Hmmm ... I'm not picking up on anyone being 'rude'. "Getting angry"? You're making that up. Speculation from someone who is possibly old-before-their-time type post. Och, c'mOAN, the posh bit!

What's more, the players (and management team) heard it, felt it, responded to it, and appreciated it. It really does make a difference. So, rather than look for negatives, how about dropping the '... been going for 15 minutes and is about 15 years behind their peers' guff; look for positives, and give the younger ones your backing? Before long, I'll be 6' under, along with a whole heap of other auld gits, and it's these younger ones who'll then be (I imagine) in the 'posh' seats and hopefully cheering along with their youngsters. I'm pretty confident that most 'older' folks will be more than happy to get on board with whatever arrangements the club make as regards accommodating the enthusiastic young ones. ❤️❤️G❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIEIO Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 1 hour ago, the posh bit said: I'd be pissed off if I had owned a season ticket in a section of the stadium for a lengthy number of years and was told to move because a newly formed group of the young team wanted to get it going. It seems to be popular but why can't the have it in section N with all the heid-the-baws? Club probably happy to have yhr young team at Gorgie end (which we traditionally shoot towards in the second half) rather than in either Section G or N which are closer to away fans.

Batistuta87 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Massive improvement to the atmosphere recently and although I'm about 10y too old to get involved myself I'm 100% behind the group who have got this going. I've followed their socials, donated to their PayPal, and will be ordering a hoody for my wee boy who is absolutely desperate but at 8yo is just a bit too young to go and join in! I'm absolutely loving his passion just now - it has definitely lifted a level since this all started. Think it was Celtic we scored against and when I turned to him to celebrate and he was away down the front giving it laldy with his scarf in the air 😂 Edited November 20, 2022 by Batistuta87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't expect folk to move sections without making a fuss that I think they would be well entitled to make. Prior to the new stand, we were in lower Gorgie right behind the goals and I reckon that there are loads of folks there who would welcome a more boisterous, possibly standing section (should it come to pass). We only moved so as to bag centre-line seats otherwise we'd still be there because it's a great place for being right on top of goal-mouth action. Before that it was the Willy Bauld suite which was (imho) not nearly as good. There'll be plenty of decent alternatives should anyone feel the need to move. Methinks that you really are looking for negatives by invoking the notion of disgruntled fans 'entitled to make a fuss'. Having said that, we're both speculating so let's just see what transpires.

Bazzas right boot Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Should definitely get a section and most folk will move without any issue( won't be many), for those getting all angry about moving seat- I say get a grip We need a singing section, the gorgie are doing well and it needs to happen.

Interesting you’ve decided to go down the “rude” route when you started off childishly slating those who sit in Section N. Not one I’d have went down myself. People can be angry if they want, but if the rumours are true about Hearts offering them higher value seats for the same price elsewhere in the ground, that’s pretty fair.

There'll be seats made vacant so it'll be a case of managing the interchange. For every, and I really mean every sold-out game this season there have been numerous empty seats in our vicinity. The most recent one? 9 seats within spitting distance. I honestly don't think that it'll be a big deal. My honest belief is that the vast majority of lower Gorgie folks would welcome a charged*, possibly sanctioned, standing section. *I mean atmospherically charged. 😁 Edited November 20, 2022 by Wee Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter McGavin Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Imagine how much more intimidating Tynecastle would be for opposition players if all the lower sections were safe standing, and filled with our most boisterous fans. Players often talk about how the fans are “right on top of them” due to the close proximity to the pitch, we should be looking to enhance that further. Also, turning the Gorgie end into our version of Dortmunds “Yellow Wall” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
