CJGJ Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Disappointing to reckon only 1500 tickets sold if true! Thought we would take a lot more than that! Can't understand why there would be disappointment at 1500 going to an away friendly. Too much hype about attendances home and away leading to unrealistic expectations of what we should take to away grounds...that in turn leads to feelings of disappointment when there should be none.....1500 is a great support to take.

RDC1 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 We are on the 17:53 back to Edinburgh and don't want to miss it. Will I be able to walk back from the stadium in time after the game or should I try and get a taxi? Any advice appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Suns out here in Preston It's out here in Derbyshire, too Bringing a mate north today for his first Hearts match, and he's dead excited. Maybe it's the thought of a few pints in Preston, though Better do well or it'll be more than a bit embarrassing for me in our local on way home, Preston not thought highly of here in Man City/United country!

AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Sunny here in Stockport heading for breakfast soon then for the train. Could well be on the same train (12.16) from Piccadilly My wife's at work in Hazel Grove, gutted that she can't come to the game today. For those not familiar with the area, Hazel Grove is a suburb of Stockport. It's nice to think I might meet some Jambos at Piccadilly Station today instead of some noisy reds and blues!

portobellojambo1 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The total crowd today was around 4,000 apparently. Lucky if there were 1500 Preston fans there which suggest around 2,500 HMFC fans, although the away stand looked to be more full than it was in 2006. Was a good day out spoiled to an extent by what can only be described as a rather lackadaisical performance on the park. I think people are possibly now beginning to understand that the step up from the championship to the premiership is larger than many imagined and we have a fair bit to go yet before we can start thinking about winning cups and pushing Celtic for the league title.

I'm sorry but how on earth can you make that statement after watching a pre season friendly? I wonder what you said last year after Dundee and Cowdenbeath beat us? Didn't turn out too shabby for us did it? Maybe we should wait until we've played 5 or 6 league games before we proclaim we're ****ed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should wait until we've played 5 or 6 league games before we proclaim we're messed! I didn't say we were messed SMH, my thoughts on the coming season is and always was I'll be happy if when it is over we are still in the top division, as to me that in itself represents progress. And it wasn't a personal statement as such it was a reflection on what others were saying in discussion, just general thoughts as people express on here, some think we will do well others think it will be a lot more difficult than last season. Whatever your thoughts on that doesn't make you right or wrong at this stage, and certainly my thoughts on looking at staying in the top division as progress were made before today and weren't really swayed in any way by today.
