samcdonald22 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Quite funny how fans think alike, Spurs new stadium (around ?750million) a huge development and they are asking When are the seats going in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By the light Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 If we have to play in front of 3 stands then so be it. Just reduce away allocation to minimum and then offer main standers a refund for the value of the match or a free ticket to an away game. I'm in the main stand but wouldn't bother if I couldn't get in for a couple of games in the grand scheme of things. I do think it will be ready though. Get the seats in and if need be, rent a load of portaloos and get food vans on the plaza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Where did we play when the Wheatfield etc were getting built? Tynecastle. For most games three stands were more than enough back then. The photos of the Wheatfield under construction are a reminder that in the transformation of Tynecastle, the Wheatfield was a much bigger deal, from inside the ground at least, than the new main stand, although it attracted only a tiny fraction of the interest (obsession?) the latter is getting.

Montgomery Brewster Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 For info we opened the wheatfield stand against the vermin on 27/8/94 This was 4 weeks after the last picture shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboeh21 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Personally I would rather play at Murrayfield until Tynecastle is completed and have our first home match with a opening ceremony and make a big fuss and celebration. The Hearts management team are doing a fantastic job and should be praised not trolled by some on here. Tynie is going to be a fantastic stadium when complete and our home well into the future. It has taken since 1874 to reach this next chapter in our history, so a few more months to wait for the completed stand is not too much to ask.

luckydug Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 About 4 weeks before the original target date I commented on here how impressive the stand was but no way will it be ready, I was ridiculed and the usual obviously a hobo posts followed. Well I'm still impressed but can't see it being ready for this target too. I'm inclined to believe there is some truth in the rumours, hope I'm wrong tho as I'm still not a hobo TBF nearly all your posts are a tad on the negative side. I'm not accusing you of being Hibs or trolling or anything like that but you do seem to be pessimistic perhaps a result of supporting Hearts always expect the worst.

I would say more a realist than a pessimist, it was clear the stand wasn't going to be ready, and as I said, I hope I'm wrong this time. Your right I've supported hearts long enough to know not everything goes to plan, but I'm definitely not a hobo ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidthebaw Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) It seems highly unlikely that it would be played outside of Edinburgh. I would imagine there are 2-3 options outside of the stand being ready we would explore before this. My flights to Edinburgh are booked, and I'm fully confident i will be using them. Almondvale over ER any day. Don't care about drop in attendance, ( i get club needs money im just saying my preference lol). We'll be close to the pitch and make it like a mini tynie lol!!!!

Unless there's another fiasco along the lines of the seat ordering, I'm struggling to see how they won't be able to get the stand in a fit state to hold a few thousand spectators by the first weekend in November!
