Maybe not but it could be that they keep away because of the way the team plays. Watching Hearts get beat or toil against Ross County, Motherwell, Hamilton ect turns most fans stomach.

Deans Jambo Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Felt pointless turning up last Sunday to play Rangers, pleasant surprise we got a draw. Felt pointless going to the cup final last season, pleasantly surprised by the performance and our moment when we took the lead. Felt pointless going to the 2012 semi final v Celtic and it became one of my favourite ever games. Sometimes you just need to take a chance and see what happens! Levein ain't leaving soon, we've done well in the cups (on paper ha) and on our day.....well you just never know.

For the first time im taking the car to a game at hampden, I believe there’s a parking zone in operation in many streets close to the stadium. Any tips on best place to park within reasonable walking distance? (I accept you could be talking 20-30 mins which is fine). Cheers. Past few times I've been to Hampden I've parked somewhere around Woodgreen Avenue. or in the streets just south. If you look at that map I think the parking zone is inside the railway line. Given the end we're in just head down Aitkenhead Road. Probably 10-15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need these fans, we need the kids coming along if we want to survive. Like it or not, Levein IS driving "true fans" "phm" whatever you want to label them, away. I'll be there, but it is disappointing the amount of fans who have reached breaking point under Levein. I'm one of those gambo just can't be arsed going just now followed the team for years but absolutely no enjoyment watching the team or the matchday atmosphere at tynie.

kila Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Briefs sorted, hopefully don't have regrets after tomorrow! I think Hearts have a good chance. Rangers will have on eye on the Porto game the following Thursday, albeit craving their first major domestic trophy, and the Hearts players seem to only get themselves up for the bigger games. Disappointing sales, but an early goal will help silence their majority. Out into them from the get-go, like at Tynecastle last week.

This applies to football as in any walk of life. Outwith our glory years of the fifties and early sixties we have been crap on the playing front about 80% of the time.

Of course we want more silverware but 9, top 3 finishes or 11, top 4 in 21 seasons. Maybe constitutes crap to some but I always felt it was generally good following Hearts for a good, long spell from 86 onwards. Many great European memories, some fine teams.

Even some decent teams enjoyable to watch but maybe fell short on expected league placings. I was talking about from 1965 when we lost the league on the last day to Killie. A steady decline including a 0-7 defeat to Hibs on NY day 1973 to relegation in 1977 and yo yoing between the leagues until 1983. Then pretty good 86 till 92 then 97till 99 then 2006 then poor although a very enjoyable cup win in 2012. I can count at least two serious threats to the existence of the club and a threat to our stadium and the possibility of a permanent move to Murrayfield. That's an awful lot of mediocrity.
