I don’t think so either but I’m not entirely sure what that daft overused term “tin pot” means. Been meaning to ask a bairn for a while now.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

They need to scrimp every penny available to them as their turnover is the fifth biggest in Scotland and absolutely dwarfed by the top two. Our fiercest rivals have a fan scheme that ploughs millions into the club whereas ours ploughs in hundreds of thousands. They need to make money anyway they can and this is an easy way to gain extra revenue.
I'm not picking sides here, just saying I can totally understand why Hibs have moved the KO and if I was the bean counter at the club I'd have made the same decision. Even though I know it would get a bit of backlash.

So for the sake of making what, less than the squads weekly wage in PPV sales, they'll disrupt folk who had made plans and bought tickets for the game already.
12:30 on a Saturday is an awful kick off time.

The problem is the early KO which ruins the fixture.

Whether you agree with the decision to move kick off is obviously up for debate, I don’t understand how Tin Pot can be used in this context though. As I said earlier, it is pretty much the opposite of that for me.

In fairness there’ll be 396,500 Hearts fans that won’t be there that might stump up for the PPV😏
Jokes aside, this out of town supporter is seriously xxxxxx off!

Would a Friday night fixture be a better option or at all possible? Would much rather that than a lunch time kick off on either Saturday / Sunday.

Good point around hospitality, I’d be even more hacked off it id stumped up a couple of hundred pounds to be told that the pre-match build up will commence early in the morning. Pretty sure that’s not what they signed up for! I’d not commit to a category A hospitality package for that reason alone, these games are always getting shifted at a moments notice.

So hacking us off for £15k which is 2 weeks pay for Ben Ken.
If the club truthfully tell us how much they make from it we can decide if it was worth it but they won't.
I'm calling it £15k tops for turning a great day out into a perfunctory game attendance.
They could make more money from all the Hibbies and Jambo's at the game donating £1 each in exchange for leaving the kick off alone.
I note that the meet the players event ticket price has reduced from the original bat**** £50 a ticket to £25 a ticket.
Did this happen before the meet the defenders event or as a result of the low attendance numbers at this event?Last edited by PHeffernan; 15-03-2023 at 03:48 PM.

In the simplest terms even if this incurred no costs or lost match day ticket sales 5000 signs ups (and that seems optimistic) brings in £50K. That's a squad players wages for 6 months or 3.3% of our losses from last year. It hardly seems worth the bad feeling it seems to have caused.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

The fact that this will be of benefit to multiple times more hearts fans than Hibs fans just makes this decision ever more ***** really.Last edited by Stubbsy90+2; 15-03-2023 at 04:01 PM.

Saying that, kicking off the game earlier than usual at 7pm could see the vast majority turning up in reasonable sobriety.

Glad i booked the 7am train gets me in a couple of minutes past 11. Might have to fore go the prematch pint but will make kick off in good time. A few hours to play with post match.

Bizarre. Still, at least a Saturday lunchtime is better then a Sunday lunchtime. After game sesh incoming.

I was planning on getting the train up and down on the day for the game.
I don't think that's as attractive an idea as it was before the announcement.

After the last Derby in the SC they probably don't expect a sell out so have gone down this route, would normally go but won't be this time, crap KO time
