Presumably they’ve sold enough season tickets for them to announce to the fans they’ll be spending all their money on a new pitch instead of players for next season.

Hearts are charging £300 for a kid to be a mascot against Celtic or Hibs.
How much do Hibs charge ?

Well this will help with flagging season ticket sales won’t it!
And the new super dooper pitch. Something about that announcement makes me smell as rat. A big fat ugly Budge type rat. They need to do something about the pitch but I’m atead of replacing the Skoda with a VW they want to go immediately to a Aston Martin. I have a feeling this wee arrangement will be financed and staged in a way the new stand is.
More and more cash needed for the stand. So money must be tight. Levein loves to pass the pressure on to others with another young coach in Maclean. He is desperate to get back to DOF role asap - all the power and zero accountability.

MacLean has scored 5 goals for St Johnstone this season, 2 less than Rowan Vine scored for them the season before joining us. :-)

I don't think the FoH pledgers will accept another diversion from the target of paying off Budge and taking control themselves.
The collections for the sum promised to fund the Budge folly must be complete and £ 2.5 million + interest to buy the HOMFC shares from Bidco is the pot the DD's will be channeled towards.

There is another difference - if we want to put other facilities in (new pitches / equipment) we dont have to ask the owner.
Staffing costs etc will be broadly the same for East Mains and Riccarton, they pay a hefty fee to rent it, but if we want to upgrade facilities, we pay ourselves - swings and roundabouts in my opinion.
However - regardless of whether people think its worthwhile - its an asset on Hibs balance sheet, whereas Riccarton is plainly not.
Of course we could still be avoiding dug***** at the Jack Kane

Reputedly because of Hibs previous bad experiences with Edinburgh Council thy high tailed it out of the capital altogether so that there could be no EDC meddling or restrictive shenanigans.

My dad was speaking to him a year or maybe two years ago, when he was in good form, and suggested to him that we could do with him at Easter Road. While he said he would love to, he admitted that it was never going happen then at his stage of his career, in addition to the wear and tear on his body that dictates that he can only play on grass.
If this is the market Hearts are now shopping in, then this is very good news indeed.

Thanks! I wonder if HWU had any discussions with us before going into a long term partnership with them also?

Most of the downsides to owning EM are in the past in my opinion, and however we look at it is an asset on the (legendary) balance sheet,something we own and paid for. Riccarton, for the thieves is all in the cash out column.

I don't know. Originally HMFC (still under Robinson) & HWU were meant to be equal partners at Riccarton (£2.5m each with the rest coming from SportScotland), however when it came to putting the funding together, Hearts financial situation was so precarious that they didn't meet the requirements for the SportScotland grant, therefore HWU had to bin them as partners and go it alone, albeit with HMFC as tenants.

It really shouldn't be like this but they played fast and loose with public money before and failed to do anything meaningful about the accruing debt.
