[SquashedFrogg]

That'll be an end to their free flowing football

[Eyrie]

They only use the grass for standing on so it won't affect their style of play.

[wookie70]

Its the central third so no issue to Hearts as the ball never lands there

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

All the huge teams play on stubble fields.

[Franck Stanton]

My thoughts exactly.

Seems a bit of an own goal - spend a million on a new hybrid pitch then do this to it.

[The 90+2]

Maroon blood doesn’t show on the cow patch.

Did Budge get a standing ovation for the use of her stadium free of charge?

[Stantons Angel]

If this is what is called culture at tynecastle then its going to cost them.

I they did this for nothing then they should have looked into getting the proper protection to the pitch,

But maybe this is the way they like to play really, it suits their route one stuff to the T and wipes out the midfield all to gether.

If they did take payment for it then again it will not be worth what they are having to put out on it if they are to correct their damage to it.

Either way its nothing to do with us so lets not worry about them....

[Turnbullsmate]

See !! That's where having 400,000 aficionados of the finer things in life gets you . S**mbos just love Bach, Bartok, Pachelbel so it's a worthwhile sacrifice. A wee bit turf for some classical ennui. Did they see the fireworks ? given the view of the castle from their privileged positions, i wonder.

Both Leeann and Ron have been in touch to ask Budge’s advice about preparing a pitch for the new season. They are in awe, apparently.

This photo was taken on Saturday when all the boards had just been cleared away. It's nowhere near as bad now. Still doesn't look great though :greengrin

It's not just ready for Scottish Premiership level football, but 'elite' football according to the ever-pompous yams:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49255080

There's also mention at the end of a new role of 'loans manager' at the PBS for Gary Naysmith. The fact it mentions that Hearts only have ONE player on loan makes this sound like a rather cushy number! Surely this can't be a full-time position?!

I think someone addressed earlier on the thread that the grass is in much better condition than when the concert finished.

2 days a week apparently.

One day to make his travel arrangements and the other day to make a video of the one player on his phone to show his boss. Money well spent I'd say. Get another two players out on loan and Gary will probably needs a loans assistant to help with the workload.

[WeeRussell]

Exactly - was hardly going to look like lush green grass consistently across the pitch after that :agree:

Then again, it didn't look that beforehand either!

[Cataplana]

If they are self sufficient, why do they need a loan, far less a dedicated loan manager? DD situation not as good as they are making out.

Who will he go to first? It'll have to be somebody like Wonga as their credit score is so low.

[gillythehibby]

Thats the best that pitch has looked for years. Will suit them down to the ground. 😁

Both Bartok and Bach loved their high Bs.

Don't know about Pachelbel though. I think he was a bit of a D man.

Well if he’s the Loan (A)rranger he’ll probably hire Tonto.

[leithsansiro]

Pitch will be fine by the weekend. Grass is deceptive. It can look rubbish one day and all it needs is a bit of water and a bit of sun to repair itself. It’ll be fine, unlike Hearts footballing skills.

I am utterly bewildered by the decision to allow the Festival concert to take place with an audience sitting on the pitch. They spent around £1 million to create that pitch. Surely any sensible organisation would not take any risks with an asset of that value? Oh, wait ...

I've said it before but left to their own devices they are the most cack-handed club in the country. Roll on fan-ownership and watching their fans trying to run them.

To be fair, even though their fans are all total fuds, do you think even they could do a worse job running the club than Vlad or a worse job building a stand like Queen Ann.
Actually when I see them still praise Vlad and give QA cash all the time maybe they can. Bring it on, Muppets!

At least it will give the Sportscene pundits something to talk about as there won't be anything happening on the pitch.

Honestly are they trying to drive people away. Should be a fiver and kids go free. No way am I taking mine at that price what with the cost of the pies and juices on top. I have been a ST holder for 3 millenia and this is hiw they treat me. Board are a disgrace. Fans Reps should be doing sonething about this outrage... oops wrong thread

ive Just put the hearts game on tv and the pitch is in a right state, almost half the pitch looks completely bare.

