Rather than be boring, and apply for (and comply with) the so-called "health & safety" laws, Hearts were unique in spying the opportunity to apply for (and very nearly fail to achieve) a "temporary safety certificate".
This certificate would not last for the season, no sir, where would be the thrill in that? Dramatically, Hearts used Temporary Safety Certificates to uncork a thrill that could be relived on a game-by-game basis. Every game needed a new certificate. Every game meant another brush with the authorities.
This meant Hearts were in the headlines all through the evening and night of the day before matchday, in a "will-they-won't-they" drama that would have graced the scriptwriters of Friends (think Ross and Rachel) or, perhaps more accurately, like something out of the Fast Show (think Ted and Ralph)

Yammy-Dodgers
A phenomenon seen in the Yam dugout.
It goes like this, Craig (I'm the celebrity manager get me out of here) Levein sees how a match is developing, decides to dodge responsibility for another up coming poor home result and contrives a way to get sent to the stand, thus handing said responsibility to his right-hand man.
The right-hand man, in this case Nanny (I prefer to stay in the background) McPhee, cottons on to what his boss has done and says to himself, "Oh no you don't, I'm not carrying the can for this one, I'm coming up into our shiney new stand with you and leaving Mr Daly with this problem", proceeds to picks a fight with the opposition so he can join his boss.
Poor Mr Daly is stuck with the responsibility and can't even reach a fire-alarm to set off thus having the match abandoned.
Meanwhile, Messrs Levein and McPhee sit in the shiney new stand with a bag of world-class chips and hope the gullible hoards will blame the referee for their team's performance.

Yam Chips
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place sliced yams in a large mixing bowl and pour the oil over them.
Use your hands to toss .(honest this is genuine recipe)
Spread the slices out on a baking sheet (use 2 if you need to) and sprinkle with the salt, pepper and chili powder.
Bake 8-10 minutes until they begin to turn brown.
Then flip and and cook for another 8-10 minutes (check once or twice to make sure they don't burn).Let cool for at least 10 minutes, then serve or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Silence of the Yams
21.5.16 As Sir David Gray rose to nod into the net the simultaneous combustion of stats and songsheets left the yams devoid of material resulting in a subdued crowd of nearly 400,000 former Vladsheep yams. At time of writing they have still to find their voice - also see Yammute - not to be confused with the other use of the word which means the disorientation caused by a temporary relocation to Murrayfield.
Leveintation - the art of floating from a Tynecastle dugout to a seat two rows above in the stand upon instructions from a referee (typically carried out with infantile tantrum and lack of grace).
