We_are_the_Hearts Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It's not a case of just letting people "come and find us" Anyone who isn't aware of this (or any other) Hearts match is unlikely to be swayed by getting an e-mail from the club. Any other form of advertising (radio, newspapers etc) cost money and I would suspect would not give value for money in terms of extra bums on seats Think you are underestimating the "personal touch"...........if we want to grow we need to keep going and not rest on our laurels............Saturday will be most folks first chance to see Juanma and Branco, keep the PR machine ticking..........it's a slow process though..........

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 This may have been asked already but are we able to buy tickets for this before the game tomorrow?

Haken Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 cash gate for Everton game But only because the club was caught by surprise by the amount of people turning up for tickets on the day. Opening a cash gate was a last gasp effort to get folk into the ground while the ticket queue was almost round to the Gorgie Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC86 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Wonder if they should have upped the loyalty points for attending. I think it's pretty poor we can't sell out the wheatfield for a competitive game. The supporters have been phenomenal over the passed few years, so not having a go, but find it strange if people CAN afford it, don't have plans but won't go.

But can see how it irks a little I might be wrong but I don't think it goes to the club, I'm sure it goes to Ticketmaster since it's bought through their eticketing system. On another note I'd agree that the club could do more to publicise the game. If you don't go looking for information you're not likely to know much about it. I don't even recall the club sharing ticketing information much on social media after the initial announcement about prices. There's no harm in resharing ticketing information in the lead up to the match, reminding folk they can print at home and encourage them to see our new signings in competitive action.

jm_hmfc Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 There is pretty much no interest in the league cup anymore unless we get to the semis or final. Am I right in saying that before the St mirren final, the last time was against rangers in 96-97. About time we won this thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydug Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If the managers insist on treating the LC as a reserve match. Then we will have reserve match crowds. Its actually getting a bit embarrassing the length of time since we won this cup. Managers and coaches seem to forget that to the fans winning trophies is what matters. We are not a big enough club to start getting all sniffy about cup competitions. A stated intention in the press tomorrow to put out the strongest team would see ticket sales pick up fast.

In that regard, I would expect RN to put out a decent side, whilst also baring in mind that it is only Arbroath that we are playing and giving a few of the young lads a chance.