The whole pitch was covered for the concert, so why does half the pitch... and the opposite goalmouth... look brand new compared to the tattie field bit? Have they thrown more money at the pitch?

Was the stage not at the halfway line? Wouldn’t have been anyone behind that so one half would be gubbed and the other wouldn’t?

[Greenfly]

All they need to make the grass grow back is put a pile of sh*te on it ... oh, sorry - forgot that's what they did at 3 o'clock today.

Always the chance they will recruit badly again though.

Pitch looked awful today but not as bad as Hearts - they were awful. Support is turning on them big time, the lad Washington looks Rowan Vine-esque, their keeper is an absolute bomb scare, and they are weak in the middle of the park. Those that were worried about their new Cardiff signing - fear not - all he did was sit and spray passes side to side and looked average at best. Halkett is a decent player, their full back White was their MotM........despite being poor second half. County could have scored 4 today with more composure. Best thing today was a one man 'Levein Out' protest :faf:

For the derby we must target Berra and play two up top. They are all over the place at the back and Berra looks like he is playing on ice. They've moved Clare central and he's like a little boy lost. Fontaine was coasting today, played well - wee mention for Laidlaw too, looked very assured and pulled off a couple of impressive saves. Quick off his line too. Was delighted for him :aok:

So going for 4 but get 5. On the Radio today Whelan is still a possibility with another one after that.

Hearts fans reckon a GK on loan next week from Man Utd and that's after giving Doyle a contract extension.

Not so sure about that - the concert was free but they would have been paid a fee. One thing I noticed today though, the stadium (Main Stand) is still very much under construction and above the hospitality it looks like a builders yard :greengrin No wonder Budge is staying on, the place is a mess. Capped off by the fact they were moaning about a food stall that was set up outside Tynecastle school today (all legitimate, no money to them). Not a good day for the Jambos :greengrin

They did not receive any fee.

This event was not happening until the good lady Doctor zBudge offered the TinyCastle free of charge with Anerdeen Standard picking up all orher costs in relation to its staging in one gigantic ego trip that spectacularly back fired and which Potter admitted to live on Sportsound today.

Fair enough mate, knowing Hearts as I do they don't do anything for nothing - but I'll happily stand corrected. In fact, more than happy for them to host many more (free) events as the pitch looked like World of Football today :aok:

If you had 8000 people chucking money at you unquestioningly, wouldn't you be tempted to go and spend it willy nilly? It's hard not to p*ss it up the wall when you know it'll keep getting replenished. Fair play to the Hearts fan though for keeping the faith.

Anyone know how much they've put in compared to how much Budge has put in?

Turkish Doner Inn, Brougham Place, ask for Hagar...........he never disappoints :greengrin:aok: great place to grow up and earn your buttons in life :aok:

Earned mine in the Canongate then mainline Easter Road from the age of six! Probably in my late 20s before I seen a Kebab shop like. Mind you, this was all in black and white.

There is confusion on fudback whether they got £0, £100k, £200k or £250k for the concert. What did the muppets get?

Best (witnessed) bar fight was in the White Horse :greengrin no amount of punches thrown or tables upturned managed to dislodge the KP nut stand or the peg letter board drink 'menu'. The only pub in Edinburgh where if you asked for a toastie they thought you were 'bohemian' :greengrin Canongate has lost it's soul (sadly).

Brought up above it in early life. No 268. It was run by a fellah called Doonan. Hijacked the thread but I used to be able to see the Queen ride past from my seat in the sink.

The perfect hijack - bringing a tear to my eye Iggy :aok: did you go to the primary school - lovely building :agree: love the Canongate. Whiteford House - best fat laden fry up in Edinburgh back in the day :aok:

The concert was last Friday, wonder why they waited until the Monday to dismantle everything.

Primaried at St Ann’s in the Cowgate (now a Community library I think) next door to our glorious birthplace and place of worship then we moved up to St Pats on Drummond St.
Now flats. Best days of my puff.

Loved Whitefoord House and the Jamie Balfour railings which my older cousin had me terrified of as he apparently came to life at night. Selby Wrights where the other crowd of “non papes” hung out, Croan Bees fishmongers, Chessels Court for a side up, St Mary’s St Halls first communion and cubs, Caseys sweetie shop.......oh man.

