Dunks Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 27 minutes ago, davemclaren said: What are folks thought on any future development? The only areas we have left that can be developed imo are the Roseburn stand undercroft and Gerard’s yard, once the temporary nursery closes. There's still a fair bit unused space under the Wheatfield (Gorgie end) and once the shop/TO move, a big space down there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we are not short of space that could potentially be used to generate income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 3 hours ago, Dunks said: Could the new nursery be used for this purpose over the weekend? Not really. A playbarn and a nursery are complimentary though. Playbarn usually cater more for 4-9 year olds, and their fixed equipment + cafe make nursery use difficult. I have seen them installed very successfully in leisure centres which are basically just barns/ hangers One you have them in they are decent earners and having the schools and nursery nearby gives a natural catchment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought oor Ann said that Hearts would consider a large supporters bar under the Wheatfield once the ticket office, club store and the temporary offices had relocated to the new main stand?

kila Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/5863 From Aug 2017: "We have added a final step in the Wheatfield Stand development namely to develop the remaining space under the south end of the stand into improved storage facilities to meet the expanding needs of the business, along with essential parking for office staff and match day operations staff. This is now well-underway and should be completed by May." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Lambretta Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 The view for disabled fans is by far the best in the league and possibly one of the best in the uk. Certainly beats sitting in a shed at the likes of Motherwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Used to sit in Section B in the Wheatfield for over ten years. If you wanted something to eat and drink and to use the toilet, you had to leave your seat about ten minutes before the half time whistle went. Then you wouldn’t get back to your seat before kickoff again. Now sit in Section R of the new stand. I can now wait until the halftime whistle blows, mosey down to the kiosks get served, eat, use the toilet and then be back in my seat five minutes before Kickoff. So that works a lot a better. ?

Good because i was in the new main stand for the first game then a few weeks later and the queue for the toilets were a joke although the food queue wasn't that bad. Glad to hear its better.

Morph Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Anybody know how expensive it is to get something similar to murrayfields big banner, like the iconic one at emirates? The new facilities are cracking, but even discounting the fact the windows aren’t the greatest (not trying to dig up old news here) it just feels a bit bare. Obviously the view from hospitality is important but we could get a mesh that lets you see through one way but not the other. Would be nice to have something on the stand that is unique for a couple seasons that could be changed if we wanted.
