You know, I have trouble remembering the Bad Old Days when the Close Season was spent discussing such mundane matters as who we'd lose before the Transfer Window was finished and how Petrie was such a tight Ars* by not allowing the manager to sign Messi or Ronaldo.
Such innocent times, before the annual Administration/CVA/Liquidation era.
I wonder whose turn it'll be next summer![]()

Commercial "Call to Arms" to Edinburgh business community
16.07.2013
Following the amazing response from Hearts fans to the administrators plea for a further 3000 season tickets to be purchased, Hearts are now sending out a similar message to the Edinburgh business community to snap up corporate hospitality tickets, sponsorship and advertising at Tynecastle for next season.
David Southern, Hearts Managing Director said, "The response to the season ticket plea has been amazing and will help the club's cash flow over the next three or four months. However, we still need to generate revenue throughout the season to allow the club to prosper and a major factor in that is commercial revenue.
"Our message to businesses across Scotland is 'Welcome to Hearts, we're open for business'. We have some prime advertising positions at Tynecastle which will provide exceptional local, national and global media exposure for businesses. And sponsors and corporate hospitality guests will be part of up to seventeen thousand people next season enjoying some of the best hospitality in the SPFL's most atmospheric stadium.
"I believe we provide a service second to none and I have no doubt any business coming to the Tynecastle on a matchday will leave knowing they've had exceptional value for money."
Scott Cockburn, Managing Director of Buckstone Roofing said, "We take in four or five games a season in the Gorgie suite normally and have always enjoyed the formal yet relaxed atmosphere it provides. We regularly take clients along and whether a Hearts or visiting fan, they come away feeling like they've been well looked after.
"I've been to hospitality suites across the country and can honestly say that for atmosphere and quality of food, the Gorgie Suite is at the top of the tree. We also do a substantial amount of advertising which helps us promote Buckstone Roofing to a wide audience and we get a very good response to this. The coverage of Scottish Football in the local press is excellent and we regularly see our boards via various media outlets.
"The relationship we have with Hearts is excellent and we've had no hesitation in renewing our package for next year already. "
Why would any vaguely credible company want to be associated with that lot ?

There is a fair chance their commercial income has totally dried up as no company can justify paying in advance for a service to a company in admin.

Nice to hear from David Southern. Has he spent the last month writing that?

Neither the authorities nor most of the clubs really give a toss about it beyond fixtures being fulfilled.
Indeed English friends of mine were somewhat taken aback by the reaction of the Scottish clubs to the Rangers fiasco describing Rangers as a feeding frenzy, nothing more than a chance to put the boot in to the fallen school bully. Having deliberately distanced myself from as much Rangers chat as possible and avoiding anything that smells of self righteous hysterical Sellik blogger i can see that point of view.
However for our pink chums Rangers is the precedent. Division3 awaits.

I fear another fiasco awaits and Mr Doncaster will simply put his pants on his head, stick 2 pencils up his nose and say "Wibble!"Last edited by AndyM_1875; 17-07-2013 at 07:40 AM. Reason: posts merged

Was initially amused at their "Rudi five one" horse, namely as it's named after a player who ****ed off as soon as the money dried up but might stick a sneaky twenty quid on "Tax Enough", would be good to see another Jambo ****ed over by Hector's horse

I happened across this relatively recent phenomena when researching the humble metre and came upon this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre
2002 – The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) considers the metre to be a unit of proper length and thus recommends this definition be restricted to "lengths ℓ which are sufficiently short for the effects predicted by general relativity to be negligible with respect to the uncertainties of realisation". Hibs.net fact. End of. [27]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General...Current_status
General relativity has emerged as a highly successful model of gravitation and cosmology, which has so far passed many unambiguous observational and experimental tests. However, there are strong indications the theory is incomplete. Hibs.net fact. End of. [186]
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...-set-soar.html
This new main stand would house 10,000 fans - replacing the current stand which cost £12,000 when it was built in 1914 - and would ensure Tynecastle, with 23,000 seats, has the fourth-largest football stadium capacity in Scotland. It was also confirmed that the Tynecastle pitch will be compliant with UEFA regulations for European competition. YAM LIE. UNTRUTH.

Dear mr Southern
I'm a businessman and I'm itching to take a hospitality package from hearts in February 2014. Three quick questions:
Can you guarantee the game will actually take place?
Should I address my check to BDO, HMFC ltd, FoH or the Cosa Nostra?
Or are you being premature here?
Yours etc etc
