Hearts are going to play European games in a stadium with a capacity over three times that of Tynecastle, so it would be in their best interests to try and fill the ground as much as they can.

Targetting rugby fans is a good idea, but will they be willing to pay £25 minimum to watch a team they don't follow? I doubt it.

Hearts should make the tickets for families and children at vastly reduced rates. After all, they may only play two games there, but if they do qualify, they will be playing two top european sides and another well known European side in the group stage. Getting families and children to go would help their fanbase in the future rather than the short term interest of rugby fans.

A good idea in theory, but the price of European ties would put them off. After all, they cannot discount European ties too much, especially when hiring a large stadium like Murrayfield, which will cost them a lot of money, which Romanov would like to recoup.

b. They asked nicely.

iii. I'm not a Hibees fan.

Hearts fans don't turn out to watch Hearts so what makes you think rugby fans will be any different?

We had @ 30,000 in the Schalke game, a sprinkling of "egg chasers" wouldn't hurt I suppose! Fiercely Edinburgh and Scottish into the bargain! I can foresee a 3/4 full Murrayfield of Hearts fans anyway. Watch the rich put down their Salmon sandwiches and pick up the Steak & Gravy pie!!!
