Hearts' New Stand Thread (Merged)

[ian cruise]

Their schedules on track so it's all hearsay. Of course they would of had contingency plans with the SRU but that's not to say they will require it. There's been nothing from their heirarchy to say it won't be ready. They need the basics - turnstiles, seats and bogs.

Anyone else sense a Dnipro bet on the way?

[Craig_HFC]

I know someone who's working on it at the moment and he says that it's 'months away' from being finished. Miles behind schedule.

Does he work beside Morganleith's pal.

Maybe it is Morganleith's pal !!

[greenginger]

It's behind ok.

They have no seats for example.

Apart from your wee list there is also the small issue of a safety certificate being issued.

All to be done by four weeks on Saturday.


Safety certificate ? Are they gonna bother with one of them.

If so , they'd better see about getting a Building Warrant for the work first.

It really is a cluster-f of epic proportions.

Really big teams don't need Safety Certificates.

I've got no idea but I'm sure there is more than 2 people working on it.

Not that you'd be able to tell with the lack of progress, mind you.

Dont they have to play half a season at Murrayfield if they play games there so that everyone plays them at the same stadium?

[JeMeSouviens]

What, a sweep on the day Morganleith's name turns pink? :wink:

A few people have asked that (including me) and nobody seems to know.


It might still be the rule, the rule might have changed, or the SPFL clubs might have exempted Hearts by prior agreement.. who knows.

Seems they have permission to play 2 games at the stadium - I can't see them playing others.

Scotland Rugby have games on 11th, 18th and 25th November for example.

They will either have the new bus shelter open for the Aberdeen game on 9th Sept or they will play elsewhere. The 2nd home game is 23rd Sept v Patrick then 21st October v St Johnstone.

Surely they couldn't make money out of a trip to Murrayfield - maybe that was the plan all along :rolleyes:

I'm sure Budge mentioned the SPFL being very accommodating in agreeing alternative arrangements. She didn't mention specifics but it doesn't take a leap to imagine them breaking their own rules to assist the Poppy Thieves.

[Firestarter]

It's an utter disgrace they always seem to get away with **** like this. Filing for admin when the season finished springs to mind. Why didn't they start building mid-season like any normal club? Now they are getting games changed and maybe going to a rugby ground because their work is behind schedule for their brand spanking new shan stand with skyline views of Tynie High roof. It really annoys me at times.

[Brightside]

I couldnt care less now tbh. They are just about to appoint Jon Daly as First Team Coach. They have to pay of Cathro (200k plus). and are being kept afloat by some fickle fans. They can play in public parks for all i care.

[The_Todd]

I hope they do get permission to move to Murrayfield. It'll cost them a fortune.

[Michael]

I can't recall any other club making such a fuss about building a new stand? They've made it so expensive that they've put themselves in a position that they can't afford to play with only 3 stands open. I think they should be made to play at Tynecastle regardless.

[Aldo]

O dear here we go again!

The hierarchy as you put it don't want to upset the roasters hence the silence.

Yams I know saw very little change from the East Fife game.

It won't be ready simple. They need loads of things to be completed with the most important things being safety and fire certificates.

Mind you it is the Yams and when the council is involved them seemed to pretty much do what they want.

So the stand will not be finished and the majority of Yams I know are in agreement.

So in your wisdom of all things Yam. What's your take on the restricted views there will be in the new mega stand??

[Pete]

So if some teams are getting to play Hearts at a neutral venue instead of Tynecastle, shouldn't we all be getting that privilege?

Not sure that true... when the league came out it was stated that Hearts would get to play two of there home games as away games but then added if they had to play more they would have to play at a neutral venue, "Murrayfield or Livingstone. if they had to play more 4 game away from there home venue then they were compelled to play 11 games in all so there was no advantage to any of the teams... not sure if that means playing 2 games away and two at a neutral venue or 4 games at a neutral venue...

All speculative anyway as there is seemingly no delay at all and they will be back with 4 stands including the new Chippery on time for the Aberdeen fixture.

[Billy Whizz]

Aberdeen, Partick and St Johnstone over other teams if their matches are played at Murrayfield, verses teams who will have to go to the completed Tynecastle. An empty Murrayfield is a neutral venue, and hardly a place where the 3 teams will in a hostile environment
These 3 could be our rivals for Top 6, and they could have an advantage
I'm hoping LD is onto this

Excuse the pun but if they are allowed to play their home games at two different venues then it is not a level playing field, surely.

Just more evidence that Scottish football is not run properly. The league must surely oversee a competition where all clubs are treated the same.

Possibly the first of several delays?

