The DA Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 What might be fun would be if Hearts were to be leading the Championship next April when a second wave of Covid-19 hits and the SPFL say 'we've thought about your 2020 argument and we find ourselves in agreement. We're going to void the 20/21 season. Hope you enjoy another year in the Championship.' 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even funnier if Partick and Falkirk were either leading League One or in the playoff places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never come across a club that came out with a statement choosing words like 'after you' or 'we are quite happy to remain/be relegated in/from this league because is only fair on everyone else'. There is nothing entirely fair about any outcome some will be happy some will be always be left shaking their fists at sky at the unfairness of it all. I mean for my club not to be promoted was an outrage and clearly down to the Premiership clubs self interests especially Celtic for not wanting us in the league because we would hand them their own arses again when we feel like it. What? Please tell me that I've read this wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe going forward they should change their mascot from the Coronavirus to a vulture. Haven't even mentioned Hearts, Budge and that ridiculous outburst from Deans.

I did have a look at your thread in the immediate aftermath of “Super Ray” gettIng bagged, just to see what the reaction to his disastrous reign was. That was fun. Since then, though - nada.

jagsfan57 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 If they’re stupid enough to do this I would hope fans of all the other clubs would reciprocate. That way the other clubs would miss out on away receipts one game in ten and Hearts would miss out every game.Collectively the other clubs would lose out by a whole lot more than Hearts. I am guessing that Hearts would take 2,000 to each game, depending on capacity at away grounds. Where as the average away support to Tynecastle would be about 4-500 per game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be around the 400-500 mark themselves. Maybe the last time round in the 2nd tier they took a little bit more but there was some bigger clubs in the league then like Newco and Hibs that would've made them feel that winning the Championship was an achievement. This time around, and no disrespect to the other teams, but they should be winning it unless their resources are seriously affected by the SNP's attempt to drive every club under... -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts lose 500 each home game. 500 x 18 = 9,000 as you rightly say. A. N. Other club lose 2,000 x 2 home games = 4,000.

Do you get it now?I said collectively.However, 9000 for Hearts is maybe the equivalent of 1 game. For most clubs in the 1st division 4,000 is the equivalent of 2 games.But let’s take one club as an exampleAlloa take day 200 to a game at Tynecastle. That equates to about 2% of their attendance. I have used 10,000 as an average, which I imagine will be on the low side.Hearts take 1,000 to Alloa cause away capacity is reduced. Alloa’s average gate is 1,000 - so they are losing out on almost 10% of there income over 2 games with Hearts.It will be different club by club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main stand was full every time, even the season they got relegated.Maybe they just don’t like going to Aberdeen or the game was on the TV or at a ridiculous time ?Are you really trying to say that Hearts don’t take more fans to matches than Dunfermline, Morton etc ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United brought 712 and 691 to the two games at Palmerston this season. When Hearts were last in this division their two visiting crowds were 2,765 and 2,584. There's a difference. A BIG difference. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
