tynietigers Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It’s Celtic and midweek also I don’t think a lot of families will want to pay top dollar to sit beside those rodents 🤔 you will sell out everywhere else but I still think there will be over 500 left ☹️ But you never know.

Absolutely No Chance Celtic and Rangers won’t get anymore next season than they are now, in fact there is more chance they will get less There allocations have been cut because the Hearts fans (who own the club) demanded it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A midweek game and a toxic atmosphere will put a lot of families off for this one plus, for a lot of people, this game is just before pay day in January.

Even if we only sell 1,000 in the Roseburn then that’s Hearts fans in attendance that wouldn’t have had the opportunity to be there.

8skacel8 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I see the excuse of people not wanting to go because its Celtic is being used again by some.

boag1874 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Midweek in January against a horrible club with a notoriously toxic fanbase, hard one to sell out. Imagine we’ll shift a few, there will be walk ups on the day etc, even if theres not a single Jambo sat in the roseburn I’d still cut their allocation right down though, feck them, the loss of revenue would be negligible regardless, we don’t exist to give their neddy supporters a jolly & a day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having less of their peasant fans in the ground means a better chance of us getting a result also. Cutting the Old Firm's allocation is a long term strategy. We might not sell out this time but hopefully will do from next season onwards. It also puts down a marker that Hearts dont need to rely on their minging fans to fill the stadium.

Kiwidoug Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Is it srill the practice in the UK that pubic servants and possibly others are paid monthly?

We will get to within a few hundred of a sell out on a midweek game in January, where we also have 3 home games in 10 days, and you are calling it a bit Hibs?? Bizarre.

We want to eradicate the sectarian nonsense from both our support but also to stop the bile and horrendous behaviour of visiting OF fans . A stand needs to be made and by doing this it is a start , a small step but one that needs to continue .

Dalry Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hopefully we get more uptake these next few days, if this was a Hibs game it would sell out no problem if their allocation was reduced so I don't buy the "few days before pay day etc." It is frustrating that we're playing so well, great squad, third in the league and we can't sell out for a massive game against Celtic who we can get close to if we win this especially given their injuries etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kettering jam tart Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Looking at the sales anyway, the roseburn tickets sold vs what’s available in our other 3 stands shows it was the right decision to do this. Had we not done this yes the game would be a complete sell out but, there would already be 3/400 hearts supporters missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 The club have made a statement of intent. Cutting the OF allocation has been widely supported for years and now it's happening. So what if there are some spaces in the Roseburn. As this goes on, hopefully it will become the norm. Hope the mhanks are livid. Get it up them !

jamboinglasgow Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I see the press are determined to attack us if we dont sell out tomorrow. There is an entitlement that the Old Firm have that they expect they should be given as many tickets as possible, the press side with them. But we decide to limit the tickets for the old firm then its up to us. I could understand if the old firm gave us the same amount of tickets or percentage of tickets when we go to Ibrox or Celtic Park, however they give us a tiny amount then act angry we dont give them a whole stand. This article from the Sun is an example https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/8330881/hearts-1000-unsold-tickets-celtic-slashing-away-fans/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=ScottishSunSportTwitter&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1643108011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) If there's any complaints, tell them that the vast majority of our supporters are from Edinburgh and the Lothians, whereas they fill their stands from all over Scotland and Ireland, many of the sectarian bigots , drawing revenue and support from local clubs.
