Hashimoto Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Can someone explain why supporters who sit at the top of the new stand (section Q) still cannot use the back stairs to access your seat, or leave the stadium at FT? Corporate guests are allowed to use this access route, however the steward guarding the door told a number of us that we have to use the steps down to the pitch, and that access is denied! Quiet a few of us p*ssed off that the elite few can get in and out of the ground without hassle....Especially as there is a perfectly available and safe access route.

Please note that I've written to Hearts on the matter...... Typical example of regular supporters getting second hand treatment Is it though? Or is it an example of those who have paid that bit extra getting a better/improved service or set of provisions than those who havent. That is something that happens in thousands if everyday situations. What other "typical examples" have you got? 4 minutes ago, Hashimoto said: What about the £500 I "forked" out? Im presuming that 500 refers to your ST. For that you get a better seat/view than someone who paid less but the equivilant to someone who also paid 500. You also get to use the same facilities as everyone else who hasn't paid extra. Edited August 11, 2019 by been here before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go again! 😏 Firstly the glass facade WAS built on budget and to the programme - what followed caused the cost increases and delay. Secondly the Architects “concept computer image” should never have been released by the Club to the public as that type of facade design was incredibly expensive to build not to mention impractical in terms of meeting the building regs.
