Beats Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 This is excellent news. I had heard similar but that we would have to play away from Tynecastle, probably Easter Road for the first few months. Possibly until the second round of fixtures are complete. Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Loblaw Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 This is excellent news. I had heard similar but that we would have to play away from Tynecastle, probably Easter Road for the first few months. Possibly until the second round of fixtures are complete. I'd heard this too, last few games of this season and the first couple of next away from Tynie while work goes on over the summer. Wasn't sure how accurate it was, but obviously I'm not the only one to have heard something similar. I'd heard Murrayfield was more likely than Easter Road though. Link to post Share on other sites

Fxxx the SPFL Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I was in the offices at Tynecastle this morning donating a couple of items for the museum, I was taken into a room full of volunteers helping to catalogue/view all potential items. When I mentioned about hopefully remaining at Tynecastle with all that's going on Museum, Memorial Garden, Statue etc I was met with a stony silence and a few wry smiles. Davy Allan aka London Hearts was present so hopefully an official announcement tomorrow re the new QATAR AIRLINES STAND sorry stand. Link to post Share on other sites
First48 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 By no means an expert on these things but is 5 months a realistic timescale to get full planning application approved? The council took 3 months to approve a building warrant for my garage conversion. Might be that the club has been consulting with the council pre submission of the application which may speed up the process but there will still be neighbour consultation/objections to deal with which makes me thing that a summer commencement of the works is tight and leaves to club very little wriggle room. Not trying to pour water on the OP and I would be delighted if it is true just genuinely asking the question. Link to post Share on other sites

If anything is announced at the agm, lets hope drawings come with it, would be amazing to see what has been planned I echo that. Also if the rumour is true it suggests that either they have the funding in place or confident they can secure it quickly. Link to post Share on other sites

rabthejambo Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think a lot of Hearts fans are jumping the gun here. The notion that as of tomorrows AGM we will be announcing the demolition of the Main Stand and confirmation that a new stand will be built and ready for use part way into the beginning of next season seems to me to be quite frankly a lot of absolute nonsense. I would be very happy to be proven wrong but I don't think I will be. Much more likely is the announcement of some quite detailed plans and the associated costs, alongside some carefully thought out funding mechanisms to be debated within the FoH/wider support. Which by the way would be a MAJOR announcement in itself, just not quite the seismic one a few are hoping for. Link to post Share on other sites