I can't imagine the residents around Murrayfield will be too chuffed at the thought of The Rangers fans coming to town.

Also don't know the dates of the autumn internationals, but could there be a problem if the Hertz games need to be moved for TV?

Shambles.

I suspect this will only be the first 'delay'. They'll be lucky if it's ready by Christmas because if they've been hampered by the weather during the summer months it's only going to get worse as we hit autumn and winter.

Not to mention whether they can still afford to finish it given the managerial mess. Watch for Jamie Walker being sold before the end of the transfer window.

Maybe there was method in Cathro's madness after all, ensuring they had no home cup games to arrange until 2018...

[Onceinawhile]

It's a nonsense that they are getting to flip yet another fixture and that 3 teams are getting to play at a neutral venue.

Hibs.net greenginger right on the money. Will their be a "special atmosphere" at a three quarters empty stadium? Budge will let as many Huns buy tickets as she can to cover her losses.

[Sprouleflyer]

If Hearts have a poor start to their league campaign not many "home' fans will turn up a Murrayfield. Wonder how many tickets they will offer the huns to try and get some cash back into their pockets, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000?

"Unfortunately, however, there are some things we cannot control and as such, despite the mammoth effort that has gone into the construction project up until now, we are not going to make our targeted “open for business” date of 9th September 2017.

The wettest June/July in years, coupled with the late delivery of seating from the Far East, due to shipping issues, means we will have to invoke our contingency plan and play our first few home fixtures at BT Murrayfield."



So in other words it's the "freak weather" and the Chinese who are to blame.

Partick agreed to flip their tie to Firhill from Tynie.

[BenjiOscar]

Surely they have to restrict the number of tickets they can sell for Murrayfield. Would be a nonsense if they were able to use the full capacity of Murrayfield for the Sevco game with the potential for them selling loads of extra tickets.

Maybe this was the plan though, to rake in more cash to pay for the chip stalls knowing full well their build schedule wouldn't be met from the outset and then blaming it on the weather. I'd put nothing past those charity robbing poppy thieves.

Work is continuing at "quite a pace" 🤔

[BSEJVT]

This early in proceedings its going to be 2 months late

Let thank sink in, 2 whole months and that's for a shambolic facility with most of the internal fit outs still to do before it will begin to raise any new income for them

I hope Murrayfield is costing them plenty

Next thing will be open all hours payments for the builders on site to try and meet the end of October deadline as if they miss that it will be begging bowl time for ER

That would cost them even more as their brain dead support would still take great delight in trashing it

They are desperate and before you know it Jamie Walker will be getting punted for a bargain basement price as they will need to accept anything.

His being forced out the squad is a pre-cursor to that and makes that sale far easier to explain

They don't have anyone else worth buying

Their chickens are coming home to roost big time.

I think they'll get a smart stand once it's complete but it's the fact that every other club in the league are affected. How is this allowed to happen?

Make them play in front of 3 stands and revert back to a normal fixture list. Simple.

I'm sure their contingincy allowed for 3 games only to be played at Murrayfield, when they would then have to make a further request to the SPFL for additional games to be played away from tiny Tynie if it wasn't ready. It feels like they've manipulated the fixtures by getting Partick to flip their fixture, so as to allow the huns to be one of the "contracted" games at Murrayfield, therefore giving them the potential to make it a money spinning fixture. Have Aberdeen, St J, and the Huns been offered the chance to flip the fixture? Have Partick been given a financial incentive to flip their fixture if they maybe said no? Have the Huns played hardball and agreed not to flip the fixture, conditional on Jamie Walker being a Hun by the end of the transfer window. Too many ifs and buts for my liking, when the governing body should have ensured from the outset when the fixture list should have been clear and transparent when first published. Again it looks like the governance of our game is slap dash and made up as we go along.

Patrick have agreed to swap there game so it will be another away game for them. if the play 4 games at Murrayfeild then they will have to play another 7 games there... so it will mean they might play at tynie with the new stand closed to stop having to play 7 more games at Murrayfield...

Everyone or things fault that it has not gone to plan yet if they had just knocked the stand. Down in Feb it would have been ready by now.

Their squad weaker than last season, early form this season is no better than the end of last. No manager at present, little time left for a new manager (if appointed) to recruit in this window.

It's worth a daft 10er for interest sake alone.


Hamilton and Kilmarnock.

[Bostonhibby]

Didn't they have any contingencies in their planning?

Self answering question?:greengrin

They don't seem to have done many of the things that are required at the outset and it looks like they have been caught out here because they didn't feel the need to contingency plan because they are the "famous" etc............. or they did contingency plan and they ****ed it up because they are the "famous"...........

