Neil Jung Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 And some clubs such as Hearts manage to combine reminding fans which ground they have come to with aesthetics which also appeal to those who don't need to be reminded!Each to their own FA.

SpikeDudley Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 the last time we had the track re-done was 2005 when Vlad had just taken over. good times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 the last time we had the track re-done was 2005 when Vlad had just taken over. good times... I believe it was also during Vlad's reign that the revolutionary innovation of hand washing facilities in the Gents in the main stand was introduced. Before that there was no alternative to going straight from the pisser to the pie stall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The news item on the official site shows a bit of the new synthetic track. While it is a tolerable match for Ann's coat it seems to clash with the maroon seats, even the new smart ones in the Roseburn front corners. The picture also seems to show that the linesmen (supposedly at risk from the state of the old surface) will be running up and down the same grass verge as they were before.

Cast No Shadow Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Despite the fact the image is called "Tynecastle Stadium 2007" It must have been very early in the year then because Hibs fans ripped off the fan banners on the sides of the Wheatfield at their League Cup Semi-Final did they not?

CJGJ Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 How it looks.. Some relaying of turf has taken place to help the linespersons and more importantly the track level has been raised to more or less match the grass area aiding the linespersons and players safety. The colour is not a deep maroon as per the strips and some of the newer seats but there may have to be a contrast otherwise the ball could get lost in the background at times. It helps the overall appearance of the ground and I presume it's the same all the way round the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps the overall appearance of the ground and I presume it's the same all the way round the pitch. Cue FA complaining. - Not same shade of maroon as strips. Thought that's what club said. But if it had been, FA complains while seats in stand ok, pitch side colour exact same as strips make it difficult to see players. Re new linesman running edging, note it only goes half way. Cue FA complaining it looks tacky and should have went full length of pitch. But if it had went full length he would have argued as linesman only runs one half way, it was unnecessary expense.
