topcat(The most tip top) Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ah f*ck sorry lads. Seething, verge of tears etc. Don't worry this "we're a bigger club than you" bitchfest is a high pressure environment and we're all desperate to win so mistakes will happen. Hopefully it'll continue to be played in a good spirit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deefiant Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It's good to see both Aberdeen and hearts fans giving 110% in their pursuit of establishing the bigger club. It will be a long, hard battle but IMO the team that can squeeze out the extra 1% will edge it. #111% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitaltrueblue Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hearts must be near the 25k mark by now. Does anyone know true numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the gold standard barometer for club size is average attendances. It always has been and always will be.

Deefiant Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I don't think you know what a yo-yo team is m8. Is it a team that goes down then comes back up??!! Like a yo yo??!! That's what Hearts did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Is it a team that goes down then comes back up??!! Like a yo yo??!! That's what Hearts did. Erm, no. The term has always referred to sides who consistently get promoted and relegated. Not powerhouse clubs like Heart of Midlothian who were relegated once due to financial mishap before bouncing back to their natural place in record-breaking style.

Not powerhouse clubs like Heart of Midlothian who were relegated once due to financial mishap before bouncing back to their natural place in record-breaking style. From the mid-1960s, Hearts went into decline. The players of greatest note in the 1970s were Jim Cruickshank, Donald Ford and Drew Busby, not to forget the loyal servant Alan Anderson. After the advent of the ten team Premier Division in 1975, Hearts were subsequently relegated for the first time in 1977. Promotion followed in 1978, but several seasons were spent yo-yoing back and forth from the Premier League to the First Division. Apart from that though you've only been relegated the once....

ArabFC Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 TV viewing figures for last season were just released, Hearts had the highest average viewing figures in the country. With almost 100,000 more per game than Aberdeen. Box office. In seriousness, the viewing figures as a whole were pretty pish. Basically everyone was tuning in to see Rangers get pumped!

Mind you given that the other promotions were as far back 78, 80 & 83 it would seem hard to see Hearts as a yo yo club now Unless one's mindset was currently stuck in 1985 for some reason.

Hearts have the advantage of Gorgie residents never really bettering themselves, spending their respective miserable existences right where they started. Aberdeen ladz are big in Oil and Gas and tend to take up residence in Dubai, Norway, Houston and Australia spreading our world famous expertise far and wide. I believe that brings this debate to a harsh, yet ultimately fair conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