Arrogance isn't always enough.

Hey, Morganleith...Where are you?

[Thecat23]

Gullible is the word I would use along with totally stupid. Head in the sand brigade. Budge and co have known exactly what they were doing yet didn't have the baws to stand up and admit it was being delayed!

Everyone or things fault that it has not gone to plan yet if they had just knocked the stand. Down in Feb it would have been ready by now.

I wonder when they will tell those in the section of stand by the Police Control Room that they will not see the goal?

Apparently the project was delayed by all those Easter Road seagulls Hibs sent over that were milling about in the background whilst the BT guys were waiting for Cathro to appear after the Dunfermline shambles. Guano is highly corrosive but doesn't show on maroon shirts. Take weeks to get rid of them.

Yet again they rip the pee out of their own fans, selling them season tickets for a stand everyone knew would only be open for half a season.

Only big clubs get outnumbered at home by other clubs. Can see both the Sheep and Sevco outnumbering them unless they limit tickets.

[Hermit Crab]

Is it really a big deal to us? Doesn't affect us in any way, in fact it hinders them more than anybody. They are the ones with the extra bills to pay for with renting the place, plus their own new stand over is budget.

This just can't be true - has to be fake news!
Can't remember who the poster was but s/he was adamant the stand was miles behind schedule. Some had a wee go at the poster but it appears they were spot on. Is this a ploy so they can sell more tickets against the better-supported teams and generate more funds?😁

Some pretty funny chat over yonder, speculating on just how big a yam support they'll be able to accommodate at the Murrayfield games. They seem to be overlooking that they will have had to actually play games this season before those matches. I'm sure they'll be swarming to Murrayfield in their tens of thousands when they've only clocked up about eight points so far.

That's actually a very good point. They have made an absolute James Hunt of this project and they should not be allowed to make any additional revenue out of it. They have once again lied to their fannies to get more desperately needed cash in by selling more tickets than they actually have seats for. Every other club has had to play in reduced capacity stadiums or rent other stadiums like celtic and ICT for a season or large parts of a season. They are a total **** up of a club and still the media dont take them to task for it. Thank god that I was brought up to be a Hibby

[Since90+2]

If Sevco fans get wind of the fact Hearts want them to buy 25k odd tickets and fund part of their new stand they will probably do the opposite and boycott it.

[Col2]

Ok ladies and gentleman. This was the news I got today from a very good source at Tynie. I dont usually get any good info but this is gem.

Yams are actively looking at moving Aberdeen game as a minimum and have told the sheep. They are looking at feasibility of using Murrayfield for this and 1-2 other games as stand is way behind schedule. Part of this is contingency but it won't be ready for sheep game. They have advised SPFL.

Barry Anderson will have an exclusive in this (all is Barry style) in the next week or so.

[macca70]

Stating the obvious but gate receipts at Tynie is all money going into Hearts, whereas I'm guessing the gate receipts at Murrayfield will contribute towards their Rental costs.

I hope they have kept aside some season ticket money as I would guess the vast majority of attendance is season tickets, if they have 14k season ticket holders.

[darwenhibby]

Easier for 400 000 fans to get tickets
Win win situation for them I think

[G B Young]

Play offs

Are those not played over the space of a few days? In which case Hearts certainly won't go the whole of November without a home fixture. And even if Scotland were involved in the play-offs (which they won't be), would it necessarily mean a full shutdown of the Premiership fixture card?

Anyway, aside from that, what seems wrong to me is that Ann Budge is putting a gloss on this by saying Hearts will be able to accommodate 'even more' of their fans by decamping to Murrayfield. While it's hard to imagine Hearts home support will increase (and will hopefully plummet if they get off to a dire start to the season), it seems she's opening up the possibility of just letting as many Rangers fans as possible into the stadium in order to offset the cost of hiring the national rugby stadium. Should this actually be allowed? ie if your home ground holds less than 20k, should you be able to make additional monies off the back of a move to a bigger stadium you don't own?

[Crazyhorse]

I don't think he's sticking up for them just pointing out that the clubs have allowed them to do what they want.

[The_Exile]

The yams are going to have 7 home games in a row at the PBS then St Johnstone away then us on 27th December.

Hopefully their pitch is better than last years as was horrendous when we played them at the piggery and with the bad weather and lots of games it could be even worse.

Was just thinking that. Will the pitch stand up to winter weather and multiple games in quick succession? Doubt it. Although would suit their style of play!

[Sioux]

A post from the muppet crew are predicting 30,000 against Dons & huns, whilst another suggests 20-25,000!

