Hearts the banter years 23/24 season

[Iain G]

Yes, I think that - regardless of who the semi finalists are the initial allocation should be 50 50 and then as it becomes apparent how sales are going they can adjust.

That excuse given to Hearts is exactly what the SPFL gave to Kensell when we played Celtic - that they can't adequately deal with segregation in the ends.

It's frankly ludicrous for the national stadium.

Hampden is a half baked stadium, its like the SFA, all half baked, half arsed, as long as it works fine for the biggot twins they don't give a **** about th rest of us diddy teams. Hampden should be flattened.

I mentioned it on the TV programmes thread, lovely Dens Park footage.

20,000+ seater stadium (so they claim),

[SHODAN]

Up until around half 4 today I would have said this thread was very premature.

Now? Good foresight OP.

[007]

20,000+ seater stadium (so they claim), full away end, 7,000 on the waiting list (supposedly) yet attendance only 18,675. 🤔

The numbers don't stack up. How unlike them.

Can’t believe that guy earned a wage from us for a while. Dark times.

[Joe6-2]

It's simple for them. The North gets split at the halfway line.

Hampden, incredibly, doesn't appear to be able to segregate it further along to accommodate different levels.

Wasn’t built with anyone else in mind!

All jokes aside, one does need to wonder if there’s any accountability at all in this Chairperson’s ongoing vanity project?

The fans are supposed to own the club but they have had someone in charge for a long time who’s spent their way through £16m+ of their own fan donations and, if Anderson chips in his £4m+ this year, over £34m of benefactor donations.

How much does a trophy win cost on the west side of Edinburgh nowadays? Romanov’s project finished up at extra financing of around £35m per tainted trophy but this current incarnation with its £50m of extra cash already spent has zero trophies to show. Will it go to £60m? £100m? £1bn??? Keep going!

With their recent appeal to young fans to join up to the foundation with monthly contributions of their pocket money you gotta wonder if Dr Budge is sitting there on the Tynecastle throne like some evangelical American lay preacher trying to squeeze out every last drop from the gullible followers in the name of the glory of . . . . . . ach I’m so bored of this now I think I’ll give up writing about it when they get to £100m of donations wasted or win a trophy. Whatever comes first.

She still owns 17.4%? In about 12 months time her loans will all be repaid, with interest, and her family will have sucked out many millions in construction costs of the stadium. Her actual total contribution to the club will be £0m once all the loans are repaid. We’d all pee our pants laughing if she still owned 17.4% after all that.

[I'm Spartacus]

I'll say it - a 22 bed hotel, in Edinburgh, with a restaurant kitchen already serving food attached, with access to a bar (doesn't it?). Regardless of it's location or association, that would be a huge success anywhere in the city (if ran by someone with half a business brain). St James' Quarter have 3 hotels for example, so there's absolutely demand.

We should definitely look at this model IMO, less than a mile to the city, the tram link from the airport and a 12 minute walk. (Tynecastle is a 16 minute walk from the nearest tram stop at Murrayfield, and a far ****ter walk). There's also some events booked into Meadowbank, the snooker next week for example.

There would be a substantial capital outlay to build from scratch. Would take a while to payback the capital outlay.

In my lifetime of over 7 decades, I can safely say I've been in scores of hotels all over the world, from zero to 5 stars and every room has had a window. Some overlooking a scruffy alley, others the glittering blue sea of the Caribbean. Windows always.

[Hibs4185]

So 22 rooms at around £150.

£3300 a night x 30 nights = £99,000 a month

@ 80% occupancy = £79,920

Minus costs and commissions which is around 50%

So maybe around £40,000 a month profit.

Maybe have dining and bar sales but it’ll def be under £1,000,000 profit a year.

I’d guess £500k-£600k profit.

It’s not massive money for a football club.

I’d guess £500k-£600k profit.

It’s not massive money for a football club.

I'd be surprised if they get anything close to 80% for Monday to Thursday, especially the larger rooms. Unless you're a Jambo, who's going to pay £250 - £350 a night? You're creeping well into Sheraton and Hilton territory.

Rooms don't look bad though to be fair.

Are you able to post them? I am not seeing them on the site.

