Hearts statement

[Johnny_Leith]

No mention of cup performance, wonder why 😂

[Lester B]

How badly written is this? It's awful. Don't they employ people in PR there who could at least proof read it? If nothing else to make it read well even though the content would still remain crazed nonsense?

What a mess our neighbours are in, fantastic juxtaposition with our own clubs fortunes.

Seems odd too with Budge's on field six month review that there is no mention of their Scottish Cup run?

I think you need to win at least two rounds in a cup before it can be described as a "run".

There's was more of a waddle.

And all on the day we announced 7500 season tickets sold. Shows how the tide has turned.

I canny wait til the knock down the potting shed, realise they're absolutely screwed for cash to throw up the new stand and are left with three tin cans and a building site round a tattie field

That's madder than anything that Mad Vlad McMad came up with.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Ian must have wrote that, or at the very least he's had a hand in it.

Aye, but you have to remember they'll still have a massive truss.

It's apparently how all big teams operate, we just can't understand .

[SuperAllyMcleod]

A "fundraising week" - so basically we've always managed to convince the fans to pay for everything in the past and we are going to do the same again for the stand. Come along and bring all the money you have!

I suppose it's better than borrowing it and not paying it back.

[gogsy23]

Am sure we both have agreements in place around this, both get full away allocation for stands.

Still haven't decided if they are offering season ticket holders in the Roseburn full tickets or if they'll move them for Cat A games. Basically Hibs may only get 1,500 tickets for Tynecastle next season.

Would hope we'd respond in kind with their allocation.

[Jonnyboy]

Was speaking to a staunch Jambo today and he told me that him and his mate are not renewing their season tickets, after 20 years of each having one. They also intend to cancel their FoH contributions. "Why?" I asked and was told they are fed up with the football, don't rate Cathro and are stinging in their criticiusm of his signings, hate Levein and perhaps most importantly, given the nature of this thread, they're sick of being continuously asked for more money.

I doubt they're alone

[calumhibee1]

I'm not reading that.

So in conclusion, Hearts fans can buy a season ticket in all four stands next season. However, for cup games they'll have to give away the whole stand if the other team wants it. So all season ticket holders will go into a lottery for a seat for these games, and there won't be enough seats for each season ticket holder. So if you pay £100 you're guaranteed the opportunity to buy a ticket, but the ticket is not included in that price. Is that correct?

I see the auld crow had budgeted for a fourth place finish. They'll be lucky if they scrape 5th so there's another x amount of cash they'll need to scrounge from somewhere. No millions but every little helps and that.

Hope the Gorgie branch of Lidl are stocked up on eggs, milk and icing sugar and their grannies have cleaned their pinnies.

I'd genuinely be mortified if my football club put out a begging note like that.

'Run' would be pushing it

Jogging briefly on the spot before running out of breath and limping home would be more accurate.

Thing is, if they'd marketed it properly they could have done it to build relations between the club, the players and the fans, much like a lot of the German clubs do.

Instead they've admitted to being skint and are trying to raise funds the way you'd expect a boys club to raise money.

Like with Vlad, it is only a matter of time before the whole Ponzi-like scheme unravels.

That statement was a masterpiece of obfuscation.

"Keep paying, boys and girls, and your investment will return untold riches".

Aye, right.

[Pretty Boy]

That's like something Hibs released 4 or 5 years ago when it was all starting/continuing to go wrong. 'Give us your money, we know what we're doing, if you don't give us your money we'll guilt trip you'.

I've said it before and I'll say it again Hearts are walking blindly down the same route we did for so many years. Long may it continue.

[West lower]

So, a season ticket holder in the old asbestos stand used to pay £300. They now plan to make the new stand the same as platinum / gold in wheatfield. That is £480. Then add the new rate of 6% on top. Just for good measure then ask them for £100 up front to book their own seat for cup games( might not get a home tie ) . I reckon the natives will be raging. That is all before the direct debits and the bob a job week that is lined up. Fun times ahead.

[Diclonius]

Not good reading for Hearts fans - literally and figuratively. Budge should have got someone to proofread that before she uploaded it, the overuse of ellipses is bizarre.

ST sales over here may well be higher than theirs next season. If Cathro stays in charge we'll definitely be more than a match for them and their entire season is defined by finishing above us/the derbies. Also, they still can't bring themselves to admit that the capacity of the new Tynie will be lower than ours.

Not a hint of frustration yet on Sickback. Truly brainwashed.

If I was cycling the clowns bicycle that is the yams I would just go for another share issue, that'll bring the cash rolling in.

"2.3 Construction Phase – Part 3 : Fit-out

Having built the structure of the new building, we must, of course, then do the fit-out. This will be done in stages as cash-flow permits."

So they don't have the cash in place, right now, to fund the monstrosity! And are fleecing fans even more to do so. Jeez

Apart from that hilarious take on the "statement" ..... it's a bl00dy long read, more like a short novel! All fiction mind.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Is the fundraising bit for Hutchison Vale or Hearts?

Embarrassing.

That stand's got the makings of the sequel to the Scottish parliament.
