Bigger reason crowd will be down tonight is apathy to the piss poor football on show at the minute But it’s 18,000 paying ‘£20’, which I’m sure the club accountant prefers.

I take it you think you're being really clever by saying this. However I can't think of any "community centre" where 17k people turn up to support any of the "activities" that are taking place. You've prattled on about face-painting etc in the past. It's harmless and if it gets kids interested in becoming Hearts fans where's the harm in it. Like or not nowadays a football club has to look at many different ways of generating income. Thankfully our owner understands this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense would tell you that would happen unless everyone who stayed away did it only beause of pricing. That is obviously not the case.
