OBE Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 41 minutes ago, CMc said: Ahh, got you. Still not not sure it would be profitable. Getting horsed off Celtic would not be a big draw. Given recent performances against Hibs, we’d not be getting the Hampden part timers out. Also, the Autumn internationals at Murrayfield are the day before Partick and the day of Ross County. No chance they can be played at MF. Yes, Hibs & all the other teams in the premiership, all know we're dire, frightened and vulnerable. I can count on one hand how many clear cut chances we created in the last 180 minutes of hoofball. I'll continue to cherry pick my attendances, even though the fruit is bad. Part timer? Yes, why not? I part with my cash and expect to be entertained. What I witnessed at the Road & Murrayfield was not entertainment, in fact, HMFC should be hauled in front of the trading standards commission. Professional footballers? Dream on, a few ain't even fit, blatantly lacking the most basic requirement. Billy Davies made a point, complete overhaul at Tynecastle required, he may be right. Our home (Tynecastle Park) will be inspiring when complete, seething the current squad is not. Regular, full time Jambo's, I admire you!

I am getting really fed up with Murrayfield as it is and the thought of even more games makes me want to go on holiday until the long saga of the new stand finally ends. For all that it's a exceptionally long and detailed statement, Ann Budge's update on progress is noticeably lacking any indication as to when the club actually hope to have the stand ready ('soon' is the closest date given). If Murrayfield really is going to be required for even longer then I can only imagine the games involved would have to be moved to midweek. As somebody else has posted it seems unlikely they'd be played on the same weekends as the autumn Scotland rugby internationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were taking Murrayfield by storm it wouldn't be so bad I suppose and the delay wouldn't be noticed quite so much. I just want to be watching us playing at our proper home as quickly as possible so we can start to play as a Hearts team should using our ground as the fortress it should be.

I think there is nothing wrong with criticism indeed have e mailed the club about something that I was not happy about. There are some though who seem to have nothing good to say about the club. They seem to revel in any setbacks rushing to post negative comments about the club and the players. If they could be as vociferous in supporting the team at the games we wouldn't be having threads about the dreadful atmosphere at matches. Some folk will never be happy as they are entitled to their opinion it's a kind of therapy for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really have to do something about the team though. Even Mrs Budge must be having doubts about that side of the club. Perhaps we will have to wait until FOH subscriptions start to drop before the penny will drop. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTBCAL Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I thought I posted this yesterday but it seems not. When I was helping out with the Big Flag yesterday the SRU security guy said that he didn't think that we could play the Partick at MF and it will have to be at Tynie regardless. He suggested it was impossible for the game to be played at MF due to more commitments other than the Autumn internationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a lovely picture of Gambo with his arm around Craig Levein a wee while back and it was smiles all round. Don't know the guy personally but have seen him around ( just going by the famous photo with CL). His trouble is that most people know his position regarding CL and therefor tend to file his comments as a predictable mantra. The same could be said of the poster known as FA his hostility to FOH and AB is well known and most people tend to flick through his posts quickly. This means that good posts get lost in the reputations of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That comment is typical of the modern day want it now attitude. Have a bit of patience ffs This. Regardless of the poor state of the playing squad the club have moved heaven and earth to get to where we are with the main stand. People who complain about the time it is taking have absolutely no clue of the programming nightmares a construction project faces. Now we are into the colder months there could be more delays but I feel we are sufficiently far enough down the road with the external work that this should be minimal. To be where we are is testamount to some excellent team work by the club, design team and construction team. Maybe everyone just needs to be thankful for what we are getting and be grateful there is a club still here to support, an alternative venue a stones throw away and that it won’t be forever!
