cazzyy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 49 minutes ago, dc-jambo said: But am wondering- how come we held back the posh seats, this time? Am thinking the financial agreement with the SFA must have encouraged this. For example, we agreed to recompense them at a flat rate, as an average of concessions, adults, cheap seat and dear ones? Maybe thought we had a better chance at flogging the good seats at this late stage as opposed to selling shite ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rory78 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) 1998 was the best of the best the emotion felt that day against Rangers will never be matched the final 5 minutes alone still has me in sweats watching on YouTube - 2012 Final was a stroll in the park,not sure even winning league ever would top 1998 and that sunny day as if you were there you'll know what I mean 👍 I put the graphics on the front of the LRT bus saying "LRT says well done Hearts" I put the graphics on it on the Thursday before game thinking that that was me jinxing us big time 😳 still got the pics of me on bus before the game with the signage done kind of pretend praying 🙏 Edited April 19 by rory78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was so confident we'd beat Hibs, think we'd done them 3 times that season already, queue the famous Paulo quote! I was really confident we’d beat hibs too but the ‘what if they managed to beat us….’ Gave me the fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Torrance Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 98 for me and I couldn't even get a ticket to the game. Anyone in doubt, watch Neil Pointon's video diary on YouTube from start to finish, especially the bus journey from the Calders to Tynie. I managed to get out the Tynie Arms in time for the bus coming round the corner that night. Was better than the parade the following day.

kingantti1874 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 98 for me as well. Was so nervous at 2-1 I thought I was going to be sick. Hid for large parts of the last 10 minutes and didn’t watch . The elation was incredible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveandal Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Dot count update.... ok I've had a beer and thought sod it. Far cry from the Friday before the 06 Final when I met an American lass called Paige in the LiquidRooms... but I digress. 43 tickets sold since 4pm. Meaning since 11am this morning we have sold 116 tickets. Joel Sked reported before 11am that Hearts had sold over 19k Meaning its safe to say we've sold over 19.2k. There are currently 152 tickets available for purchase. 56 of which are in H6. It's going to be busy 😃😃😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said that is an absolute bare minimum of what we have sold. And likewise the 19.2k figure is very conservative.

To 2024, when both these magnificent historic outcomes could be bettered this year if Hearts manage to beat Rangers on Sunday (henceforth referred to as Hunday if we win) .... and then manage to beat (most likely) Celtic in the Final.

zeke1874 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The 1998 Cup win was the best. The 2012 Cup win was famous because of the opposition, also that the team put celtic out in the semis.. But, the 98 team was special. Managed by a die hard Jambo, it was 3 seasons in the making. Add in the fact that we had gone so long without a trophy. Definitely my favourite.

FarmerTweedy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 6 hours ago, Lone Striker said: Yeah, agree with that. We'd never beaten Rangers under JJ, and so didn't expect to in the Cup Final either - until a tiny wee glimmer of hope emerged when the news broke that ALbertz & Gazza wouldn't be playing. In 2012, we expected to win .... with just that tiny wee bit trepidation that we might not. 😏 We'd beaten rangers three times under JJ before the 1998 Cup final!

FarmerTweedy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 5 hours ago, Sooks said: I was 18 and it was an epic day . I just preferred 2012 though Obviously, folk that are too young to remember 1998 will have 2012 as their top moment, but for those old enough to have experienced and remember both, I think the majority will be split by whether they also remember 86. For those that do (including myself!), 98 was more than just the joy of the occasion, it was a sort of healing thing too, a lifting of years of heartache. For some, particularly those who could remember the 60s, there was a genuine belief that they'd never see us win something again in their lifetimes. Some even thought the club might be jinxed or cursed! For most of these folk, I think 98 will top 2012. Probably the only thing that could top 98 for them would be winning the league, and maybe not even that for some. For most of those that, like yourself, can't remember as far back as 86, I imagine 2012, with the fact it was the vermin, and how comprehensive a win it was, would surpass 98.
