Given that they play a lot of their fixtures on a Friday night, I can't see this going ahead as the pitch would not stand up to the extra wear and tear.

this would destroy our playing surface!! Suppose the income would come in handy though!

How will moving "accommodate hearts"?
...and where the **** are these cheats getting the money to build a new stand?? Maybe they should have used all these millions they wasted on redevelopment instead of a few tainted trophies.

Solution, hertz obviously don't want to lose the income over a season if they redevelop the death trap stand, so move Edinburgh Rugby in there, 10k stadium will more than do them. The hertz can move to the soulless shell that is muddyfield, letting a good part of the 400k get their ST. Hibs are left in their modern stadium to thrive, with no egg chasers or puddledrinkers in sight. Is that a good idea or is it too simple?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

The pitch is am obvious concern but if the clubs canm come up with a solution i would be all for it. Would be a great source of revenue !

Erm... No thanks. Move along now egg chasers and plough up someone else's pitch.

"The possible relocating could accommodate Hearts at BT Murrayfield, according to reports. The Jambos want to redevlop Tynecastle, particularly the main stand and are considering playing elsewhere for a season."
The way the article came across was that Edinburgh Rugby could play at Easter Road, which would allow Hearts to play at Murrayfield. I assume it's not intended to be that as I can't see any reason we should be messing up our pitch so Hearts can have somewhere to play while their midden is getting redeveloped.

I'd go with that but the pitch at the PBS is far too small.

The Hearts bit sounds like it's been shoehorned in there.
Hearts need the rugby side to move in order for them to be accommodated...yet we can accommodate edinburgh rugby? Doesn't make sense.Last edited by Pete; 12-05-2015 at 04:00 PM.

I heard a rumour about Edinburgh Rugby using Easter Rd a while ago and I was told that part of the deal, if it was to go ahead, would be that it was Edin Rugby's responsibility to keep the pitch in a decent condition whether that be paying for getting it relayed, using those big lamps or whatever else.
If that turned out to be the case then I'd be happy for hibs to get the extra revenue.

If this happens I personally wouldn't mind, especially if the pitch upkeep (which it needs to be in good condition for the way we play) part is true which will save us a lot of cash.

Here is Chris ( pieman ) Robinson's take on the PBS and why it was not fit for purpose 12 years ago.

Don't know if this is true but don't Wigan Athletic & Hull City allow their local rugby clubs to use their stadium?
If we're to generate extra income, then I give the thumbs up. My biggest worry though is the potential state of the pitch unless Edinburgh Rugby reassure us that they will take care of the pitch and have it in very mint condition for our games.

Wigan will share their pitch and it's a mess so I assume they've just got a normal grass pitch.

Didn't work the last time Edinburgh Rugby tried this, so dont see why they want to go back again to Easter Road.
With an average crowd of somewhere between 3 and 5 thousand, they really need a much smaller stadium.

When I was a bairn I had a wee unit thing that you could play pool on one side, then flip over the lid and play table hockey. Can we no get a revolving pitch for Easter road? One side for football, one for egg chasing.

Missed their chance I'd say. Surely the time to do this was under Butcher when the ball wasnt in contact with the pitch very much...

Would they not play home games on the Friday's before we play away games? That would mean one game a week on the grass.

When it comes to the crunch. The yams will always be held back by their wee ground. They basically MUST move, but the longer they leave it the further out they'll have to build as all the potential building areas are taken up by other business.Tynecastle could end up being the death of them.

No matter what, this will ruin the pitch and the money involved surely isn't great as Edinburgh Rugby don't get big crowds
they should move the rugby to a club ground and forget football stadiums

Its the sru that would be paying for it and I doubt it would be relative to the size of the crowds they currently get.
