If it wasn't for them the place would have sold out. People just don't want to sit there next to that god-awful drum! Atmosphere ALWAYS takes care of itself depending on the game. Exactly. Which is why I was giving it the full-on when soneone suggested the atmosphere at games this season was only because the singing section had “galvanised” the fans!

Bluesy1874 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 7 hours ago, John Findlay said: Over the last few seasons there has been a marked rise in tourist visits to Tynecastle. A lot of German tourists. I think our game against schalke in 2004 played a part in this plus the WW1 history. With regards Belgian, Dutch and Swiss tourists. Again I think our Europa League participation in 2004 has played it's part as in the away support we took to Basle and Rotterdam impressed the locals. Schalke have a hearts supporters club called iron blue which myself and another poster are involved in. They came over for the UEFA cup game in 2004 and loved the hearts fans passion in and around gorgie and the stadium. Every year they try and come over for a game And we try and go to a game in Germany. We have about 40- 50 members at the moment. The last game of the German season last season a poster on here was on the pitch at half time doing an interview about the hearts schalke link up which was put on their official website. We also done a tour in may in gelsenkirchen and they taught us the history of schalke and the town and took us to their first ever stadium which was phenomenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrote a while to Club on this but didn't receive a reply. Doesn't cost very much. even mocked up a folded one as an example. Still think it's worth a go. I've thought this for years as well. A reasonable percentage of a Real Madrid crowd is made up of tourists - maybe 5-10%. Students are, of course, the other source of large influxes of people into Edinburgh. I think plenty of people who support an English team, for example, could be persuades to take up Hearts for the duration of their degree. Hearts should always have an obvious presence in central Edinburgh, be it posters, a shop or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauldrick Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 An American visitor sat beside me at the match v Aberdeen, he came from Portland, Oregon, he told me his local team Portland Timbers had Kris Boyd playing for them a while back, he described him as being terrible and totally unfit, I told him that Boyd wasn't too popular around these parts either, he asked me why there were so few Aberdeen fans at the match, I said it was quite a distance for them to come, this amused him, he said that their local Derby was with a team 150 miles away and that there was always a big travelling support between the two clubs, nice guy, he was on his feet cheering when we scored.

To my shame I'm going to watch them play Knokke this coming Saturday, when we booked it we down to play at Dens, never been back since that day in 86.

kirkierobroy Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Don't laugh - a couple of Japanese lads turned up at a Kirkie Rob Roy game last season. Seemed to enjoy the experience, tucked into pies, took lots of photies. How they chose one of our games I have no idea but at least it was an authentic Scottish cultural experience. In the Juniors the only regular tourists we get are the Groundhoppers. Mostly from down south, generally look a bit like trainspotters (long, not-too-clean hair, Calum Gilhooley anoraks, shoulder bags, always put their programme in a plastic bag as soon as they buy it...). You'll get loads of them at Tynie as well. Edited October 22, 2018 by kirkierobroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richiehmfc Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Ive always thought that Hearts/Hibs should get together and have a booth or something on the royal mile selling tickets/merchandise to tourists.

All of them love their football and the great thing is none support an English Premier Club. They support the likes of Hartlepool, Peterborough, Tranmere and Guisley. One has been before and a couple they took up the option of the September student offer.
