Kiwidoug Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Looks like not too many are taking up the ST option. Not surprising at such uncertain times. I would love to know what our financial projections are over the next 3 months. There will be circa £400,000 from FoH but what other income could be coming in and how much cash would we have had in the bank when the crisis hit? I am massively relieved we didn't opt for wage deferment. I suspect some of the clubs who did will be reneging if we see no football for another 6 months and no sourcing of income. Just have to wait and see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jodami Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Jesus H, this thread is utterly humming. Do they have a rota for signing up a different clown every day? In saying that it's either the same simpleton with multiple sign ins or they are just a benchmark of how stupid they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine there is some charge or drip-feed to mitigate defaults. I worked in Financial services for around 40 years so know a bit about the mechanics of loans, bank accounts, insurance, investments, mortgages and pensions but never worked on credit cards. 😄 I dont know the name of the company hibs are using but the funds are paid in full up front to the club so good business from them .

Just have to wait and see. would be good for AB to release the figure for sales to date however clever to keep quite if there not great. Im not convinced we have much in the bank to handle this , we are as far as i can see the only club who have cut players wages. Bare in mind as AB said other clubs players wages are much lower as a base wage so deferment is not the big noose round the neck we think it is. Our wage structure model is killing us and that is down to CL and AB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alas probably more complicated in that we don't know what's happening yet re this season, closed doors or not and what league we'll be playing in next season. If however AB came out tomorrow and assured us that all our home games were to be made available on Hearts TV (until normal resumption) to ST holders I would buy asap thereafter.

I would do this too but we would be dependent on the skilled negotiators of the SPFL agreeing this with Sky TV. Given the chaos they've created so far how likely is a sensible conclusion?

Smith's right boot Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 If there is no football until2021, then finishing the season and scraping / shortening next is surely back on the cards as no way a full season can be completed in that time. Interesting, if true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HMFC86 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) I haven’t renewed yet. Mostly as I think it’s a very real possibility that we won’t get to go to the football until well into 2021. It’s a lot of money to shell out. I honestly don’t think clubs should be selling season tickets at the moment. I understand the need for income but at the moment it’s a punt. No fans until season after next and we won’t have to worry about relegation or reconstruction, but rather if there are enough clubs left the make a league. Id like to see Hearts & football as a whole be open on this. Selling a product they have no clue when it’ll be there or if it all imo is wrong. Perhaps a membership or renewal fee in the interim which could then be deducted from The cost of any season ticket when more is known, that way people are atleast giving in the knowledge they may not get anything in return. Apologies for the negativity! Edited May 1, 2020 by HMFC86 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
