Cade Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 We averaged a home attendance of 17,553 for league games this season just gone. We also had a record-breaking turnover. Folk are mumping about converting some seats that were already empty and using them to generate even more money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scum. It will cost them a fortune in damages to pay for our cost to repaint any damage - good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotelMikeFoxtrotCharlie Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 For the money spent on the stand you would be wishing for a bigger attendance along with alot of other things we were told we would be getting during the planning stage. I am a big fan of how it looks inside but I think the external look leaves alot to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this would be possible, but could seats be put back on a hydraulic system (similar to those at the Gorgie Road end) that allows the wheatfield to tunnel to be used for non first team games in the future.

Mr Brightside Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Just now, davemclaren said: Not sure why we need two tunnels. Reserves, youths, female, Scotland youth teams could use the Wheatfield changing rooms and tunnel to access the pitch. Would mean the first team changing room could be kept solely for the first team. Not a must have but as we have the tunnel and changing in the Wheatfield already, it could be a useful option for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Detachable seats on a frame in place, similar to the Gorgie ramp ones but lift off completely to expose the tunnel when needed, get 30 seats back (top is where a TV camera has always been) Edited June 26, 2019 by kila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnking123 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'm sure the seats at the back were meant to look like that in the original drawing. But changed when the sky lounge was not ready.

Pans Jambo Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The changing rooms and the tunnel etc in the Wheatfield were build at considerable expanse to the club. Anyone thinking we will somehow close it up and re-seat that area are (IMO) dreaming. I am sure AB said that the changing rooms would eventually be used for the ladies teams playing at Tynecastle and community groups training on the field behind the Wheatfield etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct ,,, 25k capacity, to use for other stuff out with hearts games,to make more money,,,19,700 too small for a club like hearts ,were a a lot bigger and better than that ,,,,also bigger capacity ,,people can pay on walk up rather than have to book tickets etc,,less hassle more cash ???

Kiwidoug Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 If something like £5m comes in for Souttar, this will ge a real boost. Does anyone know what the plans are for the massive 2nd floor? Pretty sure the last statement from AB a few weeks ago said they were still thinking about it. Big conference centre I would have thought but I've got no idea really.
