    They even built a new High School not a goal kick away from the site. Do you really think they would have done that if there was any risk.
    Excellent point.

    Reading between the lines, the Mckie bid sounds effectively conditional on the SPL/SFA letting them sign players to give them a chance of staying up. You would think given the Pars situation and that they've just had another "remuneration default" so soon after their last embargo there'd be no chance. Then again, given the "authorities" performance in the hun saga it's definitely not a foregone conclusion. Rod better not go easy on the *******!

    My Facebook friends will have seen I was chatting with a millionaire uber jambo last night.

    In the past he's always been "we'll get out of this just you see". Last was a change that rocked me to the core!

    Jack they don't deserve to exist, I'm sickened, I don't care anymore.

    The poor laddie has woken up. Hearts are this, Hearts are that - nothing even remotely positive. He then extolled the virtues of STF and uncle Rod! Hibs are a fantastic example he told me. Well I tell you my flabber has never been so gasted :D

    As well as all the crap we know about he told me their 'true' debt level BDO are working from.

    £59 million!!!!!!!!

    "Really" I said "is that all."

    He also asked if I would take him to Easter Road next season "cause these ######### are not getting another penny from me, even if I win the Euro millions" "Of course I will, you can start by signing up for the Hibs Lotto. I'll send you a link."
    Get him converted mate ! get him a seat in the East with you ! uber hibby millionaire better ring to it.

    Even the previous school was right on top of the distillery.
    Which was built first?
    If it was the school then the council must have been satisfied the distillery would be 100% safe.
    If the distillery was built first they had to know it was 100% safe to build a school beside it.
    They can't weasel out of this.
    The land must be ok to build on.
    The SCHOOL surely sets the precedent on the safety issue.

    That might be it. But this new 'consortium' seems to be following the formula that BK used to try and get Rangers - make a big splash about being credible, wealthy and the only game in town... Check... Then make an offer for the club as a going concern.

    Difference this time is that they are clearly looking to doing a property deal involving Tynecastle.

    If planning permission were to be denied by the council, it's more likely they would cite the 'Loched Butterfly' precedent. The yams would have a strong case as an endangered species
    You do know that there is a bat roost in the corner between the south and west stands. Bats are European Protected Species.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    So the PBS at that end is blast proof as well then presumably

    The Save Hearts In Troubled Emergency Knights will in that case would ultimately seek to be the "king makers" which I though Front off Hearts were...

    Not seen enough of Wilson to judge whether he is good enough to play for us, but our only real need in defence is a RB which would rule him out for me unless McPake is expected to miss most of the season. Even then there are other options to consider ahead of a free agent who could only get an offer from a financially stricken SPL club.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Did he say how he knew this?
    He didn't and I didn't want to 'spook' him.

    He has come up with stuff before that's made it clear he has got/had good contacts within the club, and a load of other places too, like the SRU so I might get some snippets about the boy who's heading up that bid, or even about the bid itself.

    If we have any ambition of progressing in Europe, we could do a lot worse than sign Wilson.

    He has had some fantastic performances in that competition for sevco, especially in the away legs.

    His signing could pay for itself by the group stages?

    I thought hearts were under a transfer embargo before they went into admin for not paying players? So surely there's not a hope in hell of them being able to sign any players even if they did come out of admin before the end of August.

    800 ST's sold so far according to the Hearts site, they will have to pray it picks up at the end of the month as they will be struggling to make the 3,000 in 2 weeks if not.

    The problem paying with credit/online is a huge problem for them and IMO will be instrumental in them failing to reach their target.

    They've deprived their kiddies of Xmas presents, now it's looking like their trip to Butlins. Hopefully, The Sun will be doing their £10 holiday coupons this year

    I've heard if they write out cheques to a B. Tully he'll sort out the rest.

    He's in Tahiti at the moment but will sort it all out remotely ;)

    Drove past the savilledome about 30 minutes ago, looks like the ticket office is closed, and yes the place is deserted apart from one man/woman and there dug.

    Locke and some of the players are supposed to be their today, it's probably putting people off.

    And yet this season your rotten wee club needs as many people to buy season tickets as possible or you'll cease to exist and yet Hibs have still​ sold more!
    But aren't we supposed to be the wee tiny diddy team Surely this can't be true as hearts are the "big team" don't you know!

    What was the reported figure quoted that Hearts needed per day simply to survive? Was it not something like £10k per day?

    All this fund raising and season ticket sales reminds me of 'It's a Knockout' with hordes of Jambos trying to fill the container at the end with buckets of cash that has holes in it and leaking all over the place... Only for when the whistle goes and there is hardly anything in the container.

    Our council have just put a Development site for sale sign on the Old Tynecastle school building, details available next week.

    We will see if there are any mention on hazards or restrictions then.
