prices way below the usual SPL rate. Forgot about 1996/97, but I doubt they hold much hope of actually winning it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt any of their fans will be in the Wheatfield. Their official site always said they'd been given 3000-odd seats for the match. Doubt they were even given Sections F and G.

I think Talbot fans are coming to see and support their own team, they will enjoy watching Hearts but thats not their priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 http://terracechants...t+Football+Club "Talbot have a deaf and dumb supporter who used to join in the terrace sing songs and his favourite was "We'll support you ever more" when he sang along it sounded like "Eeka peeka pukka po" so in the 70's the Talbot support adopted his rendition. It's now the best known song in the Scottish non league scene and has now become the club anthem." :stare: I wish I hadn't bothered looking now.
