Hearts have given Sevco up to 14k tickets for their game at Murrayfield. At £28 a pop, that's nearly £400k towards the new bus shelter "funding gap". Farce!

They have to pay rent to the SRU, they get nothing from the catering either. They will also have to pay for the stewarding and extra police.

I am stunned that plod are allowing this - the 3500 that normally come along are bampots already so whats it going to be like when there are another 10000 or the neanderthals, especially if they lose to Hearts???

They made more profit from the Aberdeen game than they would have done if it had been a normal game at Tynecastle, so if Rangers take 3 times as many fans this'll just increase their profit.

Doesn't matter how much profit they're making these cheating ****ers knew exactly what they were up to when they sold season tickets for there new super duper stand whilst all along knowing they would be using Murrayfield. They're at it. As much as I hate The Rangers fans I hope they avoid the game and it costs them thousands instead of making them thousands.

Frazerbob

No danger the additional near £400k will be swallowed up by costs. They are making a killing out these games at Murrayfield. 7000 extra fans at the Sheep game, could be up to 15000 extra fans at the Huns game. That's well over half a million in extra ticket sales. You're not telling me the SRU rent and a few extra security costs £250k per game. With the likelyhood that the NY Derby will be there added to all the other games, it's not rediculous to suggest they'll make £1m or there abouts from their monumental **** up. All very dubious IMHO.

The tickets for Murrayfield should have been capped at the capacity of Tynecastle (pre stand demolition)

it's an out and out piss take. Teams were stopped by SPL for groundsharing in order to avoid teams making more money in bigger grounds, or switching grounds to play the old firm/big cup games.

They should have been hit in the pocket for their **** up instead they are profiteering. Probably be the difference in them pipping some other team to a signing in January.

I'd be surprised if sevco took 14k to the game, but I guess they probably have a lot of fans in Edinburgh who wouldn't normally go to a game and will maybe go to this one out of interest/novelty value. As others have pointed out I'm surprised the police have given this the nod and one can only assume the policing bill will be a lot higher - which will hopefully eat into any profit Hearts might make.

The exploitation of their failure to get their stand finished on schedule by arranging only the most money-spinning fixtures at Murrayfield is nauseating and I wouldn't be surprised if the ongoing 'go slow' on that crappy stand they're building is designed to ensure their next 'home' derby is played at SRU HQ. Aside from a shortfall in cash what else would explain the snail's pace progress on what is essentially just a bog standard football stand?

So, Rangers and Aberdeen, two of our closest rivals this season, play Hearts at not only a neutral stadium, but have the backing of 7,000 fans in Aberdeen's case and up to 15,000 for Rangers, but as it stands right now, we have to play them in the more hostile environment of Tynecastle, with under 4000 fans and on a small, tight pitch. Only in Scottish Football would this be classed as fair sport, and why this was allowed to happen in the first place is just baffling.
Given that the rest of the clubs who agreed this were clearly lied to from Anne Budge, Hearts should now be instructed to play at least a full round of fixtures at Murrayfield in the interests of creating some sort of level playing field.

You are assuming we won’t be at Murrayfield on the 27th December.

I’d say there’s a strong chance that we can turn that fixture into another home game for us. Neutral at worst. People will go for the novelty value.

The heart and soul of Edinburgh must be cringiest tag line possible.

They sold their soul as a club with Vlad - then add that to all the businesses, charity and Heriot Watt who they bumped for cash.

The farce with the new stand and allowing potentially close to more away fans than home is embarrassing.

If this was Hibs I would be asking serious questions.

Genuine question. What happens if Hibs complain and say sorry but we're not prepared to play at Muddyfield?
I understand we agreed to changing venues but this was for originally several weeks not months, so does our agreement still stand or does it throw a spanner in the jambo's plans if we disagree to the game there?

if we did disagree to play there and game was at Tynie how many tickets would we get ( if any ) because they'd probably give all seats available to their ST holders? How many fans would be extremely peeved off by missing the game?

