1-0 Hearts. Tap in followed by Gordon saving the day for the next 30-40 minutes

I watched Scotland v England & Scotland v Ireland in 2014 from Celtic’s main stand. I would say it was better than Ibrox main stand, (also been in at Scotland games) though the away corner at Ibrox is probably better than the away corner at Celtic.

Still a 50/50 gate split I believe. Interesting to see if Celtic actually put fans in the away corner. (Don’t get a ticket there, the view is awful compared to the main stand)

If nothing else I appreciate St Mirren building their ground right next to a train station, and am sad I can’t come this time.

In fairness Brockville made New Douglas Park look like Tottenham’s new ground. There was no way anyone sane would have wanted it in the top flight in 2000.

Hearts also promised 18 games whenever they happen live for this year’s season tickets but have since gone back on it, saying they want people to count streams as their games and take any difference in price on a gift card for club merchandise or hospitality when we can go again. We can get refunds but the club has said they are fucked if everyone wants a refund, so have asked fans just to take the streams. Presumably every other club that promised live games on their season tickets will end up saying similar things.

His goal at Ibrox was easily one of the best moments I ever had at a Hearts game, cup finals aside.

It’s been like that since the 90’s if I recall correctly.

Based on the numbers who turned up for cup parades it’s accurate. Of course the vast majority of them would never have contributed to the business, but in a pr statement it’s not a surprising claim. Edit: also it’s certainly possible they could have sold 100,000 tickets to the 2012 cup final.

Alas I fear you’d be disappointed. If Budge didn’t think it’d be positive on the charity work she, Big Hearts etc are doing there’s no way the show would be happening. It’ll just be lame pr fluff, hey maybe the eccentric manager will swear a few times if they decide to clone the Graham Taylor documentary.

Hearts season ticket information implies they still expect this match will happen at some point.

Hearts haven’t dropped season ticket prices, beyond giving current ST holders a £50 discount as a make good for the cancelled matches. Excluding discount most seats in the main stand and Wheatfield stand are £27.77 a match regardless of what league the team is in. I would imagine it’s very likely away tickets at Hearts are still going to be £29 at least, even if we’re in the Championship.

Eight yea votes needed from the Championship, and they only got seven

I think Aberdeen tickets make lovely bookmarks, in lieu of them having any other purpose.

£31.50 for the Rangers cup game yesterday, £33.50 for Hibs away today. Am sure Hearts will respect the £65 people paid for tickets for these games & will try not to get humped.

I’d imagine it’ll happen, FIFA will want it to happen everywhere. The day will come when they can cut to ads while the referees are deliberating a la the NFL, and can get more tv money as a result.

What, you think Berra, Uche and all will struggle with Gengenpressen? [emoji6]

Hearts don’t have that many walk up fans I’d imagine, vast majority of the Tynecastle crowd have season tickets. Walk up prices are such that you can miss 6 games and the season tickets is still cheaper.

Hibs v Hearts was £28 for away fans (full price) in the championship:

Wouldn’t surprise me, but who knows. Are there guidelines in the rule book about playing in thunder storms?

Briscoes had nuclear heat at the last RoH show in Edinburgh, watching that I can see why ICW thought they’d be a good way of getting whichever faces they’re against over.

St Mirren just missed a sitter, one where it was far harder to miss than score.

Jeez that looks horrendous, makes me glad for my nice padded seat in section C.

He may not feel there's any choice.

I reckon it wouldn't be that difficult to get a ticket for the home end but hearts won't sell them to people without an account that previously bought tickets on police advice I believe.
