In other words, the least 'premium' set up imaginable.
Will anyone admit to going there and verify this?

It's ok but certainly not 'premium'. Like a function hall in a community centre or a cheap hotel. The facilities at ER, certainly in the main stand, are infinitely better.

I love the description of a 'hot fork buffet lunch'.
Can just picture some fat, sweaty yambloid looking sinister in cheap suit and 100% polyester club tie throwing a fork in the air and screaming 'aww ya basturt, that's totally roasting'. Luckily for this yam he'll inevitably work for the health and safety executive so can report said incident.

It must have been done up between the 05/06 and 06/07 season as they have big blown up pictures all over the wall, including one of the huddle that they did for a while.

And then file it in the "No further action to be taken" cabinet along with all the asbestos reports.

Im guessing because they are playing DUNDEE!!!!
Hibs did a similar deal against St Mirren last year and was very popular, in this day and age of football hospitality it is incredibly difficult to get people to part with their cash and therefor most are now trying different things to get bums on seats, create atmosphere and introduce new customers to various hospitality packages.
I have been invited a few times for the derby and although the suite has seen better days the catering etc was excellent.
Scottish football is tough and it would seem that all club supporters were adamant that newco was booted which happened and the clubs supported this, unfortunately it would appear supporters then went in hiding (apart from Aberdeen) and didnt support by sticking their hands in their pocket and su[pporting the club by being in the stands, even against Hertz it was poor.
Lets stop being critical of others making an effort to get bums on seats, turn off of the PC and get off yer erse and support the club as these deals wouldnt need to be done if the supporters made an effort.

Aside from the fact theyre offering hospitality in a shed, I dont see what the problem is here. Theyre playing a team they know they probably wont get a huge capacity crowd for, so they sell a few 'premium' tickets at reduced rates to try and bump up the attendance and get a bit more money. We could do a lot worse than offering something similiar.

I saw the mail this morning. I had the misfortune of being in the Gorgie Suite after the rivals charity match last year, the place is a dump. I love the line "enjoying panoramic views over the ground" - are they going to take you up to the top of the floodlights? In order to see the pitch from the Gorgie Suite they have to fold back a bit of the stand and even then you're at ground level right behind the goals, so the description sounds a wee bit inaccurate.

Sheer desperation as usual, just like the empty seats all round smell castle at home games they are struggling despite the clowns that support them claiming otherwise.
Only a matter of time before it all goes

Hate to dissapoint but its nothing to do with the big team, there catering rights were sold to the caterer and it will be them doing the deal. Hearts revenue for catering will be the same for the year regardless of attendances..

Quite a good idea. Unusual to offer corporate to away fans though isn't it? I wonder if they've made a mistake there and Dundee fans will end up being ejected?

Out of interest do you know if Hibs also sold the catering for hospitality to an outside company?

Azzure were in charge at hibs last time i looked, although hibs do handle this themslves and the caterer worries about food (a slighlty better option than hearts IMO).

I'm surprised at this fixture not selling out? Didn't Hearts win the league against Dundee a few years back?

It is classed as Premium now because they have changed the light bulb at last. As this offer has been pitched at Dundee fans, anyone fancy chipping in and giving Albert Kidd a grand day out.

Some of the desxriptions of the suite on here are amongst the funniest things ive ever read. Got a great picture in my mind of this mystical place.
