    “After the announcement that season tickets for the 2014-15 campaign will go on sale tomorrow morning, I wanted to provide some additional information regarding their purchase.

    “The delays in launching season tickets have caused huge frustration both to the supporters and to all at the club.

    “We have been ready to launch for some time. We agreed the pricing weeks ago – approximately 7% reduction across the board; we agreed the phasing weeks ago – two phases instead of three.

    “We have tried to keep everything as simple and straight forward as possible and hopefully you will agree that what we are proposing is

    fair. It reflects that, although we have gone down a division, our costs have not significantly reduced, but recognises that the supporters have been magnificent and we want to say thank-you by implementing as much of a price reduction as we can afford.

    “However, we do need to ask if you could consider helping us

    out once again.

    “If you choose to pay for your season ticket by credit card for personal financial reasons or because of the protection this offers you,

    then that is absolutely fine and please feel free to do so.

    “However, if you pay by credit card (or indeed debit card) for convenience only, would you please consider paying by cash or cheque (or loan) as this will help the club by minimising fees and assisting with cash management.

    “Because of HMFC’s credit history, coupled with being in administration for a year, we have been in a weak position in negotiating economic terms with our card processing company.

    “In simple terms, if you buy your season ticket using your credit card – or debit card – the card processing company does not release any

    of your money to the club until after the first league game of the season, and then only 1/18th of what they have collected after each home match. This is largely to do with the Consumer Credit Act and the protection that this offers to the consumer – namely you.

    “In addition, there are charges for every use of a credit/debit card which the club has to pay.

    “So, if you are able to use another method of payment then we would appreciate it. If not, no problem…and either way I look forward to seeing you in the new season.

    “There is more exciting news to follow shortly – watch this space!”

    Despite, probably, a couple of early defeats to, probably, Raith Rovers and Falkirk, I think Hearts will finish first. I actually think that we're in for another exciting season with Hearts and Rangers to go into the final day level on points, but for McCoist's Rangers to lose out on goal difference.

    One thing's for sure: both Hearts and Rangers will not drop any points to Hibs.

    :rolleyes:
