JimmyCant Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 24 minutes ago, jamboinglasgow said: 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 No exploration of the bigger picture in that article which is no surprise really. There are numerous reasons we are trying this and numerous reasons why we haven’t YET sold it out. WE DONT NEED THEIR FANS IN OUR STADIUM. WE ARE ALMOST UNIQUE IN THAT. Is that not the better more interesting story here. Nut, it seems preventing the BFITW seeing the game is the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand firm Hearts and feck them. Even if you do the maths. We have 1000 tickets left with more than a day to go for late sales and walk ups for our own fans. We’ll sell at least half of those to our own fans and probably more. The strategy is entirely justified AND successful AND it’s what we as an independent fan owned club and customer base want to have happen. Selling to loyal customers of your own or selling to twice a season vile heathens who invariably damage the stadium when they visit. It’s a no brainer and it’s here to stay hopefully. Id like to see us sell ST’s for that part of the Roseburn next season. We can still give Hibs the full stand and move our own ST holders to other parts of the ground for home derbies. It’s not difficult as long as you leave enough seats for them elsewhere Edited January 25, 2022 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Findlay Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 For any Sun or main stream media journalist looking in. Here is some simple arithmetic for you. The article claims normal allocation is 3,500. The allocation this time round was 1 200 a difference of 2,300. Of that 2,300 there are 1,000 unsold. So correct me if I am wrong here. That means to date an extra 1,300 Hesrts supporters have got a ticket, for a game they wouldn't have if Celtic had been given 3,500 tickets. We still have over twenty fours hours to sell these 1,000 tickets. So forgive me if I fail to see the point of this article, apart from trying to put the boot into a club who have done the right thing for their own support. Well done Heart of Midlothian, long may it continue where the gruesome twosome are concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the club will take a number of factors into account when making future decisions. But I'd hope you may agree that from a business point of view the club also have to consider situations which they know are factual and not run the business based on ifs, but and maybes. And the main fact they do know is that for home games against both halves of the OF we were able to give them the full Roseburn, i.e. generate money we can count on for future reinvestment. I'd love to see the club being in a position where, going forward, we can basically dictate to the OF how many tickets they can have, but in terms of doing that we need to be in a position where that becomes a guarantee due to what we are achieving and the desire to turn up and watch comes from a reaction from Hearts fans. The more money we are making the better team we can construct to compete regularly at the top level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
