Pasquale for King Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The Gorgie stand hospitality was empty, not sure if our fans dont want to go to games against them, or their fans used to and maybe boycotted it. Quite happy 576 of them as opposed to the full end of the wee pals on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the posh bit Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 5 hours ago, Perrykitch said: Not sure if others noticed but there was a fairly large group of Celtic fans in the hospitality section of the main stand, down the front of one of the upper sections which is a few rows in front of me. They were being fairly quiet/under the radar most of the match but they didn’t even bother to “hide” when hearts scored, remaining in their seats while others around them celebrated. Very weird behaviour doing that, but it’s Celtic fans I suppose. There were some guys in one of the lower sections that appeared to notice and were very much on the GIRUY for each of the Hearts goals. Hope they enjoyed their experience which I’m sure set them back about £100 What's weird is looking to be offended about just about anything. Away fans can buy hospitality tickets, I have done so more than once. They can also sneak into an away end to watch their side, all they really have to do is act like a normal person.

Haken Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Anytime I've been to hospitality, Scott Wilson usually quips, If there are any away fans here, just remember that you're sitting in a home stand and that our fans move quicker than our stewards.

Bull's-eye Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 No issue with it whatsoever, as long as they behave and respect those around them. As for taking advantage of the Tynecastle hospitality, why not? Its excellent and anybody not having a wee dabble every now and again is missing out. Absolutely no issue with supporters getting the hump with other supporters who can't keep their gobs shut saying that, i have myself in the past politely asked Infiltrators to remove themselves pronto pronto before their day gets well and truly spoiled.

AlphonseCapone Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I suppose there's always a higher risk of away fans at games against the OF now we've cut their allocation and we've got so many scaredy cats that don't go to games against them because we'll get pumped or its too nasty.

Hearts1975 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) 2 hours ago, Perrykitch said: It’s weird behaviour forking out all that cash to sit uncomfortably in silence surrounded by fans who despise you. Not about celebrating goals. Just don’t see what you’re getting from that experience. They might have been given the tickets through corp sponsorship or something. That does happen. if they were being absolute melts then hell mend them if anything kicked off. If they were just minding their own business, watching the game, and not looking for any trouble, then it's no biggie Imo anyway.

Kick off time major factor for some. Also major factor is the LPs being at 15 our support has grown in last couple of years. The feel good factor has people who hadn't been for Tynecastle for ages coming back so we alikely to have large numbers still on low LPs. Hopefully this season will have people building up there LPs for games v old firm and next season we might get near full for them. Also a major factor is now we look like we can give them a game on our day where as years gone by its been like turning up to watch and old firm training session. All positive signs so let's keep I going and have Tynecastle full when the arseholes return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbee647 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 3 hours ago, Ministryofdad said: Yeah coperate hospitality at Tynecastle is definitely a perplexing one. Cant be housed anywhere else. But they paid for the ticket. Also find it baffling how fans can't get along and enjoy it for 90 mins. Rivals or not. I despise only one set of fans. Celtic Many will be actual guests of companies who put money into Hearts year after year. Not all our corporate investors have clients or customers solely from Edinburgh. A good friend of mine has invested in corporate facilities at Hearts for many years, and on occasion he will have customers who are Hibs , Old Firm and even Aberdeen fans, mostly show respect but on occasion after a few drinks the mask will slip. If Hearts were to say, your guests must all be Hearts fans, they would lose many long standing corporate sponsors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EIEIO Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 6 hours ago, This is My Story Podcast said: Yeah I’ve no idea why it’s tolerated either. How do we stop it and fix it? To buy a ticket for the Home end v the victims you needed 15 loyalty points, quite a lot too many in my view. Got my daughter a ticket for Greenock no loyalty points required, she lives in the Weegieland and has less than 10 loyalty points so couldn't have got one yesterday.

Jambo61 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 10 hours ago, kingantti1874 said: I went to Scotland England 150th game in hospitality. They sat me at a table with a family from England. took the edge of the game for me as I had to be nice, even more so when I and my mater had to stick up for them an account of the abuse they took. One guy in hospitality spat on the mum. long story short, no idea why you’d go into away hospitality in a game like this. Absolute melts everywhere I won hospitality on the BBC predictor, went to Ibrox for a Hearts game, surrounded obviously but everyone was fairly normal, mostly couples up from england and 2 of the hardest benders I've ever seen who were actually alright. Are you suggesting I should only have gone to Hearts hospitality? Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 They made the best of a bad choice and situation . Sounds as though they were respectful . No complaints about that .
