Of course the club would need to find a replacement for Levein or anyone else who wasn't doing their job. I asked Mitch, who is very vocal about wanting Levein out, who he would replace him with. So far he's failed to answer that simple question And will never be able too,just Hypercritical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have similar levels of success but taking out your frustration one one guy for 50 odd years of underachieving is hardly rational. Halcyon days ......what are you on. We were very good but it wasn't built on and because of mismanagement by Directors who hadn't a clue Hearts went through years of playing before average gates that nearly bankrupted the club.

The Treasurer knows exactly how these things work. Although I doubt Hearts have "pencilled in" who will be the next manager, I'm sure, just like the clubs you've mentioned, they are keeping tabs on who is doing well on similar or smaller budgets that would be available at Tynecastle.

A police box which is being removed!!! It's not being removed as such, it is being reduced in size to give better viewing to those in the seats at the extreme end of the stand. Basically every cable within Tynecastle filters out from an area within the box , a box which is also used by the police, and removing the box completely would mean a massive relocation (and additional costs) of all the cabling which at the moment makes Tynecastle function.

David McCaig Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I know the box is being scaled back to go flush with the pylons and I'm glad that's it's staying... Ideally I'd like to see it mirrored at the Roseburn end. But the points remains that a large number of previously unsold seats have become available.

Apologies if I came across in the wrong way, wasn't intended. If the potential area you are talking about in terms of relocation of the singing group is up towards the back of that section of the main stand it seems a reasonable option, if they are happy to be located there. I wouldn't imagine there will be a general rush from individuals to purchase those seats anyway. And if the total number being talked about is around 200 (I think I read somewhere on here the predicted numbers were around 200, although only 69 had taken up tickets so far) and they want to be at all home games (i.e. not restricted to Cat B games) then why not.

Cost would possibly be a factor in that scenario, imo. Bronze to Gold is £75 difference. Also, stuck up in that corner wouldn't lend itself to increasing noise levels. Section G is a good case in point. Some games its hard to hear the boys up there depending on where you are in the stadium. As I say, Lower Z would have been perfect but as i'm not privvy to any discussions that took place, It's only guesswork as to why it's in Lower H.

I would imagine if they were located in a bronze area and wanted to go to all the matches it would involve buying match tickets for the non category B games. If they were actually put in an area where all games are on their ST's the additional up front cost would offset the cost of additional match tickets. The way Tynecastle's stands are designed should push any noise created down on to the park, so being towards the back of a stand shouldn't have any sort of adverse impact, but I'm no expert on such things. It will be predominantly younger people in the group I'd imagine and possibly more inclined to stand rather than sit. So locating them towards the back of section probably makes more sense as that way they wouldn't be impacting on others who want to sit and watch the game.
