Shanks Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I wouldn’t even consider giving any other club a penny after everything that’s happened. I couldn't bring myself to hand over cash to a club like raith rovers now. Its easy for me to do as I’ve got plenty of other things to do in my life rather than pay money to these clubs, unfortunately it’s not as easy for other fans. Hopefully the government keeps fans away from stadiums for as long as possible anyway, would love to see clubs die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only club whose books I looked at (Raith) conformed this with the guy that owns the club (an expat 70 year old accountant living in Bangkok) bailing them out several times in the last published financial year report (18/19). If the thought that the act of Hearts fans staying away from the likes of East End and Starks Park forces their numbskull directors to personally empty their bank accounts doesn’t persuade you it’s worth boycotting then I don’t know what will. Val McDiarmid chips in a few bob every now and again to depending on the book sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee, would be, bullies running to the big bully to clipe about somebody who has done them no harm, just so they can feel important. I was really looking forward to travelling around the country, following Hearts again, after retiring from a job that prevented me doing what I’d done before, from a boy to about 50 years old. This spiteful damage to my club, by these minions, has burst any thought of me doing it. Only Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see one huge problem on the horizon and that’s those very same clubs getting together to pronounce they are unable to start the league and want it put back until January, the SPFL allowed them to decide to change the amount of games and I can see 4 or 5 of them trying the same tactic again and there seems to be nothing we can do as others in the top league will see a chance to cancel relegation, We have absolutely no friends on the board and as with the training fiasco no one really cares enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with your concerns but I genuinely don't think the spfl cares. It is just an anomaly that one of Scottish bigger clubs have ended up in the championship during an unprecedented pandemic. The spfl survival is based on dividing fans against each other. We are the current hated club so that has meant other clubs have forgotten about the inadequacy of the spfl and focused on directing their hate towards us.

Ex member of the SaS Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Lets be clear this is just the start. The SPFL will ensure every dodgy decision will go against us, goals will be chalked off for offside when we are clearly on, penalties given for walking into the box etc. Any Hearts fan that can't see we are and will continue to be shafted needs to go to spec savers. IF ever there was a time for a boycott and even refusing to play the SC game it's now. EVERY Hearts fans MUST stand up to these cretins. We will be lucky if a ball is kicked in the Championship this season and due to our initials we won't be promoted. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, but in this case the best isn't very good. So gird your loins and get set for a long hard battle.

Instead of them, and SPFL gangsters, spending most their time thinking of ways to stop Hearts escaping a demotion, which most of them describe as unfair, whether to take the piss or have an attack of honesty, they should have been working to make sure every club, and player, knew what their responsibilities were, and how best to generate income from fans whilst no spectators are allowed to attend. Instead, they are making panic decisions, on the hoof, with little regard to the overall game in Scotland. There has been no obvious planning to set in place easy access for online viewing, for anyone who wants to pay for it.

The clubs and players seem oblivious to their responsibilities, not to give the SG any reason to doubt the possibility of spectators returning to a well organised regime.

portobellojambo1 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Thread has been going for a while, and I think I posted thoughts on it early on, which were personal thoughts at that stage. But yesterday we eventually managed to get our AGM done for this year, a couple of months after the normal date. Thoughts on travelling formed part of the discussion, and we were initially going with the thought of taking buses to all away games, and letting members decide for themselves which grounds they wanted to go into, with the remainder just staying in the pub. We left it at that but said we'd let all member know. One or two things came up, including potential cost for the club, including when we would eventually be allowed to go back to games and if on board bus distancing could potentially mean having to book two buses, depending on the numbers travelling. Following the conclusion of the AGM we stayed for the rest of the afternoon in the Gorgie Suite, and had a further chat, revolving around negotiating a contract for a new bus provider for this coming season, and spoke with the manager of the hospitality side of HMFC's business. We then took the decision that we will not be running any buses at all for this coming season, including games at Hampden. The one exception we may make is Inverness, in that we will be going to Inverness, either by bus or train. As a club we will take up a number of tables in one of the Gorgie suites and meet together to watch all the away games. As an afternoon I'd like to thank HMFC, the facilities and service in the Gorgie Suite yesterday were excellent, the suite was very busy, with plenty of distancing and they must have made a few bob. In addition to what the PHSC members spent on drink yesterday we also made a donation of £556 to HMFC, representing the two cheques we previously gave them for tickets for the two cancelled games towards the end of last season at Aberdeen and Livingston.

Thoughts on travelling formed part of the discussion, and we were initially going with the thought of taking buses to all away games, and letting members decide for themselves which grounds they wanted to go into, with the remainder just staying in the pub. We left it at that but said we'd let all member know. One or two things came up, including potential cost for the club, including when we would eventually be allowed to go back to games and if on board bus distancing could potentially mean having to book two buses, depending on the numbers travelling. Following the conclusion of the AGM we stayed for the rest of the afternoon in the Gorgie Suite, and had a further chat, revolving around negotiating a contract for a new bus provider for this coming season, and spoke with the manager of the hospitality side of HMFC's business.

Just how are you planning to meet together and watch away games. Genuine question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question Something will be coming out in the not too distant future detailing the clubs intentions with regards to away games and allowing fans to watch these games on screens within Tynecastle. They are fairly confident that all away games will be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
