rossthejambo Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 If ticket sales are as bad by Monday then I might get concerned. Considering the tickets only really went on sale a few days ago, and it's not been very well advertised tbh, I'm not overly surprised it's so low. Although, I'd be stunned if it was anywhere near 10,000 that turn up. I plan on being there and will be purchasing my tickets when my wages hit my account, looking forward to being an uber fan on here again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 What on earth are you talking about? He likes to think he's a bit of a financial genius and that he is the only one who realises we are in a perilous situation... Check over his posts, every single one is a wrist-slasher. Best ignored until he actually says something of any interest really. He reminds me of a yappy wee dug, sitting their yapping away as the humans in the room talk...

Coco Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 There is no denying that there is a certain feeling of apathy, for want of a better word, surrounding the opening stages of this season - the Liverpool games excepted. The post-coital Hampden afterglow has largely dissipated and we're left with a fairly unattractive looking squad and a manager no-one seems too keen on. Against a backdrop of recession and rising ST prices (for most people, I reckon), it's not terribly surprising that attendances aren't stunning. No point pretending that this hasn't happened before or that this isn't the way things normally go at football clubs, because it is. No point seething about people who're not going to matches either. People go when they want to go. That has always been the way. After all, if we offend all the part-timers, who's going to come and fill our shiny new 20,000 seater stadium on the outskirts of town? The visitor attractions of a car park and a trestle table with some warm lager on it under the breeze block stand will do the trick. Will sell out no bother.

I'm not really seeing people trying to find reasons not to go, and the children free option is only really useful if you have them There will be a fair few who will probably wait til the day and decide then whether or not to go. This isn't a recent phenomenom you know, league cup ties hardly ever get near 10,000 crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is this that I find frustrating. I was talking to someone at work today who was moaning about the wages issue and saying it is a disgrace, understandably. Straight after he started moaning about not offering Sergio a good enough contract and not re-signing Black, Beattie and Rudi, saying we should have given them what they asked for as they deserve it, and then he moaned about selling Temps.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The squad is thin. It does have some talent, but does not in any shape or form harbour competition for places, which lends itself to complacency. We may as well go with 5 subs now, for its almost certain we are putting 2 guys on it to make up the numbers. I havent seen enough of the youngsters to form a final opinion but its fairly safe to say they wont be world beaters, and the Under 19s from last year had a very weak finish. Partly due to those who had been farmed out, but doesnt bode well for the next tier, given early season U20 form as it now is. More encouraging result last week, but there can be no guarantees of a constant production line. Aberdeen are harnessing young talent with experience wisely, yet to get results, will be interesting to see which club does get the balance right this season. Too early to tell, I'm more concerned about next season but the re-hire of Stevenson and if the rumours are true, the Prince returning, then I foster some more hope. Sorry I wont be attending this one, the 250 mile round trip is not viable with Killie 4 days later. Petrol costs a fortune, its not just the ticket price.

Debut 4 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Just looked at Hearts e-ticketing and decided to count how many tickets we have sold for next Tuesday nights game. 3,879. Does this really sum up where the league cup stands within our game now that even with the dearest tickets being ?12, we cant even get anywhere near half way to the attendance. Now I do know that obviously this game is still a week away and there will be a fair number of ticket sales on the day, but, I can't see that number increasing too much over this next week. But what about season ticket holders? They had until today to purchase their seats and I'm guessing with the amount of available seats on e-tickets that this has been updated to represent the current value. So, why are ST holders not even purchasing their seat to watch this game? One thing I guess you also have to take into consideration is the whole Roseburn Stand is closed, therefore, there is a dent in the amount of tickets on sale to home supporters but still, this is a pretty poor figure by all means. There`s still a week til the game mate. Not got my ticket yet, plenty time....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Nope, as it's general sale you'll need to print it off if you book it online. Managed to get my own seat Mr Loverman, about 2 or 3 minutes after posting last night. Sent off a quick email to the club last night indicating I had forgotten about the cut off time yesterday morning, managed to secure my own seat last night and asked them if it was at all possible that they could add it in to my Smartcard (my main worry was that before next Tuesday I'd end up flinging out the printed sheet by mistake, or lose it when out for a drink before the game). Email back from club when I arrived home from work tonight telling me to rip the e-ticket up, as they had cancelled it and added the game to my Smartcard instead. Huge thumbs up to the TO, once again they have been very, very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
