On the move from Tynie

**~~PaulSmith~~** · 22-10-2010 07:50 AM

Has anyone else heard that Hearts are 'very keen' to become part of David Murrays redevelopment of land at the other side of Edinburgh Park.
The vision is for an Edinburgh's Garden District and there is design for a 25k stadium within the sports district.

At this stage I'd probably park it with the Trams, Sighthill Stadium, the indoor football barn at Jack Kane and all those other fancy drawings that the Evening News run with but the Hearts are keen.

Pipe dream

At first glance, it would seem to be an ideal solution to their financial woes.

They could settle (some of) their debt by selling Tiny and moving to the outskirts in the West of Edinburgh.

I'm sure that renting a stadium every second Saturday or so, will cost a lot less than they're paying in interest. Then again, I don't know how much that costs.

The only downsides I can see are that there are no pubs in the area, and it would pretty much mess up their anthem.

The stadium idea will be nothing more than a ploy to try and break into the green belt. What better way to tilt the decisions of a few maroon orientated councilors than the promise of a shiny new stadium.

Walking distance from the artful dodger and crofters! :)

Two other points about debt and Stevie C's council one, yip that's how I see it and Vlad and Cardownie will be all over this like a rash

I can feel a Save the Green Belt campaign coming on.

Where exactly is this stadium being built?

**emmjayfox** · 22-10-2010 08:18 AM

Absolutely no way the council will let them build a 400,000 all seated stadium on green belt.

The other side of road of Edinburgh Park, the land on the left if heading towards the airport from Calder Road onto the by-pass.

Probably a 10 min walk from the pubs if you could through Sighthill Ind Estate past Hermiston Gait/Edin Park train station and your there. Tram link would also provide a 5 min journey from their existing hovel.

They could call it New Tynecastle Stadium.

Cheers,

I dont really fancy passing a the yam swamp on my way to work everyday

***Golden Bear*** · 22-10-2010 08:40 AM

I thought that it was pre-requisite of the SPL that all member clubs must OWN their stadiums? Or am I talking rubbish?

However I dare say that wouldn't prevent them from forming a ground sharing arrangement with Edinburgh Rugby which would be a more feasible option for them. David Murray seems very keen on rugby these days so I'm sure he'll be involved somewhere along the way.

They could but what would they do about the "Away up in Gorgie..." part of their song?

It wouldn't be their's to name.

The Murray Stadium, more likely.

"Away out in the middle of nowhere beside junction 1 of the M8 "

That will do it

***H18sry*** · 22-10-2010 08:55 AM

Seems a very feasible idea to me

, Murray and Romanov must be working hand in hand with this idea. maybe even as far as Murray will sell der huns and take over the yams, Not so mad Vlad gets Tiny and the yam fuds relocate to the garden with Murray as the new owner, or have I gone too far.

I think that has a bit of a ring to it, I can see it catching on.

From the SPL website:-

"a Club participating in the League must either own its Registered Ground, whether by itself or through a holding or subsidiary company, or have such rights of occupation or tenure in its Registered Ground as may be approved by the Board;"

But if Murray takes over the Yams..................................

Murray and his pals trot this one out every 10 years or so. It could be with the Yams more or less given up any hope of staying at the PBS, that there is a swell of public opinion behind it this time.

What is a "garden district" anyway, surely a green belt is a much more pleasant cordon for a city?

Makes perfect sense to me.

Nae luck

**~~Hibs7~~** · 22-10-2010 10:42 AM

I think they should go further west like another 40 miles as they are only Huns without a bus fare anyway !!

**Hal Jordan** · 22-10-2010 11:02 AM

I imagine they'll go for

"Away up in Gogar"

Looks like it's what you call a massive new housing estate if you're trying to build on the green belt.

The delegation are keen to learn more about Scottish football and the operations of a successful professional team in this country.
