Hearts sell 12,000 Season Tickets

[timewilltell]

Pretty good effort to be honest. Fair play.....

[cleanyman]

Strong backing.

[Gordy M]

Aye good for them, all the more enjoyable when that lot realise their team are garbage......and wint be anywhere near the top of the league.

[GoldenEagle]

Very impressive considering many are also paying direct debits

[jacomo]

Budgie's got tae get her money back somehow you know. You don't stay a multi millionaire by giving your money to basket cases with decrepit assets.

[MyJo]

Cant fault them for backing thier team and no doubt a sensible pricing structure for thier season tickets has gone a long way towards acheiving 12k.

[carnoustiehibee]

Eye, half of them will be the carers to help the inbreds blow their nose and wipe their arse.

If hibs are up near the top and playing good silky soccer well have more at games every week easy.

Who gives a ****, I'm sick of threads praising that shower of *****.

[SMAXXA]

:top marks

Fair play lay to them, especially given there's no more of a guarantee of the Potter and #youlldaewhatyertelt partnership being any more of a success than Stubbs. They have backed their club through the last we while and I applaud them for doing so.

[QMU-1875]

I believe if LD had lowered prices marginally a simmilair result would of been had. Poor decision from our board but can't help but feel positive about our coming season. Those yams will be sore come end of season when they ain't even close.

[sidjames]

Looks like we are the wee club right enough. Must have deeper pockets and a greater will to lend support. Or we've simply more fair weather fans and bottlers!?

[Baldy Foghorn]

This.......Could not care less if I tried.......Only interested in Hibernian.....

[Albanian Hibs]

Do we really need another one of these threads praising they mutants? Gives me the boak.

Right...that's it.

10...

Totally agree. I wouldn't post anythjng questioning their integrity either as some of our own don't like it for some reason.

[Lee]

Had a funny feeling this would get it's own thread when I read it earlier on, was hoping I'd be wrong.....

Couldn't disagree more - having spoken to loads of fellow supporters over 2 long evenings I am convinced it would have done no such thing.

Many who did not renew saying was not about the money and they could afford if they wanted to - but after so many disappointments (mild description) they needed to SEE real change and improvement before they would be back

Many many who either had jobs that had changed were not allowing them to make lots of / many games or were now playing football and other personal circumstances etc - cost was not the issue.

Only a small number cost was the major factor...and for those they were looking for substantial reduction before they would come back ----------- that was never going to be an option unless we wish to resign ourselves to many seasons in a lower league

[Ozyhibby]

They think they are going to win the league so their tails are up.
It's up to the people running Hibs to give us something to believe in. So far they are failing.

[Deansy]

It's going to take some time for the effects of 'playing within their means' to filter through - the 'Big-team' fantasy still exists among many of them.

[bingo70]

**** the hearts

When comparing their crowds to ours you need to remember the circumstances surrounding their relegation compared to ours, they went down winning games and celebrating the fact they've still got a club. We've been on a downward spiral for years getting one kick in the stanes after another.

I also think we made a mistake with the pricing structure, a refund of say £50 should have been offered to people who renewed, imo very few people would have taken the club up on this offer nut it would have allowed is to reduce prices for new st holders.

We chose to do nothing though, that's one of the reasons we have such poor numbers this season

[Broken Gnome]

This crap better stop when the league starts.

Both of us are here for completely different reasons. Not even worth a comparison. That's no one's fault but Hibs. An extra £50 quid off would nowhere near double our season ticket sales. They couldn't be more up themselves, us completely the opposite. Sod having a whole year of whimpering and wishing we had the experience Hearts are having.

[Brightside]

What a load of old guff. So there are at least 12000 puddle drinkers and one that can eat apples through a letter box. I couldn't care less.

Agree.

(Btw I wasn't saying £50 would double it but I think a gesture would have encouraged people to get one)

[Hibs Class]

Might be impressive but it's just yet another consequence of their cheating, and stealing. If they hadn't had their tainted successes of the last decade or so then there wouldn't be such a gullible army genuinely believing that they are a big team destined for greatness and so willing to throw money at it.

[Feed McGraw]

Who gives a ****, I'm sick of threads praising that shower of *****. I`m with you Lord, **** those ***** who wants to praise those ******* gets, its time for us to get real and stop praising those cheating *****. **** them.

[Brightside]

Again - exactly what have they done? They've not signed a single player i'd want in my team. Why Why Why do some of our fans have this mindset. Last season is long gone. Our kids are betters then theirs, our first team is better than theres.

The only reason we aren't selling many is because we are ***** and folk are pissed off.

Spot on LB. :aok:

[yankyhibby]

Out of curiosity, how many season tickets have we sold?

[MSK]

Best place for this thread ..

[Centre Hawf]

The fact its taken to the second page for someone to ask this question sums up the forum at the moment. Too many people want to bicker and slate the club without ever asking to see where were at.

Good for them .........

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

I'm sure if we had been days away from death, 3 Scottish cups on the back of years of cheating and an amazing derby record then we would be similar. Can't believe anyone would even try and compare our situations to be honest

[Ringothedog]

Out of curiosity, how many season tickets have we sold?

At least 2 that I know of. Hope that helps.

[ackeygraham]

Who gives a flying.......

[Dashing Bob S]

Of course they have - they are absolutely delighted to be in that League, while we are totally embarrassed about it. It's called the wee team mentality.

Well said. Charity thieves that they are....

And I believe if the powers that be shove the boat out first and have some faith that the support will respond then IMO, ST sales would take a big jump.
As it is, the same old "we need your money first" is falling on a lot of deaf ears, and that's no surprise given numerous let downs & false dawns.
