    There's a huge untapped market, after all who wouldn't shell out £16 for a plastic gnome or this...

    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

    At 16 quid a gnome, a quick back of an Allan Carr Easyway to Give Up book calculation tells us that they only have to shift around about 48,000 Gnomes and they will reach their target figure for seeing out the summer....punt another 400,000 next season and they can make a serious dent in the debt.

    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"
    Amazing how stupid many people are - mention one thing and they blindly assume it means something a bit more specific that fits into their way of thinking. From so called journalists the level of utter ineptness is absolutely staggering.

    I've lost track of the number of times I've seen researchers and fact checkers give a journalist a piece of clear and concise information only to then see something that loosely resembles it given to the public.

    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.
    Agreed. I fell out with this clown (by e-mail) after his report on the first game after the CIS cup win in 2007 when he failed to mention the balant shirt-pulling by Zaliukas (i.e. when he pulled Rob Jones' strip up his back and over his head!). Haven't bought the Scotsman since but do read it on-line!

    Jackson (administrator) on Sportsound this afternoon specifically said "500 season tickets".

    The inner love on sickback is unreal. Big pats on the back and how "Super duper" great they all are. Yet no real protests have ever happened they are miles and I mean miles off being saved.

    The first defeat the heads will go down these fans will bolt, like last season the crowds dropped. They need to get a grip on reality!! Bunch of Fandans.

    My cousin was like that on facebook so I commented how those that have been made unemployed must be welling up with pride. Didn't have an answer to that.

    Am I right in thinking that a few seasons ago they had their water cut off? Tried a quick google search but couldn't find anything.

    Exactly, it's a shame on those that lost there jobs and were treated badly. Sure they aren't all kissing each others *****.

    Sitting thinking about 1990, that truly was a massive achievement considering there was no Internet just word of mouth. It was twice as hard then to get things up and running yet we did. That mob are going out on a whimper.

    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.

    My personal favourite was the guy who stuck a microphone in Mike Gatting's (heavily bruised and battered) face and said....

    "where did the ball hit you, Mike?".

    When will the SFA have their hearing on Hearts entering administration. Surely they have to be dealt with the same as Dunfermline?

    Correct.

    Admirable that the Yam fundraising attempts to keep the club alive are, the overall sums of money raised are insignificant in the great scheme of things.

    What it does do is buy time for Yams to persuade someome with real wealth to step in. If they dont get backup from an STF, EddieThomson, or Stewart Milne type then they could cover gorgie in bouncy castles and the outcome would remain the same.

    Thinking back to our situation, and Celtic's, in the early 90's, while in no way attempting to belittle the actions of fans groups, it was the men with serious money who ultimately decided the future of both clubs.

    Hearts need someone and quickly.
    The simple fact is that unless they find a tom farmer or a stewart milne to spend upwards of £10m to buy the club abd another £3-4m to run it the stadium will be sold and they will be goosed.Starting the season with all the season ticket money spent leaves a huge hole in the finances.Also the spl(or whatever the name is now)is still to deliberate on punishment for them so the odds of them being relegated are pretty short.In short their goosed.

    Certainly hope so but even in the medium to longterm.

    All in due course. Hearts currently have been handed the same punishment it just doesn't have a conclusive end date. It's too early in the process to do that just now.

    Think there may be a national record number of objectors to those plans, even before the Hibs/Hearts factor

    Huge swathes of higher quality green belt under threat, traffic chaos from 5000 new car owners (more than 1 per house would be expected in that part)

    Of course, a lot of Hibees might be motivated to object when the time comes (just make sure you do it individually as the number of objections is important)
