Kiwidoug Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks FF. Considering everything, that's very good indeed. Cant believe I'm the only supporter who got a real lift from the Cup Final performance. A couple of encouraging signings will take us close to the 13 500 mark by the end of August imo.

The club stated 13k on 3rd August last year. Based on club figures we have just over 1200 to sell before August to match last year. Very doable imo.

I agree with all of that except perhaps your last sentence (I think) . My feeling was we expected to challenge for 2nd and get at least third, though of course we didn't raise false expectations. Had Hanacek come in in August and had he actually been as good as we clearly thought he was, then it might have been a realistic expectation. The injuries put paid to our chances, plus the other factors you mention. I too (a happy clapper) was bored and rarely clapped. that semi final injury to Naismith really knocked the stuffing out of the team and the fans.

The Scottish league prize money is pathetic. Not sure but I Think it's a decent jump when sky get the new contract, still pittance tho. Ofc, no chance of a euro run or a big draw to help boost the funds. Aberdeen Likley got a bit of cash for the two bt games v Burnley last season. Xxx3rd to 6th is exactly £500k difference.

Here is the Scottish Cup prize money for 2017/18 For playing in: Prelim R1: £3000 Prelim R2: £3000 R1: £4000 R2: £5000 R3: £6000 R4: £9000 R5: £12000 R6: £15000 SF: £18000 Runner Up: £30000 Winner: £60000 If the prize money was the same last season then Hearts would have received £84,000 in prize money (£30k + £18k + £15k + £12k + £9k) for their run to the final. Cheers, that's what I meant sf and final gate receipts and TV money is large ( relatively). I know the prize money is poor. Even in the past, the games with hibs have been worth close to £200k if reported figures were true. That's a whole league placing prize money, in fact it is more. Ofc,it would be good to combine the league and Cup runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone disagrees with you they should stop watching Hearts. ... you have your opinion, it’s yours & you are entitled to it, no dispute ... the concern is how people of your ilk turn positives into negatives. Perhaps it’s an unintentional way you express yourself but it comes over as if you enjoy any Hearts failure and that you love to wallow in misery .... very negative and depressing! 5 years ago Hearts could have ceased to exist, look at them now ..... they’re doing great! Please be happy, rejoice and try to be positive, celebrate all that is great about the famous Heart of Midlothian ...THEN NOW & FOREVER!

I don't know is the short answer, but if Hearts share of the gate at the final was equivalent to say 40% of the attendance, then you might be looking at 20,000 x £20 (allowing for VAT and concessions), or £400,000. Add broadcasting rights, and receipts in the run to the final and you could be looking at the bast part of a £1m boost to the club's turnover. The League cup semi on its own could probably generate something similar to the SC final, given that the two semi's were probably pooled.

But was told it more like over 15 million because of cup runs. Find out in December I guess. Edited June 18, 2019 by johnking123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstandjambo Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Just done another count. I am not convinced how accurate it is in respect of Main Stand sales as according to my figures for today and yesterday there appear to have been 48 sold in Section T in 24 hours. The following figures come with some sort of caveat. Seats left - 3,935 Estimated sales - 11,737 Club estimated sales - 11,962. Total of 37 sold excluding Section T.

My feeling was we expected to challenge for 2nd and get at least third, though of course we didn't raise false expectations. Had Hanacek come in in August and had he actually been as good as we clearly thought he was, then it might have been a realistic expectation. The injuries put paid to our chances, plus the other factors you mention. I too (a happy clapper) was bored and rarely clapped. that semi final injury to Naismith really knocked the stuffing out of the team and the fans. Im strongly influenced, in my aspiratiions comment, by the selling of the first 19 goals striker in a very long time and completley failing to replace. We had a lot of pts to catch up on Dons and hobos even before that decision. Im not faulting the decision necessarily, but its not the look of a club aiming for 4th from that position.

I don't think we intended to leave ourselves without a replacement - I think Vanacek wa ssupposed to be the replacement, with Uche as alternative and Wighton backing him up. I would criticise them for not being sure enough re getting Vanacek, though as it turns out he may have been useless anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