I care. Our main rivals are once again profiting from their own incompetence & dishonesty. Budge has stated that Yams made more profit out of Dons' game at Murrayfield than they would have made at PBS. The'll make much more than that from Sevco game. We're now fishing in the same pond as Yams. Every extra penny they make potentially gives them an advantage over us to attract players & yes I know we dodged a bullet with Laugherty. It's the "what does it matter" attitude that has allowed us to be screwed by the Council for decades while they continually receive favourable treatment. We played in front of reduced crowds while we upgraded our ground. They make a profit out of their shambolic project management. We almost lost our club because of their previous dishonest ambitions. Personally I hope our club is monitoring this situation & is prepared to take a stand (with no seats) if necessary.

I’m not. 7000 extra fans at Sheep game plus potentially 15000 extra fans at Huns game. 22000 x £28 = £616000 (less consesions) is where I got the circa half a million figure from 2 games.

Hearts know fine well what they are doing, they've robbed for years. Although murrayfield is a far bigger (and superior stadium to that rusting hulk across the road from it) hearts should be limited to what their stadium capacity is at tynie for ticket sales.

"Prepared to take a stand with no seats"?!? I'm aware that may be a play on words or something but are you serious?

Ultimately, if they are paying the full rental price for Murrayfield they are within their rights to flog oodles of tickets whether we like it or not.

They had plenty to say about some of the music gigs that went on there. Just not their type of fans. I seem to remember there were a huge number of complaints after one particular gig, think it was Oasis? Either way the residents around Murrayfield have not been slow to make their views known on occasion. 14.5k West Coast fans may just cause a curtain or two to twitch down Murrayfield way.

Exactly. For some reason the poster you quoted seems happy to turn the other cheek to almost anything. Hearts have made an almighty mess of this situation, and are using it to make some extra cash from it. I wonder if the apologists will be happy if they out bid us for a player in the January window, or finish a place above us due to recruiting players they otherwise might not have afforded.

Depends if it's 20k after season tickets. If not then I don't see why hearts would give the Huns so many tickets.

Money mate - she's said they're making money from the move to Murrayfield due to ticket sales and by need as much as they can get.

That's exactly why I think they're giving the Hun so many tickets, but someone said that the SRU were keeping all the money from sales over 20k.

The other possibility is that it's true that the SRU is keeping all the money for tickets over 20k and it's them that's decided on the away allocation. Hearts aren't really in a position to negotiate. I doubt that's the case if I'm being honest, but you never know.

So what if they get more money out of it, good for them.

We constantly hear about the Scottish game being skint yet there's a chance for a club to make a bit more cash, why shouldn't they take it?

Their rivals in the bottom six like Ross Co & Hamilton don't seem to have an issue with it. The only folk complaining are some Hibs fans. Surprising eh!!

What a very strange post!

For example, it's unlikely that there would be more than 20k for the St Johnstone game.... so no cash there.

Unless they (the SRU) are looking at it as a 3 game package.

But it’s the fact they are lying their ***** off to get extra cash that’s the problem. Are we now turning a blind eye to this as well? Maybe they could start getting players they can’t afford again after all no one seems to care. Not having a go at you but it’s this attitude that has allowed these clowns to get away with what they like for god knows how many years.

Budge has seen a chance to make some cash and has lied as per (she has history) usual. Statements to fans LIES statements to press LIES. But hey-ho its only a small amount!!

No argument from me on any of that.

Bear in mind that Hearts are more than capable of screwing everything up on a monumental scale all by themselves. Massive wages for the likes of Martin and Lafferty will ensure that they'll be skint for years to come whilst the rest of their stadium continues to rot.

I care. Our main rivals are once again profiting from their own incompetence & dishonesty. Budge has stated that Yams made more profit out of Dons' game at Murrayfield than they would have made at PBS. The'll make much more than that from Sevco game. We're now fishing in the same pond as Yams. Every extra penny they make potentially gives them an advantage over us to attract players & yes I know we dodged a bullet with Laugherty. It's the "what does it matter" attitude that has allowed us to be screwed by the Council for decades while they continually receive favourable treatment. We played in front of reduced crowds while we upgraded our ground. They make a profit out of their shambolic project management. We almost lost our club because of their previous dishonest ambitions. Personally I hope our club is monitoring this situation & is prepared to take a stand (with no seats) if necessary.


