    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.




    YAMS..... GIRFUY.

    Maybe Peppa will fly?

    And hopefully Minnie goes and brings Mickey. He can bring his new timepiece. Apparently he has a Gary Locke watch.
    Unless Mickey Mouse is there with Disney's official say-so, they're breaking intellectual property laws - but I know no-one here would grass them up.

    Guy on twitter macro pelosi is the first ex hearts player to come out and start slating the system. I'm sure there will be a lot more to follow.

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

    anyone see waspy100 comments on the scotsman story? (directors sacked one)

    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.

    I thought BDO were meeting the SPFL today - anyone heard anything about it?

    All the league need to ask is "Can you guarantee you will fulfil your fixtures next season?" and it's goodbye yams.
    For all the drivel about Hearts fans knitting cardigans to punt to other idiots to raise cash, there's been absolutely hee haw from anyone connected to the league about what the status is for next year.
    It is strange that there has been no coverage of this. Two key issues:
    1) When is the disciplinary hearing for non-payment of wages? The SPL press release (still available on its website) dated 14th June states "The actions [i.e. non-payment of wages] also indicate a potential breach of SPL rule A6.21 and a disciplinary hearing will be convened in due course". 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?

    I know what you mean Craig

    I'm old enough to remember new year games when fans stood together with half bottles of whisky and got on with it

    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.

    It's just the story that keeps on giving and giving!!

    Not many have the cash available to pay this way not to mention logistically for a weekend when they expect the most amount of sales, the poor yams may struggle to withdraw that amount of cash when banks are generally closed!

    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)

    When I started going to games about 16/17 years ago the hatred was there so that's all I've known.

    They have been accepting credit card and zebra finance all day today which has no doubt bulked up the apparent 500 ST sales figure for today, will these transactions still be valid?

    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.

    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 ;)

    Down at Tiny today

    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"

    end of football conversation!!

    also, some yams om FB afte our last set of accounts were released, had them in a frenzy.. they dont obviously understand a trading loss vs. cash flow.

    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.
