Meadows Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Following the negativites regarding the Tynecastle Arms and the lack of support for the fund raising events,i had a chat with the Managing Director of the company that own the 3 pubs. He has agreed to buy 2 season tickets per pub for the regulars in each of the bars to use on a 'draw' basis. This purchase of 6 season tickets will boost Hearts coffers by over ?2000 ! All's well that ends well ! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shapes Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 or maybe they were regulars? so someone should stand for half an hour for a drink just because other folk are considered regulars? Sorry but they should have to wait like everyone else. It's that sort of attitude that makes folk not enjoy drinking in the pub and will go somewhere else. Definitely do not have that sort of problem in the bmc or stratties. Fwiw I actually like the tynie arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fxxx the SPFL Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 don't class myself as a regular but do pop in on my way home from work during the week and staff are fine yes it does get a bit manic on matchdays but if you know the bar staff names it does help, I have been going to the Ardmillan for a good few years before and after matches and yes I do get served before others but only because they recognise me even although i'm a shortarse i just wave my notes above the bar.
