Jeff Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Ps while I'm on the topic of paving, I think it would have been a fun idea to do a Hollywood walk of fame style thing with club legends engraved into marble heart shapes on a path leading up to the main stand. They could always get Zibbys hand prints set into the paving! Wouldn't put it passed him missing the concrete with his slap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Would be nice to have some sort of tribute to the guys who were killed or injured during the world wars that were associated with our club.

Sort of like a 'this wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you' sort of thing I believe the plaque from the old stand will be located in the new stand, we have the soldier statue and plenty of references in the museum. I'd say that's enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost feels like it's in a corner where it is just nowProbably because it is in a corner to be fair... It's fine where it is for me. We recognise and remember, it holds its place within our home. It really doesn't need to be plastered over everything we do going forward however. I'd much rather see a walk of fame or even statues in the plaza.

PhoenixHearts Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Agreed. It certainly would be better being in a more prominent position. I think it's okay where it is, standing over the memorial garden. Subtle and dignified, not too in your face. I wouldn't put it out front 1) because it's obviously more accessible to vandals out there, 2) although it should of course be remembered, what we are as a club should be defined by more than just what the statue represents. Also, having all of our unique features and memorials around the front main stand would condense things too much. I like that it's current location gives visitors more reason to explore the ground.

I'm sure we will get a new statue of Craig Levein up there in the future - celebrating his 30 years of being a Board Member, Director of Football, and Team Manager....... only in jest.

Agreed. Best to leave it where it is. As part of the Memorial Garden makes sense. People felt the club were hijacking the McCraes thing to the point it becomes a marketing object and devalues it significantly, bordering on being disrespectful. It was all becoming a bit crass and twee to plaster it everywhere. Like the idea of statues for former players or something to mark the significance of the 50s team though.

The Treasurer Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Would love a statue of the 'Terrible trio" up there - Conn, Bauld and Wardhaugh. There's a fantastic statue that was near Upton Park (I think it's being relocated to the Olympic Stadium) that commemorates when West Ham "won" the World Cup. Something along those lines would look great in front of our new stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The statue has to be of the man who kept us at Tynecastle and the woman who gave us the lovely new stand. Mr Romanov and Mrs Budge, hand in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather have the one of Robbo with his hand on his heart lifting the cup in '98. He was my hero growing up, I don't hero worship players any more (must be an age thing) so while Rudi is a legend, I don't get all misty eyed about him. Robbo for me every day of the week.

Agreed. Though it might have been good if there was some platform above the main doorway built, with the statue on the platform, guarding all things HMFC. It would mean the first things you seen when entering the new stand is our past, and present. Hopefully what you see on the park will be our future.
