Jamhammer Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Truth is if anyone stayed away today cos of the way we've been playing they probably missed our best performance since Aberdeen, which was also a 0-0 weirdy enough. The rugby certainly had an effect, on me anyway. I had to walk home cos there was nae buses. Egg chasing ****s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab WL Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 1 hour ago, Walter Bishop said: 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. Closing the ticket office at 1pm is not helping to encourage walk up fans who are needed to fill some of the new additional seats - the rugby did not help either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We walked all the feckin way to Waverley because there were queues of folk waiting to get into Haymarket. Back on the topic, you really get the impression that some folk - Hearts fans, allegedly - are nursing wee semis at how bad they perceive things to be. It's pitiful. Some of them were probably moaning that we weren't building a bigger stand. It can only be a matter of time before the plane is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Anyone trying to blame the weather/rugby/Xmas shopping etc for the drop in attendances is deluded. I was a season ticket holder for the past 12 seasons before this one but haven't enjoyed it for 3 out of the last 4 seasons (the championship being the one good one). I was at a few games earlier this season but the gers game did it for me and I'm not blindly going to go along to watch dire and unentertaining football every weekend. I've got better things to waste my money and time on! I know a lot of other fans who feel the same as me. I've not given up but just feel a bit disillusioned at the moment.

Although the result was dissapointing, there was desire and effort all over the park today. I thought we merited a win and on another day, we could have won by 2 or 3 goals.

Re your second paragraph, don't you realise that those of us who go home and away are slowly killing this club? By attending we are saying we accept mediocrity. The true supporters are the ones who say 'No more' and punctuate their displeasure with their non-attendance. Those are the lifeblood of Hearts.

Bazzas right boot Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I had a choice to our game or the rugby. Clearly there would be more than just me with that cunandrum, I chose wrong! But it would have affected the attendance as would our poor form. It's not really a debate, surely that is a fact. No one is saying we are in great form and that poor form is a big factor, but folk would have chosen the rugby over the football, I chose the football over the rugby but given there is 4/5 home games a year, some would have chosen the rugby. It's not worth any type of argument. Still not a bad crowd, a bigger crowd wouldn't have meant we would have won either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performances don't help but this time of the year people have more choices they can make and no doubt the rugby played a factor in the crowd today. It happens. Not being deluded just being factual.

My nephew didn’t go today and he’s bored watching. The new fans that are the life blood of the club don’t have the same tolerance levels as those that have attended for 25 + years. My tolerance is also going, not because of a few bad results but because we have spunked money on shite for so long with no real sign of improvement. Appreciate that some people rely on Hearts as a release from family. Me, I’d rather spend it with my family that feel like I’m wasting my time watching a bunch of individuals with limited skill and even less desire.
