Indeed, the move to shore up the defence by taking off both strikers has paid dividends. :agree:

So, let's see. We get beat yesterday, Hearts finally get to return to Tynecastle in front of a sold out new main stand, playing the team sitting around the bottom of the table. Hammer them in front of their new stand and claw back 3 points against us.

And they **** that up.

And they STILL had less of a crowd than we did against St Johnstone yesterday :hilarious

Thistle puncture Budge’s ever increasing arrogance. Unbelievable she’s got the brass neck to give it the messiah complex when the stand is massively over budget, unfinished, and the team and football department are as bad as I can remember.

Can't believe they didn't tack another 50 or so people on to the announced attendance to at least beat our crowd from yesterday, it's like they just can't be arsed anymore trying to big themselves up.

Maybe they are going to honestly admit then that they do not have a 20,000 seater stadium?

Agreed. Before social media had kicked in as much and I was living down south, I viewed hearts as rivals but can’t say I “hated” them. But now fans opinions are more open and I am back in Scotland, the last 12 years has really increased my dislike of them. They have always hated us with a passion, more than they love their own club. The club had the mentality that as long as something was better than Hibs, then they were ok, and it rubbed off on their fans. The Romanov day’s, their charity thieving, players like Skacel and Lafferty, their belief that they were now on another level to us and Celtic, not us, were now their main rivals, makes their current situation all the better. Yes they’ve got a new stand, but the shout from the rooftops approach to building it is the reason why so many Hibs fans have had a right good chuckle at their several balls ups.

I now officially hate them and love every moment of their pain. BUT, They will never distract me from watching and discussing Hibs. Unlike them, my own club is my priority [emoji108]

Small and not enough toilets
Massive Queue to go to men’s toilets - not to mention women’s
1 door to get in and out of toilets
Not much leg room at seats
Press getting prime seats
Restricted views for disabled (this is actually an issue in other stands too - especially if people stand in lower sections - I saw this last season at the Scottish cup game - you would think they could have a better design in the future proof stand ??!)
Turnstiles slow to gain entry
Not much lighting on plaza after the game

Just a few comments so far I’ve read / heard from Leveins army.

Also a picture going around of someone’s seat with a glass panel and barrier right in front of the Seat.

Definitely worth £14 million and rising.

Deary me, that is shockingly bad viewing, not just the restricted view, but the rest of that dump they call a "stadium".

On a slightly more serious note, chances are that there will be several other seats in similar positions with similar restricted views, good to know that it won't just be the police box blocking folks view but the barriers fitted with see-through panels to aid viewing, actually restrict the view instead

This is one of those cases where this emoticon just fits perfectly.

Whilst I have chuckled at the size of the Hertz attendance today, I really hope this doesn't end up in a continual week-by-week "our attendance was bigger than your attendance" type thread.

The reality is that our crowds are on the up on the back of a Scottish Cup win, winning the championship last season, the good start to this season and a relatively long unbeaten run against the Hertz. Our average attendances are at a level not seen for many many years. However, we could easily see a dip in attendances if performances start to dip, like yesterday.

Equally, the Hertz support has been on a continued downward cycle ever since we came back from 2-0 down in the Scottish Cup game at Tiny. However, with a better manager and better players, they could easily see an upturn in their fortunes, with the resultant increase in attendances - maybe not this season, or even the next, but it will happen sometime, hopefully not for a very long time.

That said, I do feel that the Hertz fans are going to see a fair share of poor results and displays at Tiny this season. Long may that continue.

The only problem I can see from today was the steepness of the stand and lack of railings to grab when descending down the aisles.

Quite a few elderly fans were struggling at half time and at the end.

If neither an occupation certificate nor a safety inspection consider this to be an issue, what's the point of them? :dunno:

[JimboHibs]

So, let's see. We get beat yesterday, Hearts finally get to return to Tynecastle in front of a sold out new main stand, playing the team sitting around the bottom of the table. Hammer them in front of their new stand and claw back 3 points against us.

And they **** that up.

And they STILL had less of a crowd than we did against St Johnstone yesterday :hilarious

What the **** has a size of a crowd got to do with it ? Would you rather we had a bigger crowd but they pick up 1 point more than us .... usual reeking of utter desperation like post.

However, with a better manager and better players, they could easily see an upturn in their fortunes, with the resultant increase in attendances - maybe not this season, or even the next, but it will happen sometime, hopefully not for a very long time.

That said, I do feel that the Hertz fans are going to see a fair share of poor results and displays at Tiny this season. Long may that continue.


Irrespective of the stand shenanigans at Tynecastle, I find it remarkable that the 2 Edinburgh teams get 34,000 between them at ER and Tynie, without the OF being involved.

That cant be true, football in Scotland is dying without a strong Rangers!

[Kaiser1962]

The reality is that our crowds are on the up on the back of a Scottish Cup win, winning the championship last season, the good start to this season and a relatively long unbeaten run against the Hertz. Our average attendances are at a level not seen for many many years. However, we could easily see a dip in attendances if performances start to dip, like yesterday.

That'll be interesting if it escalates. We know CL has a bit of an ego and he may become tempted to explain to the baying hordes that the reason they never/hardly ever beat hobos any more is nothing to do with his management and everything to do with the fact that the yams don't any longer have anyone else's money to spend on beating us. Then flak turns to QA. Many pleasures ahead for hobos!

"Our seats were fine, same section as before but slightly higher up due to increased angle of stand v old enclosure. Numbers were falling off seats as the installation team hadn't taken off sticky covering. Would rather have been standing leaning against my pillar than sitting in my new seat though".

