I've sat in the Wheatfield since it was built my friend. I want to see us improve and compete. I won't accept failure and mediocrity willingly. If criticism is required then I will offer it. I don't boo or shout abuse at games. I try to be constructive and have real concern about our direction on the pitch at present. We all express it in different ways I guess. Think what you like about me - put me on ignore like others have boldly proclaimed elsewhere today. But be assured I'm a Hearts fan through and through I do find it intriguing that I can be addressed on here in a manner which would be wholly unacceptable for other posters Strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Fair enough Spencer but people like you and I8 seem to revel in negativity. No surprise that I8 starts a thread today about Hearts being top of the ill discipline league. We have to be realists and everyone knows our performances on the park have been largely dire for 2 years now but just moaning and being negative is depressing.

Cutting back police box at gorgie end will make it better but check our view in section N on main stand thread. Last 2 rows should be a lot cheaper imo.

Section G The Place To Be Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I thought 17,000 on Sunday wasn’t too bad considering the absolute dross we’re having to endure at the moment, considering CL is still in charge and more importantly considering the uncertainty right up until the night before even. I reckon we’re the only club outside the bigot sisters that have the loyal fan base to pull in those numbers under all those circumstances. Ive no doubt whatsoever had the wee team or Aberdeen been in our situation they would have been doing well to break 10k at a game against the same opposition.

rudeskaboyuk Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Please excuse me if this has been answered already, but why would we be leaving the temp tunnel in place permanently with the potential loss of around 24 premium view seats when we have issues with some of the seats in the new stand having a somewhat restricted view?

Bury my head in the sand? This team that Craig built is not fit for purpose kiwidoug. I really struggle to find any positives about these players and the gutless team they are. I will simply not come on here and get excited about shiney stands and LGBT coloured laces as this is football ffs. The bottom line is winning and not only are Levein's losers failing in that they are failing to even compete. You can sit and happy clap, I respect your right to do so but I live in the real world and our club from a football point of view stinks and stinks real bad.

scott herbertson Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 3 hours ago, jambo-fletch said: So no one actually knows yet? The capaciry stated in the planning application was 20099 I think. However it depends what you mean by capacity. To give you an example AFC Wimbledon had 6000 seats in their ground when they were in the conference . Had the not done ground improvements to create separate exit and entry for away fans through opening up a side path, then the maximum thetpy would have been allowed to sell would have been 4,800. there is no such thing as ‘official capacity’ as far as I am aware. The clubs are effectively permitted to sell the number of seats deemed safe to sit in through the granting of safety certificates. That number will vary depending on whether it’s category A , B whether the control is still there. We also won’t sell a number of seats because of visiting guests (including pipe bands etc) and press etc. So the number of seats sold will be different from the number of seats actually there.
