Fivers in brown bags this week if they manage to cobble together enough to pay everyone :tee hee:

How's this for desperation..........

I'm sure lots of people on the season ticket waiting list will be snapping them up :greengrin

Our gates are rising and they're resorting to giving tickets away to try and get enough cash together to pay their staff.

Dearie me.

[Sergey]

What an oxymoronic comment this is: "We pay the VAT....."

[Cool_Hand_Luke]

This is the way big teams operate :agree:

[Hibercelona]

I wouldn't take any of their "merchandise" if I was paid too.


I don't know how anybody could want any of that stuff. :jamboak:

Desperate times in Gorgie toon indeed.

Latest fire sale at 'wereinsolvent.com'

Domain name for sale if anyone wants it? :greengrin

Can you have apostrophes in domain names? 'wereinsolvent.com' suggests that the insolvency is in the past - certainly not the case down Swiney, so it would have to be either 'we'reinsolvent.com' or 'weareinsolvent.com.

And with that, I'm away for a pedantry ham shank.

[Judas Iscariot]

Can someone PM me a valid username for iscrubmymommasback.com to have a gander please :wink:

[jakedance]

Apparently the away top features Umbro's unique climate control technology. Whatever the **** that means.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Cash flow problems (again) I am guessing.

[truehibernian]

Climate control technology :dizzy: maybe that is just for Nade, as he alone has his own microclimate. Under his arms would probably be classed as rain forest and he certainly looks like he has a huge hole in his ozone :agree:

Stupendous!!!!!!!!:greengrin I noticed this on the electronic track side advertising on Saturday and thought to myself they really must be struggling to pay the wages this month. That and Vlad being back to rally the players. It cant be long now. :agree:

[Peevemor]

Watch out for their 2010-2011 season tickets going on sale (at about £5 each) before the December wages are due for payment. :cool2:

[IWasThere2016]

I give them to the end of next season in the SPL.

Either they'll be relegated or, more likely, they'll go into administration. Bye bye Jambos! :greengrin

[Auckland Hibs]

Tick...... tock ..... :bye:

What happens if the sell 10,000 shirts = 20,000 tickets?

The trouble is that wereinsolvent.com suggests that they "were" insolvent but not anymore.

Can I suggest weareinsolvent.com or wearereallytrulybuggered.co.uk as an alternative

EDIT: Damn, I just noticed another serial pedant beat me to it last night.

Dont you know they have build a 51million stand and that holds 40,000?
oh wait:rolleyes:


Anyhow as somone has said why are they advertising st jonestone tickets?

IIRC didn't hearts say they always sell tynie out and have a waiting list for season tickets?Or did i dream that(its a good possibility that i did)


or have i missed something?

:agree:

I'm half tempted to go to the Yams / St. Johnstone game, only problem is that it is kicking off at stupid o'clock due to the rugby (good scheduling guys). If I do decide to go, it looks like I'd be better off buying a Yams away top and giving it to a charity shop.

I am certain there is a UN resolution regarding the proliferation of Hearts tops.
Can I suggest you buy the top, wipe your arse on it and then set it on fire ?

Thanks

As someone has suggested ... buy the top .. go to the game .. take it back to the shop on the Monday still sealed in the bag and ask for a full refund.

The tickets are advertised as "free" (ie no monetary value) so not having them to return shouldn't leave you liable for additional charges.

They themselves are the biggest charity case in town; so surely you mean buying the strip, then handing it straight back to them :devil:

That's excellent. Hopefully a few yams will cotton on to that wee scam.

[Woody1985]

If the goods aren't faulty they're not obliged to give the money back. They can give you store credit as a good will gesture but would still get your money.

Saying that, being a Hearts top, they would be faulty. :greengrin

[Danderhall Hibs]

I give them to the end of next season in the SPL.

Either they'll be relegated or, more likely, they'll go into administration. Bye bye Jambos! :greengrin

I don't think they'll go into administration. Wouldn’t that mean that Vlad has to hand over control to some accountant or other? He’ll never do that IMO – they’ll just go bust.

[Hibercelona]

The tickets are advertised as "free" (ie no monetary value) so not having them to return shouldn't leave you liable for additional charges.

Will they not also have to refund the difference with the added 15% VAT on?

After all... The "We pay the VAT" deal was only for 1 day. :wink:

[Big Frank]

Steady lads. They've won the Scottish Cup.:agree:

[mjhibby]

It really is desperate to give away two tickets just to sell a shirt.I bet vlad cant wait till january to sell wallace and get some money in.Mind you they will be wanting a big crowd for the relegation battle against the super saintees.Come on the saintees.:thumbsup:

In fact, the one product that really stood out, and would make the idea stocking-filler for any Hearts fan this Christmas is the brand new 'Official Heart of Midlothian Quiz Book'. With an astonishing 1,000 quiz questions on The Famous, it is both interesting and informative, and would give hours of fun for all the family or even lonely people."

Oh ma sides, i bet one of the questions is guess the debt come AGM time.
I wonder if he was meaning Victorian when he mentioned lonely people.

I have to agree that sounds like desperation but they did same last year pre christmas. Actually good deal for supporters but not those with season tickets which is wrong. I have to comment on the above review. This poster is am author who wrote 2 miles a hearts book and who wrote the quiz book too:)

[Bad Martini]

In light of todays bad bad news for our friends in the royal blue, it is with great sadness and heavy heart I find myself thinking its a real shame that 2 of Scotlands finest old institutions might be looking on really hard times, possibly even their very survival.

Maybe they should have a "merger" ??? Think I'll call Davey and Vladdy and suggest they team up, roll their collective teams together and lets see if they can make a super force to be reckoned with...

...or would they just have £70 million of debt :greengrin :devil: :faf: :thumbsup:
