bauld willie Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Was at a family function tonight and there were 6 not renewing as long as Levein and Cathro are in place. That's a fair wedge missing and they'll not be alone worryingly. On my part I'm well pleased with the seat been allocated which is 4 rows further up from my seat now I really hope this doesn't happen but the same thing is being said time and time again now, right across the board. Surely Budge can't ignore this and has to act on our management hierarchy. If she ignores this and oversees any significant drop on attendances next session, then she can't possibly have the best interests of our club at heart. She then becomes part of the problem and not part of the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right so next step lets get her out.....then we just bring in a rich foreign owner and we can start getting in players we cant afford. Perfect got you.

Perfect got you. I'm sorry but as current owner she is responsible for our entire club. Are you honestly trying to tell me that if she oversees a huge drop in attendances next year, she is doing her job properly. Hopefully this will sort itself out, but the moment she puts the interests our DOF's ego before supporters, is the time she had given up on this club. Budge, Levein and Cathro are only temporary here, without supporters, you have absolutely nothing. The absolute steadfastness of FOH contributions is probably lulling her into a false sense of security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our current owner is laying foundations for the supporters to enjoy supporting the club for years to come, if you feel you can't get on board with this philosophy and can't see the work she's putting in to make that happen then I suggest you take up Snakes and Ladders, or something similar that won't test your mind to much.

Clerry Jambo Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 There is nothing to suggest a massive drop in attendances, don't think that's ever happened to Hearts that I can remember.

We are about to scrap our entire squad because this guy can't get them to anywhere near their potential, if we are all wrong and he turns out to be the next SAF he will leave anyway.. there is no long term at this level.. Either way Ian Cathro is not part of hearts long term future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In her job as owner should she not be attempting to appease all of our supporters, bringing us all together and build a positive momentum going forward. What happened to the decisive Budge, who swept all aside and put this club in the forward positive direction we could all get behind. Where is the accountability at Tynecastle these days and why can't Cathro do the decent thing a fall on his sword. Even the absolute luddite Yogi Hughes did the honourable thing by leaving Raith Rovers, and his record was better than Cathro's and he didn't have a transfer window to change anything.

In fact you mention Ann Budge which most negative posters fail to do. But our crowds are up to 2,000 higher than they might be because fans rallied due to the threat of liquidation, then administration, the championship then bouyed by promotion. Crowds going down a bit is okay. But hopefully we'll fill it with improved football and players including the youngsters coming through next few seasons.

I think she must be full of doubts on the way the footballing side is going under Levein's stewardship. Budgement day was decisive and her current total faith in the DOF, ignoring a huge percentage of our supporters who clearly want management change and a smaller minority who have threatened not tho renew, risks alienating supporters from our club.

It's the loss of positive momentum that grates with me. We had an opportunity to continue forward this season and have a good bash at a new season ticket record next season with the new stand. All we have done is to allow Levein to experiment for absolutely no reason and it has been an utter failure. We as supporters are all over the place in this and it does not bode well.

Christ every clubs crowds fluctuate depending what's on the pitch. Season ticket numbers will probably drop although I don't think considerably and walk ups may make up the deficit I don't doubt you that there has ever been a significant drop off, but does anyone know season ticket numbers for the past 10-15 years? I know last year was record total at 13,500, I would be surprised if we match that again to be honest. I think a combination of the new stand and having derbies back will ensure numbers don't drop off too much though. We will see a larger % sell closer to the season starting as opposed to now compared to the last few seasons. As the season draws near, new signings come in, fixtures are announced etc many will not want to be away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
