    Great news, but is there any chance one of our ex strikers is on the radar?

    Clayton would be a fantastic signing.

    Big Ben is 10 times the keeper McDonald is. McDonald has undoubtedly improved this season, however so would I if I was to get approximately 70 shots pinged at me every Saturday

    No chance.

    He's having a great season at Brentford who look like getting into the playoffs if not automatic promotion to the Championship where the big money starts.

    Been watching them a lot recently (whilst keeping an anxious eye on hibs.net, obviously.)

    If you're ITK, can you give us some examples of how far off the mark they are?
    My mates a bobby and it was over a year ago he old me about the difference in actual/reported attendances. Not sure how far out they are but from a different source I hear the attendance on boxing day was 11000 plus. Still a good crowd for what they are having to watch.

    13,684 att at the PBS against Killie You are having a laugh .

    Assuming 500 away supporters in the visitors end, that would leave about 700 empty seats in the rest of the ground. There was acres of empty seats even before the first goal.

    Family yam who went said 8k...............there did seem to be too many gaps for 11k but we are talking yamematics here so any number is possible in their world. They're a big club who won a war so they can say and do what they like

    Even if they were getting full houses every week (which they clearly aren't ) it's not going to make any difference to what happens regarding Relegation so why are we bothered about it If they want to lie about attendances leave them to it and focus on increasing ours

    At the end of the day, it all comes down to plums on seats!!! And there are still plenty of them!

    Exactly, their turnover is smaller than ours and has been for the last 3 years so if they are getting those crowds then they must be seriously discounting.

    Time to go from here too.

    Where do Yams go these days? Not faxed back to Kaunas anymore, for sure. Maybe it's onto the unpaid debts file at BDO's office - a kind of purgatory.

    Plenty room to do both my good man :-)

    ... and in with that thought the major factor is results.

    We are on the up, up, up, slowly but surely while they are on the good ship Titynic.

    They hit the iceberg some time ago. The ladies, children and cowards have long gone. Only those with harridan type wives worse than death/going to the shops on Saturday remain on deck waiting on the inevitable.

    'Return to Drawer'?





    Edit: Or is it 'Refer to Drawer'? Bounced cheques are soooooo 20th Century....

    They (should) have already paid all taxes on ST money. They (should) only be paying tax on walk-up tickets. They only declare large/sell-out crowds as they are deluded fannies. Many years ago all teams under-declared crowds as a tax dodge. Often sell-out crowds at Darkhead were reported as 5,000 less.
    5,000 less? A Uni pal of mine (from Dublin, so I could excuse his allegiances) dragged me along to the Declans v. Cologne in the early 90's. The place was rammed apart from one strip at the Sevco end to keep the fans apart. There were at least 50,000 there and the declared attendance was exactly '30,000'....

    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 agree with the majority of your sentiments, as I was at the game, but Killie brought nearer 350, not 500-700.

  25. #34434
    Thought I'd bring this thread back just to remind people that Hearts probably have about 3-4 months maximum to come out of administration before they are liquidated.

    The championship should be something they are aspiring too.

    What's going to be the head-shot ?

    Club runs out of cash, Ukio admin. run out patience, Yam fans run out of interest, or something else

    Good reminder Bob! Quick question for JKB watchers, has anyone over there even ventured the possibility that they may still be in admin come season end with all the dire consequences that brings? I realise this is almost certainly a rhetorical question but its now a year since the great share issue fraud & yet they continue to believe in all the fairy tales which ooze out of the PBS.

    Forgive me if I missed this but : does anyone know who actually owns or controls the 50% shares that were assumed to be in ubig's possession?

    Is it definitely confirmed as being in ubig's ownership?

    I was out with my mates on Saturday night, one of whom is a full on Jambo (5-1, 1902 etc...). I asked him about their current plight. His answer (put very boldly) was it was all worth it and he wouldn't change anything.
    I said that I would ask him in a couple of years if it was worth it when you are still in the championship at best, with no ground and nobody else remembers or even cares about your cup wins.

    His response was he still wouldn't change anything, but his eyes has real fear in them!
    It felt really really good to see that fear, as I think deep down they all have it..........

    I'm not believing they'll run out of cash.

    They've got 7,000 guaranteed seasons to fall back on, and the introduction of the season tickets for sale in March will see them through this season. It might put pressure on their cash flow for next season though.

    BDO only need to put that begging bowl out and the deluded will come running. Even if they don't know which League they will be in next year if at all, the chumps will empty the bairns piggy banks, and get the ovens fired up once again.
