leginten Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 So, over a 15 month period, we spent ?36k on Repairs and Maintenance. Yet another Hibs myth busted that our "asbestos ridden death trap of a main stand" is dangerously draining our finances. Not just a Hibs myth, I'm afraid. It's one of the first items on the agenda of those Hearts fans who'd have us sitting in a half-empty, slightly larger version of McDiarmid Park somewhere near the bypass.

FarmerTweedy Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Our award winning programme costing us almost double to produce than we bring in. Presumably Ambulance costs are for there to be one on standby at matches? And what do we own that we would bring in rent money from? Some of the income listed as advertising income will be from the programme, so the sales figure won't be all we bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it would suit some, but I can't think of anything worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 During the last couple of years I have thought of a few things worse. Why assume a new 20000 plus stadium would be half empty?. I m not saying that's what I want but you really can't think of anything worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the emotional pull of the place I don't believe we would have escaped admin through fan efforts and we would not have sold 12,000 STs for the championship.

johnking123 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 We do have sort our main stand out. A 9-10 thousand main stand would be perfect. A well run hmfc would have sell outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Clearly the liqiuidation of the club would have been more than an inconvenience. As for the survival of Hearts being wholly dependent on the emotional appeal of Tynecastle - bollocks. Every game we played at Murrayfield, the hated freezing and two thirds empty and totally unsuitable venue that would mean certain death attracted more people than Tynecasle's capacity.

I've already argued on another thread today that the speculation that a move to Murrayfield would have killed Hearts was no more than that - just speculation. But at the same time I think using the fixtures we did play at Murrayfield as an example of what life there would have been like in the SPL would not be sensible. Maybe that's not what you're trying to do, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't purely emotional, but you know that. Financially, going to Murrayfield whilst still in significant debt, as a loss making business, taking on extra rental costs was not going to end well. And trying to compare big European nights there to pretend the stadium was suitable is even more cringeworthy than your usual nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
