Debut 4 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Can`t find a link mate, but a company done in-depth research and said Hearts have approx 400,000 supporters in Britain, the 18the highest and 3rd biggest in Scotland of course. The Hobos according to this company have around 200,000. I don`t know how they came to get those figures but i`m sure they were as thorough as they could be.:107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they may take into account ex pat fans aswell. I`m not frightened of being a laughing stock but maybe you are? Edinburgh has a pop of about 450,000 at last count. Take in the surrounding areas Mid, West, East Lothian, theres over a mill pop.(inc edinburgh) Then there`s Hearts fans in Fife, Lanarkshire, Glesga, Ayrshire, maybe not in huge numbers of course compared to the OF. The ex pats Hearts fans overseas. 398,000 was the given number, i don`t think it sounds ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that basis alone I have enormous faith in this poll :107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
