In terms of your emotional, financial and straight up time dedication, how much do you invest in your football club?

I've always been a bit of an obsessive when it comes to football, especially Hearts. For a long time the result at the weekend would decide my mood for the whole week. I'd not only buy my season ticket, replica shirt and spend money on away trips, but I'd spend a large part of every day reading about the latest news, discussing the club online and basically just constantly thinking about my Tarts!

For a while I managed to take a step back, but these days I feel like I'm pretty much on the obsessive track once more.

I haven't had a season ticket since I've been at Uni and often work at the weekend, but I go whenever I can and still go to away days (unfortunately, after today's fruitless trip to Motherwell).

In addition to that, I spend the best part of each day reading, writing and discussing Hearts.

I'm gonna chuck myself in the top bracket, even though I know I don't spend as much financially as I once did, or as much as many others do.

So, how much do you feel that YOU invest in your club....?

Wish i could say i was as devoted to my club as yourelf but im not, i actually feel a little guilty saying i invest very little because for the last 4/5 years or so i have made ZERO contribution to my club.

Hats off to guys like yourself who follow their team especially clubs that are not either half of the OF, guess it would be easy to follow one of the big two but some out their have more sense than us.

Well, when I say investment I don't mean just financially, indeed maybe that isn't the main thing.

As I say, I don't spend as much as I used to - but mainly because I can't afford to at the moment.

Many others will spend more, and manage European away trips and such like, but maybe throughout the rest of the time they aren't too bothered.

Overall I just feel that I invest a lot of ME in Hearts. So it isn't all about money really.
