Bigger fan base but other teams fans aremore loyal. Man City and Chelsea, vice greatest fans in the world.
I must have missed the news stories about City and Chelsea having to close parts of their stadium as their fans can't be bothered turning up...

Yep. Hearts are toast. They need £500k purely to get to the start of the season, they have negative cashflow with their recent share issue, 6000 seasons tickets worth of money and everything other income source already spent.
They can't sell next seasons strips as they haven't paid the suppliers and their stadium is about to be sold out from under them.

They have to try and persuade fans to buy season books for reserve team games next year.

The real question is what happens if they muddle through to play the first few games then go under. Also what if Dundee decide to appeal the decision of the SPL to declare that Hearts weren't insolvent and didn't warrant a points deduction which would have relegated them.