WTF planet are they on?

To make it worse;

"I cant see Budge passing up the chance of knocking back extra revenue going into the coffers unless of course she thinks we can get sell 58k our self's with season ticket holders included"

And;

"Give them 20,000 tickets, 2,000 for segregation, 45,000 for us."

Doesnt mean that what has been agreed is acceptable. Personally I think its a complete joke.

[Mantis Toboggan]

It was a nightmare when Celtic played a European match at Murrayfield. Jakies everywhere.
I remember meeting loads of them who were patronising as **** when I said I was a hibs fan so I always replied by asking them where they were from, looking surprised and then asking them what was wrong with their local team.

The actual weegies are mainly alright in my experience.

agree, the worst of the worst tend to be from outside Glasgow. As we are about to find out when the whole of Larkhall descends on The Roseburn.

the chance to watch footy games in a nice spacious 67k stadium, a chance to boast that you watched your footy team play at the biggest sports stadium in scotland.....i don't think he will be far wrong with those predictions..imo :dunno:

You don't think a prediction of 30,000 for Hearts against Aberdeen will be far wrong? :confused:

[The_Sauz]

Got to laugh at this from the BBC article
" Hearts have played six European ties at Murrayfield going back to 2004, and they also hosted a friendly match against Barcelona back in the summer of 2007 watched by over 57,000 fans." :faf:
When in fact it was Barcelona who hosted the game as part of their training camp which was held in St Andrews!

[Springbank]

If hearts are bottom of the league in October, and the weather is bad on the day, expect fewer than 10k season ticket holders to pitch up for St Johnstone and maybe 850 saints fans for the curiosity factor of a game at murrayfield.

Won't sell many chips that day

[blackpoolhibs]

Why can't everything now revert to normal, and they play their games home and away now they've admitted they need to play at Murrayfield? :confused:

[Aldo]

No chance they will be allowed to have 20k plus Huns at Murrayfield.

They will be permitted to use the lower tier only.

It's the Hertz we are talking about! The word "Normal" has not yet been invented over at the Gorgie :greengrin

Why not? It's manageable at Hampden so why can't they do it Murrayfield? If fans want to go to a game and there's seat available it would be nonsense not to allow them to attend.

Segregation issues and I'm sure they will have to consult the Police as the dynamics of 3,500 or so compared to 20,000 is vast!

Changes everything in That respect.

I'm sure the police will be able to segregate the crowd. If Hibs were to play them there would anyone on here claim we should only get 3500 tickets?

Murrayfield is not really designed for segregation. They will need a lot of stewards to do it.

For major rugby internationals with 67,000 crowd to be managed there are a whole raft of measures put in place.

Road closures before and after games, extra trams, huge police and steward presence, whole stadium to clean afterwards, etc.

All this costs, £££'s and would have to be arranged well in advance of the game and paid for by Mrs. Budge whether the grunts turn up or not.

[lucky]

25000 Hearts & 20000 Rangers fans in a 67000 stadium should be easily segregated. There are plenty of options to send fans there separate ways after the game. It will cost money but with a decent increase in the attendance it will be easily covered. Clubs don't pay for policing outside the ground or additional public transport

[tamig]

I'm not really sure why anyone would think there would be a demand from 20k huns to come to Edinburgh for a normal league game tbh.

2 months' delay because of rain and the Chinese, at least she's honest.

Perhaps take in a few shows from our International Festival at the same time. An opera, a jazz quartet, or a book reading perhaps ?

Hermit Crab was stating a fact not an opinion.

[ian cruise]

Many if us will but that do sent change the fact it's already been agreed. Hermit was in no way sticking up for Hearts, he was stating fact. Clubs already told Hearts thus was acceptable so what fans think now is unfortunately irrelevant.

[HibbyDave]

Statement released by them to say they are 2 months delayed on superstand..... playing at least three matches at Murrayfield. Cue meltdown on JKB over how this could have happened, how many tickets will the hubs get etc etc

Already another thread on this. They're not upset at all, they're celebrating all the extra tickets they'll get and how many more they can sell to Rangers to add to their coffers.

Probably fans of other clubs will think the same.

You can't blame the yams for trying and getting away with it again. It is however a distraction for their fans from how much of a shambles the stand has become.

There you go ya :trumpet:

From KB this evening
We've been given special dispensation by the SPFL/other clubs to that rule (thankfully!)



Tonight at the FoH meeting Ann stated that it has been agreed over a year ago that if necessary some games will be played at Murrayfield and when the stand is ready it will be back at Tynecastle. All agreed by the other clubs and the SPFL in advance.
