Hickey didn’t travel

There is a RCFC TV channel that does broadcast through YouTube but I suspect not tonight.  Hearts TV Audio it is.

I hope that includes the stand behind the goal as I noticed they sometimes only open a small section at the corner flag which seems bolted onto the stand opposite the main stand. I don't think that will apply tonight though!

I am sure we will have a great support, once again united and right behind Stendel and the team. If I had the time I would love to be there but hope everyone going enjoys the game and hopefully the three points.

I’ve been to every Dingwall away game (it’s only 15minutes for me).  I can’t recall the full away end not being allocated to us.

Initial allocation was only 600. Announcing it as a 'sell out' made it sound like there would only be a handful available on the night, when there's actually well over a thousand.

I read that as hearts had sold out their allocation which was just the 600 sent to them by RC.  The remaining tickets are available for a cash sale tonight, which by my experience, is a fair few jambo walk ups who are a bit more local or heading up from non Edinburgh digs......I don’t have a ticket but confident I will in a wee while......the portakabin selling away end tickets is usually quite busy.  The risk for RC if they send down all the away end tickets is we don’t sell out and walk up fans don’t get in..........I know it’s a bit strange as people can buy tickets and have them posted out no matter where they stay or, hearts can return non sold tickets to be sold on the night but, I think it’s just the way RC do business (strange bunch these highlanders), there will be more than the 600 fans tonight.

My wife would burst me. 

Football and a night away in a hotel with yours Truely as a "treat". 

[Jambo 4 Ever]

I will go for us to win 2-1

When did we last win 2 games in a row again?

[Bazzas right boot]

A win would bring them Inti it, I think if they win it becomes more of a 3 way fight. 

 

Important to start winning but it's not a must win. 

 

I'm 50/50 on today and Sunday tbh. 

No result would Suprise me.

Cheers. It will be great to see that whole stand full. Enjoy the game, I hope you still have some finger nails left at the end. 😉

Hopefully a win but dont see a lot of goals

Take a draw. I feel people are getting ahead of themselves and it will be meltdown if we lose.

It’s a hard place to go. A draw wouldn’t be a disaster considering likely outcomes of other fixtures but I think if we play our best we’ll win.

So not even open all mics just the mhanks game with updates from the rest 🤣 pathetic

Most definitely, it’s been a complete mixed bag of inconsistency so far under Stendel at this point though.  Tonight is huge, I hope we don’t feel we just need to turn up because they will make it a complete battle.

Even though it’s on TV?  That’s ridiculous.  It’s a full card ffs.  When’s the highlights on? I might just avoid the game completely and wait for HeartsTv - it’s that bad.

Inconsistent is unfair. I feel it's more a very gradual improvement on the pitch, whilst emptying those he knows aren't suitable and trying, (and succeeding) in bringing in younger players with the energy required to prosecute his style.We are coming off the back of a win, albeit Airdrie, which hopefully creates momentum. We shall see...

Washed my sheets today so hope that’s an omen. 👍

[Bazzas right boot]

Spoiler

 

Not having Smith, Hickey and even Clare isn't great. Brandon out too. 

 

We do like a flurry of Injuries on one position, none of this spreading them out nonesense. 

 

However, I'm Confident of scoring with the the return of Naismith, Washington and our new signing, along with Meshino and Walker. 

 

Even Halkett is a threat. 

 

Far better options than 2 months ago.

I hasten to ask what happened last night...

[Getintaethem]

Some people would take a draw tonight, but I feel we need the three points.  There’s a feel good factor building around the club just now and it’s important we keep that going.  A point or less tonight, and a defeat to Rangers on Sunday, and we could find ourselves even further adrift with only 15 games left.  That scenario would see the player’s confidence crash again and Stendel would already be under real pressure.

 

  We need three points tonight, it’s a huge game for us.