Have to agree with JohnM that if half a million was achieved then that’s definitely not to be sniffed at.

I think some rooms face the plaza, the renders suggest windows. Some of the other renders look at the wall where the window would be and then it’s the live stream telly instead. If you imagine the typical hotel plan, with a corridor down the middle and the rooms either side, the livestream rooms are likely on the inside pitch side of the plan. If they had thought this through when designing the stand, windows could have been accommodated within the plan form, but of course they didn’t

I’ve been on record already saying I think it’s a bonkers idea. But if it makes them 500k profit a year then I fail to see the negative in that.I remember "Hibs" investing in a pub chain, another line of income that couldn't fail. That did not go well. To make the 500K the place needs to be full every night. Once the novelty weara of it'll be on Groupon...

Thanks. Have to say if those illustrations are how the rooms turn out then they’ve done well with the space they had to work in. The picture on the wall of the Roseburn room is a little comical but no surprise the “plaza rooms” have a huge window. The illustration doesn’t quite tell the true story of the view mind.

The Fingal at Leith has very few window but is definitely a luxury product. I’m not sure tynecastle has the same romance but it will have appeal to some.

Sorry but the Fingal doesn’t have the facilities to loan out GHD’s. It’s what all the big, famous and luxurious hotels in Gorgie do.

I have this image in my head that the GHD’s will have a chain with an old steel wheel attached to them aligned to an American style gas station m, when they are borrowed so no one can steal them.

Why not just have a hairdryer in each room like your most basic hotels do. Folk will bring their own straighteners??

You have the industrial area opposite the graveyard which land could purchased and a hotel built on it that would be an option.

By the way the hotel if built the rooms would have windows.

I travel for work most weeks and to be honest these rooms look pretty decent. Obviously where they are isn’t ideal but as rooms they are fine.

For a night or two lack of a window is no big deal. Some of the hotels in London I stay in have rooms with no windows. Travelling for work, using the room just to watch a bit of TV and sleep, can’t say it ever bothers me if I get a room without a window.

I'll say it - a 22 bed hotel, in Edinburgh, with a restaurant kitchen already serving food attached, with access to a bar (doesn't it?). Regardless of it's location or association, that would be a huge success anywhere in the city (if ran by someone with half a business brain). St James' Quarter have 3 hotels for example, so there's absolutely demand.

We should definitely look at this model IMO, less than a mile to the city, the tram link from the airport and a 12 minute walk. (Tynecastle is a 16 minute walk from the nearest tram stop at Murrayfield, and a far ****ter walk). There's also some events booked into Meadowbank, the snooker next week for example.

Remember when STF approached the council with plans for a hotel at ER, our wonderful (Jambo) council rejected it

Rather than seeking additional outside investment they should focus on spending their money a bit more wisely, appointing suitably qualified managers etc. If they did that even for 3 or 4 consecutive years, we’d find it hard to compete with them.

You are incorrect RdT. They’ve a single tiered 25 million pound unfinished main stand. Then we have the £4 million pound vanity project of QB. So plenty to show for it.

Difference is Foley wants his money to get us 3rd place regularly whereas Budge is using Anderson's and the fans' money on projects which will increase the value of the business (and success on the pitch seems secondary), which means more for her when she sells her shares.

Hearts have pretty much nullified any potential investment with their fan ownership model. They are extremely fortunate the boy Anderson is a Jambo or they'd be up **** creek.

Hearts have the weirdest form of fan ownsership in the world. They wanted to own their club and, when they finally managed to achieve it, realised they didn't have the guts or ability to manage it, so let Anne Budge continue to manage it (badly) as before while the fans continue to gift the club money. They supposedly own their club, but don't seem to have any idea what's going on at it or have any say in how the club they own is run. It seems like a disaster.

Supporter ownership should never mean the fans running it. A professional executive board should be in charge. Thankfully hearts have failed there too.

Yup. It is so odd. Anyone questioning why they continue to pay £100s of pounds in per year on top of a season ticket for absolutely zero benefit get hounded. They just don’t want to face into the fact that they have donated £15m + and Budge still has complete control on all decisions. The FOH don’t even bother communicating with them much anymore. It’s a total piss take but they still carry on donating.

