Cheers poolman.

Interesting stuff. Mad how much things have changed in quite a short space of time.

Hatred kicked in after the Mercer takeover bid.

No. It's all just back channel press stuff.

On a side note, (dunno if this has been mentioned) the Hearts fans were saying that cash was preferred but that Credit Cards would still be accepted. It's now cash or cheque only, online and telephone sales have been completely suspended.

Up to a point yesterday you could actually see how many season tickets were being sold on their site via the seating chart. In the 2 hour window a colleague was monitoring it she estimates they sold ~20. That comes with the caveat that we've no idea how quickly it's updated after a sale.

Delighted to say that this should be updated almost instantly after the sale, as in a few minutes.

The 500 sales is nonsense; it's a figure Yam propagandists feel comfortable with as they know they sell that many, and possibly a little more, before their deadline.

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.

Some of your posts the last couple of days have given me a right chortle. As the shenanigans seem to continue for a couple of months(?) I look forward to future offerings.

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.

[GodisaHibee]

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.

Er, the Champions League theme is actually Zadok the Priest, by Handel.

The words go to the Ode to Joy.

It was Lucius who said it was the CL theme.

Interesting. Especially since I literally just recieved the following text

"500 tickets were sold but nobody told the press they were all season tickets. They print what they like"

Stuart 'Random Comparisons' Bathgate:
Asked if the task faced by Hearts now was tougher than the 2012 Scottish Cup final, in which they beat Hibs 5-1, Locke unsurprisingly said it was. “Easily, This is the biggest battle that the club has faced.”

....so ******* unsurprising that it will be a puzzle to every sentient being* why you asked it. I think he's got a tic.

* and possibly, even, Gary Locke.

The most idiotic question ever asked by a journalist in the entire history of journalism ever. Today was the last Scotsman I will buy for a very long time, despite the comedy value.

Infrequent buyer before but Dowler case (a likely murdered schoolgirl FFS!) ended me giving anything directly to newspaper industry, seen SoS Scottish Nazi attempt and knew I had made the correct decision.

100% agree with you !!. It's fun ripping them in the pub/work/school etc, but it's so much better when it's done ON THE PITCH !!. I really hope IF they start the season, Pat sends our team out on Aug 10 with the order "At the very least I want 7-0" !!

(P.s Slightly disagree with the '23 years' - it's 32 years since Mercer took over and started their 'Financial Football' business-model)

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

Someone that was an actual journalist would surely be asking how Hearts will manage to compete without spending such vast sums on wages? Or if their overpaid cup winning squad was worth putting the existence of the club at risk?

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.

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.

That and their incessant Hunnish UJ waving and Nazi/Red hand salutes.

Effin mugs!

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!

Putting aside your dedication to reporting the true facts of whats really going on inside Tynecastle, I wonder if it's just The Yaks that sell garden gnomes? Is this another merchandising opportunity that Hibs are missing out on? We've had the missing letters and numbers fiasco at the launch of the new kit and now we seem to have missed a trick by denying green fingered Hibbies the opportunity to decorate their gardens with green garden gnomes this summer.

C'mon Petrie...sort this out


Incidentaly, how much do the gnomes retail at?

Has anyone done any digging around the Hearts main stand safety certificate recently? There was a rumor on boakback round the 13th June that significant remedial work was necessary before next season. One of the reasons cited for entering administration was increased stadium costs "significantly increased stadium costs particularly in relation to the Main Stand". 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?

Could be worth stirring this up and see if a reaction can be got from the Administrators.

They are in charge now , so presumably then can be held liable for safety issues if they are made aware of them.
