In other ways, it isn't. But it is a positive marketing article designed to try and sell tickets. There is not one single way IN A FOOTBALLING SENSE, that we're in better shape than ever before. Not one. The ways in which we are in better shape than ever before all relate to off the pitch affairs - free strips / tickets for schools, marketing etc. Given that we are a FOOTBALL CLUB, i'd suggest that when the end product ON THE PITCH is arguably in the WORST shape its ever been in, the rest becomes irrelevant. I for oen couldnt really give a 5h1t if we're giving out free tickets to 7 year olds to be honest, and things like that definately do not make buying a season ticket a more appealing prospect - what i'm seeing on the park each week is of far more concern to me.....

exiledinnewcastle Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 As I said, I'm not usually cynical and in general I think the club are making positive moves in terms of marketing etc. but "I have faith in the setup at Tynecastle....etc" seems like a fed line to me. as someone said the guys put his money where his mouth is and renewed, fair play, not got a problem with that. To be honest, I'm not sure why I have a problem with it at all, it just doesn't seem right to me, the guy is either being fed the lines to quote or was a dream come true when he walked through the doors.

Colonel Kurtz Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Anybody who buys a ST before a new manager is appointed is doing the club a disservice. If Romanov gets enough mugs to do so,we will be stuck with Shaggy. He will wait to see if the fans take the crap being fed to them,and take the cheapest option. The best thing to do is not to renew until you are happy Romanov is not taking the pesh yet again. If you look closely at the photo ,you can actually see the beetroot soup stains round Roddys gob.

Craigieboy Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Not that I am confident that Rooddy actually said this, but it's a bit of a straw man argument is it not? Let's face it, things have been a lot worse than this. Ok then, so lets drag everybodys memories back to the bad old days of the 1st division or the pie man era. Very lame point to put across IMO. It means **** all to me that things have been worse than they are now. Does the fact that Hearts were once in the 1st division make them feel better about ruining our club & shafting the fans up the dirt box? ****ing lame. .

7628mm Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I find it interesting to see that he sits in front of the Wheatfield stand. Ladies and gentlement I give you our first new signing for the up and coming new management team. How much does a season ticket cost for a seat on the pitch?

JamboAl Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 It is generally acknowledged the club "is in better shape in many ways" and this relates mainly to our off the park set-up. To build a solid house you need strong foundations and we have these like we never had with CPR especially in sales and marketing. They will want a fair return on their investment which can only come from success on the park. I detect we are now moving in the right direction, although it's early days, towards rectifying the ills on the field. Ogilvie is in place, which is a good appointment, as managing Director. If he fulfils his remit soon to unveil a top manager who in turn brings quality coaching/scouting staff to complement the likes of Frail and John Murray then we may see better quality signings as well as the phased emergence of our most promising youths. If Ogilvie does not fulfil the commitment adequately, then a lot of the remaining goodwill of fans will disappear and it will be a long road back. Frail is doing a decent job but cannot be the answer as he appears to be short on the requisite coaching certificates. BTW I shall be renewing. I support Hearts. End of.

"I have faith in the set up" Well clearly there are still some taken in by VR and the regime. "In many ways the club has never been in better shape" Go on Roddy please enlighten us on this nugget of wisdom. "Lets face it. Things have been a lot worse" Now Roddy has been a season ticket holder for 12 years. In the last 12 years maybe he could enlighten us to when its been a lot worse. __________________ Hibernian FC Forever in Our Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
