Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This is not a thread for those who want to tell people that the little bit of effort within their power is useless, like has happened on other threads on here... Best get that out of the way to begin with. This is about what you have done since realising that we are in a bit of a perilous state. This is NOT just confined to those who have thrown money at the club despite the risks either... Have you invited a mate to attend? Have you bought a relative's ticket for them? Have you bought shares? Have you shamed some lapsed fans in to attending? Put your efforts down on this thread and let's enjoy the good efforts of the people who allow this club to exist. Maybe we can also come up with other ideas to help. Please can the mods stop any cynical *******s from ruining the purpose of this thread? Appreciate it if you can.

Locky Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I've not missed a game this season but unfortunately I'll be knocking the next few away matches on the head due to employment situation. Regardless I'll make sure I'm still at every home game. I usually buy the burds ticket too and I'm even paying for my old man for the St Mirren game for his birthday. I'll hopefully buy shares if I've got the cash although unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'll start... I bought my season ticket as normal and bought the home top as normal. Since being made aware of the need to do more, I have bought the shorts to go with the home top and bought both the away top and shorts. i also bought the minimum share offer for ?110 and will buy a good few more when able to.

GuitarJambo Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Bought my season ticket, 2 strips for the kids one for me, pics with the cup, dvd of cup win (5-1 yaaassss!!!) program every game, bought shares. Now taking my oldest kid to every home game, shaming my band mates (all of the jambos) into getting back to games and generally harassing other lapsed supporters to get back to the game. Christmas coming up so I have told a lot of family to either expect hearts stuff (t shirts etc) as gifts or that (in the case of close family members) I will buy them a block of shares. Christmas is a big waste of cash at the best of times so if i can combine that waste of cash with helping hearts then its all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bapswent Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I often buy extra pies, and loads of times I haven't eaten them. Sometimes I just buy them, and line them up and leave them.

Malcolm Tucker Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Bought, and will continue to buy mates tickets. Hopefully encouraging more people to do so themselves and encouraging the friends I bring to buy their own tickets in the future. Aye, it's a drop in the ocean. But Rome wisnae built in a day n all that eh. More people need to be proactive, rather than slagging people for doing what little they can to help the club in their own way.

And I'll be buying shares when I can muster up ?110. exactly, you spending an extra ?20 on a ticket is a drop in the ocean for hearts (i understand that ?20 might not be a drop in the ocean for some fans due to tight financial circumstances), but if 500 to 1000 people do that it would bring in an extra ?10k to ?20k which would cover a few peoples weekly wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remnants of Standards Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Having already purchased a season ticket at top whack and paid out again for my own seat for the liverpool game, I've also just bought two briefs for the new year game which comes to around ?565 in all. Add in buying cup final dvd, pies etc i thought i'd already done my bit; but now we are being asked to bail out years of overspending and pay for an allegedly lax set of accounting nous into the bargain. I'm uneasy with being emotionally blackmailed into parting with yet more cash especially at this time of year, with no cast-iron guarantee where the money will end up. However, suspicious as i am of the motives behind the share issue, i will support in other ways; Kyle Falconer's idea about Kickback shares should be developed for sure. People who are reluctant to part with the minimum ?110 can contibute in a smaller way. We've seen what we can do with a one-off fundraiser re the big flag, and i feel quite strongly KB should pursue this. Also for any games i can't make I'll take a tenner worth of half-time draw tickets. Only a small contribution of course but if most fans do one thing it could make all the difference.

Father Tiresias Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 What about a 'Bring a friend to the game ' day? There were just over 12,000 there on Saturday and Tynecastle holds just over 17,400 so by my reckoning there were about 5200 empty seats. If we could fill Tynecastle on a game like the St Mirren game in a few weeks time, at ?20 a seat, that's at least ?100,000 into Hearts coffers. Surely all the ST holders out there know someone who could be persuaded, coerced, bribed etc etc into supporting the team at this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Bought a season ticket and have bought tickets for friends three times so far this season and intend to do it as often as I can over coming months. Europa game, cup games, the usual home fixture extras. Bought the DVD, about to buy a strip for someone's birthday once they're back in stock (she's 6 and I'm brainwashing her, she'll be cool with that) and I'll buy the home strip for myself too. Currently assessing the pre-Xmas finances and will buy shares once that's done. Contemplating buying my hibby dad and bro those Bawbags boxers as a wee stocking filler.... It's not much but it's more than what I might have done last year so I hope it helps a wee bit. As mentioned above, even small things can make a difference if enough people decide to make an effort and do it. It's better than doing nothing and hoping the money just appears I suppose.

Trolling, you have said as much. If you know this, why bite? Best ignored. Anyway, the thread topic: I've bought a shirt and will most likely buy shares in the club when I'm back in the UK for a couple of weeks come January. I don't think there's a game at Tynecastle when I'm back but if there is, I'm there. Not a huge contribution but it's all I can really do at the moment, I had a season ticket the season before last and have generally gone to whatever games I could manage. Some will be able to contribute more than others and I applaud all of those who are getting along to the games. You might not care for the owner but refusing to help out the club because of this is really quite sad, do what you can for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you actually pay for the shares when you dont live in/near Edinburgh? All I can find is a pdf of a form (that's ok), but then to pay (either cash or credit card) I have to go INTO the office? Is there an option you've found online? There's something in the FAQs about online payments, but I can't find it anywhere.