Oh! There are a lot better comments over there than that . It seems that they have a load of restricted view seats and NOT just the police control room side. The opposite side can’t see the goal due to the floodlight pillars and the “glass” panel hand rails cover the view from some seats, with loads of them already whinging to their ticket office to move.

20,099. Although the capacity could be stretched to 20,422, creating 323 'extra seats' by lining up the cast iron dressing room bath tubs around the edge of the pitch and allowing grubby urchins to watch the games from there. Surely a price worth paying to stay the 'big team'

Small things like this that make it totally amateurish, there is no specific entrance/exit for the directors box so the folk need to just use the normal exit/entrance which will make for interesting viewing once they really are struggling and The Budgie is getting abuse.

That new stand is crap. Lots of restricted views even from the other end to the police box. You can't see both goals from the last block of seats at both ends.

I agree as they have not given its less than Easter road. I'd guess around 19,000.

Is it not possible to do a dot count on the new stand? The existing three stands have presumable already been counted and posted.

Apart from Hibs (and Celtic/Sevco?) there will always be seats lost to segregation. I will be surprised if it gets as high as 19,000. I suspect the sub-17,000 figure for Partick Thistle will constitute the maximum for all bar the visits of Hibs, Aberdeen, and Rantic.

Horses and stable doors perhaps.

Quite right. And to the Jambos who keep using the example of the weather calling a game off, a natural occurrence isn’t in any way comparable to potentially not managing to have a stadium capable of hosting a game of football. As a football team it’s kind of a minimum requirement.

[Sir David Gray]

Not according to Scott Wilson though.

If you disregard the extra 400 odd seats that Easter Road has then Tynecastle is a bigger stadium.

The first four numbers are a fitting tribute to their team's triumphant history.

First five surely? Year and number of medals won. 😀

I had a quick look at the thread about size. Worth reading for a laugh at Kiwimug's usual nonsense.

[jacomo]

It's fine. They are not at all bothered about being the Big Team anymore.

I think we should applaud this new era of Jambo realism.

(Albeit they still think they will be able to host Scotland games at Tiny park - the realism only goes so far).

I'm sure Annie's pals will throw some youth Internationals in their direction... When they (eventually) get a full Safety Certificate. They do have a UEFA compliant stand after all.

[lord bunberry]

I believe the punters near the centre of the stand are stopped from leaving their seats by stewards at the end until Budge and the other directors have left and made their way down the stairs.

One of them confirmed this to be true. He said some of the cardigan wearers were pretty annoyed about it.

Only if they are friendlies. They're not compliant for competitive games.

Is it not possible to do a dot count on the new stand? The existing three stands have presumable already been counted and posted.

Apart from Hibs (and Celtic/Sevco?) there will always be seats lost to segregation. I will be surprised if it gets as high as 19,000. I suspect the sub-17,000 figure for Partick Thistle will constitute the maximum for all bar the visits of Hibs, Aberdeen, and Rantic.

We seem to have been discussing this for months. The capacity is about 19,800 BUT about 500 of those seats are not up for sale - directors, media, players etc. So the yams will probably get about 19,300 when they manage a sell out against us and rantic. With segregation in place against the rest it's unlikely they can ever get over 19k.
They needed a new stand and have built a fairly decent one but the cost seems crazy for the very modest increase in capacity.

[Deansy]

And I bet not one of them had the spine to say anything about it !

[Hibrandenburg]

That new stand is crap. Lots of restricted views even from the other end to the police box. You can't see both goals from the last block of seats at both ends.

I agree as they have not given its less than Easter road. I'd guess around 19,000.

Unfair criticism of that fine upstanding establishment club. I think this initiative is a fantastic one, as far as I know Hearts are the first club in Scotland to provide separate seating areas for the blind.

I'll happily put football rivalry aside for a moment and say I hope he's OK.

If anybody hears anything, could they please post it on here.

[Barnton Hibs]

Think I’ll order a hard hat for our visit on 27th. Just in case

Anyone a wee bit worried that with Hearts back at the PBS and with 5 homes on the bounce they are going to come racing up the league table? .....naw me neither :greengrin

[tynehibs]

I see there top of the league ! The fair play one that is , surprise surprise the dirtiest team in the league Again . Do they pay the annual fine by DD ?

[Golden Bear]

There we go then. How predictable, the hawrts are being praised rather than hounded.

Not going all reverse size queen on those freaks, but that ground will struggle to get anywhere near 19,000 capacity. It's a dinky toy. "Who the hell do you expect to satisfy with a stadium that size, young man?"

[Famous Fiver]

Interesting.

Biscuits Preston was talking about it being used for semi finals.

Will they allow us to use it?

That's a shocker of a report. But for the correct English, it could have been written by QA herself.

She can't possibly think that outfit (desinger-made for the big day?!) looks good? Deeply unpleasant.

She'll also be far from happy with Alan Pattullo's underwhelming impressions of the grand opening:

Incidentally, when does the 'temporary' safety certificate expire? Has that already been answered?

Of course, we have before.

The two St Johnstone Semis where special. One for how you mentioned and I fully agree and the other the relief when we won in Extra time.

Why do you call it a tin can? Have you been reading the thread?

It must be a homage to the carpets from Gorgie dive bars in the 1960s.

[G B Young]

Maybe an off-cut from this hotel carpet? Or maybe from the carpeting planned for the hospitality areas in the new stand?

If any team in Britain ****ed up a stand as much as they have you would be seeing a thread on this forum.

Lucky for us it was our rivals.
