David McCaig Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 12 months of dire football is now taking its toll. I can only see Tynecastle getting emptied as the season progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yep. Just over 15,500. I think Ann might have got a bit of a shock that shiny new facilities don't attract arseholes unless said arseholes have something decent to watch. That said, we were better today than we have been in recent weeks although that is a pretty low baseline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Ann Budge thought we'd get big crowds if playing pish football simply because of having a new stand? Or are you just acting the goat as usual?

Erik Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The weather probably hasn’t helped today, and I dare say there’s probably a few bodies who’d have chosen to go watch the egg chasing - but the decline in numbers was always going to be inevitable given the football on show. The only real surprise is that it’s taken this long to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The fans aren't prepared to continue to watch an insipid 'work in progress'. They took over in 2014 and have had since then to build a team. Instead they've continually shipped out decent players and refused to create any stability on the field. The outcome being the current pish we are being subjected to. I can't blame anyone for preferring not to have their weekend ruined after paying circa £20 to watch dross play like dross.

kila Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Run of home games at an expensive time of year not going to help, but not excusing the way Hearts have been playing lately, as that's definitely having a factor too The empty hospitality seats - are those lounges even ready for those seats yet? Why don't the club just release them? Wasn't many spare tickets left for the new stand, and those seats in prime location would've sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Bishop Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 With roughly 14,000 season ticket holders and around 500 Ross County fans, added to whatever is in hospitality means we had way less than 1000 walk up fans. Worrying. Also worrying is though officially 15,601 is the attendance there was no more than 13,000 there today. Plenty of season ticket holders staying away.
