Hearts director Sergejus Fedotovas has denied suggestions that the club cannot afford a new stand, saying they just have to scale down the size and cost of the development.

Does installing a new light bulb count as 'development'?

[Jonnyboy]

Hmmm 60watt instead of 100 then

[Jack]

Its a bit odd that we find the time is right to build but nothing but promises from our best pals.
.
Its a bit odd that new hotels are being created all over Edinburgh but nothing but excuses from our best pals.
.
Its a bit odd that they are £35 million in debt and dont have World Cup stars to show for it, just players hoovered up from the bottom 6 of the SPL and below.
.
Its just a bit odd.

The jealousy, anger and down right hatred that oozed out of them when we got our new stand under way was just a master class in prime time comedy.

A part of me hopes that a new stand at Gorgie is built, just to compare the brand new pink bus shelter stand to the galactic £51 million stand with a hotel, theme park, casino and the museums featuring 5 floors on the Heart of Midlothian victory in WW1 and WW2 that was planned.

[Diclonius]

It'll be a mirror image of the Wheatfield plus dugout.

Or nothing at all.

Take your pick.

The problem they have is still one of space. They're over there spouting about their great atmosphere and how any new stand will only improve that and how our stands are too far from the pitch. Well, there's a reason we've left space and that's to make the stadium fully EUFA compliant. So presumably if they do build a stand they'll have to move the pitch away from the Wheatfield stand and leave the required distance between the pitch and the new stand, thus losing part of the atmosphere.

They're also going on about how their new main stand will be better than our new one. What they seem to overlook is that our new stand isn't our main stand, the west is, and even we're sometimes guilty of overlooking how good that stand looks.

If they ever do get round to building a new stand it'll need to go some to offer the space and facilites that are available in the south, FF and west (our main) and they'll also be faced with the same issues we had, size of the pitch, run off space, distance between dugouts and touchline etc.

I'm not very good with computers but when our stand is finished I'd love to see four comparison photos our main v their main, FF v Gorgie stand etc. This would surely end any debate!

Finally if you're ever looking for a way to wind them up, ask where they go for a beer before their home games then drop in that you go to our 'in stadium' bar capable of holding 800 patrons. See how quick they'll change the subject.

Glory Glory.

Is that why the pubs around the ground are empty before the games, cos everyones in the Stadium bar? Shame for the local traders...could be the reason why pubs are shutting?

Thon muppet cant really come out and say anything else

He has to keep the 400,000 pink twirlers believing

I'll be very surprised if this goes ahead during Vlad's tyranny

What empty pubs?

TBF the two pubs (The Coopers and Tamson’s) I pass on the way to the ground are normally quite busy before and after the games at the time BTG is open. I cant say for the other pubs around ER but have no reason to think they are much different.

The most obvious hit on the local bars are early Sunday, even Saturday, kick offs, scheduled (and unscheduled) mid week games. It’s a bit of a piss take that the TV companies charge these pubs so much while at the same time taking away their income on big match days.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

why not go for a 1:43 scale that way they can take it home at night for safe keeping

[MrSmith]

I'm sure the jumbos still have to pay the cooncil for the nursery and land where they are going to build their soopa doopa new all-inclusive smoking gazeebo...however, is the planning forms in yet and consent given for their new development??

I think not!


The jumbo fans are pathetic and really aren't worth showing pity as they have all brought it upon themselves...

Interesting times ahead and I for one will watch events unfold with a big smile on my face...

[blackpoolhibs]

I wonder if these believers have ever asked themselves, why when steel and labour prices are at an all time low, and little Hibs are building a new stand, taking advantage of these low prices. Are none of them asking why they are not taking advantage too, especially as they only owe money to themselves?

[Auckland Hibs]

Taken from oneflewoverthecuckoo'snestkickback relating to the PBS and their new stand.....

Hibs fans like to take the mickey out of Tynecastle with their Pink Bus Shelter nonsense but it is a very good stadium, the three new stands serve their purpose, provide seats and enhancing the atmosphere. Hibs may have seats but they have little else, they dont have that stadium 'x' factor that makes the place extra special at matches, that can make the opposition tremble and fear coming there. So many stadium fail to achieve this, but some do, Celtic Park does, Anfield does.

I like the Main stand, it is a classic stand. But the problem is that its a stand built for purpose in 1914 not for the 21st stadium. I think we could of got away with keeping it had it not been the main stand. Sadly we need a new stand to take Hearts further. But I think that when coming up with a new stand, it needs to be different and keep the cracking atmosphere in. If only we could also fill in the corners (someone mentioned we cant, well not easily, due to the floodlight towers holding up the stadium) that would create such a atmosphere for the Stadium, the echo effect would be devastating, if we could master that imagine the fear the opposistion fans and players would feel and the stirring it would have on Hearts (ignore the pun) of our players.

