Interlopers

[OmiyaHearts]

I would have got the shit kicked out me if I was in G yesterday🤣. Have the strongest weegie accent you could hear and I never wear colours at games v Old Firm, as it makes train journey back to Glasgow a bit easier.

 

I'd have been singing all our songs trying to prove my loyalty😄

If you were at the back of section L or K today, your first half was likely disrupted getting huns kicked out (as mine was)

 

Massive credit to the stewards who did their job under challenging circumstances 

They got a bit if stick for not moving them quick enough but they were only doing 5hings by the book and they got there in the end (other than the two wee scamps that crawled under the banner.

 

And credit to the hearts fans who rounded on them quickly.

 

Wee bit of advice if anyone is infiltrating Parkhead at the end of the season. (can't condone such action myself)

Swallow you provide and wear something green, so you are not as obvious as those thick ****s today.

 

**** that !

They may be an argument that away supporters are removed for their own safety.
But Hearts fans providing tickets for Rangers fans.... tut tut, IF that is what happened, we don't actually know do we?
I hope no Scotland supporters are getting tickets from the opposing teams allocations....

 

I am thinking that that a lot of the interlopers will have Ticket Accounts so can either buy them direct or via TE.   The club cannot stop that without starting a vetting process as to who should have an account and that would be virtually impossible to introduce and manage.  I mean if we have ref's who do not need to confirm who they support I doubt fans would need to.  I agree we do not know if Hearts fans provided tickets or not but I suspect there will be a few given the numbers of interlopers.

Illegal, as in a criminal or civil offence that could be prosecuted in a court?  If that's what you're asking, then no.  But it's criminally stupid.

 

In the times I've been in hospitality, Scott would always remind any away fans that they were sitting in a home stand and ask them to act accordingly, and remind them that our stewards did not move as fast as our fans.

Yes was asking that and agree no chance it would be legal to stop a purchase by away fans.  I think depending on who the team is then yes stupid but I know East Fife fans who regularly come to watch Hearts but they cheer when we score 

 

 

[sac]

Those daft enough to do it, if they are caught and subsequently ejected should have their details taken and cross referenced against our ticket database and removed if they are on it.

Otherwise it’s very difficult to stop them if our own fans are stupid enough to knowingly sell them to them. Should the ST holder/s in question be punished by having their ST removed?

Obviously before an account is allowed, every person has to go in front of a board consisting of the top 10 posters on Kickback, who will then verify their PHM status. 

Only fair I think 🤔 

[The Hogfather]

If the club are going to require 10 LPs to buy tickets for these fixtures, they should be telling those with tables in hospitality their guests are to have a similar number.

 

Hospitality has been a problem with away fans for years, especially in these fixtures.

One to question about beer prices in the local hosterlies. 

Another transport specialist, who you will have to prove the best free parking close to the ground, and the buses that get you there. 

The historian. Questions about the 1894-95 title winning team etc. 

Plus other specialists obviously 😂

To be fair to those Huns last night, sneaking into the away end and getting launched is less embarrasing than walking away and letting your club die.

[tian447]

The interlopers in section L got huckled, and then were straight into the away end to watch the rest of the game. 

 

How the **** is that allowed? Why were they ushered into an already capacity away end, to take up seats that they hadn't bought? 

 

****ing raging seeing the wee prick giving it large on the way out, pop out 2 minutes later across the banner.

They were giving it the whole "frail auld woman" nonsense on the way down the stairs, but as soon as they got to the concourse, they were sticking fingers up and shouting Weegie things. They knew what they were doing.

It's away fans and season tickets but the club keeps a bunch from the section behind the goal to sell. They've been gone in no time online recently, you won't get close to walkups on the day.

 

I've also heard that is also the tickets that the club will allocate to staff members. Maybe not beyond the realms of possibility that not all staff are supporters and used the opportunity to make a few quid. Again, as per fans / season ticket holders, if it's proven they were originally allocated to staff as well, they should at at minimum no longer be entitled to tickets.

Just was told today that our fantastic set play coach is a raging Dundee Utd supporter.  Don't think he would need to sell his tickets if he got any and would defo say he would not be handing them to any of the Uglies.

He 100% does not support Dundee Utd - he worked for them but does not support them. Any tickets he has goes to his family who have completely bought into everything happening at Hearts and are at every game .

It's not so much them being in our end. I done it years ago at Easter Road, I know a hibby who was in the Hearts end at the 2012 final. Not a problem because in both cases mouths were kept shut and we acted appropriately. These hun tossers can't help giving themselves away. It's disrespetful.

Ok thanks for that.

I got told he was this morning so will correct my source.  He was adamant that he did support them because he said he was pally with him.  Obviuosly not that pally.

One was kicked down the steps in F I think start of second half. He was squealing to Police on the concourse for not protecting him. 

 

Couldn't see if he was ejected or worse, sent to the losers section.

The matches tickets are bought for is a bigger indicator of allegiances than the number of LPs. Someone with 10 LPs that only buys tickets for games against Rangers is far more suspect than someone with 3 LPs and a decade-long history buying tickets against random opposition.

 

It should be fairly easy for the club to set up a system where you need X number of LPs against Y number of teams.

