Seven from York made the trip north to Tynecastle on Sunday, for the SPL match against Celtic. A further 12 gathered in the White Horse to watch it on TV. Sadly, the turnout was one of few highs on a pretty grim day for Hearts, who went down tamely to a 2-0 defeat.
The trip went fairly well, aside from a couple of unplanned/unwanted diversions via Sunderland and Ripon on the way home. As ever, the pub and chippy were about as good as it got once we hit Edinburgh.
If anyone wants to go to Hearts v Hamilton next Wednesday night (Nov 12) please let us know. A few of us are considering going up by road. Bear in mind that Gav will be going - and he hasn't seen us win at Tynecastle for 13 months now, so may be something of a jinx.

Next Official Trip
The next YHSC trip to Tynecastle will be on Saturday 29th Nov when the JT's take on Rangers in the SPL.
Due to a 12.30pm KO this will mean an early start for travel. Due to the St Andrews Day Dance being held the previous evening, the decision has been made that there will be no road transport for this game. Travel arrangements will consist of a train from York to Edinburgh departing from York at 07.40hrs and returning to York shortly after the match finishes. Definate times have still to be agreed but this will depend on the numbers travelling.
Would all members interested in travelling please contact Gav in order that we can establish numbers for train tickets and match tickets.

Photo help...
More than 400 pictures have now been uploaded to the York Hearts photo albums on Picasa. There are various albums, covering trips to matches; the raceday in May; last year's St Andrew's Night bash; the 10k charity run; and the six and seven-a-side teams. A lot of the captions are still pretty basic or boring though so we'd like to encourage folk to use the comments option on the albums and suggest captions or just have a bit of a laugh. Pint goes to whoever gives the best caption by this time next week.

Photos galore...
The new York Hearts online photo-gallery is now up and running, with hundreds upon hundreds of pictures spanning the past two years.

Our previous photo-host folded earlier this year, but we're now in the process of putting all our various pictures back online, in one place. If you have pictures you'd like to add, let us know. Meantime, why not take a look and comment on some of the ones already there.

Beer we go, beer we go, beer we go
A number of York Hearts members recently completed the 10k run at Castle Howard, to raise money for Cancer Research. We have also been raising money in various other ways, and will continue to do so at the forthcoming St Andrew's Night bash. As part of the efforts, one of our members Kev Jones managed to get Leeds Brewery to produce a special limited-edition beer for us called Hearts of Gold, which was sold at various pubs in York including Kev's own pub, Brigantes.It's now run out on cask, but the brewery has agreed to produce some for bottling, if we can order in advance. A case of 12 x 500ml bottles will cost £18 (£1.50 a bottle) and 25p from every bottle sold will go to Cancer Research.
Can people please contact comittee members Gav Aitchison, Sam Outing, Brian Dall or Ian Warner placing any orders. We'd need to ask for money ASAP so we can pay up front. It's a really nice beer, and it will have a Hearts label on it, so a crate would also make a good Christmas present for friends or relatives.
Cheers!
