You're just a Muggle. Everyone knows that's section 9 3/4 and leads direct to Leveins private box

That's not a place decent people go! 🤢

Is this 100% genuine?

I am guessing no, why is it painted blue and not pink

They’ve applied for a partial completion certificate for the parts of the Budge folly they are using with “Fire safe voids “ being formed in the unused areas ( that’s the lounges and sky snack shack that they can’t afford to finish.

so it’s all part of grand plan.

What exactly became of their escalator - does it actually exist or has it gone the same way as the 'Stunning View of Edinburgh Castle' ??

[HibbyDave]

As an aside, IF they order a new hybrid pitch how long will it take to lay it and bed it in?
Close season is fairly short so maybe kick-off next season back at Murrayfield?

Don’t worry, Budge has got it all under control, she’s found a cheap supplier in the Far East and just has to put the order in on time...

Takes 6 weeks to lay Hybrid pitch but you would want a free weeks to try it out, get moisture right etc so would say starting by end of May would give them that.

I am willing to put on record now that when it comes to the crunch they will decide against it at 11th hour (with season ticket renewals in the bag) and relay pitch. The issue they have is they need a full pitch relay which is far more than just the turf. They need to start that at end of May as well.

They won’t be in Europe so have a little more time than the rest of us 😉

Dozens of yams missed the last match because it broke down while they were on it.

I thought iit would take much longer as they will need to lift existing pitch and undersoil heating etc then prepare site before starting to lay new foundations and super duper new grass/ plastic.

Doesn’t matter what they lay, it’s not going to get any bigger so every game played there will be the same battle they always have. They will lead the bookings and red card league for as long as they remain at Tynecastle.

There's a moderately interesting and very detailed Q&A with Ann Budge on Kickback.

At the very top, the first question, is 'what is the capacity?'

The answer is that it is 20,000. Not around that figure, or just over that amount, but exactly. Amazing that they have built the stand exactly to such a round and significant figure......

So there you go. Even if they can never fill or sell that many seats (because they don't exist), the official capacity is 20,000.

The fannies will actually accept that too.

Unless Hibs are visiting, the effective capacity is around 18,500. As Hibs get the whole stand, it avoids having a segregation line and pushes the capacity up to just over 19,000.

We obviously live in a post truth society where crooks like Trump and Johnson not to mention Buudge can play fast and loose with what is obvious.

[Peevemor]

Our safety certificate at the moment allows us to sell up to 95% capacity (due to the control room restricting views).

1000 seats due to the control room? Really?

Is there a plan to build a TV studio?


AB: Yes, there is a preferred plan, and that is to house it at the top/rear of the new stand. It would be approximately mid-way between the halfway point and the corner nearest the control room. It would have a glass fronted window overlooking the stadium. Current designs might see the loss of a couple of rows of seats directly in front of it. This is still being checked out by our structural engineers.

A glass fronted window? Is this a first?

How much does it cost us to rent our training/Academy space at Riccarton and do you view it as good value for money?


AB: It costs in the region of £450,000 per annum and yes, we consider it good value for money. I would also add that we now have a performance school at Balerno so that's also very exciting for the future. We want to produce good young players through our performance school and our academy, play them in the first team, and then, when the time is right, sell them on for a profit. The facilities at Riccarton are magnificent. In fact, one player we've shown around there recently described it as "fantastic". When players come to see what we have to offer, we show them the training/academy facilities at Riccarton. Then we bring them to Tynecastle and they'll see the new stand, and the improved stadium, and then we show them the city centre and what Edinburgh has to offer. Players are usually very impressed.

Well there you go!

That second quote made me spit out my tea....

*** hilarious stuff!

[Ozyhibby]

They used to pay a lot less at riccarton. HW obviously put up the prices on them, maybe trying to recoup some of the cash. East Mains cost us a similar amount but the price there will only rise with inflation.