I am not condoning any violent action against them but it's a good thing that their fans will learn that they won't get a comfortable time sitting in the home stands at Tynecastle unlike places like Rugby Park for instance where seats are plentiful in the home stands.

It's a civil matter determined by the t&cs on the ticket, that's about it

 

How legally binding that is will be down to the wording that the Club has been advised to put on there and a Judge if need be in the end

Football fans have always sat in the wrong end since segregation started.  The trick ( difficult as it might be ) is not to get caught.

The last time I went there for a league game against them, four of us were in the stand with no colours on but we were singled out when we didn’t join in the bedlam when they scored. We had to leave pretty sharpish after that!

Reminds me of a guy I met on the way to a derby at Easter Road late 80's or early 90's. It was just after Mo Johnston signed for Rangers and in the course of talking about the game I asked him who he was supporting as he wasn't in either team colour. 'There's only one team to support' he said and pulled up his sleeve. He had a full Rangers crest in colour tattooed on his upper arm, BUT with a tattooed 'X' over it, and a full colour Hearts crest just below it. He'd basically dropped Rangers when they signed Johnston and came to us as plan B. Mental. I didn't know what to say to him! I've often wondered over the years whatever happened to him and if he reconciled himself with their new multi-faith identity......

That may be the case.

 

But I'm not tolerating OF in the Hearts end.

It's a hazard to fans. There was a lad with his two kids next to us, that moved into the recently vacated seats, because there were more along from him and didn't want his kids near if it kicked off. That's bullshit and it's not on. Whether the "kicking off" was due to the Rangers or Hearts fans doesn't matter, if you've gone in there that's your fault.

 

I haven't gone in the home end of someone else's ground when we are playing them and almost certainly never will.

 

But if I did, as you say, I wouldn't make it so obvious.

I'd stick some colours on, and pretend properly, so I didn't get caught.

And that's precisely why I wouldn't do it I suppose.

I'll be ****ed if I'm ever sticking a Rangers scarf around my neck to infiltrate that shower of shite

I was in the home section at Ibrox when we played them about 25 years ago. I think I managed to remain incognito but it was a close thing when we took an unexpected lead.  We ultimately lost though. 

[N Lincs Jambo]

Since segregation became a thing I reckon I only did it three times.

 

Time no 1: First derby at ER after segregation came in. It was a Sunday afternoon game and might have been EOSS - it was the game Drew Busby got sent off in for a leg breaker on Arthur Duncan. Anyway the Hearts fans were all getting sent towards the Dunbar end turnstiles instead of taking over their east terracing like we always did. The stewards were telling us we can't go any further as we won't get in. I'm saying to all my fellow Jambos bollox to that and to hide our scarves and just go in as normal which is what I did. I got in the east and realised I was the only Hearts fan on that terrace. I was 15 at the time and I'm not going to lie, it was the first and only time I've ever actually been scared at a derby. Fortunately I had a word with a steward in the ground and they let me in the Dunbar end.

 

Time no 2: January 84 Dens Park. I was a student at Dundee Uni at the time and students with student ID got free admission at the Provost Road end. I went with a Rangers mate of mine from uni and although I had my Hearts scarf on I kept it concealed. That was the game there was a snow blizzard before the game started and the Hearts fans in the away end ran across the pitch into the Derry where their hardcore fans went. My mate and I did the same from the other end of the ground and we all stayed there until the plod moved us en masse back to the away end at half time.

 

Time no 3: Slavia Prague v Hearts in the UEFA cup September 1992. I was on a touring holiday of Europe with mrs NLJ and we planned to get to Prague to coincide with the game. No tickets bought before we went so we ended up buying main stand tickets and sat there in full Hearts colours with quite curious locals who were great with us. A season ticket at Slavia then cost just £3. A pint of proper Czech Budweiser (Budvar) cost 12p.

[Cobblers]

My mate and I were in the Rangers end for the 1996 Cup Final.  Hampden was being redeveloped at the time and living in England made it really difficult to get tickets.  Luckily I worked for S&N at the time and they sponsored Rangers.  A colleague who I worked with in England had moved to Scottish Brewers and managed to get me 2 hospitality tickets and given these were the top hospitality tickets I thought the seats should be safe enough.  I came as a bit of a shock when I discovered the pre match hospitality was at Ibrox.  I arrived at the stadium dressed in a maroon jacket and we entered the main stand and walked up the famous marble staircase to a beautiful oak panelled dining room.  The hospitality was excellent and well hosted by Sandy Jardine.  We then left to travel by coach to the stadium and as we came down the staircase we were met by the Rangers team who we’re also

about to board their coach for the stadium. There was a big crowd outside waiting the cheer them off and I resisted the temptation to pull out my hearts scarf which was hidden underneath my jacket.  When we got to the stadium Sandy warned us to be careful which was the first clue that our seating might not be as safe as I thought.  When we got to our seats we discovered we were just in the middle of all the knuckle dragging Orcs.  There was two rows of hospitality surrounded by them and I started to regret wearing my maroon jacket.  The game was crap as we all

know and I couldn’t wait to get out.  Highlight of the day was watching the pre match twirly but I’m not sure I would want to do it again.
