We will be 6th after an incredible start to the season, which saw us 1st and about 14 points above hibs. Since the first 10 games, we have been a bottom 6 team... slightly better than Hamilton, based on performance and points. We are in a cup final, due to an unbelievably easy draw. The team are clueless and really don’t look like they give a monkeys. It’s the same clueless - gutless crap that we saw from Cathros team. Half the stadium left at half time yesterday.

I’m just the sort of Hearts fan that will be there through the good times and the bad. The standard of what’s provided on the pitch doesn’t decide whether I buy a ST or not. Other factors in my life do. If I can buy one I do and I have managed to buy one for the past twenty-odd years. In that time i’ve seen us win three Scottish cups and I’ve heard the Champions League anthem at Tynecastle. I’ve also seen us lose 6-2 to Hibs, 5-0 to Livi and 7-0 to Celtic. The bad times just make the good times even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drop to 8th was horrendous. Only highlight was meeting the 98’ team in hospitality at the Killie game at the end of the season. 2-0 defeat. Awful ! Big Giles was perplexed as to why it was so bad. Some other low points were the 3 off at Dundee Utd. Aye, that one ! Michael Stewart off for being a twat !

Reality check for us all and a time to think about how far we have come in recent times since administration etc. It will take a little longer to get back to where we belong...with the support of the fans.

Elshin Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Got my first season ticket at 9. Now 34 and had 1 every season. Would renew no matter what. Even though we are under performing i feel the club is on the cusp of being the most sucsessful it has been in most of our lifes. The stadium is stunning, turnover is on the up, FOH 1 year away from owning the club. For most of my life there has been under lying doubts on the clubs survival, that is now gone. Yes we are underperforming and i dont agree with all the decisions the board have made to date, but the foundations have been laid for the coming years, i wouldnt want to have put myself what i have done the past 25 years to miss out on what could be a very good next few years.

Jamhammer Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Tried to renew today but still no sign of a finance option. Sure I heard somewhere it had been resolved.