Where did she say this?

29-09-2017, 06:56 PM
They have known exactly what they have been doing from day 1 and if the authorities cannot see this then they are as corrupt as the yams.

What I will say is that the have LIED and LIED for years and after robbing charities and local businesses does this really surprise us??

At the end of the day they will have a stadium with a capacity of less than 20k and a new mega modern single tier main stand with restricted views that has cost in the region of £15 million quid to date. They will also borrow more should there be a need to do so.

They sold ST's for a ground that they knew wouldn't be ready and blame a mistake because their stand won't be ready... their mess they should be forced to play in front of 3 stands. Simple as that.

Cheats do prosper and this is plain and clear to see. Call it bitter call it seethe but as a club it shows that regardless who is in charge they always make excuses and try and con folk!

Pretty certain Scottish Rugby would have negotiated a fixed fee for the usage of their stadium. Would make sense rather than gambling on x amount of fans attending above a negotiated number.

See P149 of Yams stand thread. She also said it made financial sense to give Sevco fans up to 14,500 tickets so I'm afraid the comment about income over 20,000 attendance going to SRU cannot be correct.

29-09-2017, 07:37 PM
Jambo I know was telling me that Hearts only make money on the first 20k seats sold , agreement wih Murrayfield is anything over 20k goes direct to the SRU .. He seemed pretty sure of his info to be fair ..

Cannot be true based on what Budge said at Shareholders'meeting. Also wouldn't make sense to give your opponents extra seats if you weren't getting any income from them.

They had plenty to say about some of the music gigs that went on there. Just not their type of fans. I seem to remember there were a huge number of complaints after one particular gig, think it was Oasis? Either way the residents around Murrayfield have not been slow to make their views known on occasion. 14.5k West Coast fans may just cause a curtain or two to twitch down Murrayfield way.

Really? I lived in Roseburn Crescent, not many houses closer to the stadium than mines, and we were never consulted about gigs that were going to be at murrayfield.

It could be that there is a set fee, plus an extra charge per fan over 20,000.

That would explain both Budge's comment about cashing in on the Aberdeen support and the bit about the 20k limit.

That could be an explanation but why would there then be a ceiling on the limit as the SRU would be looking to maximise their potential income from numbers above the 20 000. Its certainly speculative and calls for a degree of belief, not saying you're wrong just whats likely thats all mate.

I don't get it; we laughed at the delays that meant they couldn't play at tynie and now cry foul cause they're making money? I think given the choice, they'd be playing at tynecastle all season - that hasn't happened and their making good use of the situation. Hopefully it helps others get points off them - people are dreaming if they think we'll end up streaks ahead of hearts at the end of the season.

The heart and soul of Edinburgh must be cringiest tag line possible.

They sold their soul as a club with Vlad - then add that to all the businesses, charity and Heriot Watt who they bumped for cash.

The farce with the new stand and allowing potentially close to more away fans than home is embarrassing.

If this was Hibs I would be asking serious questions.

Such a cheap club with no morals - no heart and no soul !

They stole that from the Scarlets I suppose, and ironic the rugby connection :wink:

We laughed because we knew it wouldn’t be ready. Some now are pissed as it’s clear this was planned from the start. All the lies in Ann Budgets statements recently or did I imagine them? They should have been playing in front of 3 stands simple as that.

In all honesty I'm not bothered what the Yams do during their stay at Murrayfield ..... The SPFL have sanctioned their use of the place and they would be daft not to take advantage of the chance to raise as much money as possible. Yes there is a point of view that the extra money could be an advantage to them on the pitch, but when you consider they spent over 50 million quid and only managed two Scottish cups I cant say I'm exactly quaking in my boots at the prospect. :greengrin
