On some photos it looks like the grass is pretty much done and then you see Bobby the B's post and it looks quite bare. I appreciate the sowing machine is still to do its thing in some areas but it does still look like a task to get it ready for the first game. I also love how no one can get a clear photo of the police box scaled back, its like a secret project with photos on long lenses or behind machines. Grass should grow comfortably enough in next 3 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alva-Jambo Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 It is SO dry, I assume it needs watered daily. We don't want to have our new grass die on us! I assume in future if needed, seed can be sown on any patch that occurs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydog Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Never understood the fascination with the seats. The main stand isn't even finished but people want faded seats replaced and get all raging whenever the see a photo. They'll just get smashed up by away fans anyway. Personally, if Hearts were to spend money on new seats because the existing ones were slightly faded I would suggest the money would have been better spent on the the team or on the academy.

A wee compromise then because the faded seats obviously irritate a fair few fans. Instead of replacing them at least move all the faded seats into one condensed grouping together. So you'll have a block of faded seats matching each and the decent non-faded seats making up the other sections. Far more uniform and tidy looking than the current scruffy look..

Really cracking photos there. If you zoom in on this shot, you can see the work going on for the TV studio at the top of the R-S stair.

That's the 3rd plaque my family has on there now, but the first time I've been. My Grandad was 93 when he passed, My first vague memory of Tynecastle is him and my Dad taking me and Jimmy Bone scoring. His last couple of years were miserable for him, he was blind, couldn't walk, needed help to wash and go to the toilet and missed my gran terribly who died a year before. The only time he seemed at peace was when he had his headphones on listening to the games. The chaplain spoke about how Hearts to some people is more than a team, It's what binds family's, friendships etc, and its true. Standing in the empty stadium looking so good really made me reflect on how far we've came and where we could have been. Totally got me energised for next season, canny wait!
