Randy Marsh Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 1 minute ago, jr ewing said: Okay back to topic. Who's cancelling next? I haven't yet. I actually cancelled around the time Levein appointed himself as manager and lied to the supporters. It was around this time I was trying to get my mortgage so it wasn't the sole reason for cancelling. I started up again when Levein was fully removed from the club and I had no intention of cancelling ever again. I will keep it going for now and hope Neilson is gone by May/June.

Don't agree mate, The football has been rubbish under RN, and if he remains who is going to rush back to tynecastle to watch that crap? only the most die hard of die hards imo.

iainmac Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 3 hours ago, Sid said: Be very clear. It was her cheque and her cheque alone which saved the club. From there a lot of us have contributed to attempt to rebuild the club. Two different things and the point I was making, that first point should give her respect and not be subjected to personal abuse. The rebuilding the club has had its problems, some of it down to her decisions but I don’t think that merits personal abuse. It wasn't actually. AB only agreed to write the cheque when FoH had gathered 6000 pledgers. This was before the GoCardless system was in operation but she could see that there were enough fans prepared to put their own money in to pay her back. Only then did she agree to stump up the £2.5M, so it was, in effect, a joint operation. I agree about the personal abuse - no need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budge has made mistakes like all our owners but she's the only owner in my lifetime (Mercer, Robinson, Romanov, Budge) who I honestly believe has the best interests of the club at heart. Mind you as a genuine fan of the club that has probably clouded some of her decisions. I'm sure if any of us got to the position of owning the club we supported that would happen to us too.

GinRummy Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 People arguing that we should support through good and bad times are completely missing the point. Of course we should but the difference between other bad times and now is there is absolutely no need for it to be a bad time. We have funding that almost all other clubs outside the OF could only dream about but the money we are putting in is being wasted. The fans are being ignored.

Ownership is a meaningless title now - FOH has no control (I'm not saying it should) and apparently little say, even though it is the major investor in the business.

tamanov Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I won't be cancelling mine today, tomorrow or any time. I don't contribute because I expect us to win every game or even play well every week. I don't contribute because I expect us to win anything. I don't contribute because I expect us to sign top quality players. I don't contribute because I expect to have a say in how the club is run. I contribute because I will never forget the feeling of standing in a queue at Tynecastle, waiting to hand over cash that I could ill afford to part with at the time, because the team I have loved since I was a boy was very, very close to going out of business, because of how it had been run. I will also be buying my season ticket the day they go on sale so that I continue to support the club that has given me some of the best days of my life. I am not a Budge supporter. I am not a Neilson supporter but I bear them no ill will either. They will leave the club in time as everyone does. I am a Hearts supporter, through the good times and more importantly the bad times. If you choose to cancel your contribution, or not buy a season ticket then that is your right, I have no issue with that because that is your choice and we must all choose to do what we believe is right. Results have been disappointing as have performances but with no fans in the grounds this whole season has been very, very flat, not just for us but for the vast majority of fans. The treatment we received with being demoted was as low a point as a football fan that I can ever remember, which ensured this entire season would be a negative experience. Beating Hibs was a rare high and coming so close to winning the Scottish Cup was a double edged sword. Pride in the display but bitter, bitter disappointment at the way it ended. We have endured a lot. I wont celebrate winning the Championship, this is the season that never was for me. Don't have a go at me for not joining the baying mob, I am keeping things in perspective. As we ease our way out of this pandemic, I have great hope for the future and I'm just thankful that me, my family and friends are all here to see it.

That is your choice as it will be many others. The frustration is the millions of FOH money wasted on expensive flops and the unwillingness of HMFC Board to take quick action when things are clearly going badly wrong. Levein and now Neilson. The only pressure we can bring to bear is send a message of protest by cancelling the FOH DD’s. I think I speak for most in saying that they will be immediately re-instated when the Board get round to replacing the current Management Team. Enough is enough.
