It will be a choice by July, to take the chance or not to, she can't restrain trade any longer In Brazil, upwards of 4000 deaths a day. And people are having to be intubated awake and be tied to the bed to stop them struggling because they’ve ran out of drugs to put people to sleep. I ’m no sturgeon fan, and I absolutely hope we can safely get back to the footy. But this isn’t about restraining trade no matter what the loonies on Facebook think and no - it won’t and shouldnt be individual choice.

luckydug Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 2 hours ago, Hashimoto said: Yes, agreed. I love the club as much as the next man. Even when I lived abroad for a short period Hearts, especially on Saturday's was always a must...and it was a panic to get an update on the score and result! But I'm not sure everyone shares our sentiment! I can remember good Hearts fans talking about never going back to Tynecastle after the deplorable way in which the board at that time treated King Willie Bauld!....Even the great man himself refused to go over the door for many years, and it wasn't until near the end that he returned. People stopped going to games after the way that Tommy Walker was treated. I appreciate that it was decades ago. But the sentiment and risks are the same! Ann Budge is playing a dangerous game if she is using our emotional attachment to the club as a stick for her to continue her mismanagement. Every supporter has a breaking point, bearing in mind that football is not a cheap form of entertainment anymore. I've pointed out before that I would be one of the first at the front of the queue to renew my ST...But I honestly can't find the enthusiasm for it just now....And I've never said that before. No one, especially me is holding a gun at Ann Budge's head! but she needs to see the collateral damage she is causing by keeping a divisive character at the club. The solution to all this is firmly in Ann Budge's hands! Neilson Out Good post in response to mine. I am old enough to remember these points you make. The Testimonial for King Wullie was handled disgracefully, nowadays JKB would have been all for lynching the board of directors. The same level of seethe would have happened over Tommy Walker. These events just reinforced a sense of apathy that older fans had started to feel as our great teams from the 50s and early 60s broke up. I suppose they had been fortunate enough to see great teams and took it hard having to watch the club decline. There is definitely a lesson from the past though about taking the support for granted.

martoon Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Not renewing until Neilson has gone.

Girfuy. Those three combined have ruined the club I love and I'm not prepared to back them financially any further. Doesn't make me/us any less a Hearts supporter.

Don't think Brazil is a very good example considering their recklessness from day 1.
