Whatever's going on at Hibs, I think we can just be grateful that we're in good nick (including £150,000 a month from FoH) and well-positioned for the medium term without having to rely on deals we don't really understand with foriegn investors with unclear motivations.
This summer is going to be a good chance for Hearts to build on the good work of the last few years. Even if Aberdeen were to win the cup and take the guaranteed group stage football, Hearts are in good shape in pretty much every way imaginable just now. Apart from needing another centre half.
If we had to start from EL Q2 and make it to EL PO to get to the Conference groups minimum, how'd you see that going? Getting past 2 opponents?

Dodgy shit for sheep's sake, it's like that 0-1 against the jonnies last year, with the 6th minute red card; was that a penalty too?

Got to do something until any expansion of the Wheatfield is an absolute necessity @Mr. X

If a seat goes unused, then credit is deducted from the surplus generated by putting seats on the TE
How about that?
Don't know about it going into negative; yes, when it means that seats have to be put on TE to claw it back
But not as snide as adding on to the cost of renewal

Wasn’t there once a photo of a Celtic fan with a Lidl bag of facetious?
I could be mistaken however. Maybe it was an Aldi bag.
It's the farmfoods bag carriers you have to watch out for; do not approach

Yeah see that seems reasonable. Also who gets the money from it going on the TE - The club or the fan? I assumed it was the club in which case it's surely a no-brainer to encourage double selling of a ticket if the ST holder isn't going to use it? But @VincentGuerinimplied that people could sit on an ST and abuse the TE (sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick Vince)
The fan gets half the money (Full Adult price IIRC) credited until next ST is paid for, then the Club gets the full price, like before the TE, when fans used to E-Mail the TO to release their seat

This is an interesting thing. I can't decide what I think the right answer here is.
People buying a ST and then regularly not using it is poor form and I feel it should be cracked down on. But how?
There's the argument that they've bought it and it's up to them how they use it. Some folk will feel that way.
But then also, how do we fairly penalise people who leave their seat empty? How do we prove someone's car didn't break down on the way to the game? What if your train gets cancelled etc? What if you get seriously ill and miss the fitba for months but then recover and want to go back next season? Do we request a doctor's note? And we can't reward using the Ticket Exchange too much, or ST blocking becomes attractive.
I'm not really sure what we do.
Agree completely about getting kids in. We need to have walk-ups to allow new fans, fans who work shifts, folk who want to take their kid to their first game, folk who can only afford to go once every few months etc. They're all part of the club.
Well, some english clubs will take the ST away at EOS when people miss 5-10 games, but they don't have the TE, so that covers people with short-term issues like car trouble
Sure you're aware that you can only earn as much credit on the TE, such that your next ST is paid for, so a long illness would mean that you keep your ST, but either nominate a proxy, I suspect that'd be OK, or put it on the TE, maybe some combination of both
I agree ST holders should release their seat; mid Wheatfield seems bad for it; I suspect a lot of those live far away these days

Individuals can't buy multiples for their own accounts. You can buy for your network, but you don't benefit in points terms beyond your own ticket.
You can buy and not go. Away games you still get the points for that, but I don't think you do for homes.
I woke up at 12:30pm, precisely the KO time, for the last but one home game against our last opponents and never bothered to rush along after the early goal
Sure I still got point though; I'll look it up later

Heard from a few people that they're going to be doing just this. Not sure if this is just a rumour going round in circles, but it would make sense.
I think we do need to keep tickets available for those who don't want/can't afford/can't commit to a season tiket. Folk shouldn't be cut out of seeing the team in those circumstances, but I'd be tempted to go up from where we are now.
I think the current cap is 15,600, so I reckon we could do another thousand?
I would have bought a PR ST, but only if I knew that the TE was going to come into being; brutally, that's not the way it went down
Can't make all the games because of work

Watch it then. Cochrane is in front of Yang who runs round and barges into Cochrange.
Exactly what porteus used to do, barge and fall, forcing the game to stop and a decision to be made (on the spot, with no apparent direction to the monitor by beaton; maybe beaton did and robertson rejected)
Interesting that dessers was reputedly penalised for the same attempted 'buying of the foul', which is usually soft outside the box, but not critical as it's not a penalty decision; it's always a suspicious thing for a ref to give a pen or red for these; Cochrane, again, last year when we were having very little problems from celtic and gollum intervenes with his nonsense 'overrule' of sappy walsh
This post was meant to be brief

That bloke’s a p***k and I’m glad he got a ban, if anything a year is lenient given what people can get handed for setting off a smokebomb.
When can we expect your condemnation of the entire Hearts end at Hampden en-masse singing “Oh the Hibees are gay” in 2006, 2012, as well as at multiple derbies at Tynecastle down the years?
It was meant in the early twentieth century way, meaning you lot were happy & jolly, which was, of course, a great bit of sarcastic banter
What's wrong with you?

Fresh off the homophobic singing on Wednesday night, Hearts fans are out to prove that nobody in the LGBT+ community is safe from their bigotry.
Oh, the knives are out, eh?

The editing was very poor.
How was that not a red card? There's no doubt it was a red card. Penalties were so-so.
The YouTuber done it on-the-fly as watching it, so it was hot off the press, it's 4 hours old

OFFICIAL HEARTS JUGGERNAUT THREAD 2020-
in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Posted · Edited by Craigie Jambo
Yes; I was so glad we never got zurich's group
On the other end of the spectrum, we may qualify for the EL and I reckon Naismith fancies our chances, but I'm not overly keen; rather another year of building, like yourself
Just looked at last year's EL Q3, for non-champions, only 4 teams, we'd have been up against a 52.000 & 39.000, so F that
We could've taken zurich and with this team, I think so, but they were 7.000 to our 7.380, both country coefficient values, due to lack of European competition
