Stu Dapples Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I didn't see or hear the meeting earlier so all I know is the non-renewers, or anyone, have been asked to buy 3000 season tickets so we can survive for 3 months. If that happens then all 10000 season tickets will be honoured. If that's wrong, I apologise and no doubt you'll put me straight. But if I have got the jist of that right, who pays for the running costs of the club after that? The new owners? They better have a wad. And how can he say the seasons will be honoured? If these questions have already been clarified, or can be, then I have no doubt we'll survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will will have received the first instalment of the SPL TV money, Wonga sponsorship, walk up sales and hospitality, plus whatever the new owners deem that they need for working capital.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Normal in-season revenue streams will have started coming in again - tickets (home and away fans), match day sponsorship etc. Given our vastly reduced wage bill, it hopefully won't keep getting swallowed up as soon as it's in the door.

tartofmidlothian Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 We'll be earning money from ticket sales and TV money, hopefully having been bought over and relinquished our debt. Our running costs will be within our means as well. We're not messed this summer because we're spending too much money, it's because we have no money left and we're still servicing the last of last season's overspending. The short answer: we'll go on like any other football club, at long last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, for the Hibbees, its seems that not only are Hearts not going to die, they are going to come out of this mess, stronger and more unified than at any time in living memory. 2006 showed the potential!!!

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Give it a rest Stu... The spirits are high and the fans are mobilising. The doom and gloom of wretched Hibbies is just spit in the rain. HHGH 5-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Dapples Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Wow. I ask a sensible question and get abuse! Lay off calling me Hibs supporter, ffs. I'm maroon through and through and I've probably spent and donated more than many on here so I'm entitled to information about where we're going. If there are doubts about the way forward or uncertainties then we won't succeed and if I've got questions, others will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troonmaroon Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 A bit of support from new owners and/or FOH. Tv cash, walk up sales, away fans, merchandise etc etc... Whilst STs account for bulk, plenty more streams avail too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 We'll hopefully be under new ownership by then and even ?100k plus coming in every month from FOH direct debits. I'd be quite happy to leave my DD running even if FoH are unsuccessful with their bid, assuming it was workable and all monies still go to HMFC. Hopefully it'd create a sizeable nest egg in preparation for future hard times, should they come. They could offer a table of 10 in the GS every home game in a draw or something...

7628mm Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Will will have received the first instalment of the SPL TV money, Wonga sponsorship, walk up sales and hospitality, plus whatever the new owners deem that they need for working capital. If I was BDO I would be asking the following the following: SPL for an advance on the SPL TV money. They after all state that they will "Represent and safeguard the interests of its members;" Ask WONGA for an advance. Tricky one this as their "raison d'etre" is to charge massive amounts of interest. However the publicity gained would be great for them Ask Adidas, wonga or others if they would like naming rights to Tynecastle say ?100,000 per anum. The supporters will do all they can but we do need help and some of or all of the above will help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookie Bear Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Just checked fixtures and we are lucky enough to have 2 home games against celtic, hibs and aberdeen who traditionally bring the biggest away supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
