Bob, outside of the financial gurus on this thread you are easily my favourite poster (honorable mention to Bajillions) your ability to jump on the slightest bit of Yammery and slice it to ribbons is thoroughly entertaining.Quote:

Keep it up. On the phone so can't put in a relevant emoticon.
They've made a rod for their own back. If they don't continue the high sales figure, they're implying the fans don't give a ****. If they do, they'll hit '3000' in no time, and the fans wont purchase as its job done.
Well played BDO.
The VERY best outcome for them is that they come out of administration with a viable backer and retain Tynecastle, right?
But wait a minute, unless its a white knight with oodles of cash and willing to go ahead without looking for a return for the foreseeable future, they are going to have to cut their cloth.
In this instance, FACT is, they are exactly 23 years behind us. We have a new stadium, we have our own training ground and we have a manageable debt. 23 years it took us ladies!
Fact is, 23 years boys and girls is a LONG time. We were there (well almost) and have had to swallow their bile for 23 years when they patently couldn't afford what they were doing.
I actually DO hope the best case scenario for them happens, I want to see their faces when we absolutely PUMP them when they, at long, long last have to play by the rules.
I just came round by Mcleod Street. No problem parking , so I stopped off and took a wonder into their ticket office/shop.
Queue of about 20 with 2 of a staff serving at the windows. I pretended to be sizing up a Yam garden gnome, but really watching what was happening with ticket sales.
Sure one or two seasons were bought with large wads of cash but quite a few sales were for what looked like single match ticket sales and only a couple of notes being handed over.
I'll go back this afternoon for further look at the Gnome.
I don't think the Gnomes of Zurich will be able to save this lot. :greengrin
The words go to the Ode to Joy. :wink:Quote:

Interesting. Especially since I literally just recieved the following textQuote:

Jiang Qing, the leading figure of the group, and her close associates Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan, and Wang Hongwen.Quote:

It defies belief as a question, comes across as either a pointless dig at Hibs, or throwing a bone to the 5-1 brigade.Quote:

Don't buy newspapers and no plans to change that. The Sports parts certainly gave up on journalism along time ago.
Don't disagree it's a stupid question but I think it might have been used as a link to the "Was it worth it?" question. Which is quite a good one.Quote:

GTF - pull the plug.
Mine was going to Tynie for the first time aged 14, was called a "Fenian *******". The behaviour of the fans has just gone down hill. Especially those tw@s in the asbestos stand nearest the away end.Quote:

I don't see why you'd need a link in, plus essentially asking, 'what was harder, winning a football match or dealing with your club facing liquidation?' is one of the most pointless questions ever conceived!Quote:

C'mon Petrie...sort this out:grr:
Incidentaly, how much do the gnomes retail at?

I wonder if the work has been completed (beyond the paint)? Anyone knows who issues such safety certificates and if related reports are FOI able?
Switch off the defibrillator. :agree:Quote:
