YHSC Poker Night at Brigantes

Ladies and gents, we are holding a poker night next Wednesday 4th March 8pm ko,at Brigantes on Micklegate. Anyone interested in playing, please use the comments section or text Brian on 07825 567579. Numbers are limited so please let me know asap if you require a place at the top table and if you are interested in paying for a buffet on the night.

Campbell Ogilvie Visit

REMINDER: Hearts' managing director, Campbell Ogilvie, will be meeting York Hearts members in Brigantes, Micklegate, on Monday night. We will begin at 7pm. All members and their guests are welcome. The bigger the turnout here the better.

Down the line...

Hearts v Celtic on Saturday 11 April (Easter weekend) will now kick-off at 12.30pm and be shown live on TV. This is the game we had earmarked for our main April trip. Can people give an indication now if they would like to go to this, so we can get a rough idea of numbers.

Tickets

The ticket application for the forthcoming SPL derby at Easter Road has been sent off to HMFC. Those who applied will be notified as soon as we hear anything. A number of those on the list don't have many loyalty points though, so there's a fair chance we won't hear anything until the public sale begins. Judging by the number of tickets we got for the Scottish Cup game though, we can hopefully be optimistic that everyone who has applied for this one will be successful.

Also, can people please let me know if they're up for a trip to Hearts v Motherwell on Wednesday 4 March, either by rail (and staying overnight in Edinburgh) or by road and going up and back on the day.

Next trips...

Now that we're out of the cup, the next official trip is likely to be to the Edinburgh derby at Easter Road on Saturday 14 March (lunchtime kick-off). If there's enough interest, we may also run a trip to Hearts v Motherwell on Wednesday 4 March. Please advise by this Friday (13 Feb) which, if either, you want to go on.

Hearts 0-1 Falkirk

A gorup of 12 from York Hearts made the trip to Tynecastle for yesterday's Scottish Cup 5th round clash with Falkirk.

In a match riddled with controversy, Hearts lost 1-0 to a goal that looked offside. The Jambos were also awarded a penalty, only for the decision to be reversed following protests from the visitors - the second such incident at Tynecastle in less than four months.

Each side also had a man sent off, as Hearts saw their first-half dominance peter out after the break.

The trip from York went smoothly, despite bizzards in northern England. Wehad nine in the minibus, with a further three joining us in Edinburgh. The Border Butties and Gorgie Fish Bar were, alas, the main highlights.

Raffle results

The Federation rally took place in Edinburgh on Sunday. Only one raffle winner from all the tickets we sold - Frank from Gav's work won the Odeon cinema tickets. Thanks again to everyone who sold tickets; it's much appreciated.
