Mr Sifter Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 12 minutes ago, campbell said: I am in this camp as well, but rather than move it to Murrayfield could we not postpone it? The SPFL have allowed other clubs to do it in the past for “glamour friendlies” etc why can’t we get one nicked back a few weeks. Surely it would also be the most cost savvy way or is it not that simple I agree. A postponement is by far the best option. There are SPFL Premiership games being played on Wednesday 29th November. No reason why we couldn't play Kille that night as far as I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would have to move it to Murrayfield as I can't see the league allowing us to simply postpone a game when we have a proven alternative venue. Would be difficult to justify it, imo.

Jambo 4 Ever Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 4 hours ago, FarmerTweedy said: I'd say she was giving very little away, tbh. I think the biggest issue will be that a decision needs to be taken well in advance of the actual game, so that any arrangements re tickets, catering, etc can be sorted out, and they'll need to be pretty much 100% certain that Tynecastle will be ready in order to make the decision to keep the game at Tynecastle. While I'm still inclined to think the ground can be ready in time for the game, I don't think the club will have enough certainty about that early enough to avoid having to move the game to Murrayfield. Fair enough Is there not a Scotland rugby match that weekend though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I being unrealistic by dreaming that the horizontal maroon line is one giant strip light that gets lit-up when it's dark? I noticed some pink strip lights at Murrayfield (which are pretty crap examples), but it made me think that pink strip lighting could be used along the back of each stand inside, and would be a pretty nice effect.

Tiger Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) its been moved to MF http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/6277 Following a period of fairly intense speculation over the past few weeks, I can now confirm that the Board has decided to take further advantage of our contingency arrangements with the SRU to play our "Home" fixture against Kilmarnock FC, on Sunday, 5th November, at BT Murrayfield. These arrangements have been confirmed with all parties involved and I would like to record my appreciation for their co-operation in agreeing to the change in venue. I will issue a further detailed progress up-date to our supporters later in the week. I would, however, take this opportunity to stress that the building programme will see the handover of Phase 1 requirements to the club within the next 10 days. However, the time then remaining to enable "acceptance testing" of all the various new facilities and processes would be very limited, were we to aim to play our opening game on 5th November, 2017. One of our key objectives is to ensure that our first game back at Tynecastle runs smoothly, and provides supporters with the best possible match-day experience. We have therefore decided to take advantage of the opportunity open to us to call on our contingency arrangements for this fixture, thereby giving us more time to robustly test out all of our new facilities. I will finish at this point by thanking you all for your fantastic support so far this season, which has helped the team immeasurably. To be in a top six position, having played all 10 league games away from Tynecastle, is a terrific achievement, helped in no small measure by the superb traveling support and indeed by the wonderful turnout at BT Murrayfield. Please keep it up. We will be home soon! Edited October 23, 2017 by Tiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy the jambo Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I think the Partick game will be a guaranteed sell out,they're one of the few clubs who're actually welcome and liked + they helped out during our dark times,maybe as a gesture,the hearts board members should discount the tickets they get and enable they sell out the away allocation,we can also reduce cash tickets too,if we test the stadium out at its maximum, capacity,any issues will be resolved and ironed out for the next games.
