Delighted to confirm that we have now paid over the final instalment to Ann Budge’s BidCo for the loan payment made in 2014 to save the club. Next stage: the transfer of BidCo’s majority shareholding of the club to the Foundation - likely to be around the end of April.
On behalf of all Foundation members, we placed a wreath at Tynecastle today in memory of our great Cup-winning skipper, Marius Zaliukas. Our very sincere condolences go to his family and friends.
🚨 To celebrate our 10k post we’re giving away the jersey used in the historic Heart and Soul Day photos signed by Ann Budge and Stuart Wallace.

A wee story about Robbie. Last time round, one of our directors gave a talk to the players about the story of FoH. Silence at the end! Robbie: “right lads, anything FoH needs, you do it. If it wasn’t for them, you wouldn’t be f*cking here.” Welcome home, Robbie!
We are delighted to announce that our total donations have surpassed £15,000,000.
This incredible milestone has been achieved thanks to the continued and unmatched backing of more than 8,700 pledgers.
Thank you!

Manage your pledge:
This one’s for you…
The fans that stood up when you were needed.
The fans that never walked away.
The fans the wouldn’t let their club die.
The fans who will NEVER let their club die.
The fans, the owners, the legends in the stands!

News to brighten up a pretty awful stormy evening, Hearts fans have broken yet another record. We now have more than 8800 active pledgers - the highest number ever. Thank you. Amazing.

The FoH board would like to wish Robbie Neilson all the very best for the future. Robbie gave us all some wonderful memories during his time at the club. He was also a huge supporter of and friend to the Foundation, and we are extremely appreciative of that. Thank you, Robbie.
That's the transfer of the pledges for the club signed off for this month and again, it's a record, coming in at the memorable figure of £151,000. Just incredible. Thank you

As expected,
@JamTarts
fans stand up a damn sight faster than some club chairmen. That’s more than 100 new or increased pledges following today’s news. Thank you!

Such sad news about the great Drew Busby. A giant for Hearts in the 1970s and a massive favourite with fans then and ever since. Our condolences to his family and his many friends.
An utterly shameful, pathetic act of vandalism at Tynecastle yesterday. If this was really the act of a Hearts 'supporter', it's a gross insult to the badge and, perpetrated on the plaza named for the fans who did so much to save the club, it's a shocking insult to all of them.
In the past 24 hours, another 205 supporters have set up new pledges. Again, just astonishing and testament to the commitment that has taken us to the position of being the biggest fan-owned club in the UK. Thank you

700 new/increased pledges since lockdown - over 400 in last week alone.
Just wow! 👍
FoH chair Stuart Wallace hails fans and insists: 'something special is happening'
An update on yesterday's figures. Since lockdown, we have now had 1000 new pledges, increased pledges, and one-off donations. Awesome and humbling.
@JamTarts
supporters have shown their true colours yet again.
#pledgeforlife
Plenty of banter from fans of other clubs this past couple of days. Absolutely no problem with that - all part of the game. Meanwhile, yesterday and so far today, we have had more than 70 new pledges. Best banter of all.
#pledgeforlife
Heartfelt thanks to all who've made a new pledge, increased an existing pledge, or made a one-off donation recently. Today, that number has risen by 125; over the weekend, the figure is 254; since SPFL called the leagues 535; since lockdown 823. Breathtaking.
#pledgeforlife
Plenty of passion and atmosphere among younger fans behind the pledging scene right now, which is doing so much to help to drive the club forward.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Walter Smith. Lasting image of him applauding every Hearts player at the conclusion of the 1998 Cup final. A gentleman.
