Regardless of what we Hibees think of Hearts, it would be a very daring developer that knocked down Tynecastle to build houses. How would he persuade people in that area to buy a home on the graveyard of Hearts? If Easter Rd was knocked down in similar circumstances would you buy a house on the site? I know I wouldn't.Quote:

Let's face it, if the right house at the right price was available then a good few Hearts fans would tell themselves that it's not their fault the club went bust and it's time to move on, and anyway the wife really wants that flat.Quote:

There are far more people in Edinburgh who don't care about football than there are those who do. These houses would sell no problem apart from the smell from the brewery and the chemical place along the road. The site of (the soon to be defunct) Hearts ground wouldn't pose any problems. Builders would queue up to buy it if permissions were granted.Quote:

I'd very happily buy a flat there. It might become a proper little Hibernian enclave. Without the Yams, the neighbourhood, due to its proximity to the city centre, would probably appreciate in value very quickly.Quote:

But, being in Gorgie I would thought anti-social would have been a better description. :greengrin
I can see that if there is someone who can afford to buy the land then sit on it. Emotions will be raw in the meantime though. May be loads of Jambos kicking their hats around and disturbing the peace :greengrin. Still I suppose the hats could take the place of the can in Kick the Can....(for older fans like me) :agree:Quote:

On Kickback this beauty
"We also need to remember that UBIG are entitled to take what ever money they want from us.
They are after all our parent company and they can argue that we have been on the take from them for long enough"
How far do they bend over?
To be fair, he's right.Quote:

They bent over years ago when they never thought to question the Vlad regime, it's far, far too late to change that now.
The groundless fears should be experienced by Jambos as the PBS becomes flats.Quote:

Truly disgusting human beings I really hope their club die soon. Hope they enjoyed getting slaugtered in a busy pub by one man half their age. I certainly enjoyed it
Anyone notice the advert on the bottom of Kickback...
"How To Declare Bankruptcy" :greengrin:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin
Gave me a wee chuckle
If hertz are on the telly whenever I'm in a boozer ... I only EVER support whoever they are playing.Quote:

George Foulkes said at the game yesterday that things would start moving at quite a pace now. He knows some of the parties interested and believes it will work out ok in the long term.
