The People's Chimp Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Really pleased with that. The strips have been good quality, and this seasons home top was just a few minor details away from being an all time classic. Hopefully a few tweaks could see next season's up in there with the cup final top from 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamboRobbo Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Excellent news. Have been waiting on two positive commercial announcements for a couple of months now. One more to go.

UB are throwing money away by putting their name on our strips. excellent bit of news to follow on from Saturdays "feel good" effect. I also hope that its external money coming in, after all, no sign of the new bank opening in Edinburgh just yet. Only thing that makes me think it could still be UB is that if we secure Europa spot, they will want that prime advertising position. Or maybe not! Come on Campbell, let us know.

Although, not sure that announcing who's gonna be making our strips next year is quite what I had in mind as particularly important. Perhaps if known about a couple of months ago by CO, then it would've been (in context) more important given the ****** ups with the players wages and increased press and fan hysteria regarding administration, cash flow etc etc. A major company willing to invest in Hearts at that time would have been good news. Why it wasn't mentioned sooner though I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol1874 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hard to find a negative here, thank goodness there is someone to keep us right. We get good news, we should have had it sooner. There may be more good news, we should have it now. Mind you, if the club announced something prematurely and it fell through, the criticism would justify another 2 thousand posts saying the same thing.

The Old Tolbooth Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I don't believe this for a minute, surely Umbro wouldn't commit to a 3 year deal when according to hobonomic esperts we're going to go bust before the end of the year!

Don't forget the hobos of the North, Abahrdeen FC, 'yer going bust' chant on Saturday had to be the very definition of the pot calling the kettle, as I'm sure they don't actually own their own ground now and could be hoofed out of Peetodire in the next coupla years.

Possibly a discount on the away if you buy the home (or vice versa). That said, I think my youngest boy gets pretty decent value out of his, it's either in the washing machine or on his back.

No matter what Hearts do some people won't be happy. Hopefully there will be some bad news to salivate over shortly eh? Negativists on here are peed off because we won on Saturday and it's therefore inappropriate to blame VR for the team selection. So they are struggling to get the bile out of their systems. If this deal is worth ?10m they will say we shouldn't have signed for any less than ?15m; if it's for ?15m they will reckon it should have been ?25m. Maybe they could enlighten us about the next commercial deal. For example what do they think that deal ought to be and how much should we get from it?

Francis Albert Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Why it wasn't mentioned sooner though I don't know. I don't know either, but since both the timing and content of the announcement obviously had to be agreed with Umbro, the delay may not be down to Hearts. After all, while a (reasonably) big deal for us it is unlikely to have been near the top of anyone's in-tray at Umbro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 it was in the scotsman a while back. either two weeks or few weeks. either way, he didn't say 2 months. here what was actually said: Two "positive and major commercial partnerships" are due to be announced within the next few weeks; on the field, Ogilvie wants to see Hearts play in front of average crowds of 20,000 at the new Tynecastle, regularly featuring in Europe while having the possibility of "pipping" the Old Firm. A key to all of these aspirations, he insists, is stability. looking at what it said again, only positive an major commerical partnerships are in quotation marks, so it may not have been a few weeks that Oglive said, oonly what Ewan Murray understood from what Campbell said.

Guest JamboRobbo Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Did he say two weeks? I think he said "few weeks" but I'm not 100% certain. It was certainly put accross that it was a couple of weeks away, rather than a couple of months. Either way it's not worth arguing over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
