Fully agree , like you I try and explain to my daughters what Tynecastle used to be like , I'm not sure they get it. Both of them commented on how we were out sung in the last two big games .

Your comment about HUMOUR AND PISS TAKE of opposition fans and players , sadly that was one of the things the enclosure fans were warned about  when calling Mixu " names" wasn't it? . I remember that fat hibs **** and the French decanter thrower doing a daft we dance in the 6-2 game tho , but I suppose that's okay that they can hand it out but not take it back .

 

Tynecastle recently has been for the want of a better description too sterile and from what I've witnessed so far , barely a celebration when scoring on Saturday ,a permanent move to Murrayfield under Robinson would've killed us , nice stadium but not for us .

 Agree! I've an 11yr old boy, season ticket holders and I'm always telling him how good Tynie was in the old days under the shed and he can't believe it, for the game on Sat against Rangers he said to me on the Friday night that i could go with my mates he wanted a long lie, point being he isn't getting the buzz i got when a lad and i worry I'm gonna lose his interest in going to matches soon

We used to be a genius support with chants. 

 

 

" Tony Mowbray's got a ****ing monkey's heid...."

 

Not much until someone started belting out

 

" Some wee monkeys got a Tony Mowbray heid."

 

Cracks me up now, my point is, theres a cheekiness about Tynecastle thats disappeared. I've never witnessed Tynie being overtly bigoted in my times, ive heard bits and pieces but we were good at being wind up merchants and having a good atmosphere. 

 

I dont bekiev seata have much to do with it. Championship season was brilliant for atmosphere.

 

I just think were acting all expectant again. Plus the footie isnt upto scratch.

 

Id be fully in favour of setting up some form of section where all the singing, all the chats all the displays is initiated by them. Bring drums back. Let them get a bit cheeky with opposition, without the fear of getting banned for life if gets a little too boisterous. ( Obv theres laws to abide). Its not too far fetched is it?

This.

 

Can you  imagine "The Shed" back in the day.....   sorry the club has banned most of the Gorgie Fist for over exuberance in their loyal backing  of the players on match days.

 

While the vermin get off scot free with wrecking Hampden and kicking feck out of NEWCO fans and some of their players.

 

Budge has forgot that when trying to create a safe family environment on match days she has overlooked the passion and over exuberance of hardened PHM. 

 

Match days at Tynecastle Park are now turning  into a  family day out at some event at the local library.

[Ray Gin]

I suspect that having parents with young bairns scattered all over the stadium is a bit of an atmosphere killer. We should maybe have a couple of

sections of the stadium set as being full adult prices only. This might encourage singing section to naturally develop in these sections rather than it being directly billed as such.

Would the club allow such a thing ? I very much doubt it.

As I said in the past, regarding a singing section, good luck with it.

Good post.  I think Ann demonstrated that she didn't really "get it" when she said that she wanted families to be able to sit in any seat in any part of the stadium and feel comfortable: achieving that dream is not going to make Tynecastle a particularly great stadium for our viewpoint.  We do not have any edge, any hostility or any atmosphere.

There has to be some thinking outside the box in my opinion, if that is the club's position.

Off the top of my head, a card display in either of the stands. Gets people of all ages involved and could, possibly, lead to a growth of a better atmosphere at home.

Maybe sounds a bit naff to some but the alternative is what ? 

[Bowmans_Boot]

I think a singing section is a must. Obviously there has to be ground rules, but similarly the club has to accept that a group of teenagers, pumped up and motivated, might just push the boundaries a little. "Zero tolerance" is not an option, imo. Hibs, Celtic, Rangers and other clubs allow their groups some leeway, because they appreciate what they bring to the stadium. We cannot be the one and only club who demand absolutely perfect behaviour.

Sounds like a decent idea to me, I know I hold back if theres kids around, there never was in Upper N but that options gone now.

Maybe someone (or a group of people) just needs to put together some viable properly thought out ideas and approach the club? I don’t know if that has happened. Maybe it already has.

The club needs to be open to it, though. Given the manner in which they banned the last young team, for pretty much nothing in football fans terms, and most certainly absolutely nothing compared to the OF/Hibs, that would be up for debate.

They can’t be completely closed to it given they accommodated a group who wanted to try it not all that long ago. It didn’t work out, but that doesn’t mean it never will.

I hear, and agree, with a lot of this post but the many players and fans that voted Tynecastle  the best away day for atmosphere etc,  are basing that on the all-seated Tynecastle...not the old shed one !

 

So, if they are basing it on the new stadium, it should be pretty easy to get that accolade back. 

 

True, especially due to the fans being so close to the pitch. Here's hoping the new look stadium brings that edge back and we can use rhe crowd to our advantage again

Certainly does kill the atmosphere in  G, loads of kids in there these days.

