mayfield Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Lads and ladies...can I assist too? I've bought a bunch of merch this week to get some cash into the club, but would love to help get a hearts daft bloke a season ticket and in there supporting the team if possible. Who's Paypal can I send to for this? Will chuck in 30 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Just had a wee read through this, unbelievable gestures from most of you guys. Like Wee Robbo, put all this 'Hibs Hearts' pish to one side because deep down we're all just football supporters following the club we both love. In the process of moving house down to Southend so money is incredibly tight right now but if someone can point me in the right direction I'm more than happy to donate (might only be a small figure mind) come Friday when payday arrives. Stick in HoG mate, wish you and your family all the best. Good stuff mate You'll be a marked man on hibs.net though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrinkly Ninja Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thanks Dagger. Again a very generous offer. If the wife gets better or if I can get care organised I may take you up on that offer. You'd better not call my two little GIRLS boys though!!! They will tell you very quickly that they are not boys!!! HAHAHAHA!! What kind of care we talking about HOG? Is this something that can be arranged through a third party? Even for enough time for you to get out with the girls? I will happily pitch in with time or money to make it happen!

Dano307 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Only just found this thread - as others have said, brought a tear to my eye. Can I make a suggestion RE the season ticket that is bought - raffle it off at ?5 for a ticket - alot of people have said over the last few days that they just dont have the money to renew/buy a season ticket, but i am sure most could afford ?5 for the chance of getting one. with the money that is made, buy another and do it again and again and again - its a win/win. If any money is left over - buy the OP's kids a home top, then they can support the team from home in style Think this is a good idea! I'd be more than happy to enter into the raffle with the chance to win one. Had a couple people on the 'xxxx season tickets sold' thread offering to pool together for a ticket for me so, if those guys are reading; as much as I'd love a ST, could I ask just to put any money into this idea? That way it gives more people a chance and much more money to the club :-) cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonman Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) I'm in absolute bits reading this thread. HoG, I know at close hand how fantastic the members of JambosKickback can be and all the offers that have been offered to yourself by the members on here has been nothing short of wonderful and I doth my Cap to everyone. The support I received from the members on here when I posted about losing my son (13) suddenly to a brain embolism was overwhelming and more than 8 yrs on,I still read the posts as one of the family kindly printed the whole thread up. Callum's sister now 11, sat with Me one night recently while I was reading them and like myself she was in floods of tears, It was the 1st time she had seen them. There was a thread posted on Hibs Net by my sister in law and they too were fantastic. The Club were also Fantastic to Myself and the Family and I will forever be indebted to everyone associated with Our Famous Club. I suffer from chronic back pain,arthritis etc and still suffer from what happened 8 yrs ago and I'm unable to work and my Wife cares for Me,and my daughter, so I know how hard it is. Last Word from Me is that I hope Your Wife can make a recovery and that your Family issues improve as fast as they can. Best wishes to You and the family, Maroonman There is nothing better than being part of the Hearts family.

Heartsofgold Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi everyone. I got a PM last week from Allez Rossineri telling me that all the money donated is going to Big Hearts and buying an adult and child ST in my wife and kids names. This is just fantastic and I hope they are well used. My wife is a huge Jambo to and was in tears when I showed her this thread. A big thank you goes out to everyone who has donated. With great Jambos....and even the occasional brilliant Hibby....looking at you Wee Robbo....this brilliant club will never die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Just glad me and some guys are able to do our bit. Tickets being bought tomorrow, and I believe Big Hearts will be passing the tickets onto a school to be used by kids that may not normally have been able to get along to Tynecastle. This'll probably be my last post on the thread so would just like to wish you and your family all the best again Heartsofgold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartsofgold Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Guys. I'm bumping this thread up as a wee reminder. Back in 2013 I was in a really dark place in life. No job, my wife was seriously ill and I had 2 young kids to try and support. On top of that our club was almost driven to extinction and I'm not afraid to admit I was driven into a real pit of despair at the time. Just read through the tread again and it brought some tears again thinking back to the generous nature of a lot of posters on this thread. Fast forward 6 years.....my mental health is far better, I've been back in a full time, well paid job for a few years, my wife is still ill and in a wheel chair now but her general health is far better than it was. The most important thing outside of that is that we saved this club and I will never forget it. I managed to take the kids to their 1st game 4 years ago and got us all season tickets after that (at their insistence)!! They are now 11 & 9 and love going to Tynecastle. They were at the final last month and at both the semi-final and League Cup Semi at Murrayfield. Both of them were in tears at the final whistle at the final, they were both so sure we'd win. They would not have those memories but for the way we came together and saved this club. I would not have the memory of their faces at these big games. My (Heart)felt gratitude to each and every single person that has bought season tickets, matchday tickets, merchandise, run fund raising days, raided their piggy banks, joined the Foundation and every other way we've raised money to keep Heart of Midlothian Football Club a part of all our lives and futures.

I've gone through my own trials and tribulations since then, marriage breakdown, money woes etc but I'm now back on my feet and restarted my DD to FoH just last week to continue to job we originally started.

Kiwidoug Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 HoG reminds us all of how much Hearts mean to so many of us. I still find it hard to comprehend how much money Hearts supporters raised and continue to raise each month. Absolute millions, most of which come from ordinary people like HoG. The pay off on the field will come, I am absolutely certain of that. I am just one of thousands who get a feel good feeling every month when the email comes through telling me that my FoH sub has rocketed through cyberspace and tucked itself safely away in the bank. I again want to pay tribute to JKB. It played a monumental role in our recovery. Hindsight tells us that letting our Hearts club die was never a viable option.
