Chillidigits Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Was just wondering if anyone knows whether or not the club takes an interest in the comments posted on Terrace. Yes there's always some dross which is to be expected but there has also been extremely legitimate points/opinions/concerns aired over the years. I'd like to think that influential people at Hearts are tapping in to these comments to get valuable insight as to how we supporters think and an appreciation of how passionate we are about Hearts.

It’s an extreme indication of how supporters feel so I’d hope they don’t pay it too much attention. I’d imagine they do have a look though.

I’d imagine they do have a look though. I'm sure there has been mention before from people at the club they do look at Kickback. I'm sure there was a contentious answer Andrew Mckinlay gave at a Shareholders dinner a few months ago when things were not going well where he defended appointing Naismith by pointing out a kickback poll had the majority wanting him to be manager. I also think they will read anything on here with a massive pinch of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though they will definitely keep an eye on it but give most of it the respect it deserves. We should maybe have our customer numbers as our usernames and we might then be worth listening too.

Rocky jamboa Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I'd say JKB is fairly representative of fans opinions. There are always some posts which are extreme either way but on the whole, fairly balanced. I'd imagine most companies would want to know the feelings amongst customers so I'd be surprised if the club didn't look in. I sometimes wonder if the players look on here. I would if I was a player. Must be pretty brutal for some at times though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Black 8 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I know for a fact that theres current players n ex players that read JKB and people at the club some in the management n above 👍 Was a good few players on it when a was at the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The JKB Twitter account has 21k followers and don’t they post links to basically every thread? So while the forum isn’t a primary social channel, that’s quite a considerable number of fans who at least keep an eye on it. There’s no doubt the club has someone doing analysis on the general sentiments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boag1874 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 They’ll monitor it to gauge fan opinion, same with x, facebook, instagram etc. I doubt they’ll be sitting scrolling through the whole thing but they’ll use all forms of social media honestly probably even fringe stuff like Hearts Talk. As much as a lot of pure shite gets posted it definitely gives an indication that when put together with everything else gives a pretty broad spectrum of how the fans feel. Doesn’t mean they always have to listen if they have but they’d be daft not to use it for analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I feel the way a new player or a someone returning from a long term injury can be written off after a couple of games must have a negative affect if they read it on here sometimes. Ideas to improve the enjoyment of fans watching the team and other suggestions along those lines I hope the club are listening carefully. Even our kickback player scouts might get something right, who knows 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 300-600 different people per day post on JKB. They represent a good cross-section of Hearts fans, i.e. , age, location, ST holders / not, match attenders / internet watchers, sensible / emotional, etc. Is there any better place for the Club to read the opinions of the fans? Whether they take action based on those opinions is a different discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you take out the extreme posts, especially after a defeat it's probably a decent read and a decent representation of the support. I imagine a group of players, especially young lads having a wee (or big drink), playing fifa or the likes then reading the comment's and ripping the pish out of each other ( and posters).

Doesn’t mean they always have to listen if they have but they’d be daft not to use it for analysis. Agree. Qualitative analysis is very difficult and expensive to obtain from any customer base so you'd be remiss not to use something like JKB to gain some form of insight. And like any analysis, you'd be careful to be aware of all the limitations of said approach. I personally hope they're more interested in the shed, that'll give them some proper insights into how radge some of the posters on here are 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percival King Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Wouldn't surprise me if someone at the club goes into JKB to see what the hot topics are, and it's possibly right that they do, but doubt they are too influenced by what is said- if they were we'd have punted Shankland earlier in the season for being too lazy/overweight, we'd have sacked Naismith (and probably his successors) and everyone else in any sort of position of power at the club and we'd currently be putting another tier on the Wheatfield. And we'd probably be on some sort of SFA charge for complaining about dodgy referees after every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
