To be honest, that looks to me he's telling his players to keep the Vaughn on his left foot.

His ACL injury was in his right knee, so it wouldn't make sense for Neilson to point to his left leg for that reason.

He’s had the injury in both knees.

Think Queens could end up bottom, they were on a really stinking run last year.

In Summary:


"We messed up big time by guaranteeing Season Ticket holders would have access to eighteen home games, even though everybody else could see that was a stupid thing to do."

"We're now begging you to help us out (again) by opting to watch the games on live-stream instead, and please, please, please don't make us go through with our original promise.... please."

"Not that we're actually admitting it was a mistake."

[Andy74]

So are they taking the 18 games at Tynecastle literally?

So their fans could watch every home game on a stream and if they so choose, could still get those 18 games next season instead?

By the sounds of it, people watching on a stream will probably have a PPV fee to pay, unless they use one of their 'vouchers' from this seasons ST to 'buy' that stream. Essentially they want to revert to what every other team in Scotland are doing (barring those not selling STs at all), but don't want to admit to the mistake of issuing the guarantee of 18 live games. This way they will get the punters to use most of their ST this year to watch streams, those that don't choose to watch the stream will have 18 home games to attend in 21/22 season

Yes.

They wanted to sell Season Tickets but didn't yet know which league they'd be in (meaning they didn't know how many games would be played).

To get round that, they guaranteed that fans buying a Season Ticket would be able to attend eighteen home games... in person. This was with the expectation that, if they were in the Championship, three or four of those games would 'roll-over' to season 21/22.

It seems that it didn't occur to them that fans might not be able to actually attend some games this season due to Covid restrictions, and it has come back to bite them on the ar5e.

[hibee-boys]

These idiots keep ploughing more and more money into a club with, what seems like, zero accountability on Budge and the board. Horrendous product to watch, relegation, inflated salaries to mediocre players, half finished stand for double the outlay, terrible managerial appointments etc etc. If it was any other club, ok... other than the bigot brothers, i'd have a lot of sympathy for the deluded lot. However, it's not, and I don't, it's hilarious!

It appears many of them aren’t happy about it and are going to call her bluff and roll their season tickets over till next season.

Plenty ways to access a stream. A few of their games on TV. What a mess for them. 😂

He’s had the injury in both knees.

The one he's most recently recovered from was in his right knee though, wasn't it? RN clearly isn't telling his players to injure him, especially through gestures on live TV, so I've no idea why Lewis Vaughan's da would 'kick his head in'.

[Not In The Know]

I do enjoy reading about how big a mess they are in!

This really is an amateur mistake and one that hearts should have seen coming. In fact we saw this coming and questioned it at the time but hearts were being forward thinking and all that jazz.

For someone with an IT background you would have though she had someone working on a RAID log. Then again they also forgot to worry about the risk and impact to plans if they forgot to order seats.

The longer budge stays in charge the better as she really makes Boris look competent.

But surely the great visionary that is Anne Budge foresees everything before everyone else?

[Rumble de Thump]

Hearts were desperate for cash, and would say and do whatever they had to in order to get it from their fans. They obviously weren't concerned with the consequences, professionalism or decency and they never seem to be. That's just how the club has operated for as long as I can remember.

Honesty and integrity are core values🤣🤣🤣 in your dreams ya poppy theiving charity robbing tax dodging pension stealing NHS didling cheats. Not one ounce of integrity or honesty from your ****ty little club since Mercer took over

Or for example on this very topic where she sold season tickets on the promise of seeing 18 games "at Tynecastle" and then later tried to sneak under the radar with it becoming seeing the 18 games at your sofa.

A bit of a strange juxtaposition to see "jazz" mentioned in a post about the sparryheids. Surely they are more a line-dancing bunch, or something like a jug-band. A genre with duelling banjos at least.

Has anybody ever cataloged the Budgies disasters since she took over? Surely it would be longer than their creditors list.

It’s gonna cause them such problems. Most STs are sold in spring / early summer but a lot of them will delay because they still have a number of games rolled over into next season. Can they charge them full price? Very much doubt it because they will be getting a proportion of games already.

So this means less money available next season.

Early next month, I believe. Maybe delayed finishing it in order to take in the start of the season and the semi?

If you are a family of four with STs then you save a lot of money watching it on stream this season knowing that your seats for next year are paid for.

If they've been waiting for something positive to end it on they should finish it off now with their 3 (scraped) wins out of 3 in the league cup.
