That's certainly true for me and I was very up front about that a few pages back. I miss Edinburgh, Hearts and Tynecastle greatly. I think I've been critical as means to reducing this longing to be back to the time when I went every week and felt a huge connection to the club, the support and those I attended with. I hope one day soon I'll be able to experience that again and I think my affection for the new stand will grow exponentially.

reaths17 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 22 minutes ago, Bowmans_Boot said: I dont think it is as black and white as being in one of two camps: - Every single thing about the club is perfect, we love it all and would never dream of complaining about anything. - A boring whinger, who sees nothing positive and should just **** off and stop any financial support of the club. It is possible to have concerns and complaints but still love, and support the club. I dont think any fan, especially a FOH contributor should be told to "**** off". sod all in life is without its problems, you used to be able to go to the fitba and get away from it for an hour or 2 despite the club having its own problems. win lose or draw you went to support your team, had a good day out whatever the result but now if were not winning all you get is a barrage of moaning, 90 mins solid, nae jokes/stupidity flying around the shed even when we were pish, these days, nae ironic singing for a laugh, just a constant whinge. tynecastle really is a soulless place these days. the atmosphere of a day out at parliament with them all whinging at each other.

Seymour M Hersh Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 41 minutes ago, Mellor said: With the benefit of hindsight, would it have made more sense to have tried to negotiate a season-long deal with the SRU to play at Murrayfield, thereby allowing the main stand project to be fully completed in time for next season? It would have taken the heat off the club and avoided the need to keep delaying the opening. As things stand (excuse the pun), even if Sunday's game eventually gets the go-ahead the site will remain a work in progress for the rest of the season and I'm unclear how much income the club can actually generate when the corporate facilities are yet to open for business. I'm guessing, though, that the cost of such a move would have been prohibitive, even if some cash might have been recouped at Murrayfield from bigger crowds at the derbies and the games v Celtic and Rangers? Do you lot wish you'd been pumped in the set-final in 2012? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have been better for a public target date, say at the end of the month, or even the year,but privately agree with the builders incentives to beat that deadline. There may be such incentives in place, but the initial target date appears to be the issue. I understand the reasoning though, so we could take advantage of the excitement and anticipation and sell more season tickets, though I would have renewed anyway. Had we we done that, then the first statement, which was misleading at the time, about the delay would have not have been needed, and as a result, the second one clarifying the matter would not have been. In fact the first statement perhaps was not needed anyway, or a simple but short one would have sufficed, saying everyone is working very hard to get the stand ready at the earliest opportunity. That would also have meant no need for the second one, which I had the feeling resulted fro the builders and project team being uneasy with the first one.

In hindsight (isn't it a wonderful thing). Perhaps the best approach would've been to do this in two phases. Phase 1 being the stand itself then phase 2 being the office space and function rooms etc. Would of been less of a push and would of spread the cost out over 2 years as opposed to one.
