Difficult to say until we know how many games and what the stadioum capacity i going to be and work out from there. Loyalty points could work, but you would need to take off away fixtures LPs, imo. This is all about home access and income provided to Hearts. There will be no access to Tynecastle until this crisis is over and there is a vaccine. Social distancing will not work at a football stadium. It is far too risky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When that money goes they’ll realise they’ve bought season tickets to watch a side that potentially may not exist anymore. Am not paying out £400 on a season book when I am currently furloughed and work in a sector (retail) that may never open in the same capacity again. At the end of this month I am going to have to apply for a mortgage holiday in the hope that at the end of those three months I am back working or I am looking at selling my house. Football, seasons tickets all take a back seat when it comes to protecting my family. Simple. Totally understand your situation and hopefully everything works out for you. Family always comes first.

Good on you for paying up, Detty. I haven't yet, but I reckon I will because the stadium will not open until it's safe, whenever that may be. I wonder if Hearts will eventually market and sell face masks. Could be a decent earner in time, but only when all key workers have all that they need.

I wouldn't go because of the age factor but if I was under 60 I certainly would. Until there is a foolproof vaccine, my wife and I and thousands like us will avoid crowded places like the plague.

Getting up early on Sunday morning to watch GSS and hearing that Hearts are 2-0 up at half time. The good old days. They will be back. Final score by the way, 4-0. Oponents - Hibernian.
