Holyrood_Hearts Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Apologies I’ve not read through the whole thread so if I’m repeating this that’s been previously mentioned I’m sorry. If we’re relegated by the league, personally speaking I’ll buy a ST for Tynecastle & will happy go to or donate money to Inverness. Every other team in the league who voted yes to this corrupt vote can go **** themselves. The club officially can’t go on record with this but as a fanbase we have an obligation to boycott all away grounds next season if relegated by default. I’d suggest instead of fans going to away matches (& this has to be widespread throughout the fanbase) that ticket gate money is kept & there’s a fund put in place next season where fans use this money to instead help fill Tynecastle instead with home support (as we won’t have a Rangers/Hibs in that league?)

I won’t bother now. I’m not fussed about playing in the championship but if we take this fiasco lying down Hearts will lose two season tickets. 5 of us the same, had enough of the Glasgow mafia, Also Ann and Craig set up too, huge change needed to convince me to part with cash, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris5115 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Interesting times ahead re season ticket sales. If Budge manages to secure reconstruction and I highly doubt it then sales will hold up. If no reconstruction and we are relegated without taking legal action then sales will nose dive. I will sit tight with my 4 season tickets and see how this pans out. I take no pleasure in taking this stance but this pandemic aside Budge has failed big time over the last couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last week has been very stressful as I’ve been trying to explain the crazy events as they’ve been unfolding I fully appreciate there are massively more stressful events happening right now but in a way this has been a bit of a diversion not that young kids understand the magnitude of matters just now. We (me and two boys) will renew our season tickets as I fear not doing so will possibly show the wrong message and more importantly it will rob me of cherished time spent with my boys as before I know it they will want to do there own thing. We took out our season tickets during the last Championship season so fingers crossed. Good shout....... we sometimes go down buy we aye come back up. Remember defeat and disappointment are lessons where we learn things about ourselves and how we deal with that. Imagine being ceptic and winning 99% of your football (not in Europe of course)..... where is the fun in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I presume STs aren't flying out the door and personally I don't think they should even be on sale. Football may not start till January and possibly not even then. Absolutely nobody knows. There is also a prospect of games being played behind closed doors. If Hearts reach dire straights financially I would much prefer they reach out to us for one-off donations to tide us over. We have a great track record in that regard.

Tott Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Personally cant see football being normal next season. No way it will start in august ,unless behind closed doors. As for a season ticket,for the first time in over 30 years,ive seen my stable job ,wtf could ever happen to our industry ,go tits up 😞 ******* Love Hearts,but family and roof over our heads come first. Never missed a beat to FOH contributions since day one,would stick paying monthly subs(if i can),but season ticket is a step too far.Know the club need the money,but think its wrong the club is doing the guilt trip payment at this moment in time. Specially when they dont have the backbone to fight for what the league there going to be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Seems bizarre selling season tickets now when we dont know when the season will start, what that will look like (behind closed doors for instance), how many games there will be, and more importantly, what league we'll be in.

We could have some games behind closed doors and how many fans will be older, or have underlying health issues? Until there is a vaccine, they may have to write off 2020/21 for their own health.

sandyk Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I don't normally buy a ST as I live a fair bit away. I usually travel up once or twice a month and mix this between home and away matches. I will buy one for next season and go purely to home matches.

The SPFL prize money will be getting paid out soon. I would imagine we have working capital to tide us over for another month or two until we see how things pan out. FOH money. Go into overdraft for a month or two. Anything is better than releasing season tickets now! No real thought for the fans.

Kiwidoug Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Read on EEN that FoH is handing over a larger cheque that £120,000 for the month of March because subscriptions have increased. That is just superb. Some interlopers on here won't be best pleased but you can't please everyone. In the midst of a global pandemic where so many are out of work and struggling for money, our subscriptions have gone up. More than likely that by the end of June, that total will be well in excess of £500,000. Wonder what our eastern friends and the Glasgow media think of that? Seething in most cases I would think. Well done to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluorescent Adolescent Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The way I see it is the club have asked us to purchase season tickets because they need our help. We all know the prospect of watching football inside Tynecastle (in any division), anytime soon is remote but they’ve asked for our help and I chose to buy them. Posts on here stating that it’s ‘absolutely bonkers’ to buy season tickets and in turn deny the club money in their hour of need aren’t helpful, imo.

leith_dude Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I bought mine last week as I had the money saved up ready for it and wanted to support the club in these trying times. Although it seems like it may be quite a while before we are back watching football again, I trust that I will be treated reasonably fairly by Hearts. Whether that is credit for future season ticket purchases or whatever they will do their best not to alienate supporters who have stumped up in these circumstances.

Thousands of Hearts fans are in a potentially disastrous financial position. I’ve been furloughed and I’m in a sector that will be last to come back to normal, if it ever does. The furlough system, as welcome as it is, isn’t going to save all companies from going bust so there is a chance I’ll not have a job to go back to. I’ve also lost a small side business that took years to build up so that income has gone possibly forever and definitely for the next year There is no danger I can justify a ST for a season that might never happen And certainly no time soon and no chance I can up my FOH, in fact it’s probably going to have to go soon. But of rambling way of saying that the safety net of fans bailing the club out as we have in the past simply won’t be there to the extent that might be required if we’re going to have to go 6 months further with no income Edited April 20, 2020 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
