rossthejambo Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Have heard word of a few people staunchly against selling on their season tickets/turning up at all because of how many potential part timers (or people unable to find Tynie without a street map) are going to be in attendance for this one. Main problem being that they don't want to be surrounded by people asking who the players are or people rustling sweety papers rather than concentrating on the game at hand. Thoughts?

Radioactive Mince Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I think they should stop being snobbish pricks and perhaps make an effort to create an atmosphere on Saturday that Will drown out any newbie questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Team Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Just back from buying shares...and secured official club tie as worn by players at cup final for ?50 donation...last one apparently...hopefully I'll get an opportunity to spill beer down it at Aberdeen hospitality chrimbo swalley! There was a wee queue of folk behind me buying shares and tickets...the shop seemed to be doing a bit of trade too. Will hit the the youth game tomorrow and maybe the fundraiser if I get away from the office, but that's me done til I get paid again next week. Reckon I've put well over a grand Hearts way in 6 months...gives you some idea of the scale of the problem that we face - how many clubs in Scotland attract that level of financial support from an average fan, yet we are still Donald ducked.

Generic Username Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Measuring peoples feelings about the club by putting a figure on how much they pump in is ridiculous. See when you start frothing at the mouth at someone who's only attending a handful of games a season, you want to rethink that's really important - your own messed up stance that your money is more important or embracing those who've been away and encouraging more to come along on match days.

JamboJen Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Was in the shop about an hour ago and it was pretty busy. after I got my shares there was a queue a quarter of the way round the shop and plenty of other people just buying merchandise. One woman clearly didn't know much about football/hearts and was asking the guys in the shop some questions.She said something along the lines of her husband will be delighted when he realises all his christmas presents will have helped the club. she spent over ?200 in the shop and then joined the shares queue. wanted to go up to her and hug her!!

Harry Palmer Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 The superfans should be relishing the opportunity to disseminate their, no doubt, vast amount of knowledge of the game of football and Heart of Midlothian FC to a new audience. Free advertising for the club if you like and if they do the job well, then it might get a few folk returning/spending more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. Looking forward to having new faces in the empty seats around the place. If we do come through this then it will be quite interesting to see if the average attendances go up slightly in the seasons that follow or if they drop back off to the same level as before... Even a slight increase would be a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main problem being that they don't want to be surrounded by people asking who the players are or people rustling sweety papers rather than concentrating on the game at hand. Thoughts? In my experience of going to games the 'part-time' fans make more of an atmosphere. Majority of the time our hardcore away support is dull with folk looking for any excuse to slate a player. Every home game minus Liverpool this season the atmosphere has been mince therefore the 'part-time' fans are more welcome in my book than the uber fans you speak of.

The People's Chimp Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Astonishing stuff that this has now turned into an opportunity to slate those who go every week. You couldn't make it up! You're basically slating the life blood of the club, the guys that plough all the money in every year and calling them things like 'uber fans', instead taking a more sympathetic view of the part timers and no shows that are part responsible for our current difficulties.
