Every time you think they've disappeared without trace, they bob back up like an unflushable jobby. Nobody can figure out the reason for their popularity and they are smug enough to give everybody the boak. The day they are finally consigned to oblivion, there will be rejoicing throughout the land. More of a Cliff Richard, been re-invented so many times, everyone hadn't heard about them in years and assumed they were dead, plenty of accusations and dodgy rumours surrounding them and both draw their support from the ageing and beige(ing) section of society. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By everyone you're meaning pundits and media who are ignorant of everything outside the top flight and have no clue what happens in the lower leagues. Fans of the other 29 teams certainly had heard of us in those years, we were up and down those league like a yoyo during that spell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Mercer Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The hibs fan who sent a letter to the Lithuanian president about hearts is definitely up there. Dear Mr Gustas, I write to you as a concerned and ashamed Scotsman to inform you of an attempt by fellow Scottish people to defraud the Republic of Lithuania of many millions of pounds. You are no doubt aware of the plight of Ukio Bankas, UBIG and the dreadful conduct of the major shareholder in both of these companies Vladimir Romanov. But it is another of his ventures, namely his interest in Heart of Midlothian football club in Edinburgh I would like to draw your attention to. Since 2006 Mr Romanov has ploughed many millions of pounds, estimates believed to be as much as ?85million, which has now turned out to be money he nor his banking groups could afford to invest, and these concerns raised many times over by the financial and football authorities here in Scotland. These concerns were continually ignored by officials at Hearts and also by their support who were happy to accept the success that has turned out to be the people of your countries money. Please also note that Romanov was refused permission to purchase shares at 2 other clubs. This is because he could not fund the regimes he was looking to put in place. This was ignored by Heart of Midlothian. They operated throughout his tenure with substantial losses which have now come to be at the Lithuanian tax payers expense. I would like to reiterate at this point that they have spent ?85 million pounds of your money. I would also like to bring to your attention their failure to pay charities, police costs, healthcare costs and uk taxes owed during this time. The current state of affairs at Heart of Midlothian sees them in administration and seeking a deal whereby the shares currently owned by UBIG, Ukio bankas and Ukio Bankas security on Tynecastle stadium in Edinburgh is sold to Bidco for the paltry sum of ?2.5million. It is at this point I would like to make you aware of several areas of prime development land in Edinburgh that have sold recently for many millions of pounds over the ?2.5million currently being offered to your people. It is at this point I would also say that it is my opinion that you would not be serving the people of Lithuania if you did not recover as much of their money that this organisation has taken with no intention of paying back. I would urge you to seek trustworthy advice on the value of the assets before proceeding with any deal as there is no doubt accepting an offer of ?2.5 million is depriving your people of many of millions of pounds. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the disgusting way in which this organisation has squandered many millions of pounds of your countries money. I find it totally unacceptable and would urge you to use all of your power in recouping your peoples money. If the tables were turned, it would be the least I would expect of my government. I would also appreciate your thoughts on the issues I have raised and if you are able to, your intentions in the future regarding these. I look forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Mr Kevin Moffatt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Ho-lee shit! That was almost certainly down to the Official Supporters' Club (Dave Baxter & Co.), not the Brake Club. We attracted the likes of John Peel and Rick Wakeman, though to be honest the second one might not attract as much street cred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
