Surely just sheer volume of games even though Hearts have got the pricing spot on for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Mallin_51 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I’m not going tomorrow for the simple reason I’m backshift and would need to take a half day to go. I’d rather use holidays for the European games and the midweek league games like Rangers at the start of February. If I was dayshift I would probably have been there, simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly question imo. Some people are skint and are prioritising European games over a LC tie. Even Old Firm lose a high percentage of their attendances for LC games for the same reason as us.

AlphonseCapone Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm going tomorrow (weirdly looking forward to it) but it hasn't been cheap supporting Hearts the last couple of months. That would be true in normal times, never mind just now when so many are struggling in general at the cost of living. If you're making any comment on folk not going tomorrow then you're an utter balloon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We_are_the_Hearts Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 We will be going but can understand why folk wouldn’t. Being in my 40s I still prefer cup games to League games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would have went had it been a weekend. Hard to justify another midweek game after the European one last week when I go every 2nd week for home games. The Zurich, St Johnstone and Killie games have been quite close together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it is mostly down to simple finances for a lot of people. Most st holders will be shelllng out £100 this week. A low turnout will be disappointing but not surprising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzyonthefence Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 2 hours ago, Thought Police said: But they'll cry when they don't have enough points to go to Easter Road or Florence. People have plenty reasons not to be forking out money for football matches at the moment, I don’t see any need to turn it into a point scoring exercise and it’s none of our business why they aren’t going. And talking about points, is one loyalty point for a mid week League Cup game really going to make any difference for a system that might only be utilised one more time this season?

IanV Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Spare ticket going for tomorrow (Gorgie stand). Had to cancel my flight back to Edinburgh so unfortunately won’t be there. It’s a digital ticket so easy to email to anyone if they could use it. Not looking for anything for it - just would rather it didn’t go to waste.

Loads of reasons as people have stated but a key one is it is not on the season ticket so it is cash people may not have spare. For me its more that I can't get back to Dunkeld after midweek games so it basically takes two days out of my busy life, and I'll probably have to do that 2 or 3 times for the European games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie_Rules Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Expensive time to be a hearts fan at the moment, and not every fan has the time in their lives through family, work commitments etc to attend 2 games a week. Can understand why many would chose this one to miss out. That aside, it doesnt make this game any less important to the club, another great chance to get to Hampden again if we get through with a bit luck in the draw. Bit of a bad feeling about it but hopefully more rotation and a few good performances. Gordon Atkinson Sibbick Neilson Kingsley New German Haring Grant C. Smith Gino Shankland Halliday, Henderson, M. Smith, GMS to feature. 2-1 Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panagiotis Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 This is exactly the type of game that should have a big amount of LP's on offer. Unlimited supply, no one going to miss out. Give people opportunity to build them. Then even if people end up buying with no intention of going it's money to the club anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'd make sure Kingsley was fully fit for Livi, particularly on the plastic: - Gordon - Smith, Sibbick, Neilson, Cochrane - Haring, Halliday - Forrest, McKay, Mackay-Steven - Shankland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo92 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Games coming thick and fast, squad depth will be tested. Hoping to see the likes of Henderson and Smith starting to see if they are able to mix it against Premiership level. Would be silly to risk some of our injured boys in this. League takes priority over the League Cup. As for attendance, not surprising to be honest, football fans tend to have short term memories. It's never a chore for me to watch Hearts.

Kiwidoug Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The lack of signings over the past few days plus the new serious injuries will be a dampener Imo.

Sooks Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Had to pick and choose the games I can make since we decided to be so damn successful at staying in competitions past the early rounds and this one is unfortunately one I cannot make I am guessing there is no other way to watch it though What is frustrating is that the BBC radio coverage will still probably be of the game that Premier Sports chose to show and not the games that they chose to ignore ……….. add that to the fact that Premier Sports do not let any one else show the games that they fail to take up for TV and it is a bit shit if you can not make it along ………… first and hope fully the only home game I will miss this season too Is it on Hearts TV international Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
