Sorry to keep going back to keechback but I can hardly paste for laughing.

you can pretty much tell who actually goes to the games on here and who's just a keyboard warrior/ finance expert by that opinion alone.
Can you, I think you can spot the people who can see the big picture... How many big teams play in dilapidated limited stadiums

We're not talking Mcdairmid Park and a few burger vans next to a tesco... this will be master planning unseen in Edinburgh on this level. Actually quite exciting really

Maybe talking pish but haven't the 3 stands only got a 20 year life span? Or have I made that up?
25 years when opened. But I think that was something that was unlikely to be a big problem after the initial 25.

Thing for me is the group could be thinking of American market in the future. Us Americans get pretty attached to any club with American players on them, ie Everton, Fulham(McBride/Dempsey), Tottenham. Heck when Rangees signed Bocanegra\Bedoya along with having Edu, Rangers games were on tv (Fox Soccer Plus) within a few weeks.

Putting aside what a new stadium would look like for a second.
If we were to move to a new ground somewhere like Hermiston Gait, where would folk go for a drink before a big game? The Crofters? The Dodger?

With a degree of investment the stadium can be up there with the best

Selling Tynie could, optimistically, at least pay back their initial 5million investment. They would essentially then own a football club that needs a new stadium. All they would need to do now is buy the land for the new one when it is relatively cheap and then sell the Tynie land whenever the housing or construction market feels like picking up again

The atmosphere would be brilliant, maybe they'd even build a running track round the outside of the pitch too
