I think, realistically, that if people are going to renew based on players then they may not get a true sense of how the team will actually play until possibly Friday 12 July at earliest, and even then it will be a team playing without even Naismith in it, never mind a potential addition in midfield. If it was my choice I'd prefer us to get a midfielder who although ability would be a benefit being a destroyer of sorts would be a help. Someone who could sit in front of the back 4 and stop the opposition playing. In general all fans dislike Scott Brown of Celtic, for example, the likes of Aitken and Grant at Celtic, and guys like McCall and Hurlock at Rangers maybe fell into the same bracket. Players probably remembered more for stopping the opposition from playing than for their own attacking influence on the side they played in. If Djoum is going and Olly Lee does leave (I appreciate in the case of the latter it isn't because we no longer think there is a place for him in the side but is all to do with the fact his wife hasn't settled in Edinburgh and become very homesick) it would be a huge help if someone arrived who we know would fit in and do a job immediately. As I say, to me it doesn't have to be an attacking midfielder or a box to box midfielder, just someone who can slot in and do a job for the side. But in terms of actually sitting and watching how any newcomer will fit in it could be a wee while yet before that impact becomes visible, and may not have any immediate influence on ST sales.

Yes - - that's why I said there might be moves being made - but it doesn't mean Hearts are not going to sell any more tickets there - could just be a temporary stop while they make some changes (I'm in one of the blue dots!)

Personally I can’t wait for the Dundee United game it’s just a pity there aren’t more like me. There’s plenty like you Mitch.

It would have been a good idea to have put out a side that played football worth watching more than a handful of times after the new stand was completed and so improved the chances of at least holding onto our existing ST holders. There will always be folk like you and me who will follow whatever the quality of the "product" but not enough to satisfy at least my ambitions for the club.

However even taking injuries into account I still believe we could have done better in terms of results and certainly in terms of the appeal of our football. And if so that ST sales would have been higher. My recent and very rare appearance on the thread was in response to the suggestion that this years ST sales disproved suggestions on JKB that a higher capacity than the new stand provides would have been preferable ... which is at best a premature coclusion).

The new stand albeit allowing more fans to buy seats than before was not just about increased capacity though. The constant stream of money it was costing to keep the old stand maintained was becoming unsustainable and limited the commercial side of things. The new stand will contribute much more revenue just from the commercial side of things even if tickets sales are a bit restricted due to our lack lustre finish in the league.
