Deans Jambo Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 On 23/01/2018 at 18:00, Dannie Boy said: Foundation Day Dear Pledger We are delighted that this Saturday (27 January) will be designated as Foundation Day at Tynecastle, with a series of activities to mark the amazing contribution Hearts fans have made to save our club. The contribution from Foundation pledgers to the club now stands at more than £6.5 million, with £2.5 million of that going to the Tynecastle redevelopment work. This is a quite stunning achievement – and it won’t stop there. One of the most significant events on the day will be the official opening of the Foundation Plaza, the impressive new space behind the main stand. We’ll have a pipe band playing and Hearts legend Donald Ford, one of the original FoH visionaries, will be cutting the ribbon. This ceremony will take place at 1.30pm, and following that - at around 1.45pm on the Plaza - we are inviting you to come to take part in a group photo of supporters, with scarves held high to celebrate the Plaza opening. We especially encourage those who have purchased their personalised Foundation scarves to bring these along for the photo. Please do come along to that historic occasion if you can. Other activity will see a series of Pledge Stations around the stadium before the match where fans can find out how to pledge for the first time, reactivate old pledges, increase pledges, or make a one-off donation. The players will be warming up in special FoH T-shirts, Foundation Day clappers will be on all the seats, and Bryan Jackson, who played such a key role as administrator when the club was close to extinction, will be a guest of honour and will be interviewed on the pitch at half-time. Increasingly, as we move closer to fan ownership, there is widespread recognition that FoH is here for the long term – by the fans, for the fans, for Heart of Midlothian. You have played a momentous part in this movement and Foundation Day has been created to thank you. I hope you can come along and enjoy your day. With best wishes Stuart WallaceChairFoundation of Hearts I reckon a separate thread for this would be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be all that's needed. In N I think it’s only the last seat in the row. We stood(my bad) in that part on Sunday and could see the goal fine, from the last seat on the row you can’t see the goal. Not or sure if it’s worse at the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 It's going to take a long time until it's all finished. I was looking at that retail space beside on the ground floor, left beside the Gorgie stand yesterday and it's huge. Between the Main, Gorgie and Wheatfield stands we surely have enough "space" now? More than enough maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The HMSA dinner was held in Lounge 2 on Thursday night. The area was very functional and everything worked fine but could do with some pictures and stuff to make it a bit more welcoming and less ‘spartan’. I believe the current ‘numbered’ lounges will be renamed at some point and appropriately themed stuff then added so that will be better.

Next time you see him, ask if the club will be putting more bins on the concourse, the place was minging with empty cups, sauce sachets and tea bags before the game. Minor gripe I know but still.
