Mattie Pollock is set to return to Watford when his spell ends, but hopes are alive a permanent transfer remains a possibility. Hope so a think it depends on us getting 3rd pollock scales shinnie and clarkson would be great business in the summer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen could sell Europe and using us as a stepping stone to something bigger. Watford had apparently deemed him surplus when he was loaned to us however given his recent performances they may wish to reassess him. 400K plus a sell on clause might meet Watford's valuation. Scales is another one who I would pay 400k for. It's hard to find good left backs in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about time the league stepped in when it comes to the cheeks and Hearts offering pitiful away allocations. Even 5% minimum would be reasonable. The worst part is that the subservient Jambos are happy to give the cheeks two sections but only give us one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with a season ticket, DNA and regular away game attendees would likely have this much. I do not. If hearts really have the demand then it’s their right to do it. I don’t see why the league should have to step in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my calculations, if you had a season ticket and attended every single away league game for five seasons you wouldn’t even be half way there. Anyone in that bracket should be given first dibs, you shouldn’t be able to buy your way in through DNA (and I say that as a subscriber). 5x season tickets = 200 Every away league game in last 5 season = approx 140 It absolutely should not be up to clubs to choose to offer negligible or in some cases zero away tickets. A game with no away fans is a step away from what we had to watch during covid. Scottish football is terrible at selling itself and accentuating it’s genuine good points and this is an example of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't attend many away games or have AberDNA anymore but I've still got 478 points. I think your calcs are wrong.

Id rather we had a bigger away support, I do think it adds to the spectacle and of course, I’d rather get a ticket . But if hearts have taken a judgement to prioritise fans who can’t otherwise get a ticket vs the spectacle then I believe they should have the right to do so, even if I disagree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2018, you get 100 for a season ticket and AberDNA. That was obviously when I had more money! It's dropped to 40 for season ticket and 40 for AberDNA. The European and league cup games fair stack up though. Main point being, there will be plenty of folk with more points than me. Which is fair enough. I don't go to many away games so when the allocation is restricted, then I miss out. I've been offered a ticket for the home end but don't fancy that.

Cup Semi and Finals is 2 points. Also next season season ticket and DNA is including in the points. Anyone on Premium DNA, got a season ticket and go to nearly all the away games will be first to get tickets. I think those that don't do DNA but goes to every game will be offered tickets.

This “reasonable allocation” nonsense is typical of the SPFL though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
