Horse Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Maybe one day Berra, Drive, Wallce, Elliot () and Johnson will be mentioned in the same breath as Robbo, Bauld and Walker.

magicTs Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The bit I nearly choked on was the irony of the first 'story' in the opening paragraph - After a mediocre start to the 1948-49 season Hearts' manager Davie McLean combined young forwards Willie Bauld, Alfie Conn and Jimmy Wardhaugh for the first time. The combination of Wardhaugh's dazzling dribbling and non-stop running, Bauld's cerebral play and prodigious aerial ability, and Conn's energetic, tenacious style and powerful shooting perfectly complemented each other. By the end of their first match as a three-pronged attacking line, East Fife had been defeated 6-1. And Hearts' 'Terrible Trio' was born. I really really hope this was not in reference to our forwards last Saturday. God help us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gowestjambo Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think the club should be reported to the Avertising Standards Agency, now I know advertising usually stretches the truth a bit, but come on - has there ever been a worse case of trying to fool the paying customer?

Hagar the Horrible Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Great engraved into the echelons of our vast history! Elliot - Mole and Miko, the "Really Terrible Trio" A Partnership that strikes dread into the wallets of those who have paid to see them! Or to steal from our Hobo siblings: The "Infamous Five" by adding Zal and Beni to the former number? As the peaks and troughs of our epochs go /\____/\__/---\____ and we are at a low ebb will we ever see the day when we can honestly field our strongest team and have 11 guys willing and good enough to play for the jersey?

Can't believe they put this in the Season Ticket ad. Anyone who believes this should get their coat now. Berra could go on to be one of our best centre halfs (halves?) in years. Driver, although going through a sticky spell, looks like being a great winger. Wallace I believe will be a really good left-mid and Johnson has the ability to be another great midfielder. OK, Elliott is maybe stretching it a bit but apart from that can't see any problem in their statement. Nowhere do they say that these players are greats, just that maybe one or more might turn out to be. Lets face it, more and more posters on this site have only one aim. To critiscise Hearts at any and every opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, how about credit for reducing our season ticket prices if booked early. Even after the offer period, my season ticket is the same price as this season so surely some credit for that??? (I know, they would have a bit of a brass neck if they tried to increae the prices after the season we have had but still, surely a wee bit of credit due).

laranjinha Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hearts marketing is totally cringeworthy these days. And they've also missed out the following on the brochure: "This year we won't offer an Away ST so we can charge you an Admin charge every time you queue up at the Ticket Office to buy a ticket for Hearts away matches".

Gibbo Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 As an aside with some relevance to recent events, my Dad knew Davie McLean & met him on the morning of a match. The directors had made 2 changes to the team that McLean had selected. He was going to confront them & demand full control of team selection or else he would leave. He didn't leave & the next match was the 6-1 win over East Fife in which the Terrible trio first played together for the 1st team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