Since the Budge years they have had zero major trophies and two relegations. They have only sold one 7 figure player (Hickey) and still managed to screw up the sell on fee (fixed price £100k instead of usual 15% which would have been £3m+

They have a new stand but the rest of the ground is in need of urgent maintenance. They still don’t own a training ground which has now been ditched by the Scotland team as being out of date or “tired” as Steve Clarke said a few weeks ago.

It even says so in Note 30 of their their accounts about the Ultimate controlling party:

The directors are of the opinion that there is no ultimate controlling party because, in substance, Foundation of Hearts Limited does not have control to govern the financial and operational policies of the Club.

Do you think BBC Scotland could revive the fly-on-the-wall documentary on our city chums, in time to cover the jumbos AGM, livestream it on Hibs TV, with commentary from Cliff and Stuart Lovell (who was excellent on co-comms v Livi)?

Would be an entertaining watch!

I still think that Hearts fly-on-the-wall series was underrated...but then again, I'm biased, as it did choose to make me the face of Hearts relegation, showing shots of me in my Grinch hat in the away end (at Tyne in the Hearts 0 Boyle 2 derby) as Scott Wilson discussed Hearts inevitable demotion/relegation...:greengrin

Someone mentioned their hotel the other day and I didnt quite believe the "no windows" chat.

Had a look at their hotel site, and there are some "plaza" rooms that look onto the school, but the majority of rooms (including the expensive ones) appear not to have any natural light - they advertise on the "roseburn" rooms that you can watch a tv with a live stream of the pitch...............

Again, I didnt quite believe it, but someone asked the question about windows on Booking.com, and the answer was "our plaza rooms have windows".

I dont go to a lot of hotels, but frankly even a flipping Travelodge in the middle of nowhere has bloody windows !

I know the initial room bookers will be 6 fingered rover drivers, but if they get actual tourists or business people, I rather think they will get some crap feedback on this.

There was a hotel at hay market that was new 10 years ago that was very modern and minimalist and I sometimes stayed after work night out to avoid need to drive in morning and £30 taxi back.

Some of the rooms had no windows and I stayed in one for £40. It was fine because it was a clean room and a place to sleep. But that was a fraction of the price and opposite haymarket station. Anyone looking to pay £150+ for a gorgie based no window room must be a total nut case.

This theme reminds me of an incident involving a hotel overlooking and part of a sports arena. While my family were on holiday in Toronto in 1990, a couple who had taken a room in the Sky Dome hotel, were having it off against their room window, thinking that said window was one-way ‘view out’ only. I think they attracted more interest than the Blue Jays who were playing a MLB game, during their public performance.:greengrin

We could still meet them in the cup this year as I expect both clubs to get through the 1st round. Been happening a lot lately.

I'd be spewing if Hibs ever allowed anything of that sort. Ffs.

Hearts didn't allow it, The Huns just cracked on. I imagine they couldn't believe their luck when they opened the janny's cupboard on accident and found a bunch of Rangers paraphernalia in a drawer marked "Big Cousins"

In (somewhat) seriousness - did rangers plan for this and print a huge sticker, or do they just carry that kind of thing around with them, you know, just in case? :greengrin

Maybe Hearts will return the favour next time they are at Ibrox with a giant one of these.

That really is funny, but if it happened to us i'd be furious that anyone at our club had allowed it to happen.

If the huns just did it off their own back, then something should be said by the authorities to stop it ever happening again.

Who the **** do they think they are, can you imagine the noise we'd hear if it had happened at ibrox and someone had covered their ****ty badge with another teams badge?

Yup, entitled xxxxxxs...
Only issue though is why did Hearts agree to let that lot have the home dressing room - answers on a postcard?

It wouldn’t have been Hearts choice. They must have been the ‘home’ team

That's telling them. Budge sounds really, really, really in the huff with them. Oh boy.

Everybody spits on their daft badge multiple times an hour, every day of the year, all year round and triple when there's tour parties on. But they go in the huff with a bit plastic. Stonybridge FC.

Did these Jumbo crest defacers every get caught and executed :greengrinAs an art form graffiti has reached huge heights. Even if its used to get a quick, legible message across the method is simple. Then there's that effort.
