Tynecastle Atmosphere

[vercol36]

Can we finally put this myth to bed? From start to finish, the atmosphere - as usual - has been abysmal. The best atmosphere at Tynecastle in the last few years was during the Hibs Aberdeen game. Complete bunch of Rover drivers, and a pit of a stadium

It was red hot, dunno what you’re talking about. El Monumental Gorgie.

[vercol36]

It seems to be something they keep telling themselves and gradually they’ve grown to believe it. “Uh I huv a pal whose a Dundee fan and he says it’s the best stadium in Scotland likesay”.

Whereas, you ask anyone who is real and they’ll say the same thing: library. Take a look at the Pie and Bovril forum - fans of different teams say the same thing. The Tynecastle atmosphere myth is pish

Tbf there's every chance they turned the microphones down. No way could a midweek audience on a broadcast that started pre watershed platform such an intense and intimidating atmosphere.

Those new Werther Originals wrapper really do rustle, the 3 letter of H E A are very, very loud and that round of applause to acknowledge a plucky defeat at FT was something else.

Oh come off it ya spoon burning bitter Hubz fans .... that scarf twirly at the start reminded one of an eastern European fitba hell hole, you could see the Zurich players were crapping themselves. Chuck in 2.5 rousing renditions of the Hearts song and that atmosphere was white hot.

OK it died doon a wee bit in the 2nd half ... but that changed when they saw Ginelli was coming on, you could almost feel the crackle of electricity round the stadium as the crowd were roused to fever pitch at the sight of the number 30 being hoisted aloft.

It’s a tin pot dump. Press area is a joke and the broom cupboard TV studio with all the pea brains trying to lick the windows to get on TV is absolutely embarrassing. Imagine seeing that at a European tie, it’s 3rd rate pish.

[California-Hibs]

I tuned in and genuinely couldn't believe how quiet it was! Turned my TV up and was thinking surely not, its 0-0 and they need a goal, surely they'll burst into song.

I know we ripped out all their Hibs Scottish Cup 100 year etc songs, but surely they still have a few songs left?? It was honestly crickets! An absolute library. Look and listen to the scenes at Easter Road the past two home games then contrast that with what their fans produced for a game to get into the Group Stages. They should be embarrassed by their lack of noise.

All that Europa League Group money they were going to get aswel to go on to the 'next level' 😂.....Nope! Conference League for a few games then just like a Robbie Neilson replay, that'll be that.

That was against St J no? Do you mean League Cup semi final where he ingeniously freed himself from the defender by tripping him up.

I’m not entirely sure, the air on Mars is over 95% carbon dioxide and less than 1% oxygen making it impossible to breathe. Dust storms are common too.

Still got more at atmosphere than the famous Gorgie roar at Tynecastle though.

[Helensburghhibs]

So for 10 minutes last night the atmosphere was electric. Unfortunately for us we missed out because it had to be plugged into the same socket as the TV feed. That's why when Zurich scored they decided to unplug it again and get the picture back

[Scorrie]

I’ve a good mate who is a Hearts fan and recently went to hospitality at Easter Road as part of a group. He was full of praise for the new suites, in his words “makes the Hearts ones look dated and cheap in comparison” - and he’s as staunch a Jambo as they come.

As for the atmosphere, that myth died well over a decade ago. They’ve also about three songs on a loop, they’re the most boring and uncreative supports in Scotland, certainly for the size of the club. In a word, they’re ‘beige’.

Do they have chips?

[hibsbollah]

What we need is a decibel counter at grounds so we can measure the noise. The nfl do it most seasons I think (noisiest fans Seattle and Kansas City, one for decibel reached one for sustained period noise). It might put this ridiculous myth to bed, Tynecastle is actually library, or it would be if the patrons could actually read.

[Since90+2]

Pathetic support.

[johncrobertson@]

Do they have chips?

On their shoulders!

[Helensburghhibs]

Their own fans on twitter are having a go at the atmosphere. Similar issues to what we raise. Safe standing, having family stand behind the goals etc. Wish someone would give the BBC the memo to stop peddling the myth though

[JohnM1875]

Their semi final dispaly summed them up. No creativity, nothing original, just 'Heaats'. Boring boring fans with an over inflated sense of importance.

