Randy Marsh Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Just now, Morph said: In terms of watching the football it’s fantastic. Concourse is the same as any other stadium around the country and imo the hospitality is just so basic looking, certainly nothing unique about it. If we had some phenomenal facilities that justified the over spend then fine, but hard to see where it’s been spent. This is our premier hospitality package ffs. Look at it, what’s premium or upmarket about that? That looks absolutely pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best bit of today was applauding the players who came over at the end to applaud us. More loyalty and less bs needed, imo That really says it all that the best part of a day watching Hearts playing was applauding them off after a 0-0 draw against 10 men. What a cracking day that sounds. Not cheering goal play or a goal but applause after a bore draw. I’m officially depressed at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch41 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 A new main stand that we can't fill. 2 to 3 rows in section S that are never filled / sold for some strange reason. We used to give Celtic & Rangers 1,200 or there about seats. We're now happy to give them the whole of the Roseburn Stand. A management that is useless and players who are dropping like flies with injuries. There are other things that should be improved like explaining why a season ticket holder does not get a match fee deducted if the go to hospitality. It's like you have to pay twice. Yes Ann Budge has a lot to answer at the shareholders meeting but all you'll get is a 75 year old getting the mic and asking a question that is more to do with him than Hearts.

amadjambo Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 This is all a real shame. Budge has done some wonderful things for us. But the more time she gives Levein the more her reputation is being destroyed. This season is a write off. The only thing that stops it being a total write off is the outside chance we have in both cups. Alarmingly things have gotten so bad that the fans aren’t even getting angry anymore. There’s an acceptance that we are crap and that it won’t change. More and more empty seats at Tynecastle in the coming months, and a dwindling away support. And once fans get out of the habit of going to the games they might not come back. But Budge clearly doesnt understand the mentality of a football fan.

OTT Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Her loyalty to Levein has tarnished her legacy. Yes financially, we're on good footing going forward. Now on that basis its time for her to step back and let someone else make the call on Levein so we can get the FOOTBALL CLUB back on track. If Levein steps down the same time as Ann, IMO thats ****ing cowardly. If then, why not now? He can't turn this around. Injuries or not. He's failed.
