The new stand thread on kickback is truly something to behold. You would think that after the whole admin scare and almost losing their club, they would be over the moon at the prospect of getting a shiny new stand, but no......there are pages and pages of debate discussing how they can increase the capacity by adding to the existing stands and one plum even brought up the idea of installing a row of seats slightly beneath ground level. They may not come out and say it, but the fact that Easter Road will always have a bigger capacity is eating away at them.

The stadium capacity will increase from present 17,529 by an additional 2,280.

This will give an overall capacity of just over 20,000.

They must all be under strict instructions not to mention the capacity going up to 19 thousand and anything.

They removed a few rows of seats several years ago to maximise the size of the pitch - well as much as they could anyway. That tube obviously forgot that. Put in more seats at the front and the pitch would get down to Subbuteo size.

£12/13m for an extra 2,280 is one expensive project. It will take 20-30 yrs to see a return on that investment.

Welcome to the real world ya yam roasters.

Looking at the couple of pics I don't know why they didn't go for something bigger. Seems to be plenty of space for their 'plaza' that the stand could extend into.

Cheap option now that they are living in the real world I guess.

It absolutely kills them that ER remains bigger

[lord bunberry]

I think the main problem they have with the new stand is it hasn't got a father and daughter toilet.

[Real Emerald]

Can someone post that link to kickback to see how the discussion develops. They really should know 😂

They're adding the other 500 seats to it just now after realising 'slightly more than 20000' is still less than Easter Road

Welcome to the real world ya yam roasters.

Someone on Kickback earlier was suggesting they are in an attractive position for a 'foreign investor'.

They never learn. No one is going to invest big bucks in Scottish football without an ulterior motive unless they are a Budge, Farmer, Thompson snr type who are looking to safeguard a club and preserve them for the future.

It seems they don't like the reality most have lived in for 10 years or more.

20,099 going by the thread on KB.

It's a great read ;)

Knowing hearts, they'll add anything within the bounds of tynecastle stadium that resembles a seat on to the capacity figure. Chairs, the players bench, toilet seat... You name it. Anything that allows them to surpass the capacity of ER.

I know it won't happen, but I would absolutely love it if we did this.

I think it's fair to say that their stand will get built somehow or other, and I'd be very surprised if after all is said and done it isn't bigger than ours.

But filling in a corner the season after their stadium is finally complete would be the cream on the cake! Lol

They actually are. Just have someone from the council to do the introductions, a peer of the realm to scrutinize their credentials and existing shareholders to sell up wholesale.

What could go wrong?

When you put it like that I'm surprised no team has done that before. It must be a sure-fire way of winning the league, qualifying for the CL and even attracting world cup stars to the team.

Yeah I know it wouldn't happen or be needed just now but would be hilarious to do

Reminds me a great deal of Liverpool's. The only differences are that it's much smaller, with no facilities and hasn't been built yet.

My uncle and some of my friends are Hearts fans. On the pitch I hate the Hearts but, how are their fans mutants?
