OTT Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I think Hearts and Hibs need to try and do something to make sure East coast lads are backing Hearts and Hibs. I think its an absolute disgrace seeing OF tops on laddies in Edinburgh. But that said, the strongest campaign would be to push Celtic and the huns all the and show ourselves up and not just also rans. Asking fans to support mediocrity is a tough sell. If Hearts can begin to deliver trophies every couple of seasons then we'd pick up fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower than when I was growing up. I was at Holy Rood and it was all vermin and beggars, there was 4 Hearts fans in my year in the early/mid 80s! Probably around 25% beggars. Now that religion is mainly an afterthought most Edinburgh schools will be more Hearts or Hibs dependent on area. What's even more alarming is the amount of kids who now identify with English teams or ridiculously Spanish teams first. That is shit parenting in action right there!

Their tentacles spread far and wide and are largely based on religion. It's like they're on some kind of mission. A girl I know who is a Celtic fan was visiting relatives in Canada. Her cousin had moved over to Canada as a child and this was their first meeting in over 30 years. She was talking about taking gifts over for the family - whisky for the husband etc What did she take the boys? Celtic tops! They've never seen Celtic play, they've never set foot in Scotland but bloody Celtic tops! That is what the arse cheeks do though. By the way, not long back from playing football in Santa Ponsa and the main strip was awash with Paddy Bars and hundreds of the hooped demons.

AW1 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I worked up in Dunkeld for a while. All Celtic or Rangers fans. Never met one St. Johnstone fan. A bus passed through the high St every other week to pick up fans going to Celtic Park or Ibrox. Absolutely embarrassing however Dunkeld is home to the famous Santa looking Rangers fan who is regularly snapped by photographers at games ??

N Lincs Jambo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 My old boy (born 1914 and sadly no longer with us) was Celtic. He came from Carnoustie and briefly played for Arbroath in the 30s but Celtic was his team. He was RC in an era when most folk were still church goers and influenced by their local priest/minister. Funnily enough he had other close relatives in Carnoustie who chose football as their way to rebel against their religion and despite being regulars at Mass chose to support Rangers buying season tickets. The real shame there is that they missed out on the best team Dundee FC ever had by going to Ibrox back in the early 60s. One final point is that my dad, now settled in Edinburgh, chose to take me to Tynecastle back in February 1970. Been a Jambo ever since and delighted he chose not to take me through there. ?

Worthing Jambo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Easy solution, just start winning games on a regular basis and the kids will follow the team. Seems to be working in Ayrshire. Anyone remember when Motherwell were challenging and loads of folk at school all of a sudden became Motherwell fans!! The ones that get my goat are the plastic EPL fans. Came up to Edinburgh once and went to the pub to watch Celtic v Hearts. I was gobsmacked by the slagging, by a group of fan boys (Man u, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, usual crap) of Scottish football. i expect that down here but not 6 miles from Gorgie! ps: my brother in law became a BIG Liverpool fan in 2012 and said he had no interest in Scottish football.

We need a niche market. We should go full Scottish ******. St Andrews cross every where, full Independence go for that market. Full political ******, pure Scottish. **** anyone else who disagrees. Folk with English accents should all get English tea chucked at them, Irish folk to get pelted with haggis's, live ones. Full standing kilt section. Beards and pants optional. Build a niche and culture for ourselves, keep it, no matter what. Get a huge world wide following, 50k staduim. Franchise shops in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, Newcastle, New York and China.
