four winds jambo Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 the BBC are making much of the fact that today was not a sellout. What was the crowd and do you think a wee run could have the full house signs up again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucky Thompson Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It seems like a lot of the Wheatfield have moved to the main stand:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mild-Mannered James Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It was just over 14,000. Not too bad considering last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It was just over 14,000. Not too bad considering last season. From my section it looked like the Main Stand was rammed full today. Still a decent crowd considering. 14K's not bad after the season we've just had. They will return if we start winning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JALBO Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 At 14,200+ I think the crowd is as good as we might of expected given recent times. I'd have thought the corporate side was a worry though. Section A of the Wheatfield looked as if there were only about 50 who took advantage of Hearts matchday corporate hospitality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djg001 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 ?21 for the cheapest seats for a motherwell game is a disgrace - i'm sure it was ?15 last year. not only that, but the barstewards charged me ?5 for booking 4 tickets. ?90 for 4 tickets is not on!

Jambof3tornado Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I think the credit crunch is as much to blame for the attendances being down as our previous seasons showings. It will get better. Hearts will come up with another super sevens incentive to draw a few more into the ground. The weather may have kept some away too. Wasnt bad,but if you had decided whether to go or not by the morning weather you would have stayed at home. I enjoyed that game more than I have enjoyed any for a long time.

Guest jambomickey Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 all those empty spaces are down to the way the club was being run! hopefully romanov will stick to letting the manager do his job without sticking his nose in and we can get stability back and then those who didn't renew season tickets will return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed that game more than I have enjoyed any for a long time. also many people will be on holiday Aberdeen got 12,600 for what is effectively a derby against Inverness so I don't think 14,200 for motherwell is too shabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Tarts 1874 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The crowds will improve again. The larger attendances last season were only due to season ticket holders going along just to use what they had already paid for, I'm sure many of them didn't really want to be there. The team doesn't look good enough to get 3 points at Ibrox, but after that our games against St.Midden and Hamilton could have us on 9 points from 4 games, if so I'm certain the fans will start coming back.

I saw both teams (Rangers and Hearts) for 90 minutes today. On that evidence and on that form we will take at least a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special agent oso Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I noticed that both corners of the gorgie stand ( rows 1-10 )were empty , i moved from there to section D as they increased the season ticket price from ?250 to ?335 , they only have themselves to blame , my wife and daughter reused to pay the extra money to sit in the rain , so the money saved got me a platinum seat.

Cappuccino Kid Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 If I remember correctly we were still offering season tickets if not after but certainly up to the vermin game under Burley. A win at Ibrox may make tickets a little more scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I saw both teams (Rangers and Hearts) for 90 minutes today. On that evidence and on that form we will take at least a point. According to the official website the attendance today was 14,219, which given last season, and all the delays in appointing a manager, is not a bad attendance today. Given today's result, and the group of fixtures we have coming up after Ibrox (which "on paper" all look winnable) I would be delighted to come away with a point next week (even more delighted if we can exit with all 3) just to keep the player's confidence up.

St Midden, bogie team. Hamilton, new team curse. 9 points would be very good indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, I didn't see any of the Rangers game however I read that watty has pushed the panic button and played with 2 strikers. I think they are struggling, but I think our defence is going to leek goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about that. We looked a lot better today. Yes we still have a lot of problems needing sorted, mainly in defence and def need a striker, but Im watching the re-run of the Falkirk v Rangers game just now on Setanta and Rangers are looking pretty poor. I think we're playing this fixture at the right time. Bring it on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondejamtart Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Crowd may have been down today, but from the sound of things (certainly in the Main Stand) a lot of the "no shows" must have been from the moaning, whinging brigade who do nothing but complain - even when we're winning. Thought we sounded great today - well done to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team appears to be on the turn, VR seems to have given a manager the space to do his job, if that continues then the fans will come back.
