jambonian Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Might go, not doin anything, then again.. mibby no. We need a shot in the arm so tickets might start selling if (and it's a massive if!) we manage to get anything against Utd. Our recent record against them the last few years suggetst not but you never know, if they're off-form we might scrape something. There'll be tickets left unsold so no need to rush out and get one, probably prior to kick-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Can easily do that at the game by the wonders of mobile phone In all seriousness our support needs a kick up the arse. We were world class at Anfield. We had over 100,000 on the streets basking in the sun in May.

rossthejambo Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I do tend to agree, 4,000 tickets sold with 5 days to go til kick off is ridiculous. Loyalty points shouldn't really matter either. It's reasonably priced, midweek game under the lights, it's Hearts. What more encouragement do you need?

DA55AD Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 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. thats piss poor tbh poor would be about 10000 cant understand why it aint sold out be a bit diferent if it was the final i bet you would struggle to get a ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames_D Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The fact most fans have said (for weeks) all we need is a goal scorer, suggests the squad is a good 1 we are just missing 1 ingredient, so this worst team milarky is over reacting! lets start being a little more optimistic jambos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those students from downsouth or further afield they might be missing going to a live game from time to time. Not exactly going to deprive Die hards of their seat for Tuesday.

jambotothebone Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 If it wasn't for work commitments I'd be going through with my daughter. I have to be at a signal box in Girvan for half eleven, as I'm an hour & half to get home then another hour & half to Girvan I can't make it. For the price of the adult ticket & the fact kids go free I don't think there is any real excuse from these so called local "ubber fans". here's hoping sales do pick up after Friday (pay day for some) & as the post above says "some just aint got round to it yet".

portobellojambo1 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hearts should've made it 10 loyalty points for the Livingston game Has it really come to that stage though, that HMFC fans might only consider going to Tynecastle to support their team if they get a whack of loyalty points in return. You shouldn't need mega loyalty points to simply turn up and watch the team you support. Totally understandable people who are either unwell or working being unable to attend, but the only factor anyone else needs is that it is a game being played at Tynecastle, it involves HMFC, it is a cup tie and the tickets have been priced reasonably cheap (for those with a couple of kids it is even an opportunity for them to score brownie points with their partner by agreeing to look after the kids for a night, take them out for some fresh air and they can do so without having to pay to get them into the game). We are in a situation where people aren't enjoying what they are seeing on the park, and that I do understand, it can be a bit of a slog at times. They want new players in the team, but we have no money, and by not turning up for home matches that is only making the situation worse. If there is no income coming in there is erse all to spend come January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no income coming in there is erse all to spend come January. But the point is that people choose not to come to support their team, this is not new, how many did we get against Auchinleck 8000 tops less the away fans perhaps a couple of thousand. So around 6000 for the big cup. Om here it is often quoted that the games are overpriced, but ?12,?6 or free is obviously not the answer. We cannot even get ST holder to attend. So what is the solution? Loyalty Points are one, also I know there is a debate about cash turnstiles, but in all seriousness, why can't we have cash gate ( not going to TO, or printing off tickets)....but cash at turnstile and advertise as such and list the game on the website along with other fixtures instead of making things more difficult than they need to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Midweek match travelling distance, kids at home, game too far for myself. When I had no commitments didn't think twice but now with fuel also a consideration can't justify this competition. Regardless of what anyone says it has devalued sinc Skol Cup days when the comp was short and snappy. Rangers and Celtic got their way and now it is ridiculously drawn out.

Snake Plissken Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Shite attendances in the League Cup are nothing new. I was one of about 6,000 when we beat Kilmarnock c.2004 (Hartley scored twice) and was there when we played Elgin a couple years ago and I doubt there was much over 5,000 at that one. It shouldn't be like that but there seems to be a lot of fan apathy in the cups yet when we reach the latter stages, there's a scramble for tickets. Just think where we could be if we turned out in numbers like at the cup final or the Liverpool matches. Anything shy of 10,000 will be really poor.