 

 

Whilst its good to see young fans taking an interest in Hearts.It would be better for them to be in one  family stand.

I'm not so sure a family only stand is the way to go I'd be more inclined to go with an area / section or two that didn't allow under 12's ( I've used that age as the ST are U12's) 

Personally I hated having to go into a family only stand when the kids were younger , whilst I wouldn't have taken them into section G or the notorious section N  I'd much have preferred sitting with mates whilst having my kids with me .

 

 

likewise you could have a couple of sections that are family only

Can understand why you didnt want to take them into section N .

They would have probably fell asleep with the lack of atmosphere

 

However its still a good point and would take it a step further.

if we could place all the easily offended  in there own section as well.

Or maybe even encourage them to take up a more suitable sport.

Maybe a working class football team just aint for them.

Don't think it was the songs they were singing at least not at Tynecastle anyway. Maybe at away games the song book was and still is a bit more colourful. Were the major complaints not that they were in the wrong place and that people couldn't see the game because they were waving their flags and because they kept banging drums quite a lot. There was the incident with the stewards baseball cap though !!!!

 

[Baxfee]

Why are people blaming this on kids or Anne’s influence? If you look at other teams all fans of all ages are up on their feet singing their hearts out! Bottom line is we have some rubbish songs. I like the going to Europe song - bit different and ‘ours’. However not a hope in hell of getting the crowd going - most people don’t know all the words!!!  I was looking at YouTube last night for inspiration- made myself look at a couple of hibs fans songs. Simple, ok tune, easy to sing - now need to go for therapy as all I can hear in my head is h*bz hibs woah .....  I know people will say it’s crap but watch the crowd - they’re going mental. I want to do that at a hearts game, with our songs!!!!  I’m off to see a shrink

I don't agree with this sorry 

 

Ann is our clubs saviour no doubt about it and nothing will ever change that and I'm not decrying her but when it came to the fan stuff IMO she got it badly wrong

 

She chased out our hostile 90 minute fans and made it crystal clear that she wanted to have a family environment where families could come to the game and watch it without any boisterous behaviour and people feeling intimidated with those around them 

 

whilst I'm not advocating that our fans all tool up and follow through with what's being said at the game 90 minutes is 90 minutes and you can't have an intimidating hostile environment and have a family friendly environment in the same place - I don't think she realised this and is still struggling with it 

 

whenever I used to talk to fans of other clubs and asked them about Tynecastle they would mention how intimidating it was standing in the away end with 14k jambos snarling away at them and their team - the lion's den was used on more than one occasion to describe the atmosphere - used to make me feel proud 

 

we can get back to this in my opinion but Ann needs to do what all other club chairs do in the country and that's to let it go a bit 

 

and before anyone (Adam) starts getting their self in a knot saying this post is advocating sectarian and racist behaviour it's not - you can be hostile and  not make our ground a great away day for fans of other clubs where they feel a bit intimidated about coming - I don't want fans of other clubs enjoying their away day at Our ground - no disrespect but I don't want them to have the "tynecastle experience"  I want them shitting their self quite frankly and to tell everyone they know about their little day out

In a nutshell.

 

But I don't think Ann is struggling with it at all. Season ticket sales are as high as they ever have been, and she is clearly focussed on creating a very family friendly atmosphere.

There is plenty of passion on here, and I see it amongst Hearts fans in 'real life' and on other social media. Okay, it may not be always a positive passion right now, but it is still there.

 

Maybe there is an identity issue. We want to be seen as a club that supports the team in the right way, but do we then come across as being a bit St Pauli or, even worse, Celtic, where it becomes sloganeering and constantly saying about how wonderful we are as fans? but this forgets a generation or two of being very much an angry mob, making Tynie an intimidating place to visit.

 

I dunno, just thinking aloud to be honest.

Tbh I’d never go down the self righteous sickening route of the tim tramps trying to convince the world they’re the best fans I really couldn’t care less about how others see us. Hearts have good fans, in that I mean fans that put their hand in their pocket more than most and they need to get angry about it.

[All roads lead to Gorgie]

I will sound old but when I started following the club in the late 70s the build up of atmosphere started outside the ground, even as far away as the city centre with groups joining after a few bevvies and chanting all the way to Gorgie. Now people just seem to turn up and the excitement that used to build as you approached the ground is missing to a great extent. That kind of kills the excitement that leads to an full on atmosphere inside the ground.

1/2 price season tickets next year for the noisiest section over the whole season.

 

The place would be like one of those radge Turkish grounds you see - full on carnage, goats being slaughtered, the works.

 

Now that is dynamic pricing !