While Hibs can’t exactly laugh too much at the provision of TV studios at least the temporary structure we pop up gives a half decent area for the punditry and pundits to watch the game. And I’m sure when Ron gets around to sorting that permanently it’s not going to be an embarrassing Budge fudge like the Jambo glass box.

Interesting that the BBC host stated they actually watch the game amongst the fans then come back to the ridiculous box to do the punditry.

As for their corporate offering..the suites in the main stand looked dated before they were even finished so no surprise that your mate had to admit that ER has surpassed them by miles on that front now.

And finally the Tynie atmosphere…well credit where it’s due they have certainly created an enduring myth. The BBC couldn’t stop talking about it last night although it did appear that without the away end it would all have been rather quiet for long periods.

Just deluded and complete nonsense. They lost a load of seats when they added the TV studio also.

Least say 18,000 home fans if it’s even close to that as segregation etc.

The worst culprits are BBC yam fest radio and Neilson who both just make stuff up to please the fans.

[yonder1875]

It’s purely just a media myth that’s been passed down over the years. Even the Hearts fans know it’s *****. The design of Tynecastle with its steep stand really does lend itself to an atmosphere so maybe that’s why the BBC are clinging on to this.

Hibs fans have always been far more vocal than Hearts with more chants and certainly more big anthems that we can play pre/post match.

Hearts lost both games and deserved to go out.They had a very favorable draw and still fell short. Neilson blamed the ref who called the red card 100% correct. It was all he had to deflect the disappointment. Neilson continues to be an unsuccessful manager and has habit of bottling big games.

[Col2]

Does anyone have a link to kickback thread with the guy who said he stood on his own after a cup final loss outside Tynecastle applauding?

[007]

Few clubs, if any, can be more self aggrandising than Hearts.

Wasn't long ago they were claiming it was a brand new stadium.

Will they still be calling it that when they finish in the bottom 6 and are unceremoniously remembered as a flash-in-the-pan European club?

If you look very very closely you can just about make out the castle views. In the dreams of the punters.

Also looked like the number 22 picked up a lighter off the pitch before also picking up the hat some weirdo had thrown as well. Given it was right next to the ref may well be in his report.
Hit him on the chest as well but he did not make a meal of it.

[DIXIHIBS]

The media have been peddling this myth for years now. Hostile, noisy, intimidating etc...its just not true. Alan Preston predicted bedlam...hanging from the rafters!! Even on JKB they have a thread saying how poor it was last night. As in most stadiums these days, its the away fans that generally create the atmosphere.

[hibbyfraelibby]

"Dated" They were only built a few years ago were they not? :agree:

...to a design on the back of a 1960's fag packet.

[Hibs4185]

From BBC Gossip this morning



Hmmm - surely it's the responsibility of the home club to ensure the safety of players, coaches and officials?

And Hearts have a poor record in that regard (eg Lennon, Zlamal).

No mention of the green lighter thrown at the Zurich player, funny that

Watched the game last night and the most intimidating the atmosphere got was the 10 mins the feed broke and they piped in birds tweeting

[McD]

If a Big Team has

A stadium under 20k (not uefa compliant)
Smallest pitch in SPFL
Rented training facilities

Then they truly are a BIG club!!

Do they still have to apply for dispensation to play European matches there (for the first time in donkeys ;) )

[Ardenttwo]

You could smell their fear, all mouth, loving it.


Dont think it was fear you smelt.

No this was covered in another thread.

They have extended the pitch (probably when the super duper hybrid one, that they destroyed in a couple of months, was laid) to the minimum 100m length to achieve Category 1-2 UEFA rating.

I necked a couple of egg nogs, got tarted up in my brown cords, bobbly maroon tank top and sandals, jumped into my Reliant Robin and headed up to the hearts plaza to celebrate that crushing defeat with Robbie Replay and the rest of the Gorgie Galacticos, but the place was ****ing deserted. Thought a few would have at least lined the streets to await the open top bus

****ing amateurs 🤬

[truehibernian]

"Dated" They were only built a few years ago were they not? :agree:

That was his point, Hibs hospitality already makes Hearts suites dated, in other words they didn’t put any real thought into the creative design or layout. He was spewing ours was top notch. Pretty sure it was Billy Low from Black Ivy that was the consultant for ours. They all look magic I have to say.

