Serious question, genuinely interested...

[Victorian]

not that i expect this thread to be in evidence for very long but...

 

of the people who have chosen not to attend tynecastle on a point of principle, specifically for the reason that they believe that supplying cash to the current regime is the wrong thing to do...

 

will they be attending / will they be doing everything in their power to attend the scottish cup tie at easter road, given that some of their cash will ultimately end up at hearts?

 

not trolling, not making trouble, no claims along the lines of "better fan than you, him, her, it, them"....

 

just an honest question.

 

cheers.

[Spellczech]

I?d genuinely be shocked if any Hearts fan who is boycotting Tynecastle in order not to give Vlad money, goes to any away games and is content to give money to other teams.

[jambonian]

Don't know about others but, i've not attended Easter Road for a derby match since 1996. We lost 2-1 and i vowed i'd never go back to that place again and i haven't . It'll be on telly anyway. In the 3 games we played semi-finals at Easter Road, I refused to go to the League Cuo semi in '96 v Dundee, went down for the St Johnstone League cup semi in 99, we lost 3-0 and was at the Motherwell League Cup semi in 06, again which we lost. Not been a happy hunting ground in the last decade.

The game will probably/hopefully be shown on Sky so no need for the principled/skint folks to attend at all.

This was something I remember some very prominent and credible posters on here considering in the days before the sort-of enactment of the Jan 1 statement.

They'll be unable to get tickets.

[The Old Tolbooth]

I think it's almost guaranteed that people will crawl out of the woodwork to try and get a ticket, and some poor fan who attends most games will lose out somewhere, it's the nature of the beast, but the ticket office can help matters by reviewing their ticket policy.

[Guest jambomickey]

bet you're glad we didn't rest players against rangers like you suggested eh?

Last time i attended "that" place it was perfectly normal to urinate all over the terrace and i kinda like that memory in strange peshy kind of way.

correct you will need to be either a shareholder or a season ticket holder to get your hands on the hottest tickets in town, glory hunters have no chance of getting tickets.

I kind of expected this question and it's a hard one. My view is that I wouldn't go - even if I did get a ticket. My mind drifts back to a 2-2 draw at ER not that long ago and the team was quite obviously not picked by the manager (live on TV). When the team plays well more people will want to go however I can only speak for my circle of friends (and theirs) and out of 22 non-attenders on principal only one has said he would be prepared to attend a cup-final should we ever get there. I guess this answers you're question in terms of the Hibs game.

I am a shareholder.

[3inaBednar]

I haven't been to one game this season as I'm working out of town but I know a director so I'll get a ticket nae probs. The way of the world I'm afraid, who you know not what you have. Not proud of it but I wouldn't miss this macth for the world!

if we do get to the cup final, i'd be very surprised if all of your friends didn't try to get tickets and attend, principles or not.

 

its a very convenient excuse for the glory hunters in our support

[Victorian]

well i see that you offered up an honest answer to the OP @ #13, fair play to you for that.

 

others seem to be holding off for now, i can sense them straining at the leash.

[jamborory]

when do tickets go on sale anyway?

 

and does anyone know how much they'll be? because i'm a season ticket holder and i've been to every away game this season apart from one, so i should be safe shouldn't i?

Post nonsense and it is likely to be replied to!

 

As for your OP, it is a hard one to answer unless you are one of the fans you mention. FWIW, here is my stance.

 

Given all the faffing about "chasing" a manager, I didn't get a season ticket. I decided that until we were given a proper manager I would not return. When Laszlo was hired, the criteria that I personally had set myself had been fulfilled however I no longer had the spare cash for the season ticket. I decided that I would go to as many games as possible. For various financial and work based reasons, I have been to a handful of games this year, never, and I shall say it again for your benefit, NEVER have I had the cash and DECIDED not to go to a game. I would be interested to know why ANY fan chooses not to go on a match day however I cannot answer as I do not know anybody that is making such a stance.

 

Between now and the 10th of January I shall be working alternate Saturdays, meaning that if the game is on Sunday 11th I will try to get a ticket, either through my shares or my friends.

 

Good answer?

[Mouse]

an excuse for not following the team when we are not winning, these are the same fans who packed out tynie and every away ground for Vlads first season in charge when the team was riding high in the league and won the Scottish cup, i take it your priciples let you go to the cup final that season?

and Saturday was our biggest crowd of the season. and if we carry on winning even more will be back, so fans will only follow a winning team.

so even though Vlad was clearly picking the team towards the end of season 05/06 did your priciples allow you to go to the cup final? or did you just decide during a run of so many games without a win that you decided not to go back?

so your principals only kicked in only in when Vlads interference was hampering results, even though we all knew he was interfering from day 1?

[ChemicalJambo]

I never stopped going, but understand why many people did. Basically a lack of trust that amongst other things you'd get a team trying their best, being selected fairly and being any good.

Doesn't matter if Romanov or Csaba is picking the team, if we're playing good stuff and winning then more people will turn up to watch, nothing wrong with that.

 

It probably does the club good to see sales go down when they're dishing up a poor product, will force change
