mahgrassyshoes Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hardly, mate ! Evening News today : "HEARTS fans are making a bizarre bid to convince Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace to attend the final. The celebrity greengrocer has become a cult hero on a prominent Jambos fans? forum, mainly due to pictures of Wallace?s gurning face becoming commonplace in posts on the website. That spawned rumours that the 47-year-old was a closet Hearts fan, despite being a life-long Millwall supporter. Wallace has been bombarded with messages on Twitter, encouraging him to attend the showpiece. One fan tweeted: ?What?s better than cup final day? Cup final day with Gregg Wallace.? Despite being evidently confused by his hero status, Wallace appears to be considering the trip. He tweeted yesterday: ?Looking into it, I have contacted the club.? A Hearts club source joked: ?With the crowd expected, I hope he has enough loyalty points.?" I was talking about what Gregg Wallace posted on twitter. The exact tweet was posted after my comment. His PA has tried to call Hearts and Hearts haven't replied according to Wallace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Maybe a long shot, but would someone with enough loyalty points who can't make the game be willing to get him a ticket? Gets him in with the fans that way and avoids all the problems with trying to get in touch with the club etc. Could you imagine turning round and seeing :greggy: sitting down next to you? Would make my year, if not, decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviskan Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Just sent this to Claire: Good afternoon Claire, I hope you are well? I?m not sure if this would fall under your remit within Hearts...but as you?re the club PR Manager, I thought it would be appropriate to contact you in the first instance. I?m sure you are probably aware of this already, as it?s a story that has now achieved national news coverage in Scotland...but Hearts fans (primarily supporters that use Jambos Kickback), have contacted Masterchef host Gregg Wallace to invite him to the Cup Final on May 19th. Please see the links below: http://sport.stv.tv/...ne-hearts-fans/ http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/family-celebrate-alex-s-key-role-in-securing-1896-cup-victory-1-2242628 Essentially, the supporters on Jambos Kickback have adopted Gregg because of his iconic smile...which we use to portray as an image of smugness and self satisfaction, normally after another routine victory against our neighbours across the city. To our surprise, Gregg has graciously accepted the invite to attend the Cup Final, to the point now where his PA Heidi Wallace has contacted the club to discuss possible arrangements. As Club PR Manager, would this be of interest to yourself to present as a request internally at Hearts...or to arrange for the applicable colleague to get back in touch with Heidi? I?m sure this would also present a wonderful opportunity for a feel good article for the Hearts Website, particularly with the build up to the Cup Final already underway. If you could please let me know your thoughts, it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His PA has tried to call Hearts and Hearts haven't replied according to Wallace. I know, I know - but there is a big difference between "won't return" and "hasn't (yet, by implication) returned" S'all I'm saying - you may not have meant to imply anything.

She had been in a meeting, but was blown away upon her return to see all the tweets she has so far! She has also been emailed directly by Heidi Wallace, and is going to drop her an email back now. She did confirm that she is most definitely the correct person for this, and agreed it would make a great story for the club website. This one is now gathering pace BIGTIME!

Barasa Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Incidentally, I had a dream last night that Greggy was on the team bus as the cup was paraded down Gorgie Road, after a glorius, champagne victory. Everyone was in a proper party mood, and Greg was really getting in the swing of things - he was downing litres of Jagerbombs from the Scottish Cup with that smug grin of his, met with cries of delight from the watching Hearts support. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens now, the way this story is going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
