Isn't it sooo satisfying to know that the Hibs, and all connected to this great club, take up quite a bit of the posts on Croakback.... Have a butchers over on the dark side at this posting, they really are sad. :faf::faf:
YAMS..... GIRFUY.
Hibs @ home
They are absolutely over the moon the Ryan McGowan will be donating about £1000.
Lucky if that was even a days wage from when he was at hearts.
Only 2990 season tickets to sell then.anything else happened today? i've missed all the news.Quote:

Wildly off-topic, but is he any relation to the John Pelosi who played for St J's in the 70s/80s?Quote:

They need a tardis to go back in time to the points where they started to **** up their finances.
That would cause a paradox. Crossing into established events is strictly forbidden :tsk tsk:Quote:

a tiny wee part of me starts to feel sorry for the yams, as growing up in Edinburgh with many decent yam mates etc makes me dwell how it was good fun and banter. I'd even meet yam mates after a derby, regardless how it went.
then u read comments like this walloper, that is standard of their support now... and well, good riddance you horrible horrible club.
I feel 'mislead' by Hearts too. They always gave me the impression that they were a well-run, financially prudent outfit, who balanced the books and paid the wages on time. I believed that they were run by committed, smart, professional people.
Utterly shocked at what's come to pass.
Easy to see how Wilson could have been duped.

It is strange that there has been no coverage of this. Two key issues:Quote:

Since then nothing.
2) What assurances were Hearts able to give about fulfillment of their fixtures next season? If none then what responsibility to the SPL have to ensure the integrity of the league?
Wonder if the Yams payment plan method will be voided and purchasers refunded their cash?

Absolutely no chance of that nowadays
There was always a big crowd of us who went to new year games, more or less 50-50 in terms of support and we always went out at night cos we were all mates
Sadly,lost touch with most of them but would never happen now
Also my feelings towards Yams have really changed over the years and is now verging toward absolute disdain and yes, loathing towards most of them
However, one of my best mates is a Yam, and a sensible one, his attitude is one of resignment and he's def not a 1-5 1902 glad it happened anyway brigade
However, he might not like the T-shirt I have planned for when a there's a few of us going away for my bus pass birthday :-)
A dialogue has been opened but no official meetings have been held yet. Things generally go slower in the off season, plus there is a lot of work to be done for reconstruction. The administrator is not able to make a judgement at this stage as they have only been in for 2 full days. A meeting about the non payment of wages would also be moot at this stage because a) it's still ongoing, they might not be paid next month either and b) they are under sanctions for being in admin, those may last considerably longer than any sanctions for missing a wage.Quote:

Go on the merchant services and Zebra Finance both of which I bet are owed a few quid since administration day!
Just out of interest, can you mind at what point and why things changed? (Both sets of fans standing together etc)Quote:

Looks like they are well on their way
Hearts sell 500 extra season tickets in 24 hours as fans rally round
http://www.heraldscotland.com/u/u/he...und.1371833890
Hearts say they have sold an extra 500 season tickets in the 24 hours since administrators urged fans to rally to the stricken club's cause.
A steady stream of supporters were seen entering the Tynecastle ticket office for most of the day. Administrators BDO had warned that they needed to sell an extra 3,000 season tickets to help keep the club alive without a "fire sale" of players.
Jambos fans have been challenged to hit their target within the next 14 days if they are to plug an immediate funding gap of up to £750,000.
The club, who are £25million in debt, wrote on their official Twitter account this evening: "Ticket Centre reports 500 STs sold in 24 hours! What an effort! Keep going folks."
Fans on the Jambos Kickback supporters' website also raised £13,000 through donations today.
Kenny Hogg from Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, was one of the fans who acted after joint-administrators Trevor Birch and Bryan Jackson made it clear the club would not survive without the help of the Hearts faithful. He said: "I had a ticket last season but was swaying on whether or not to renew this season. I wasn't too keen on the regime in charge and was getting fed up with them. "But the statement from the administrators yesterday convinced me to come down and renew. In fact, three of my friends made the same decision so I'm down today paying all four of us up. "I'm still optimistic that we have got a good chance of survival but I thought I should do my bit. I'd feel guilty if I didn't."
Edinburgh couple Robert and Shona Campbell have also bought tickets.
Robert said: "We saw the statement by the administrators yesterday and decided then we had to sign up again. "It's quite a scary situation and we don't know if we are going to come through it or not. Hopefully if everyone buys a season ticket or donates in some way, we will pull through. "It's been dire recently with the money situation and now administration. You never knew what was going to happen next.
"Now it's all hands to the pump. The team on the pitch won't be what we're used to but that's not the point. If we have to take some short-term pain to make sure we have got a club at the end of it, then we'll live with that."
Surely they'll need 3000 adult full price season tickets sold.You'd have though most of the 7000 sold already would be almost all the jambo adults.
Doubt 3000 jambospawn season tickets would raise very much.
It really does look bleak.
bleak-without hope
Am I the only Hibee with no Jambo relations, no Jambo mates and the Jambo aquaintances I know are the irritating at best detestable at worst? Oops forgot I have one school friend who's decent. So I guess I just disqualified myself ;)
I have the pleasure of working RIGHT beside the bus shelter and I thought I would take periodic checks on the Gorgie road situation as one needs to get home on time to walk ones dog. I was worried that the congestion caused by the sheer number of Hearts Fans might hinder my progress to walking my lovely Hibs related named dog and a pint might be hindered.
I can now report that the line of people waiting at the Tiny ticket office was absolutely NON EXISTENT. All day, end of.
Roaster (i.e. thems) has been used a few times on this forum.
I suggest a game of conkers.
'Danny Wilson would rather be black than sign for Hibs' was a comment I read from a Hearts fan today.
And they expect us to have sympathy for people like this?
My best mate (yam) came to visit end of April. Said to him that things look bleak for them (though even at that stage, nothing looked as bad as it is now, granted)...his response? "I'd be worried about Hibs"Quote:

anyway, they have turned into what they have and quite frankly I am even surprised how much I now hate them, but what option do we have.
BTW I was in the yams end when we ended 22 in a row, even then I heard "we shouldnt be losing to wee teams like Hibs"... so it aint completely a new mentality.
500 is a decent effort, will be interesting to see that number after the weekend as I think if you were going to buy you would have either bought today or will be buying over the weekend. If they are at 1,000 by start of next week then they will struggle for 3,000. Shame.
