Hearts Kicked Out Of Riccarton (?)

[itchy07]

It was mentioned here last week that they were trying to move into the Spartans facilities and i've just heard from someone who works there that Hertz will be training there today. Hope for Spartans sake they've paid up front.

The students of Heriot Watt have spoken 'We want the manky lot out'

That is all.

They won't have to pay anything ! Just checked the the Scottish Assessors web site for Business Rates and the Ainslie Park Academy facility is owned by Edinburgh Council.

Cardownie and Company will fix it for them.

Are you sure? There's nothing about it at all on Kickback

Maybe the EEN will send Pattullo down to get some pictures and he can do a 2 page spread on Hearts' new facilities.

Trying to work out where Hearts will be training next is a fools errand if ever there was one.

I know north Newcastle is quite a hike, but at least its ours.

You guys need to get with the programme. All big teams renege on payments due to academic institutions and get thrown out.

You dinnae win the Champions League by having a conscience.

I'm sure there was something a couple of weeks ago where they had been negotiating to get those training facilities for free.

I couldn't see what the benefits to Spartans would be from that arrangement other than having their pitch ripped to shreds.

Before we go off on a 5 pager with this one can someone confirm that this has happened and if it is permanent? Then we can have a mega-page thread to laught at hahahahearts all over again

Would the last one out please turn out the lights

More likely to do with the frozen pitches at Riccarton?

How? If they're not paying anything for their training facilities then that's another bill/cost that doesn't have to me met.

The council only own the Anslie Park Leisure Centre, not the Spartans Community facility as far as I'm aware. Spartans facility is free to use for local kids when the pitches are not in use - as it was part funded by lottery/sport grants (can't remember which now) - but other than that anyone training there needs to cough up for the pitches.

All the pitches, including the spartans 1st team pitch are artifical so there would be no threat to the pitch being ripped up... on second thoughts, they are a big bunch of cloggers ...

Riccarton has a full size indoor pitch.

Is this going to be another thread about how Hearts are in so much financial turmoil?

.net Mid December - "hearts will lose all thier players in January"
.net Start of January - "oooooh it's coming, finally the mad one is going to have to sell to pay the wages"
.net Mid January - "it'll be the last day of the transfer window, that's when it'll all happen"
.net End of January - "all the bids will come in today and they'll have to take whatever they're offered"

All that came and went without much actually happening. Did they lose anyone who had actually been playing?

So now let's just rip into them for getting booted out of Riccarton.....yay. Bored.

I'll stop being bored when something of note actually happens to them. Like we've been waiting on for how many years now?

The Assessors web site notes 94 Pilton Drive as having Spartans Community Football Academy as tenants and Edinburgh Council as proprietors.

No it doesn't , it does have a full sized artificial grass outside

[Keith_M]

Until we have this confirmed and not just another "I heard"/"My Mate told me"/"From the Fishman" I think the thread title should have "allegedly" added to it.



And before anyone tells me to ignore the thread if I don't like it, the thread is titled Hearts Kicked out of Riccarton, so why wouldn't I be interested to see what it actually says?

It's got a bloody massive indoor pitch then! I've played on it and it can't be that far off full size. Certainly enough to train on if things get a bit chilly. The artificial pitches outside are unplayable in freezing conditions.

[itchy07]

For the record, my original thread title was training facilities. I know nothing about why they've moved to Spartans but i trust the source 100%, i asked him earlier in the week if the rumour was true and he refused to comment but was interested where i'd heard the story.

[heretoday]

I heard they were planning a kickabout in Gorgski Road Aldi car park with trolleys for goalposts but it was cancelled due to the fact that pound coins are required to release them.


What drives me to make up these obviously false and hurtful stories?

[Hibeez Boy!xx]

ive een at riccarton and the place is a mess - full of the yobs, lucky if ive see any uni guys their....hopefully they do get kicked out to make the place be used by usefull people. GGTTH:pfgwa

[h1bs4life]

No idea if they have been kicked oot of Riccarton but just back from Ainslie Park Leisure Centre and they were training on Spartans frozen pitch next door. Lots of flash cars in the car park , not sure if they are all paid for.

[Hibs7]

Hope it is true, another nail in the coffin of the inbred neanderthals can only be a good thing.
