Especially when their recent history is littered with bumping charities, pensioners and public bodies, particularly some of those charities where they claim to have one of their odd "special relationships".Quote:

Pumped 3-0 from Maloney's Wigan, Stephen Humphry's amongst the goals. Love to see it.
I am reliably informed that the FoH guy Andrew McKinley who was hosting some event for the faithful at Tynie at the weekend (they love a dinner in the schoolview lounge, do the rover drivers) told those in attendance that they had "a waiting list of more than 7000 for Season Tickets".
I am not sure whats more amusing -
- The 7000 figure itself,
- That they have a wee rickety stadium which cant meet their "massive demand"
- Or that it will be incredibly costly to enlarge (even if it is possible)
So by his reckoning they would have 20-22k ST holders? Yeah right. [emoji38]Quote:

Chicken in a basket and a nice bottle of lambrusco followed by a speech telling them they dont just have a waiting list of 7000 but a waiting list of OVER 7000. Bigliness indeed.Quote:

I would love to hear a Jambo's viewpoint on this .... because it seems to me that under Budge's tenure the club possibly made the worst decision in it's history by missing a huge opportunity to up it's capacity to at least 22,000. As I've said so many times, for the money they have spent you should have been looking at a double decker stand with corporate in the right place and a capacity of at least 8,000.
Think McKinley is their CEOQuote:

I just don’t get what they are spending their money on. So far it’s £40m+ of donations they’ve spent without silverware success and no disgruntled noises coming from their fans at all. They’re like a docile congregation at a Gorgie American style evangelical church and pastor Budge is standing at the front with a big pair of foam hands demanding more money. MORE MONEY! SEND ME MORE MONEY!
Take this season as as an example. They probably have £4m of Euro money from last season that wasn’t spent, £1.5m from the foundation, and £4m from Anderson. That’s nearly £10m of extra cash before we even count their record season ticket sales.
Thankfully for us there is no competence at all on the board of Directors. It’s run by an old lady who’s last business success was 20+ years ago and some McKinley guy in a cardigan she must have met at a golf club dinner.
They should be miles and miles ahead of anyone else in third place. Why are their fans not questioning this?
MORE MUUUUNNNEY!
What was that other guy as well. The big striker, they had the plane watch for him arriving. didnt have shorts big enough for him? played a couple of games then puntedQuote:

Fortunately it was not at full time ,when people were leaving. So it was decrepit then.
36.000 at the 7 zero game to give an idea of New Year Derby crowds then .
The school end funnel ? It did cause some anxiety when a full end/crowd made its way out and things got "tighter"
I better add
Exiting the Dunbar End at ER wisnae to clever either when that end was full.

Their only solution seems to be, by their own admission, an expansion of the Wheatfield stand to a capacity of around 10,000 or even more. As you say, they are talking about it costing around 50 million quid ... 50 million to add another 5,000 seats is absolutely insane for a club of Hearts size, real or imagined. And even if by some miracle they found that money they would need NBD to move the ethanol tanks they have so far steadfastly refused to move and possibly even sell them at least part of their warehouse before building could even begin. I'm sure getting their pals at ECC to sell them the community pitch at a knock down price wouldn't be a problem though.
If Hearts really do have between 5 and 7 thousand fans crying themselves to sleep at night because they cant get a season ticket to see the 'famous' they better get used to it, because there aint no way they'll be getting one any time soon.
I laughed at them for not building a proper sized main stand, but I was wrong ... the real joke it turns out was their obsession to stay at a stadium with no room for expansion except at enormous cost, instead of being realistic and planning to build a new one elsewhere.
It puts our stadium into perspective ... If it came to it we could expand the capacity to around 23,000 pretty easily at an absolute fraction of the cost the Yams would have to pay to add the same number of seats to the Pink Bus Shelter ... OK we don't have 5000 folk on a ST waiting list, but 10 years ago neither did the Hertz and even the most rabid Jambo would have scoffed at anybody who suggested they would ... one things for sure, if it can happen to them it can happen to us and when it does at least we wont have to find anything like 50 million quid to address the problem :greengrin
If it was allowed they should have bought the old high school and build a 380000 seater stand to house all their 400000 fans
