Hearts Programme Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 This is a new user ID used by the volunteer match programme contributors to communicate regarding programme content. Generally speaking, most of the first half of every programme is written by the club, the second half is written by volunteers and we're looking for your help. This season the club have added a News Page to the programme, and it's there for fans to submit any items of news that may be of interest, whether that is supporters club advertising events/functions or bus details, or fans marking the passing of a life-long fellow fan, a birthday/wedding worthy of mention, or an amusing story/picture related to Hearts, anything you think may be of interest. The club have set-up an email address for submissions; [email protected] this doesn’t come to us, and it’s upto to the club what they print or not, but please consider it as an avenue alongside messages appearing on the big screen, and a longer lasting one! The more submissions, the better it becomes. Another new feature in the programme this season is My Memorable Match. We're looking for people to write 500-600 words on a Hearts match which is memorable to them for inclusion in the programme. It needn't be a Cup win or even a win. Perhaps the game is memorable because it coincided with a great event, the birth of a child. Or perhaps it was memorable because it was the last time you went to a match with a loved one. Perhaps it was a memorable trip following Hearts in Europe or on a pre-season jaunt. Or maybe it was just a fantastic team performance or a memorable goal which stands out in your mind. If you'd like to be included and have your name in the programme, drop us a message at [email protected] Don't worry if you feel your writing's not strong enough; we can work something out. Hopefully this appeals to fans to get more involved with the programme and improve it's quality further, and if you have any other ideas over content feel free to get in touch. We don’t want to go down the road of seeing it binned like our friends down Leith way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a superb opportunity and something we have been very fortunate enough to be involved with, the last couple of seasons. This is a long standing part of our match day experience and something we’d all be gutted to lose! Can’t encourage folk enough to give it a bash.

Same for My Memorable Match, although not such an urgency as we have a few ready to go. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've checked that, it got all the way to part 19 (Sandy Clark) before Covid intervened. The content for this season and next is largely already set with it being the 150th (and next year, the 100th of the programme), but it's certainly something that can be looked at re-running in future.

Hearts Programme Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 4 hours ago, Rudiscoresagain said: I assume the Wee Team are claiming to have produced the first programme and likely to have been for their ever first game. Not on this occasion, although they did start their programme a season or two after us. Both clubs (or rather the company that were contracted to do it) did sell "half-time programmes" as far back as the 1900's, but none appear to have survived. Probably just a card with the fixtures on to match up with the half time score board. The first proper Hearts issue was for the match against Ayr United on Saturday 23rd August 1924, and Mondays edition of the Edinburgh Evening news reported; “It was quite evident at Tynecastle on Saturday that the Hearts official programme has caught on with the public. In addition to giving the teams, referee and data for the half-time board, it also supplied a paragraph dealing with Ayr which wound up with “There is no reason why we should not annex the points in to-days game”. One trusts that the lackadaisical style of the Hearts players, in the first half, had no connection with the phrase quoted”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
