Save our Hearts!

Hearts remain in deep financial crisis and it is vital that all fans rally round. As a supporters club, here's what we are doing and what we are advising members to do:

Pledge - If you can afford to do so, please pledge to support the Foundation of Hearts, which is trying to bring the club into fan ownership. To sign up, visit

Season-tickets - York Hearts are to buy season tickets for 2013/14 for use equally by members. To pay for this, we need membership renewal money ASAP. All membership money this Sumer will go on season-tickets. If you've not already renewed, please do so by giving your tenner to a committee member.

Social - There will be a club fundraising social for HMFC in The Lighthorseman in Fulford Road on July 20 from 7pm. We need a big turnout so bring yourselves, friends, neighbours, colleagues, family etc. There'll be beer, music, pig-racing, raffle, darts etc. Prizes will include use of the season-tickets for the Edinburgh derby on Aug 10 at Tynecastle.

Derby-day For those who don't win the raffle.... We would ordinarily run a trip to the first home derby. This year, we are taking the unusual step of not doing so. Instead, we encourage those who would have gone to give HMFC some or all of the money they'd have otherwise spent on travel. The match is likely to sell out in any case so this approach should ensure Hearts get more of our money, instead of the train or petrol companies.
