ToadKiller Dog Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Given the crowd was 19429, unless that was a lie. hearts support looked much of a much of what we have had at Tynecastle all season so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No investigation needed. We're not playing too well just now, we were playing a team that some of our more fickle fans thought we'd lose against, therefore they didn't bother their collective arses to turn up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would budge investigate people paying for a seat and then not exercising the right to use it? Who cares give a ****. 12.00 KO and on TV means a lot of folk who have to pay to pay to travel and / or travel a great distance will just watch it on the box. I can’t wait for us to get a few wins so this place becomes bearable again. Edited December 3, 2018 by Mr Elwood P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of empty seats, that much can't be denied. If it was our biggest attendance of the season then it was clearly st holders that didn't attend. Certainly looked a lot less than our midweek encounter against Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm doon. There have been debates about this in the past. We've all came to an agreement that the figure given is tickets sold. A few hundred seats empty because of KO times etc, is no biggie !

But as a business we had the money. As noted above a fair few people who have paid for STs wouldn't attend , probably more than usual a) because of the crap kick off time and b) for personal reasons and c) because we are playing crap d) you have to put up with the sectarian nonsense which some people don't find entertaining e) it was on the telly. All clubs have plenty of ST holders who don't attend. I'm happy we are building for the future and lets hope we get our act together on the park once the players come back after Christmas, as then there will be a business imperative to ensure people renew for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official attendance is on tickets sold not those that parked their arse. The crowd for a Sunday at 12 was good, you’re seeing something that isnt there.

I am not 100% sure what happens in Scotland, but in England where I was involved with a stadium the council I worked for leased, the capacity that really mattered was what was permissible through the safety certificate *note - having checked it seems to be UK legislation - https://www.gov.uk/safety-certificates-for-sports-grounds For example at the ground where I was involved at one point the club had more seats than the safety certificate permitted them to have in attendance. This was because the entrance and exit areas needed to be improved for crowd control. This was subsequently done and the permitted capacity increased. Police Fire brigade and Council will liaise on safety certificates. So at tynecastle, and this is just guesswork on my part, we could have further work to do to improve aspects of the stadium which will allow us to seat more in future. So the question which should be asked is 'what is the capacity for which we have a safety certificate' Edited December 3, 2018 by scott herbertson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really that thick or just an angry little troll? It’s been done to death that attendance is based on tickets sold. The empty seats are down to those who can’t or didn’t want to attend.
