Ask him if he's interested in a couple of grands worth of Vlad's special shares from that cash only issue I could do with a holiday so can let him have some if he's quick.

I've got a £4000 plastic owl he could have for £3999.99 if he's quick. Apparently it's the brother of the famous tiny castle one.

There are some real gems from that era.

They've certainly changed their minds a good few times re. the pros & cons of Tynie.

Hearts plan big cover-up


Thu 18 Dec 2003 12.35 GMTFirst published on Thu 18 Dec 2003 12.35 GMT


Hearts today revealed they will attempt to hide any empty seating should they move to Murrayfield.


The debt-ridden Edinburgh club are keen to sell their Tynecastle home and groundshare at Scotland's national rugby union stadium.


Such a plan has already been condemned by the Federation of Hearts Supporters' Clubs, who claim the move would "decimate" the Jambos' following.


But chief executive Chris Robinson is determined to plough ahead and Hearts have released a detailed document condemning Tynecastle as "not fit for purpose".


However Hearts' average home crowd of around 12,000 would be swallowed up by a stadium that can hold more than 67,000.


The club plans to use only the lower tiers and the document reveals that cosmetic attempts to hide the unused seating have also been formulated.


It reads: "Should the club move to Murrayfield, we would look at ways of masking or blanking out the top tiers so that the impression of the stadium is much smaller and more compact."


Although the need to wipe out debts of more than £17m is the main reason for the desire to leave Tynecastle, there are additional reasons.


The 17,000-capacity ground features stands that are close to the pitch and while that creates a good atmosphere, new Uefa guidelines state that the current playing surface is too small for future European competition.


The document added: "Tynecastle, ironically, is much-loved by those in football precisely because it does not meet the regulations.


"The steep stands and closeness to a small, tight pitch create a unique atmosphere.


"Whatever the outcome, it is clear that the playing arena dimensions required will always mean that wherever the stadium is located or occupied, that atmosphere can never be recreated."


Robinson came under fire from former director Leslie Deans in recent weeks, with the latter urging fans to start a campaign to stay at Tynecastle.


But Hearts have argued that improvements would be just too expensive, and Robinson believes Murrayfield represents the best solution.


"Murrayfield has everything that can deliver viability to Hearts' business plan - corporate boxes, car parking, corporate facilities, space for perimeter advertising, seating without limited sight lines or restricted views, opportunities for licensed facilities," he said.


"Clearly it also has a significantly increased capacity. Many of the largest businesses in the world do not own their assets, but simply lease, rent or have arrangements to utilise them."

So what's happened re the Uefa guidelines since then to make it OK for them to play European ties there (not that they've played one for a good while)??

The very thought of all those Duncans inserting their small change into an inert farmyard animal.

Sounds like blind date Gorgie style.

IIRC they can play preliminary games there but should they reach the competitions proper (group stages) they cannot.

The only group stages they'll be reaching in the foreseeable will be the league cup, and even that will be a challenge for them.

Do they have a 140 page thread discussing us or are they not THAT obsessed?

This thread is specifically about them, our rivals in a season where they look likely to go down - over there our name pops-up in almost every thread, even ones that are nothing to do with us !

There are 5 threads about the Duncans on the first page.

There would be more but a "generic" thread was created to reduce the number.

We're just the same as them. But better obviously.

The worse they are, the more fun it is to laugh at them and right now they are totally *****.

Their obsession is temporarily diluted because they have much more serious issues to discuss. If you look carefully at their internal strife, you will find many ‘comfort blanket ‘5-1’s’. If and when they get their heads above water, they’ll return to type and their obsession with us will be alive and well in Georgie.

Robertson was a man ahead of his time, and he told the truth here as well. He was never going to last.

Well, no I don't obviously, but you know what I mean.

All the above are acceptable but I'm in the Yammy Duncan camp.

A blend of new and old.

I care about the Duncan one more than the yam one now TBH.

The reason is was the look of resignation on the face of our family yam who was clearly disturbed by it when he watched it for the first time, the slight smile, then the sweary words, and worse, about the Murrays were followed by the inevitable 5-1 thing but I knew then he was concerned it might last.

His Hibby missus confirmed he doesn't like the comparison either.
