davemclaren Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Following discussions on here, and our discussions with them, FoH have set up an initiative to allow supporters to donate an amount in lieu of a cup final ticket in support of the club, should you so wish. Details can be found here. please note DO NOT KEY IN A DECIMAL POINT OR PLACES!!!! https://www.foundationofhearts.org/cup-final-donations/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey1874 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Just the normal one off donation option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tartofmidlothian Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Great idea! I wonder if they might be able to do it for every match as long as gates are closed going forward? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingantti1874 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 100% behind this, things aren’t brilliant on the park at the moment but this is money our club have earned. In normal circumstances a cup final would be worth somewhere in the region of a million.. maybe if we could raise £200k then it would allow us to bring in a couple of players to which could go some way to securing promotion.

Pilmuir Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Good to see this coming to fruition and sure it will be well-supported. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davemclaren Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hearts would have normally made over £500k from tickets for this ( using the 2019 prices of adults £30/£20 and concessions £25/£15 ) so lack of crowds has a big financial impact on the the club for this match.

iwasthere1954 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Just got the email from FOH and sent my donation. As discussed on KB I donated the value of my ticket. This money is so important to the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Win,win. Well done to all those who have made this possible. Maybe a bit more publicity for this outwith FoH and JKB might be worthwhile to ensure maximum numbers are aware of this great initiative for those fans that will want to be part of this but are not either pledgers or on JKB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I take it it’ll be getting tracked via the amount donated I.e.£30 for the ticket? I can’t see anything on the drop down that specifically says match ticket or the like, which may sound petty, but would have been nice as it would have felt a bit better that way.

1971fozzy Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Nice one. Not sure how it can be tracked separately though (I donated the Alloa money and intend to do likewise for Morton, so the cup final one will just go in the mix. No matter it’s a great idea.

We need to get this message out into the wider world. Maybe someone with influence with the EEN for example could have an article on this. They are as we all know very pro Hearts.
