jamboinglasgow Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Or it could be that Sergio wanted them to train outside and Spartans have a artifical pitch which is full size (despite what the hobbits over there think, the inside pitch is not full sized, it is 2/3rds size.)

The hobos are onto the greatest scandal since watergate, though I think when they talk about their source and deepthroat i dont think they mean it in the way the Washington Post used it.

chunky chick Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Exactly, ?2.5m up front for 25 years rent at ?100k per annum is what we paid. I think there may be a small payment to be made each year (maybe for upkeep/wear and tear) but our ?2.5m paid the vast majority back in 2000 or whenever. If the hibbies think we haven't paid rent then perhaps they should ask themselves a very simple question - Why would we hand over ?2.5m to the owners of a building we didn't own if it wasn't to enable us to use it? Trumpets. This is the 3rd or 4th time hibsnet have had a thread on us getting kicked out of Riccarton and surprise surprise all the rumours turned out to be BS. We paid 2.5million up front to use Riccarton for 25 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brightside Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Has anybody noticed since Hibs have had their super-dooper training complex opened they have been in steady decline on and off the pitch? Shame. :'> I don't know why Hibs fans get on their high horses about the Hibs training centre. I regularly use the Hibs training centre as there is a 7 a side league there on a Sunday and it is definitely not 'state of the art'. The main outdoor pitch has quite a large slope on it from one touchline to the other (I assume for drainage) but its far greater than any other full size astro surface I have played on (Riccarton, Saughton or Spartans). Two set of floodlights on the main outdoor pitch are faulty, there is regularly no soap, lighting, heat or hot water in the changing area we get to use, they cry it 'the barn'. 'The barn' that houses the indoor pitch is fairly small, similar to a pitch at world of soccer. To be fair the grass pitches look in good condition, and I assume they have gym facilities etc indoors and it is commendable that they have their own training centre but its not state of the art its a couple of grass pitches and a large astro pitch with poor lighting and shelter to the elements.

haj Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 if the Hobos were correct in what they say, we were due to go bust 3 years ago. This. And that should be that, we should have stopped entertaining what those muppets have to say as soon as Tynecastle didn't get sold to Cala homes. Let them try and nurse their inferiority complex by talking about us instead of relegation but we have far more important issues to concern ourselves with than what they think.

chunky chick Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes, why do you ask? Edit - here's confirmation...... The Company's balance sheet includes the cost of the completion of the Youth Academy on the Riccarton Campus at Heriot-Watt University. This represents an investment to date of ?2.54 million. From........... http://www.investegate.co.uk/article.aspx?id=200411290700207337F I only ask because I wasn't aware of it. I don't doubt the premise, but are you sure that is for rent? It doesn't look like it to me. Also paying 25 years rent up front would be a very strange financial arrangement. In fact it would be folly. But, as I said, I could be wrong.

Mr Brightside Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Also paying 25 years rent up front would be a very strange financial arrangement. In fact it would be folly. Not really maybe there was a substantial discount for rent up front? Also in 25 years the facilities will be dated and need upgraded or replaced, being a tennant means hearts won't need to bear the full cost of this and can asses any other options available at this time.

redm Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 That thread is hilarious! One mention of a training session at Spartans and the lot of them are off like mangy whippets to have a look a the business rates arrangements for the ground just on the off chance they might spot something which allows them to form tenuous links with councillor pals convincing other council pals to give us freebies "yet again". What in the actual...? Meanwhile others are claiming to be ITK about us trying to "get a deal with Spartans, ken" because we "canny pay Riccarton, ken"....or sitting back watching the thread spin into even more nonsense whilst muttering darkly about "nails in coffins" and repeating sub letting clauses from the tenancy contract at Ainslie Park like some sort of voodoo mantra. Then some sensible soul comes along and ruins it all.... Probably nothing in it. Really looks like we're clutching at straws here. You can actually sense the proverbial pant wetting from some on here, the minute a negative finance related post about Hearts goes up - which, as usual, turns out to be nothing again.

tian447 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Heard that we're being docked 10 points for not acting in good faith to the League by not having our players train in the same place all the time. Apparently it causes unrest to our players by making them travel to different parts of the town, and it causes stress to Hibernian FC supporters as they have more concern over our teams well-being than we do, and they have to keep tabs on us at all times.
