I did come under the bridge for one of the games we played last year and those gates were locked, and I may have jumped to the conclusion that was the case for all the league games we played there. I do remember leaving the first league game we played there, with the intention of heading back up to Gorgie Road, and it took about 25 minutes just to get under the railway bridge. I'd imagine it could be busier this time round with more people leaving and possibly hoping to avoid contact with Celtic fans heading back up Roseburn towards Glasgow Road/Haymarket Station. I remember at the Barcelona game with a 58k crowd that bridge was a nightmare. We were in the West that day so had to go round the back of the South but it was very very slow in both directions. I believe you can also get into the West and South by going over the Water of Leith footbridge at the end of Baird Drive and crossing the car park. Is that correct?

As someone else said, if you set the LP threshold at ST level you'll get everyone who's entitled as it stands just now, plus the few who've still earned it but without an ST. There would be no need for extra phases or longer phases, it's just giving high LP holders the same right to a ticket as an ST holder's mate. It really is the core of what LPs are meant to be for.

This place is mental at times You have to think that the majority that are making up our 18,000ish home crowds will go to this, when you add in family members etc its hard to tell how much that will take it up to, 20 - 22k-ish would be disappointing IMO, upwards of 25,000 would be a good effort. With Jalbo's count showing roughly 17,000 sold so far, I reckon we'll be around 18-19,000 come the public sale, which may add an extra 2,000 - 3,000 to take us up to 22,000ish. Maybe I am being a bit pessimistic, but that would be on the disappointing side. That number would look impressive on the TV however. Both tiers of the East Stand (that TV faces) full and also bottom tiers of behind the goal and West stand.

Agreed, but the loyalty point system is intended for situations where demand outstrips supply. This isn’t the case here, there are plenty tickets for all. If we take our 13,000 season ticket holders and then add 2,001+ loyalty point holders equivalent to season ticket level then the ‘+1’ offer can’t be honoured in a single sales phase. By not offering the +1 you run the risk of greatly reducing the day trippers who are required to get us anywhere near 30,000. Any remaining loyalty point holders are likely to be far more motivated to snap up the remaining tickets in the second sales phase compared to the day trippers who would now be expected to come along and sit on their own. This is an unusual situation where Hearts have more tickets than general demand will require so they have devised a strategy to try and maximise overall sales therefore providing greater overall backing for the team.

I'm not disagreeing with what you say, but I do suspect you may well find that in terms of loyalty points it wouldn't make as big a difference as you maybe think. Most of those I associate with are ST holders, go regularly (i.e. every game) to away games and also spend a lot of money in the club shop and put money into the club in other ways. My SC held a function in the club over the Summer for example, and in terms of the cost to our club and the money taken behind the bar from those who attended I would guess it generated income to the club of around £7,500. As a club we also have a very healthy shareholding in HMFC, but for these sort of things we have never looked for any additional loyalty points. I do tend to think, as I said, that while there will be a few exceptions I suspect that most of those who attract loyalty points through their ST and points gained from away games also put loads of money into the club in different ways and at the end of the day there wouldn't be huge differences in the current make up of the loyalty points totals as such, as many of those who already have a reasonable number of points might just end up with even more. It is the sort of discussion that comes up every time there is a game where people want to be there but worry they may not have enough loyalty points. I genuinely think that most, if not all, people who want to be at Murrayfield for the game against Celtic will secure a ticket. They may not be able to sit next to the people they'd like to (i.e. groups may not get seats together) but actually being there shouldn't be a problem and the people they do sit next to will be HMFC fans as well.

I have no axe to grind here as I said in my earlier post I don't have a problem personally with the way the club have sold tickets for the semi at Murrayfield. I raised these points baeed on what Nanojambo had said in his post so hopefully he reads your comments which are more relating to him than me in my opinion. Great to see that you and your mates and members are raising so much money for the club so well done on that front and keep up the good work.

Sir Vladimir of Romanov Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Loyalty points are awarded to those that go and support the team. Not the club. While it's great people support the club by buying merchandise etc, its only right that those that go home and away get first crack at tickets. If people don't want to miss out get off the internet and go to games or at least stop moaning about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with this. When I was growing up the Hun were the dominant team, winning the league every year as part of their 9 in a row. Every boy who was interested in football in my year "supported" them, had the kit etc. None of them (that I still know) support them now and have no interest in them; in fact they generally watch English football. Because of my family connection to Hearts (my Dad) I have always supported Hearts and now have a season ticket, go to away games etc. If it weren't for that I would have probably been a Hun like the others (sickens me to say that) but eventually got bored and probably supported (in the loosest sense) a "big" team. Hearts and Scottish football would have lost out on the cash I put in and I am sure there are numerous examples of a similar situation. Today it's kids wearing Celtic tops......I wonder why.
