Really what is the obsession with various clubs attendance. Whether they lie or not when announcing attendance it doesn't alter the true figure and the amount of money they actually take on the day.
As far as I can see there is no benefit to be made from manufacturing numbers so let them lie to themselves if they want. Why care?:cb
I'm the first to knock their fantasy attendances, however I watched the full game on Alba last night and it certainly looked busier than the game against Partick. The asbestos stand was busier certainly, however that must only hold a couple of thousand. Frustrating that you never see the stand opposite the shed as I'm convinced that's where numbers will be dropping off the most.
3pm Sat ko might have encouraged more folk as opposed to the precious few games.
Also, maybe BDO will start reporting more realistic attendances so they can use 'falling attendances' as one of their pishy arguments against the SFA/SPFL/Whoever will listen to them
Below the line is getting quite lively on this... Ewan Murray defending himself (and the half wits at Hearts) against some sound questioning of his logic.Quote:

It is clubs, rather than Scottish football's battle-weary administrators, who would resist such progress towards open book-balancing and financial fair play. Transparency remains worryingly rare despite horror tales from the past.
What a clown. Not to mention his dig at Michael Stewart and Graeme Spiers for criticising "easy target" Gary Locke. Embarrassment of a journalist.

SYMPATHY for the plight of Hearts and their attempt to get a transfer embargo lifted continues to be thin on the ground, even among their own supporters.
He got his ass handed to him here as well when he claimed Hearts had only exceded 100% wages/turnover once during Romanov's tenure when it was 5 years on the bounce, sandwiched between two in the ninetie's. Pretty basic error's really.Quote:

Its also reassuring to notice how much the Yams are looking forward to competing in the Championship next season. This is maybe just as well as they could be there for a wee while, as long as they don get relegated that is. Then I suppose League One will be the place to be.
They are sounding more and more like huns with each post.Quote:

Tragic story. So sad to hear about the young family's loss.
I believe this sad episode is more a breakdown in communication or bad admin and nothing more sinister!
Misleading headline as well as it wasn't Hearts it was Zebra finance.Quote:

I'm not sure even if Hearts did have a board of directors that they would be able to cancel the Direct Debits anyway as it's all dealt with by Zebra Finance. This story seems like a poor situation for those involved but that the Sunday Post have puffed up to make it seem a lot worse than it actually is.Quote:

Bailiffs aren't anywhere near as common in Scotland as they are down south because they have little authority up here.
