If the ticket is listed on the official ticket exchange platform before 10 am on the day of the match and does not sell, the holder will also dodge the so-called yellow card. I would hope that some allowance is made for those of us with variable health conditions for whom it's often a last minute decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be harsh to go down that route at the end of the day. I miss some games because i coach grassroots football on a Sunday and have done for years and i'm sure there will be a lot of kids in the same boat, games on a Saturday and midweek are fine. Was a bit of a nightmare last season with all the Sunday games due to the conference league but that's the price of being successful. Have had a season ticket with the kids for years so not sure that would be the best route for the club to go down, especially when the ticket exchange doesn't open for all the games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigie Jambo Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I think there is a notable group of Season ticket holders just don't use the ticket exchange system. I'm not sure how they could make it easier for some, perhaps through the introduction of a dedicated phone line for ticket exchange assistance, especially catering to those less tech savvy. If demand for season tickets is genuinely as high as some in the club claim, then I believe their is merit in ensuring that the limited number of season tickets available go to those that can attend the most games, or are prepared to make the effort to use ticket exchange when it's available. If the game doesn't go to ticket exchange then that's a free pass. It doesn't have to be quite as strict as the Bradford model, possibly the culmination of eight games missed in a season, without any effort to use ticket exchange(when available) or any special dispensation for health reasons, could result in losing the right to renew for the following season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke nonsense imo. We need to take a "survival of the fittest" approach to which fans to admit to Tynecastle, in the hope of improving the atmosphere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Happy “officially finishing above Aberdeen day” everyone! it was cancelled last year and I don’t think anyone expected it come in March this time but here we are If We win the next two then Hibs would need a win at Ibrox to push our “finish above Hibs day” celebration into April Edited March 14 by topcat(The most tip top) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding to the nailbiting "will it be done by the split?" questions, I'm also now focusing on whether Hearts can extend our total points lead over Hibs since promotion to 40 points by the end of this season. By my calculations we lead them by 37 points since coming back up. Personally, I'd love to see 50, but I've been harsh enough on Naismith at times, and a portion of the blame for the gap being so paltry must be laid at the door of his incompetent predecessor. So, 40 points, third wrapped up by the split, or Naismith out. Then it moves on ti win the cup or Naismith out. What a time to be alive. Then it moves on to Naismith out because even though we've achieved all of the above I still don't like him. Naismith out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Sir Craig Levein's St Johnstone side could still catch us but only on goal difference So either a point for us in Dingwall or Saints dropping points at Celtic Park would make them the fourth entry on the list 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Pleased to see us getting moving early. Think we'll need quite a few this summer. A lot needing done to that squad and a decent number on the way out, I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