Anyway. From listening to the interview with Sergey (the good one©) it sounds like that just like any business who had planned a large capital intensive project and then the recession came along, they have to readjust as they cant afford the same level of investment. So they seem to scrap the hotel and conference building. Then readjust the stand plan to still bring in an increase of seats and also corporate facilities to create another revenue stream that Hearts have been missing before. Interestingly Sergey apart from things done in 2-3 years with the stand, he mentioned in 5 years time he wants to see the stadium upgraded as a whole, so obviously the main stand is not the only thing he wants do, personally I think it will be moving the Roseburn stand back to where the school so as to lengthen the stadium (the original main stand plans had the main stand overlapping the Roseburn and the tunnel nearer the Roseburn then on the center line.) It would also mean they would do something with the Wheatfield. Sergei mentioned that they want international football at Tynecastle. While at the momment it is just words, imagine in five years time these things happened, the future would be exciting, we will see what happens in five years time.

That lot are ****ing mental.

In 5 years they want to upgrade the whole stadium .i.e moving stands, etc. Don't they realise in 5 years they won't be here anymore?!

[Speedway]

We better watch out for Jumbo's signings though. He's got Barr, He's got Kyle and now he's reportedly on the verge this morning of signing USA international Don Kiddick

You are indeed correct. £5.9million. See: No Land to Build

I'm not signing for them *******s.

[brydekirk]

give the yams a break, the papers have obviously got the numbers wrong. we all know its £51m and not £15m they have to spend.

[hibhib7]

I've been told there was an article in the NOTW that Vlad's bank have been reported for money laundering by a Belgian company. A huge sum is involved, apparently.

I don't normally go to the pub before a game but that's because I have my young son with me (although at 13 he is taller than me and would probably get served!!) BTG is a godsend for people with young families as they can enjoy a pint while the kids are entertained with games rather than standing outside with a can of juice and a packet of crisps. Extra money for the club as well from punters who would most likely not go for a pre match drink anyway.

Their floodlights must be a new kind of foundation floodlights if they can hold up the stadium

There are columns/pylons at each corner which hold up the roofs. It just so happens that the floodlights are also fixed to them.

Wouldnt it be funny if someone else came in and offered more than hertz are trying to renegotiate and they lost the land?

So in 5 (plus as many as they can get away with) years its their ambition to be where we are just now? But with debt!

It's lasted well considering it was put up at a time when HOMFC had far more pressing matters to attend to, such as ensuring the very survival of Europe. The small matters of a bit too much asbestos, a bit too much combustible wood, etc, pale into insignificance when set against the singlehanded achievement of maintaining a free world.

What, and built something like a Franck Sauzee Statue or summit instead?

Its a bit ironic that they managed to save the free world and now they answer to the dictatorship of vlad

[Antifa Hibs]

They're no the brightest the jambos are they.

First off all dafties on KB are comparing the auld East with their current main stand... Weras they should be comparing the West with their Main stand, absulutely no contest their.

Then they are batting on about atmospheres. Easter Road will now be even more souless and pathetic than before blah blah blah now the pitch has been widened. Now this may well be the case, but coming from a Jambo..? They seem to think Tynie is like the Inonu Stadium (Besiktas), the fact is they can only create any noise when us are celtic are in town.

This qoute from KB just shows how jealous and obsessed they are with us, just reeks of pure and utter jealous

Joking mate? their ground is soulless, devoid of atmosphere, cheap looking and the stands are so far apart from each other and the pitch that even if they were to fill it -which they can't even get close to doing- it would still be one of the worst grounds in Scotland for atmosphere... can you not see all this? Honestly?

This one aswell, dry your eyes jambo

The Tramps new stand looks like it should be beside a Subbuteo pitch.

And then this made me laugh. I actually feel sorry for Hearts fans these days when this is the only thing they can slag us for

Wonder if they'll have those rather embarrassing beer mat badges cut into their ****ty green steelwork.

And this qoute just for laughs

Tynecastle's three most recent stands were a masterstroke of building and design, i think it was more by accident than intended, they had to build something in a very limited space but... What a job Clydesdale did eh? However the steep tightly fitted stands came about, i totaly adore them and they have created an atmosphere like no other at our home... When that last piece does finaly get built it will be a steep, imposing, rousing and intimidating stadium that is built up rather than out and it will be like sitting inside a giant bass amplifier when the final stand is built to complete the project. B)

I am willing to wait when the end product will be like nothing else in Britain and toatally unique...

Obsessed much? You better believe they are!

And ER doesn't have the 'x' factor either

And obviously the PBS as well . They believe all the pish spouted by the media about the wonderful atmosphere at tynecastle
