I read there were 1700 fans at the Dumbarton/Hearts match yesterday. No news or anything but would be headline stuff if it were us. The question is how do they survive when our "paltry" 31000 at Ibrox isn't enough for us to get by on?
The answer has to be to cut overheads, reign in directors' and managements' salaries, live within our means. You'd think Hearts wouldn't be able to live with Rangers on their wage base and yet some are tipping them to win the league. I'd like to see a decent Board as much as the next guy but reading in the DR today to starve the club into administration isn't a route I want to go. I reckon I'd chuck it in and go full time Chelsea fan then!
{Ed039's Note - The game as at Dumbarton who have a capacity of 2000 before segregation so pretty good crowd, judge Hearts of their home attendancies KF
Chuck it and become a Chelsea fan! WOW that pritty much sums you up then mate as I could never do anything like that. And why you talking about Hearts attendance away from home what's that got to do with anything?
@1, well let me put it as simply as possible. Based on our attendances which are vastly superior to those of our opponents, we should not be in a position where our outlays are greater than our income. Our fan base gives us a great advantage and yet we're the only club in our league struggling to stay afloat.
That is what happens when you bring in players on stupid money for playing lower league football because of the fear to play the youth. The club is skint because they think they are an SPL club while on the income of a lower league club, simple economics, don't spend what you don't have.
The reason the club are skint is because we are being run by a board that are not fit for purpose. Our wage bill is 6 million and we had 70 million in the bank 2 and a half years ago. Explian that one
Allymac i ain't the wage bill that's the problem its the non playing board members getting double bubble for everything the team does plus the massive pay offs when they leave the club bunch of greedy barstewds ide line them up against a wall
