Or, just as important 202 days gone ( the project got underway at the beginning of the year IIRC )

Also, I see that last week they applied and got a temporary occupation certificate to use the Wheatfield Stand undercroft for the Newcastle game which expired after 24 hours. They have not bothered with one for East Fife so, for today's game, they really should be changing behind the goals.

Cathro's comments today on the BBC sounds like they have nee dosh Hearts v East Fife (15:00)

Posted at14:49

Hearts head coach Ian Cathro: "The season has started so we are focused on what we need to do to win the game. We will be managing John Souttar's comeback properly. He is looking stronger than before. It will be nice to see him on the pitch. We are not overly close on the next additions. I don't expect anything to happen too soon. The market is not one where we can do what we want."

What a roaster.

[edwards]

Always will and always has been a sh-t pit hate going and giving them money and glad they are now reeping the benefits of the cash cow and they are struggling with the stand.

So if they are playing a game at Tynecastle today why did they need to get their league fixtures changed

Because they have 13,000 season ticket holders, can't fit them all in with 3 stands

While a stand-ful of diasappointed Jambo ST holders wouldn't bother either one of us, if would cause loads of grief down Gorgie.

99% won't be ready given that picture.

I am willing to bet Budge is keeping it close to her inner circle of directors (her partner, friend, Levein) and it will come out in next few weeks.

They have to be made to play at the ground rather than disrupt other teams plans, hospitality booked etc.

Isn't there some rule in place whereby playing even one home game there would force them to have to play every team at the same venue at least once?

Fair point, that's why they asked though. The clubs could have said no

Just over 6,000 at Tynie today

I mentioned this a few weeks back and a fellow poster stated it would be on safety grounds with the cranes etc being near the pitch.

Why did they get to play Newcastle and play at home today??

They are wanting everyone else to bend over backwards to help them and if they don't everyone else will be to blame!

Cake and eat it scenario and it'll be down to money and trying to keep it quiet from the hordes. Imagine the uproar from those thick roasters when the penny finally drops??

I think you're right, but maybe some could confirm

[Libby Hibby]

Or they just play in front of 3 stands

It's because all the machinery and works are moving onto the pitch side.

Take measures to protect it.

Was reading this thread on Hearts' stadium development while the Father in Law is watching the Hurling from what looks like a fantastic stadium. After an inquiry he told me it is a new GAA stadium, Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork that has it's very first game today. I'd love to watch football in a modern ground like that - a 45,000 capacity with two stands either side with two huge open terraces behind each goal. The crowd today for Clare v Tipperrary (neutral venue) is 28,000 but the ground still looks pretty full.
The new stand will look fine at Tynecastle when completed, but it's another 4 shoebox design so popular with our clubs. I much prefer this

Sounds daft but pitch side to me is not on the pitch?? I take it you mean that the machinery etc will be on the pitch??

Great option, but there would be an uproar, if all season ticket holders couldn't get in!

What is their capacity with 3 stands anyway?

Spot the difference. Doesn't look very different to the photo taken before the Newcastle game

Circa 12k.

The uproar that will be caused if they don't finish in time is all their own doing.

Had a quick look Billy (mainly because I'm not interested enough to be arsed to go through it in any more depth) and all I can see is the ground must be their registered ground where the club has to play its home games unless prior written permission is granted to do otherwise. Can see anything about each opposition given the chance to play at the same venues.

This is what I don't get!!

They are at it and Budge expects every club to be considerate to their plight!!

Think it means that at some point the heavy machinery will move to the pitch side of the stand, but not before the Dumfy game.

LH thanks. I kinda got what they were saying but still find it hard to believe they haven't put in place a contingency with the SPFL etc.

They have under estimated this project and from the off!!

Used to be a rule that you had to play all the round matches at the same home venue. I'm presuming if the stand isn't ready for the Dons home game, there options are to play at home with a reduced capacity, or ask Aberdeen to switch it. I was surprised TV hasn't asked to cover this game, at a sell out Tynecastle😂, but maybe Hearts couldn't give them assurances, that it would be ready in time!

[Gmack7]

Is the current pitch staying or are they laying another when the stand is finally complete?
