When we had the concert last year...was there a stadium ban on alcohol consumption then (in view of the playing surface is some sort of wording that sticks in my mind)? Sure these musical folk like a dram or two as much as the football fans. [Edit - another thought!] - giving the non-first team players the chance to play in front of an always-appreciative Tynecastle crowd would surely do nothing but boost their confidence and make them much better players...wouldn't it? Does the alcohol ban apply to all events? Just football? Just first team football? Wondering if we could have a pint in our seat while watching the youngsters/women? Let it not be forgotten, too, that the reason the alcohol ban was brought in in the first place was due to an on-pitch riot after an Old Firm cup final. But aren't they such a positive force for Scottish football...? Edited June 3, 2020 by Boof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he tells us that Hearts fans should flock to his club's ground (thereby handing over the tens of thousands of pounds that his club needs to survive ) and not stay 'in the huff'. When he puts it like that it's rather difficult to make a decision. Stay in the huff over being unlawfully thrown out of a league his club will never compete in, OR , let bygones be bygones and spend money attending a football match on the other side of the country in a dilapidated sh@'te-house of a 'stadium' in the worst west-coast pile of pre-war, seaside-town-they-forgot-to-pull-down, Armageddon. chicken-shack, f@ckwittery town in Britain.

Come together as fans and grow bigger and stronger. Take 5000 away fans to every game. Fill Tynecastle for every home game. Blow all these wee teams away and make them wish that they had a club like ours. Sing our hearts out in support of our great club each week and remind them all that we sometimes go down but we always come back up! To boycott and protest makes the statement we feel aggrieved at the situation but ultimately our team suffers also. It’s time to take on the siege mentality and strengthen the forces in a time of adversity! Mon the Hearts! Nah. They will continue see us as mugs and ring the tills.

The panel will have the information they require to make a decision and will weigh up the facts based on this information. All the Calpol 3 QC will do is waste everybody’s time.
