No sense cutting our nose of to spite our face. No way we will sell out the other 3 stands by the 27th so looks like it is back to the bigot brothers having the whole of the Roseburn again..

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'll issue a challenge to the club. Start playing our best players in their correct positions in an effective formation. Go on Hearts, try that challenge! Patronising feckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Terraces Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Totally embarrassing climbdown if we resort to giving them the whole School End again, which, sad to say, we probably will, the days of sellouts for any games, bar the hobos, are long gone. Back to the bad old days I'm afraid. Just live with it. Gash team = gash crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superhearts51 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 I agree mate, It's very embarassing that we are now having to go back cap in hand to them.

magicTs Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 The correct thing to do as we are hardly in a position to knock back the extra dough it will generate however what an embarrasing article. 'Challenge' ****** off, I challenge Hearts to sign a striker who actually knows where the goal is and we might not have lost the 2-3000 fans who have recently stopped going.

Manny1874 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Id rather have empty seats to be honest. Anything to show that old firm fans and there pesh arent welcome at Tynie. Our attendances have been extremely poor this season, we got more last season and the football was worse by far. Funny considering our away supports have been good or very good.

Dunks Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks for this 'new' word (for me at least), I hope to gave the chance to use it in the future..... Hubris: Hubris, sometimes spelled hybris (ancient Greek ὕβρις), is a term used in modern English to indicate overweening pride, self-confidence, superciliousness, or arrogance, often resulting in fatal retribution.

Nelly Terraces Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Actually, I know we won't sell enough tickets to fill part of the school end, but I'm wondering, will the Smellies? Noticed recently that away crowds for both the weegie **** clubs are well down when they're games are on TV (i.e. every week). Team IRA didn't have many at Kilmarnock last week. Hopefully the filth don't bother showing up at our place in great numbers and only sell around 2 - 2? thou. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3inaBednar Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I challenge Hearts to do what murderwell did for there fans and charge ?15 for an adult and child. I'm almost sure this would result in sell out - or how about ?10 flat fare for anybody. I know this annoys ST holders but desperate times call for desperate measures, especially when the game is on the box! Or how about bloody free entry for all!!! sorry i'm going on a rant now - the lack of imagination amongst the SPL clubs when it comes to getting more bums on seats astounds me. Ok, you'll annoy ST holders if you let folk in cheap but you do not have to do this every week. It's hardly rocket science to have these - a) ladies day - all women in for free, if they've got a kid with them then ?5. emergency services 50% off - all fireman, ambulance folk etc in for half price. c)Family day - four members of the same family for ?30 d) Replica kit day - any walk up fan with this seasons home shirt on, 25% off admission - encourages shirt sales and looks good at the game wi eveyrone in maroon. e) bring a flag day - anybody bringing a Hearts flag to the match - 25% off. f) Amateur club day - any amateur club (for any sport) can get 11 tickets for ?60. etc etc etc etc Just use your imagination Hearts - any money for a seat that would otherwise be empty is surely worth it and to ST holders, would you not rather sit in a full stadium having lost a few quid than an empty one and broke even - for the greater good surely these promos would be worth it.

I agree with that - it's disappointing that we seem to have backed off from actively trying to fill the ground with Hearts fans. Although of course it was overwhelmingly due to the early Burley/Romanov on-field success "Fireworks Phil" Anderton desrved some of the credit for getting us up to sell out crowds by active marketing and making games at Tynecastle an occasion - fireworks, parachutists etc. Although not for the purists and old fogeys like me, I think it did make a diffference to some. (I remember going to World Wrestling Federation events with my son years ago when the biggest excitement generated on the night was in the build up with the lights went off and the fireworks and music started). Now its down to a "Let's Make Some Noise" shout at kick off. To be reduced to "if you don't buy tickets we'll sell them to the OF" as your only marketing ploy is pretty sad.

Colonel Kurtz Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I would suggest that this is the time to forget about who has temporary stewardship of Heart of Midlothian,and buy tickets for the club we support. We will have that self publicising bigotted baloon from the hun supporters trust crowing,and the Tims will be more than normally unbearable.

djf Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Come on. Whilst a minority might not come because of "Mad Vlad's meddling" the majority of people who have stopped coming between Burley and now are doing so because the lack of investment in players has taken us back to pre-Romanov standards. They are the perfect definition of glory hunters. If Vlad started signing players like Jankauskis and Bednar again and we were doing well in the league there would be sell outs yet again.
