Sooperstar Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 2 hours ago, 1971fozzy said: nothing. Even our local rag has had nothing. Brutal I took the liberty to write my own article in the absence of any other news outlet bothering their arse. Took 5 minutes. Generous Hearts supporters have raised almost £30k to help fellow fans attend Sunday's huge Scottish Cup Semi Final match against Rangers. The Edinburgh club's charity, Big Hearts, this week put out an appeal to the Gorgie faithful looking to raise funds to help die-hard fans who would otherwise be unable to attend the clash in Glasgow. The fundraiser quickly gained traction with donations flooding in at a rate which prompted Craig Wilson, Big Hearts CEO, to descripe the response as 'incredible'. The volume of donations has seen the team at Big Hearts putting all hands to the pump in order to deal with the very welcome logistical headache presented to them. 500 briefs have been distributed via the charity's network and community partners and there have even been enough funds to cover travel, food vouchers and scarves for the lucky recipients of the tickets. A sea of maroon will head West to Hampden on Sunday and thanks to the kindness of strangers the current will be swelled with 500 lucky souls who, until this week, were expecting to be watching on TV.

stuart500 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 If it becomes logistically impossible to spend the donations on sending folk to the semi, I hope they can make use of the money in any other way that benefits the charity.

periodictabledancer Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I'm not coming up for the game as I'm flat broke, having to pay car tax & renew car insurance this month on the back of some very bad news today regarding a death in the family.

The media in Scotland they never want to talk up our game they only want to slag it off. Headlines about us not selling tickets get more clicks than good news stories. The Edinburgh Evening News is also a Hibs rag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
