The others were also in areas the supermarkets wanted to build in, and where no clear alternative sites existed nearby.
Gorgie/Chesser has a few alternatives (google the Fruitmarket and Morrisons for one example) which reduces any rush to offer deals that are overly kind to a company now synonymous with charity theft

If it's not then the yams find themselves playing football in the 1st division with a stadium that is falling apart, expensive to maintain and worth no more than £2.5M. There is no way they can save enough money to renovate or build a new stadium before the problems become too large to keep playing at tynecastle.

That will be the site, 0.61 hectares ( 1.5 acres ) and is about 1 mile further from town but does have a main street frontage.
The PBS is 6 acres and the offer is £ 2.5 million. Can Lithuanians do sums ?

There was a FOH Q&A tonight. Judging by the reports on kickback they're not quite as confident of a CVA anymore.

Unfortunately for the FoH, the land their asbestos riddled, crumbling deathtrap sits on is quality real estate and adds a few million onto the asking price.

CVA can't be delayed again after that
Nobody knows if cva will go through
Some ***** about budgeting for relegation
nobody on FOH is taking any salary etc
Investors are all hearts fans and not going to make any profit on investment

" If you have not pledged, PLEDGE!
- Get anybody you know who has not pledged, PLEDGE.
- If you have pledged, and you can afford it, PLEDGE MORE. "
Clearly, this is how a 'big' club operates.

Surely they could just get all the excess PLEDGE that Gary MacKay has left over after polishing his medals.

From the keekback....my comments in the black
Possible further delay of 7 days for CVA..... shock
- CVA then can't be delayed further .....Squeaky bum time...
- Hopeful CVA approved but no guarantees...thought they were already celebrating?
- Investors all Hearts fans and not making anything for their investments....great people
- Investors not revealead....I wonder why!
- Investors to be repaid in 3 years when Hearts will be owned by the fans (once in a lifetime opportunity)...more loans and more debts - wonder what the interest is?
- Need to get to 10k pledgers (average pledge £16 per month)...still quite a bit away...
- Currently 7,600 signed up....muppets...what happened to the 400,000?
- Budget for next 3 years includes worse case scenario (relegated & out cups 1st round)..lets hope this happens and they come back to reality
- Marketing being delayed until CVA decision made...can't wait to see the marketing..
- If positive outcome more details and incentives will come out and marketing will go into full drive...exciting times...
- FOH doing all work in own time and unpaid....great...give yourself a medal
- Need to tap into support for skilled people (lawyers/financial advisers/business experts) to get involved...the way big teams operate
- If CVA agreed club still needs support, this is only the beginning and fans will need to keep supporting the FOH...can't see fans doing this plus a ST every year.
- Two boards, mirror image (FOH investors & FOH board) FOH board will repay the investment over 3 years....see above - loans and more debt
- Legal agreements being drawn up but not yet finalised due to legal costs..won't be cheap
- Money is there for the club to complete the season...great - we hopefully will see them relegated or even better relegate them when we play again at the PBS
- No budget for players (wheeling and dealing may be possible I.e free transfers but that is )..you can't sign players yet..your still in Admin...basically more kids...
- Gary Locke doing a great job under the circumstances...well done...relegation will look good on the CV
- If relegated season ticket prices will probably drop...doubt it
- TV revenue if relegated is unknown..basically not much...
- If you have not pledged, PLEDGE...begging bowl out once again..
- Get anybody you know who has not pledged, PLEDGE....CRINGE
- If you have pledged, and you can afford it, PLEDGE MORE. CRINGE...BIG TEAM = BIG TROUBLE
- THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY FOR US FANS TO OWN OUR CLUB AND SHAPE ITS FUTURE - short term plan...long term not sustainable.
That's about all I can remember.Last edited by GreenCastle; 25-11-2013 at 11:31 PM.

Quote. "Perhaps some are waiting for the CVA outcome and will then pledge. "
Quote "If we don't get to 10,000 pledges then won't it just take us longer to pay back the loan"
They still don't grasp it eh ?

I can't believe they're still so blindingly accepting.
Mackie & Ford have worked tirelessly for 3 years but are chucking it right on the cusp of glory? Does that sound remotely plausible to anyone in possession of a brain? Best case for them is it's internal bloodletting that won't change the outcome but worst case ...

I feel cozy inside, knowing their best case is a club owned by windae lickers in an unsustainable model, with loan committments (since when did they pay things back, let alone on time), plummeting down to 1st division, not heading back up the way any time soon and a large model of a trampy old pink bus shelter to play in, all with dwindling angry crowds. And yes, that's the good news for them.
Still fancy the bad news, but like DBS and others, the CVA success, kinda leaves a lot of fun ahead too.
