It got me thinking about what we could do or what we would like to see happen as fans. I think it’s an opportunity to properly celebrate a big milestone in our clubs history and I’d like to see it done in a really classy manner. Thoughts? Would love us to reprise this strip - pure Hearts ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobNox Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I'd like to see This Is My Story productions put on another show, as A War of Two Halves and Sweet FA were both excellent.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Apologies, I'm too tired to look, but the buyout was in 2014 too, was it not? 150 years of Hearts and 10 years of fan ownership (or 10 years on the path to it as it were) is a nice pair.

It is great that they fall at the same time in a way , but our 150 year anniversary as a club feels a lot more important to me .

stuart500 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Would like to see events aimed at the future generations of Hearts fans. This will not only be a celebration of the first 150 years but also of the start of the next 150. We are in an incredibly good place at the moment to really build on the last few years. We have talented people in charge, capable of growing the club, both on the field and as a provider of help to those less fortunate in the community. I'm sure our celebrations will fully reflect just what this club has meant and continues to mean for us all, from ardent fans to those with just a bit of a soft spot. One Hearts, one family and bring on the next 150. ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know loads of work mates or neighbours who are former attendees who now just catch Sportscene . We should try and draw them back in , and this is the perfect occasion . I would also like to see a statue or two on the plaza Totally agree about statues. 1 of our first captain, Tom Purdie, 1 of Tommy walker as our most successful manager and 1 with the terrible trio. Possibly 1 of Robbo as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie_Rules Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) What ever we do with the kit, we could sell an absolute load of them. Would certainly be a keepsake for life having the 150th anniversary strip. Something around the badge with 1874 - 2024. A big production at the EICC/Usher Hall would be great, footage and the story of the clubs history, potentially live speakers invited along the way, would most certainly sell out.

Percival King Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 56 minutes ago, Locky said: Does anyone know of an exact date the club was formed? According to A Pictorial History 1874 - 1984, our founders started playing in the autumn of 1873 (after a policeman directed them to the Meadows so they could use up energy rather than hanging about street corners). They used local rules which were mix of rugby and football rules. In December that year, Queen's Park and Clydesdale played an exhibition at Bonnington in order to introduce Association Football rules to Edinburgh. Some of our founders attended that exhibition then, in early 1874, they adopted Association Football rules and reformed as Heart of Mid-lothian F.C.. So, I can't see an exact date but it would seem to be early 1874, probably. P.S. the football they used in 1873 was bought from Percival King's shop in Lothian Road, hence my user name.
