Now? Good foresight OP.
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.

No doubt you'll be hoping to grace us with, ahem, insights after the Celtic game. See you sad m/f''s. 2-0 and they ****ed it up.
Seen there is a post on cutting our ticket allocation because we can't behave, the irony, they are a right bitter bunch aren't they, so amusing.

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.
It's all about increasing the value of the business to maximise the profit on Budge's 17.4% when she exits.
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.Quote:

Subsequent statement had shareholders details on CD so cannot see if it has since changed but I doubt it.
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.
Where's the third one of you?Quote:

Must be exclusive hotels if they have pretend windows.
If you are selling a house which has a room with no windows it is not called a bedroom but a boxroom. Should it not be a 22 boxroom hotel?

Pictures of the non windows in here
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.
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.
When would it start to make a profit given the cost?Quote:

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.Quote:

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’tQuote:

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.Quote:

Why not just have a hairdryer in each room like your most basic hotels do. Folk will bring their own straighteners??
The curtain for extra authenticity on a fake window is very stylish.

Doubt the price of land would be hugely different down the shore to make much profit and then tens of millions to build a stadium, no for meQuote:

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.
Probably a good thing not having windows being in GorgieQuote:

I’m sure Kilmarnock have a hotel and seems to do ok but it’s far superior build and rooms with windows!
The Killie hotel is decent. Stayed there for a few weddings. Boy on reception kept the bar open for us until 5am on one occasion.Quote:
