No chance, this is now the 3rd time they've said "buy Season Ticket's or we're buggered". They need to sell that many just to make it to the first fixture. That also means that all the season ticket money will have been used before a ball has been kicked. This is brilliant news IMOQuote:

3000 STs to save an immediate plunge into liquidation.
Seems like either way they are completely ******. Shame. Newco now would be the best option from a yam point of view. Although, I hope they sell the STs, get humped silly in every game and get the fans tired of pumping cash into it before they go pop.
They also won't get these sold AND have people pay cash to FOH.Quote:

No change in prices of season tickets either.
So, they get another 14 days to get themselves with heads just above the water.
Oh dear...tick tock...
League may well say now that there is no guarantee of fulfilling fixtures. That's what happened to Livi in SFL.
That was great viewing!!!. Going to be a very interesting couple of weeks ahead!!
I am in the middle.Quote:

Certainly doesn't feel like a con trick to me. It's light years away from the Rangers situation. Indeed, I worked with Bryan J years ago, and he is a very capable and honourable guy.
Not immediate. Haven't spoken to players yet. Probably on holiday.Quote:

It was clear though that buyers will have to meet the costs for the season, pay the admin fee and give UKIO value for their stadium. Can't see it.Quote:

Not quite, they reckon 3000 STs will buy them 3-4 months. I reckon they'll survive easily, he doesn't even seem to have begun to factor in the bake sales yet. :confused::greengrinQuote:

3000 is doable? IMO I reckon so. Now the fans know their money is going to the club and not Lithuania I think they will be prepared to stump up the money. Yet again fans blackmailed into bailing out the club. Shocking really. I think they will pull through.
I know its a rangers song but I always quite liked the tune:
Every other Saturdays their half day off
And it's off to the shops they go
Sadly they wander down the Multrees Walk
The wife and kids in tow
They hate to see the lassies with their green scarfs on
They hate to hear the hibees roar
But I don't have to tell you that the most of all they hate to hear the Hibees score
Me oh me oh me oh oh my oh how we love to see them cry
They've been to B&Q about a thousand times
Their cardigans are all new
They've forgotten all about the times of 5-1
and counting to 1902
They hate to see the lassies with their green scarfs on
They hate to hear the hibees roar
But I don't have to tell you that the most of all they hate to hear the Hibees score
Me oh me oh me oh oh my oh how we love to see them cry
The body language said it all. They are donald ducked.
Really want them to make the first derby.
Our goal for that game should be to hit double figures, I reckon we can do it.
I think a CVA will very likely be finalised and new owners will have a debt free club with or without a stadium.Quote:

While i still share that fear with you, have to say i am more optimistic after hearing that. It seems to me that they are workign for the interests of the Liths more than i had hoped, and more than the media spin here would have had us all beleive.
Seem to basically be telling the fans that if they can keep things going by coughing up yet again, then they can prepare the club to be sold (at an acceptable level - i read that as securing good value for Liths). In other words, the fans pay-out so the Liths get their pound of flesh. Hopefully that means the Liths arent bewing quite as accomodating as they had all hoped.
I have never known a more obsequious, suppine bunch of spineless welts as Hearts fans. Cough up so the important men in suits can keep things going a bit longer and more important men in suits can get their cash. Brilliant.
If it were me, i would be keeping my money and efforts and preparing for the new club. If that means losing the ground and starting agasin at the bottom well then thats the price to be paid - at least there would be some dignity in that and they might be able to earn back some respect and credibility. Better that than pouring more money into the Lith black hole.
But they will comply, because their self-perpetuated big club myth will be shattered otherwise, and to start at the bottom would require some humility, something they completely lack. Their identity has become so interwoven with the hubris and cringey disrespect of the Romanov era. And because important men in suits have told them to. Like i say, they are spinless welts.
They claim it was all worth it, but now it comes to settling-up, they are too scared to pay the price.
Why the hesitation? If it was all worth it, why not just pay the price and start again? Nothing can take away or sour those ill-gotten memories. Or can it....??
Given one of them whispered "Say Yes" when asked if the club can survive, I don't think all is rosy. BDO wouldn't get any more work if they liquidated them today. Language used and the tone tells me they're knackered.
If they can sell 3000 in two weeks old ones will be honoured.Quote:

Maybe wait and see if they are getting remotely close to their target first though.
:greengrin
I wonder how much derby tickets will be at the Hibs end, and how quickly Rod will hand over the money to them?
