Hearts vs. Raith Rovers

[WSDR 88 464]

The first in what should be the second fixture against each other of the season.

 

Footballing side, no idea what our team/bench will look like with the Covid-19 outbreak last week. Haven’t had a game since Queens (29-Dec), and training would be limited due to the outbreak. No idea when players are due back either. Other than the announcement yesterday, it is game on however.

 

Hearts fans, £18.50 for the stream... is that because Budge is desperate to claw some of the legal fee’s money back (obviously tongue & cheek), or has that been your price for all league games this season? Seems well pricey, and had we not had games called off, I would probably have sacked it off & just listened to it, but since we’ve not had a game in weeks, I’ll grudgingly pay it.

Double header, Raith v Hearts at Starks on Tuesday, seeing as we won't have trained for at least 10 days I expect a double pumping, if we take 1 point from 6 then I'd be reasonably happy.

[Paco 3,646]

Yeah this could be any number. Would expect McGlynn to keep his cards close to his chest about exactly who we have available, but clearly we’ll be missing a number of players, and of those who are available they a) haven’t played since Dec 29th and b) will have had a handful of training sessions since the New Year.

5-0 Hearts.

It's been the price all season for their streaming. To no surprise at all, almost nobody from the away supports seems to be paying it.

No patronising Hearts fans in here yet with their predictable, condescending banter. Incoming, surely.

Kirkcaldy is one of the finest towns in Fife but only because you get a good view of Edinburgh from it

That kind of thing?

We should probably have an FAQ for questions like this

We're getting PPV games in lieu of season tickets so the equivelant price for non ST holders and opposition fans is equivelant to what you'd pay for the cheapest "Walk up" ticket. i.e. the first 9 rows behind the goals (Although much to the annoyance of penny pinching Perthers those seats aren't always on sale in the away end). 

It's a bit more expensive than other clubs PPV offerings but the bulk of Hearts season ticket holders bought seats in more expensive parts of the ground and are effectively paying substantially more than the cheap seat price. That may be some consolation to you it will also explain a certain lack of sympathy

What home fans pay for a season not away fans problem

Budge obviously needing cash to pay for expensive new signing

I'm another Raith fan giving this a miss

And what you won't pay is not the home fans problem

I suggest you take the money you save and invest in a good bottle of Chablis but make sure to chill it properly.

A Raith Rovers fan complaining about PPV prices? At least Hearts don't vary them dependant upon who they are playing.

No they vary their seat prices depending on what row in a stand you sit in instead...

Thanks for your concern but save your suggestions for Neilson and Budge

Our standard price is £14.

But, we sometimes offer a couple of quid off to fans of clubs we deem to be good guys.

Yup, the Capital looks amazing from a distance too. The Grassmarket is my Mecca. Bannermans literally calls to me

Only 3 clubs get your standard price, but the club calls them premium games. Sort out your story. Just a wee team.

Much better view of Edinburgh from Burntisland tbh. All about the view of East Lothian from Kirkcaldy.

Maybe it's because the clubs whose fans get the couple of pound discount haven't royally shafted their creditors, tax payers and fellow clubs in the last decade.

Just saying.

Anyway, to the game... who knows how we'll line up and it's already giving me the fear. No idea which players were out as a result of the covid cases and there's always a possibility others have to miss out too this week depending on testing. 

Won't be paying the £18.50 to watch us get pumped
