[The Underfaker]

It’s up against Derby vs Notts Forest in the English Championship

 

[Gio#56]

Torn between watching this or

BBC Two NI​

Friday 26 February 2021 - Linfield v Larne (Danske Bank Premiership)

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Excuse the pure dafty question, but if the game's on BBC Scotland Channel, why are Hearts fans paying for a VST for the game?

 

[Main Stand]

It’s up against Derby vs Notts Forest in the English Championship

Battle of the staunch

McCann, Halliday and Halkett against Waghorn and Edmundson.

Could throw in the likes of Walker and Shinnie too

[govanrear1987]

Good effort in fairness

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

I know some Hearts fans who have been buying 4,5,6 of these and encouraging the same. Bit of a love-in going on, probably sold to <2500 unique buyers.

How could you miss out big Joe “%^*& the Celtic” Worall?

 

[WinkieWATP]

Have ICT ever sold 10k tickets for anything before?

What’s the story behind it when it’s on free to air tv??

Psychology has let us know that the brain can suppress traumatic memories, big Joe and his efforts at Killie fall into that category

 

[Junior Ganymede]

McCann Loyal.

%^*& Hearts.

They both share our hatred of the SPFL.

As it’s on bbc ICT are missing out on the Hearts fans buying their game on their ppv, and with hearts likely to be one of the largest supports doing so it was a big loss. So they are selling “tickets” as a way to people pay if they wish, with a John Robertson signed match ticket being sent to them as a reward. I believe it’s a thank you for ICT letting Hearts keep the money from away tickets back when Hearts where in financial trouble. Good to see clubs working together

ICTFC Announce first ever "virtual tickets" v Hearts - ICTFC

A number of weeks ago, our club CEO Scot Gardiner was approached by Stevie Kilgour, the General Secretary of the Federation of Hearts Supporters, to discuss how Hearts fans could look to assist Caley Thistle during what has been an extremely onerous financial period for Scottish football. This...

ictfc.com

 

[blue genes]

So, have I got this right...?

10,000 folks have bought virtual tickets for a game that was already on TV, and which they could have watched for hee-haw on BBC Scotland?

Fair play, nice supportive gesture in hard times and all, but other than that, why?

Not sure if I've missed something like a charity donation or something along the way..?

*****Just seen the explanation in above posts, cheers

 

[TheEgg]

sure they get something signed by Robbo in the post, a paper ticket if I remember correctly

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

John Robertson's gonnae have a fair sore hand signing 10,000 tickets.....

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Good Luck to Neil McCann and co tonight!

 

[Brookfield Bear]

It would be great if we could do something similar, perhaps for one of the forthcoming European games.

 

[Main Stand]

Credit to hearts fans there to be fair, keeping income to the clubs is very commendable.

 

[Hotdog Time]

That's quite incredible considering the game is live on BBC Scotland

 

[Barba Roja]

Hoping for an ICT win tonight for McCann and it would be a boost for Robertson to see his side win.

 

[Mols]

Fair play to the ones that’ve bought these. Decent wee club Inverness and hopefully McCann gets off to a flier

 

[cammyranger]

Read on twitter they are doing this because Inverness donated a % of gate money to Hearts when they were in admin.

 

[Bluehart]

It’s up against Derby vs Notts Forest in the English Championship

7/4 for over 2.5 goals. Tells you everything of that's how the bookies are pricing it up.

 

[Noddy]

Some effort from the Hearts fans.

 

[Kilwinnin Bluenose]

Good to see Scottish football come together to help each other out in times of need.

Unless of course it's Rangers eh?

 

[TwoBadMice]

Fair play to them

 

[bluestory]

Think it was part because ICT donated money whilst Hearts were in admin but probably more due to the fact ICT supported Hearts last year against Lawell and co

Money goes to the UVF and the Toaries then they give it to the Rangers ..
Jist to stoap the ten

I like ICT and at least Hearts stood with us and then against the cartel last summer. Fair play to them.
