Wishing them good luck is the last thing I'll be doing. Surprised any Hibs fan would want too.

One of my clients is waiting on a bill being paid by hearts that is well overdue, it's only for drinks etc.. but it does seem that they are running tight on cash. I'd assume due to the overspend on the stand.
I am not sure they have to, someone said X percentage of the stadium was just in cups??
Anyway, most other clubs looked at building plans and said "we need to use 3 stands only this season".
Their big team complex wont allow them to do that, hence the dogs dinner they currently have.
Screw them, make them play at Tynecastle from November.
I think Hibs allowing them any latitude over this issue would cause more of an uproar that the EBT stuff has.
From the SPFL rule book,
I27 The Home club must make provision for the admission of such reasonable number of visiting supporters at every home League Match and Play-Off Match as may be agreed in advance with the Visiting Club and, in the event of their being unable to agree such number not later than 14 days prior to the date of the League Match or Play-Off Match in question, the number of visiting supporters allowed shall be determined by the Board whose decision shall be final and binding.
Maybe not but the sheep bringing 4K more or whatever will have helped either to reduce the loss or for them to make a profit.
No way I would support Hibs fans buying 6-8k of tickets at £26 a pop or whatever for that money to go towards doing the same.
The fact is if they don't have it ready for November then they must start paying for their inability to complete the stand...the sensible thing would be for their 'home' games to be played away at the opposition grounds as if it was an away match. Why should the rest of the league suffer any more disruption or Hearts make additional monies through inflated attendances at Murrayfield due to their own incompetence?
Might be a moot point as they may well scrape enough of the stand together for this not to be an issue but at their current rate of progress that's looking less likely by the day.
If the new stand at the PBS isn't ready in time for the derby then there is a simple solution.
Hearts were willing to reverse fixtures earlier in the season so can have no objection to doing the same with us. Play at Easter Road on 27 December and then at the PBS on 10 March (it will be ready by then, won't it?)
Cheap as chips...

The silvery things on the lower row have deliberately been left half-attached for ventilation, right?
Whereas on the upper row no such ventilation required, that right?
Never mind will it be ready for November - will it have fallen down by November? :dunno:
