Inject a little positivity into proceedings. We want these people to keep coming back don't we? Not feeling like they are unwanted and certainly not like they are despised.

red Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I despise part timers but let's make it clear EVERYONE IS WELCOME. Folk like you are one of the reasons we may find this particular fight more difficult. at the end of the day we have around 9000 season ticket holders. that 9000 aint gonna save our club. that 9000 alone weren't the ones who made one heck of a noise twice last season at hampden and helped our players raise their game and give us all the best day of our lives!, The stick some folk give honest jambos who cant attend every game on here stinks tbh. and a statement like that in a time like this is just stupid.regardless off the all welcome at the end. not required. Whether u attend every game or twice a season we need you and you are ALWAYS welcome at tynecastle would have been more apt! in reality if we are to survive it will mostly be down to part time supporters because the full timers money is already spent! please can we lay off this part time crap coz we really really need them right now.

Townhill Jambo 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? How badword thick are these people? If the part timers don't go there is less chance of the club surviving. It's a time for everone to rally round and not be critical of others trying to help the club they support no matter how often they go to Tynecastle.

Generic Username Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Another well done to those who are buying tickets and getting themselves along to this game and the other upcoming home games. The club absolutely needs your support and I'm sure I speak for the more level headed amongst our support when I say we want you there as well. If you can, get yourself along to another game. If you can't make it, suggest a friend takes in a game. Do whatever it is you can do to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good result and performance would be perfectly timed in front of a full/near full crowd like this will have. http://www.londonhearts.com/scores/tea/stmirren.html There were a few massive attendances against Saint Mirren against just after they came up in the early years of the Vlad era. 17,195 saw Larry Kingston's equaliser secure a 1-1 draw in Feb 2007 That was the biggest crowd for Hearts vs Saint Mirren since a 1986 Scottish Cup Quarter Final drew over 20,000. What is striking is that pre-Taylor report attendances used to vary widely from big games to run of the mill fixtures like Saint Mirren. These days people seem to be more likely to either go to all the games or not go any. The much maligned Part Time Supporter has tended to either become "die hard" or to drift away altogether.

I was unable to get a season ticket that season as I was unemployed and skint but turned up to whatever I could as a "part time fan" but did not remember the smaller games being that packed. Maybe I was too busy rustling sweeties. It might not be as good as I originally thought then right enough... I still think 16k plus is a damned fine effort right now though.
