It’s not an invitation to get the measuring tape out but I’d wager I’m in the top 10% for longest, most frequent and most bloody expensive journeys to Tynecastle. If Hearts were to confirm it’s going ahead on Sunday at 10 I’d still make it, if they announced that it wouldn’t be going ahead at all then I’d do something else. You’ve got the day booked for the football, so even if other plans are missed due to it being called off at short notice it’s the same situation. You miss your other plans whether it’s on or off. It couldn’t have been much of an occasion missed if the football was a better option all along. The media have been on our backs big time, IMO, regarding this entire thing and I just don’t get it at all. We’ve built a 12 million pound (minimum) stand to add to Scottish football but the media and fans of other teams, that it doesn’t even effect, are calling it a disgrace and embarrassment? There are at least 8, maybe even 9 or 10, other teams in this league that won’t achieve what we have in the next 50 years but we’re the embarrassment? Get stuffed. Thank you for indulging my rant KB.

JamboECW Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Squirt your a super star, I am sure all will be well for Sunday's game. Went for a few beers at tea time and spoke to some Jambo and Hibby mates about this forum, all them that knew said the same thing. Trolls spoil for everybody, pathetic keyboard warriors that probably would say hew haw to your face. Sadly i have to agree as stopped commenting oh the local Edinburgh rags for the same reason. Thank you for the vast majority of good poster "OBAU" etc as now sure all will be ok I can revert to being boring and not tuning in.

JamboECW Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Sorry but the fire safety shouldn't be an issue compared to what has gone before. Also most of the areas of concern for fire safety issues are not yet in use. However Lothian and Borders (4 years gone) are no more and have been taken over by SFRS as it is now called so i am maybe wrong. 30 year fire Service with a large latter part spent in Fire Safety (when there was involved with carrying out many last minute final licensing inspections with Building control and other partners) Rant Over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
