Season ticket sales will be above 12k

1 - The cost of the stand has increased, the money has had to come from somewhere, the playing budget is one of those places.

2 - League results have been poor, no doubt about that, but in the cups we have done well (or "performed" as you call it).

3 - The level of budget we have there are always going to be some failures. I'd say no club could maintain our early season success after losing so many KEY players.

4 - Of course poor form affects crowds, I never said any different. Changing managers or coaches doesn't suddenly change that.

We've played nobody in the cups. If we had came up against a half decent team in the earlier rounds we would be watching the final on the telly on the 25th.

You can only beat whatever team you're drawn against, doesn't make getting to this stage any less of an achievement

Of course it makes it less of an achievement. We've played some very good teams in the past to reach cup finals but this time we haven't. It's undeniable.

So we only use the league table as a marker to judge Hearts and no one else?

 

There are only seven better sides in the country than Motherwell and Livingston. We are one of them so that means there are only 6 clubs in Scotland who aren’t “nobody” by your logic.

 

St Johnstone who we have beaten twice and drawn once out of three. Aberdeen and Kilmarnock who we have both beaten two out of three. Hibs who we have an equal record with. Are these the teams that would all have had us watching the cup final on the telly?

 

Celtic and Rangers I will agree with you.

Nah the benchmark is beating teams you should and in turn progressing. 

 

We done that. 

Many, many times we haven't. 

 

We've won nothing yet, tho and if we get beat I expect you to me on here making sure everyone knows about it and why. 

 

 

Getting to the point now that us winning the cup  will ram it up some of our own support more than the celtic fans or hibs watching in. 

Also feels like some of them will be more dissapointed than that lot as well. 

 

Tragic.

So, let me get this straight, everyone wants us to lose the final?

 

The negative clan because they (we?) can then say 'I told you so' and the positive clan because they evidently enjoy being served up garbage and defeats?

I don’t think it’s debatable that we’ve under achieved. 

 

While reaching the Scottish Cup Final is brilliant, it would have been an outrage if we hadn’t made it with the draw we had. 

 

Aberdeen made it to the League Cup Final and the Scottish Cup semi-final while still sitting in 3rd place, with a comparable budget to our own. That’s what having a decent manager can do for you.

Or having steady progress over 7/8 years and the same manager given time to build a team.

 

Clarke would have been a better example of a manager having an immediate impact.

 

You can't even get your  example correct to try and have a dig at CL.

Hook line and sinker.

 

So by your own admission Mcinnes has taken them backwards over the last  6/7 years then.....?

Yet you use him as an example of a good manager?

Your example gets worse and worse!!!!

 

A manager who has went from winning a trophy to not and has seen Rangers catch them and the rest gain points season after season on him with Killie still having a chance to better them in the league this season and even us and hibs have gained on them.

All this while Hearts ( admin, new  stand, relegation), Hibs ( relegation, 3 seasons)and Rangers ( admin) were hampered for a good  while

 

Take your own advice, lad.

 

If you are going to use a manager to benchmark CL , you must do much, much, much better.

Poor trolling even for you.

Clarke was a much better example but you couldn't even troll correctly.

 

CL is in his first full season and in the sc final, if he wins it you'll be one of the fans that will struggle to crack a smile. It's ok tho, I'll smile for the two of us.

It’s a bit odd that you think presenting facts is trolling. Derek McInnes won more trophies in his first year at Aberdeen than Craig Levein has won in nearly 40 years involved in football. 

 

That much is fact. 

 

The fact you keep trying to troll other Hearts fans who don’t buy into your philosophy is a bit sad. Why would I be upset about Hearts winning something? I’m a Hearts supporter. You might not completely understand that, because you wanted our biggest rivals to win a trophy a couple of years ago. If we win it, I might even feel as happy as you did that day in May 2016. 

 

Hearts have gained on them, aye? Bet they’re well worried about only being 11 points clear of us

You fell on your face. It was a shite example.

 

You then say I celebrate hibs, while trotting out the common hibs line of CL  being a loser. No Hearts fan who went through over 35 years of no trophies and who witnessed or was about for  Dens would come out with that pish imo. It's the most hibs thing trotted out on here.

 

You then try to make yourself feel better by bring up a  hibs cup win and make me out to be a hibs fan while you call our manager a loser and bum up Derek McInnes.

You actually go on about hibs cup win more than any hibs fan I know, and I know a few.

I don’t think we can really argue that a single victory against Motherwell or St Johnstone alone can be the difference between a bye to a final and something earned?

I don’t think you understand what “bumming up” means. Merely pointed out that Derek McInnes has won a trophy as Aberdeen manager, while Levein hasn’t. Over two spells as Hearts manager. 

 

Sorry that upsets you so much.

You've - 

 

Called me mothy x2

Told me to sit down 

Said I celebrated hibs cup win. 

Said I have broken the rules (I've not, you have tho by naming another poster not on this thread) 

You've called our manager a 40 year loser or something to that effect. 

Said I was putting CL before Hearts ?

 

I don't agree with your opinion on McInnes, for that I pointed out the many flaws in using mcInnes as an example to benchmark CL against. 

 

You then started to slaver the above points for some reason, most likely because you know you used a shite example to rubbish CL so tried to deflect from your original nonsense post, that actually was off topic as well (add that to the list above as well)

Putting forward a logical argument and watching your adversary tie himself up in knots is not trolling.

You posted, I put forward a point, you countered as I thought you would then I blew your point out of the water using your very own argument to do it.

I did take a little more delight in you setting yourself up more than I should have, but then there is nothing wrong with that, is there?

It's keyboard combat at it's finest.

 

Just admit that your point in using McInnes to have a go at CL is a busted flush. No harm in getting something wrong.

 

A more intelligent person would have just used Clarke as an example and saved himself the embarrassment and time as that is a good example to make your point. McInnes is not.
