Guest Freewheelin' Jambo Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 There has been a thread on here over the last few days about those renewing season tickets. This is a thread for those dedicated life-long Hearts supporters who are still withholding handing over cash to Vladimir Romanov. Whether you are totally disgusted with the shameful and disrespectful way the Club and our supporters have been treated by this man and feel you cannot pay out hard earned money any longer for a lie, whether you are awaiting a REAL response to the infamous January 1st statement before deciding or whether you want to wait and see whether a REAL manager is allowed to settle into the job without interference from Vladimir Romanov... DO NOT WAVER. STAND FIRM. Have the courage of your convictions to believe that YOU can make a difference by signalling to Romanov that you are no longer prepared to tolerate his behaviour. Don't be put off by stories of "steady" streams of people renewing at the ticket office. WE ARE HAVING AN EFFECT. DO NOT BLINK FIRST. STAY STEADFAST. The future of Heart of Midlothian may depend on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I didn't suggest you did but as I posted on another thread, I could choose not to renew but I go to games on my own and have built up a friendship with those who sit around me. If I don't renew then I have the lottery of sitting with people who I don't especially care for should I choose to renew in the future. PS Dylan's latest is superb!

cosanostra Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I can uderstand the criticsims of non-renewers. However, the only power we have as cutomers is to withold our financial support until a manager is appointed. It's not a big ask requesting to have what practically every other football club in the world takes for granted. The day someone is appointed, i bet the ticket office will be swamped with renewals.

Simmo Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 That's fine if you don't renew. Trouble is what happens when you get the itch to attend a game? Serious question. and if you have to pay a fair bit extra after the deadline and can afford to then so be it, but I guarantee that you'll all be back in due course. Coming 7th isn't the end of the world and it has given us the chance to see a bit of the future HMFC and as far as I'm concerned that is indeed a bright one, especially when Blatter gets his way and brings in his overseas player reductions.

vladsmad Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sorry, too late with your request. Have already renewed, I'm a Hearts supporter so why wouldn't I renew? I have followed them through much worse than it currently is and I didn't do anything to harm the Club then either. Self-harm does no-one any good in my opinion.

Ben Dover Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I was tempted to make some kind of stand but .............?25 is still ?25 I have to say that I've got one foot in the hope against hope camp that the Jan 1st declaration will be acted upon. The 'e-mail-shot' that we have received must show that the club is expecting a drop-off, cos I don't recall getting a reminder in previous years ...........and it's not even cut-off point for the frozen prices yet ! If the owner is wanting typical sales figures in an effort to convince himself that there IS NO PROBLEM then we are truly fecked .........and I don't think withholding ST cash will 'move him' if that's the case, although it will mean there are a few ?500s all ready and waiting for the SOH2 campaign However I don't believe that CO would knowingly be party to such a gross and callous deception so that flickering flame warms me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnkey1874 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Not renewing is the only way of sending a message; Romanov may not listen but he will at least know that we can't be taken for granted anymore. And his nice guaranteed income stream form the fans will dry up. I'm not renewing until we get a manager who is in charge. I'd rather pick the games I want to go to and if we get the same pish next season, at least I did my best to send a message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambos are go! Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 If like FJ you are more concerned with being anti VR than pro Hearts then dont renew. If you like FJ want to reduce your committment to 'pick and choose' level then dont renew. If you are prepared to give up a perhaps cherished seat because you believe VR puts the very future of our club at risk then dont renew. If you find you use Hearts as a target for all your fustrations dont renew. If you would rather jeer or get attention on JKB than cheer at Tynecastle dont renew. If however you love the Hearts then renew and enjoy. Wish most leaving well and welcome those that take their place. Some wont be missed IMO.

ToadKiller Dog Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Pick and choose in the end will boil down to picking the glamour games vrs the Hobos and the uglies and looking for excuses not to be there in the just as crucial games on a cold damp winter vrs the likes of St midden and hamilton when the squad needs our backing. I have renewed and am happy to do so,i dont want to damage the club in some war with Romanov in the end we all will loose.I am not yet convinced that the club is yet near the basket case that some on here are making out. I enjoy my Saturdays ,i want a new manager but you dont always get what you want. I dont have a problem with those waiting to renew late ,i can see what they are trying to do ,but those calling for not renewing at all are wrong .

A "cherished" seat is more important then in the scheme of things is it it? You can get a nice seat at home, or in the pub or anywhere else for that matter. If a season ticket means more about comfort and convenience than the future of the Club, then by all means go for it. The problem for you is that I never advocate staying away from Hearts. YOU cannot disassociate being a Hearts supporter is still a supporter even if you are not a "Season-ticket" holder. I think you and all people who criticise this stance should put more effort into trying to convince waverers to still buy one instead of the old chestnuts about "better of without you" and all that p*sh. Try thinking about that. You may as well buy a bus pass season-ticket also. That is convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixie Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 While it's not the ideal scenario, I've decided that watching Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle with a degree of Vlad involvement is infinitely more palatable than watching Heart of Midlothian at Murrayfield, or worse, no Heart of Midlothian at all. Depriving the club of working capital when they have debts to the tune of ?36m seems utter madness to me. I'm renewing in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
