In your wildest dreams did you ever think it would get so bad for the Yams ?, i voted for them to disappear off the face of the earth but what is happening now might be even better !. As the season progresses it could get to the point of their season becoming farcical if it's not already.
Was speaking to a ****bo tonight who reckons McDonald would not sign for Hibs as he is a huge Jambo. He also doesn't rate him.
Administration was on the cards for a good while before it actually happened so yes I did think it would get this bad. Indeed I was also hoping for a lot worse ie. liquidation, but I suppose I can settle for seeing them struggle in this manner. As long as it lasts for a long, long timeQuote:

I thought BDO were supposed to be protecting revenues, not destroying them. They truly are in the ****.

JKB and Hearts have once again got together to offer members the chance to win hospitality tickets, this time for the game against Partick Thistle on Sunday, January 5th. and the tickets include:
Arrival at 12:30 pm
Drinks reception
Chance to meet former players
Prime seating in the Gorgie Suite hospitality area
Betting available in Suite
Half time refreshments including pies, tea and coffee
Pre-match meal with wine, tea and coffee
Complimentary bar throughout the day
Man of the match presentations
Suite closes one hour after full time
Initially, there are five prizes of a pair of hospitality tickets on offer....Because this game is a 2-for-1 offer, these packages would cost £75 per person...if enough interest in raffle tickets, more prizes will be added to the draw. If raffle ticket sales are higher than 155, then for every complete 31 sold after that an extra prize of a pair of hospitality tickets will be added to the draw....Tickets are a fiver each
Raffle ticket sales will close on Saturday, 28 December at 9 pm UK time......The draw will take place shortly after that.
Ulysses, on 26 December 2013 - 12:57 AM, said:
66 members have bought 100 tickets and raised a total of £500 so far.
Entries close on Saturday December 28th at 9 pm UK time.
Reported attendance was 13,684. I've just been told it was actually just over 10,000.
shoooorly this cant be trueQuote:

They count season ticket holders even if they don't show up (Celtic do this as well).Quote:

Yup, my brother's a Yam ST holder and he (with a few others) went off to play snooker instead!Quote:

And isn't it likely that some season ticket holders bought more than one ST? One at the usual time and then another when BDO revealed Vlad had run off with the money? So there has to be an element of double counting in the 10.5k figure too.Quote:

The worrying aspect for them is the lack of walk ups and the good work Locke is doing ripping the support apart and making them painful to watch :greengrin
And to think they have a congratulatory thread to themselves over by on getting 13000 yesterday, and not one dissenting voice. Truly deludedQuote:

MacDonald isn't that good a keeper if you ask me. His positioning for a lot of goals is bad.
But from what I'm hearing Big Ben won't be going anywhere.
Thats great news if what you are hearing is correct. :aok:Quote:

Sounds promising TC. :-DQuote:

Many years ago all teams under-declared crowds as a tax dodge. Often sell-out crowds at Darkhead were reported as 5,000 less.Quote:
