    I heard from someone inside Tynie the other night that the direct debits tailed off in December. The fans are rapidly losing faith and have basically thrown in the towel.

    At the beginning of this month a few FoH pledgers were tweeting the FoH twitter account asking for the % of pledges. the FoH responded that the figure was not available, but would be published the following week. Since then, silence, no answers and no more queries.

    The FoH even published their first news-letter last week with only a note about the fans " fantastic loyalty " but no mention of facts or figures.

    Seems to go against the FoH stated Mantra of total honesty and transparency at all levels. They are sh*tting it in case it leads to a cancellation stampede !

    We should really be encouraging them to ask questions.

    They have 10,500 season ticket holders - a few thousand of these were bought to save the club as an extra and have been empty all season.

    So I doubt we will see a league attendance reported lower than 10,500 all season.

    The worrying aspect for them is the lack of walk ups and the good work Locke is doing ripping the support apart and making them painful to watch
    Interestingly I met up with a friend this morning , in his70's died in the wool Jambo who bought a ST , for the reason you mention , along with two of his mates of a similar age .
    They have been at two games since the start of the season !!

    I know people who bought an extra seat also - just so the club could get the cash. Think it's been used once all season and that was at the start for the derby against us.

    They report one number for the press and put that on the website - but the police and others at the PBS know this isn't the number of individuals actually in the stadium.

    GG, they didn't ask questions when their share certificates weren't issued, they didn't ask questions when the season ticket money disappeared so they're unlikely to be manning the barricades over F of H not giving out DD detail. I'm sure you're correct though, the absence of news means there is no good news! Pleasing!

    Yes civil war at Tyne castle and it's just Christmass Just wait till a few weeks after x mass when those that pledged more and went without themselves for the greater good of the cause realise it was all in vain They won't be out of administration and no new players signed and staring down the relegation barrel .wonder who will pull the Trigger first as it all implodes Think there will be a few arrests at away end in Derby as we taunt them ,beat them and send them home humiliated as they play out there last act of defiance Oh forgot they will be back for the semi final and if they loose that they will be looking to trash the place ,Morons some of them

    It's obvious to anyone inside the stadium that the figures are nonsense.

    The whole stadium holds approx 17.5k

    The Roseburn stand holds approx 3.5k.

    That leaves approx 14000 for hearts fans in the other 3 stands

    Killie took about 500-750 yesterday

    13,684 total - 750 Killie fans = 12934 Hearts fans

    14,000 available seats - 12934 fans =

    That means in the Hearts part of the stadium there was only approx 1066 empty seats in the 3 Hearts stands?

    No way.

    I haven't heard anything regarding Leigh, Spoke to Kenny the other day and nothing's changed. He'd love to come and I think come Jan Dave his agent will be in touch with Hibs.

    Hospitality at the PBS is not going very well that their 2-for-1 £150 offer is being further discounted via the kickback raffle according to the snippets over the road. If sales don't improve in the next 36 hours, BDO will be accepting £50 a head for their normally priced £150 a head hospitality. I thought BDO were supposed to be protecting revenues, not destroying them. They truly are in the ****.

    GGTTH


    JKB and Hearts have once again got together to offer members the chance to win hospitality tickets, this time for the game against Partick Thistle on Sunday, January 5th. and the tickets include:

    Arrival at 12:30 pm
    Drinks reception
    Chance to meet former players
    Prime seating in the Gorgie Suite hospitality area
    Betting available in Suite
    Half time refreshments including pies, tea and coffee
    Pre-match meal with wine, tea and coffee
    Complimentary bar throughout the day
    Man of the match presentations
    Suite closes one hour after full time

    .

    seriously ! in the wongadome ?

    They probably had this one ear marked for a guaranteed three points and Bumper crowd to boot ?The deluded last supper would be good title for the Buffet.If they don't have to sell a few players in January I hope some one in the new set up is examining the books In business it may be administration can go on indefinitely but in a league that's already not an easy sell to fSponsers do we really want this embarrassing charade of begging bowel antics and false sympathy prevailing just to watch more beatings and humiliations . you know what I think I do am really beginning to enjoy watching the screw being turned and the deluded ones continued proclamations of self belief. it truly is a sight to behold and a joyous occasion to celebrate Bring on the Derby I am with Andy on this one .

    The police are always given the true attendance. I can assure you they are always a good bit lower than reported.
    If asked under an FOI request they are usually quick to provide these.

    Celtic and Rangers fans have both done this recently for each other. Figures are freely available.

    I did an FoI request to Police Scotland last June asking for the correct attendance figures at Tynie and Easter Road. The repose I got was the Club's own figures .

    Example ... Hearts vs St Mirren 17/11/12 Att. 16,443
    Hearts vs St Mirren 2/5/2013 Att. 16,312

    Utter nonsense.

    Could it be the way you asked the question? I.e you asked them for the attendance to which they will just give you the clubs official attendance were as you might receive a very different figure if you asked the question "what figure were police Scotland given by hmfc to provide adequate police attendance at the fixture"?

    I asked for the " actual count of spectators attending each SPL match at Easter Road and Tynecatle last season ".

    the reply read " here are the figures the respective clubs provided ".

    No way.

    As is well documented,they have since the romanov era given the crowd figures including a full season ticket number plus walk ups.

    Not quite sure why . Maybe its a big team thing

    they would just name as such

    the last supper

    next home game= the real last supper

    next home game= the really real last supper

    next home game= the truly last supper

    next home game= the seriously last supper

    next home game= the honestly we're being serious now last supper

    next home game= the factual never to be repeated last supper

    next home game= the 1902 and 5-1 appreciation last supper


    and so on and so forth

    Hibs reckon that an average of 10% of STs don't turn up.

    From what I've seen and heard they talk about 20%.

    Have other SPFL teams now given up hope of further fleecing Hearts fans with the nonsense about donating to FOH when the yams come visiting?

    I don't see anything on the Saints website in relation to tomorrow's game and nothing was mentioned in the previous away days to Dundee United and Celtc?

    Celtc give money to Hearts? Are you SERIOUS?


    I realise they love to think of themselves as a charitable entity (no laughing at the back) but there are limits you know.

    It was more United and Saints I was on about

    FOH used to shout from the rooftops about goodwill from other teams, but that seems to have went quiet of late. In fact, FOH almost seem to have shut up shop in terms of blowing their own trumpet.

    Yep, FoH seem to be strangely silent just now. Not a peep about the DDs, for instance.

    I tried to bait them last night on one of the EEN pieces about the Yams terrible year of 2013. I asked if they could confirm that the standing orders had dropped by 50% and that is why the figures are not being released.

    No denials, insults or responses of any kind so far.

    Come folks, get busy, 50% reduction in the S/O's is now a Hibs.net fact.

    Been quiet since before the CVA vote.
    Despite getting a provisional approval of their CVA their faces were tripping them as they came out of the meeting and not heard from them since.
    BDO been quiet as well. They said they have a funding shortfall to finish the season but have then announced nothing about plans on how they would fill it (except selling 4 course meals and a free bar for about £50 a pop).
    Maybe the plan is to sell players bit I don't think they have anyone of value and Bryan Jackson said himself that they would have to go back to the fans. What is his plan? Wait till things are desperate and blackmail them with a gun at the clubs head? Worked before, so maybe.

    Yam acquaintance saying some team had blown his win by +4 goals bet and reeled off he three that did.

    Pity you didn't include Killie, I said.

    His wee face was a picture