Hearts try anything to gain advantage with their pitch. Even though it's hybrid, Levein instructed it not to be cut when they played Celtic last season in their home opener. Much to the chagrin of Rodgers. Levein is anti-football and does anything to prevent the game being played the way it should be - and the SFA gave this dud a 5 year contract :grr: Hearts fans moan about the style of football, they only need to look at Levein and his ploys to prevent it being played the right way. He's a dinosaur manager. The Hibs in me says 'stay', the football purist in me says people like him hamper the game here and it's why we are so poor in European terms. Footballers can't play properly using his edict. The bonus for us is that youth players considering Hearts or Hibs will choose Hibs (ultimately). We are developing youth the way it should be :agree:

No but I hope Ron in his discovery sessions has been observing how not to go about things.

Kiwidog is one of the biggest losers on Kickback. I am sure he was one of them that admitted he had a wee cry on 21st May 2016 such was and is his obsession with us 😂😂😂

Ann Budge’s priority over the close season has been:-

1. Edinburgh Festival launch
2. Moving directors exit in main stand away from mob
3. Putting in escalators and changing rooms in the new stand.

I said a week or so ago that the Edinburgh Festival event was 100% ego trip by Budge. It’s her club and she decides everything on her terms. That won’t change for a long time while she has FOH in her back pocket.

I am Glad it has come out today to confirm Hearts didn’t make a penny from the event. In fact they lost money and now have remediation damage to the pitch. For Ann ensuring the Ballet and the Opera were accommodated was far more important than 3 points today.

Looks like Budge should’ve asked Leeann for some advice.

She did and Leeann said "Yes I think you should use the pitch for the concert and by the way, don't sack Levein".

Flip side - as a business woman (that didn’t stop the seating fiasco and fiscal discipline on the stand - unlike her to those that worked with her atNewell & Budge & Sopra) ...

Who was there? What investment could be attracted off the back of this ?
The performance was not the end game I suspect.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Desperately trying hard to be the darlings of the Edinburgh festival and make as usual a pigs ear of it.

The clown factory that just keeps giving.

Or who was there that she can build relationships with? Already thinking about what she does after she hands her shares over. Even if she does stay as chairperson she'll still have more time on her hands.

If she stays on, there will be a large element who want her out because of her unwillingness to get rid of Levein. They will become very vocal once they have fan ownership, particularly if Levein is still around.

I think they is already unrest and yesterdays attendance showed that.

Some staunch yam associates reckon another 2 or 3 more players will come in with Whelan being one and another striker being looked at.

Once they gel teams will struggle to cope with their depth of squad.

You honestly cannot make this up

Roughly one thousand less than there was at Easter Road last week.

I seem to recall them all predicting 6 or 7-0 wins in the cup v us after they beat Motherwell away, with the Greek 'Ballack', Isma 'the Portuguese Prolifico' Goncalves - oh and Malaury 'bend it like Beckham' Martin...............that worked out well two weeks later in the cup :greengrin:aok:

One thing about Hearts fans is their overwhelming sense of entitlement and their delusions of grandeur in the Scottish game - they'll never change. They can't ever do humility (or realism) bud. They're stuck in 1986.....oh and that worked out well too :greengrin

Very true! They actually struggle to come to terms with this ‘level playing field’ and still think and are, throwing cash at players in an effort to get ahead of us. Potter doesn’t care about anything else. This, imho, is their biggest downfall!

To be fair to them , the centre section of the pitch is very rarely used, so you can understand why they were not too concerned about destroying it .......

Massive bare patches, Hybrid should be present, that's not a proper Hybrid pitch, looks like only the goal area has the synthetic added.
They must be in the running for the Festival Comedy Award again this year.

The hybrid element is really low, about 10%...it really only helps the natural grass bind and root better. It’s not going to do anything to prevent that sort of damage, nor help repair it!

What a mess to make of your pitch right at the start of the season when it should be at its best and prepared for a long hard season of hoof ball...