Exactly. Theirs reminds me of my old school dinners hall.

From some wit on Facebook: FC Zurich have ignored Edinburgh council's instructions by putting the garbage out :faf:

Watching the pundits at half time with the Gorgie gunts slavering at the windaes reminded me of scenes from the walking dead :greengrin

[danhibees1875]

I didn't watch any of it, but had a few different Hearts fans today talk about the place bouncing and the atmosphere being good.

Perhaps it just didn't come across on the TV? :dunno:

They've been all over social media and JKB saying how good it was.

The fact yer pals thought it was good sums them up - they don't know what a good atmosphere is.

[147lothian]

I’m still pishing myself about the Tynecastle tv studio. A tiny glass box surrounded by yams. Not sure the pundits could even see the pitch!

Me too, is this what £10M state of the art gets you?

I'm told Hearts fans were letting off fireworks in Gyle Park near the Marriott two nights ago a la Madrid and Barca supporters.
Didn't work. Need to get bigger fireworks. Or get a life or something.

Probably a bootcut, too long in length that the back hem is frayed and paired with cheap pointy shoes.

Smart outerwear for the unstylish and unimaginative, so perfect for Hearts Hospitality.

Ironic that Hearts have a trip to Turkey as they’re stuffed and unlikely to be hanging about post Christmas.

Robbie still spinning it following the Conference draw.
" It's great to be going in at that level, and for the boys to experience facing guys who have been at the very top. Its a great draw and brilliant for the fans"
Eh, you have just dropped down a level you clown, what's great about that.

Hey! What's wrong with denims like that? I wore them paired with my cowboy boots late 70s.

[One Day]

The Tiny atmosphere is a myth.

Couldn't believe when the commentator mentioned the famous Gorgie Roar. Also stated that apart from the away end there wasn't a spare seat to be had, as the camera panned empty seats in the main stand

very surprised at how many actually admit their atmosphere is feeble and their fans are boring.

maybe one of those where you can admit the truth about yourself at home but in public you put on a front.

“Finished. Done. Fineto. Atmosphere was dire. Embarrassing. 500 fans out sung us and bounced about all game. “

Brilliant.

But the media keep telling us about this special atmosphere 🤷🏽*♂️

Is that no the fitba club that's the presidents personal plaything?
Basically started a club, built the ground and funded them to the tune of absolute millions (tax payers cash)
They have no fans and are ridiculed/ hated by all fans around the country.
"Welcome to hell" it won't be.

Still the possibility of a photo opportunity with a dangerous authoritarian dictator for Queen Anne, Robbie Replay and the puddle drinking plums.

You can find threads on Sickbag going back a good few years with exactly the same comments. If anything it proves the validity of this thread, it's not just anti Hearts bias when even their own supporters are agreeing that the legendary Tiny atmosphere is actually a hyped up myth that doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

They make a few good points to be fair:

1) Their song book is practically non existent, something we all knew anyway.

2) When fans sing for the whole game as the Zurich fans did it really does just become a boring background drone, a prime example being the The Rangers fans last Saturday, after a while it became a simple matter to just tune them out and I'm sure our players had no problem doing the same.

3) What one of them said about the Gorgie stand is bang on, like us they seem to give over what could be the fulcrum of a cracking atmosphere to a 'family stand' .... I've said this about the Gorgie stand before, if I owned that club the very first thing I would do is convert it to rail seats and make it a kop area for the club's most mental fans .... thankfully the folk who run Hearts seem to be as short sighted in these areas as Hibs are with the FF lower.

I think 2) is a terrible point, personally. When a teams fans sing all game it’s definitely a bonus for that team. Are they trying to argue that sporadic chanting is more effective? To be honest at derbies I only hear them singing after they’ve scored or a loud clapping when they win a corner.
