Absolutely no point what so ever to your post ..... Strange, strange individual 🙈 Actually, there was no point to your post. The club have stated quite clearly that the pitch is in perfectly good condition for playing football on, and simply doesn't look great. They actually stated that a couple of days ago, yet some complete and utter drama queens are still posting utter pish about how the whole situation is a disgrace, and let's face it, the only reason they (yourself included) are posting such utter pish is because they want to criticise the club's hierarchy and this situation (the pitch being a bit less green than usual) gives them an excuse to do so. Utter pish was a perfect summation of your earlier post and I couldn't really be arsed writing more at the time, but given that you're seem to have difficulty comprehending basic facts, I've elaborated a bit here. Hopefully, this will help you grasp exactly why your earlier post was indeed utter pish. Happy to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it though? Maybe a few days ago, but then Hearts released a statement saying that 1) the pitch is perfectly ok, and 2) said in that same statement that they'd discussed the concert in advance with the company that installed the pitch and been assured that the pitch would be fine which, as has been mentioned, it is! Given that the statement has been out for quite some time now, and referenced numerous times on this thread, I'd say it's actually now pretty unwarranted to be questioning it, and simply utter shitstirring to be making moronic claims about it being a disgrace, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboSpur Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 The first 3 sections from Roseburn end aren’t looking great apart from the Wheatfield/Roseburn corner and goalmouth. Heat lamps on every corner of pitch last night. Think the ‘damage’ is mostly visual however last thing it needs right now is a game of football on it. I fear it may rip up a bit on the ‘damaged’ areas. time will tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as the optimum time for grass growth is just before dawn, where it uses the carbs that it has stored from the sunlight it’s been exposed to during the day, then it will look even better right now, than when you saw it last night, It’ll also have another day of rain and sunlight, and dawn growing before the game on Saturday. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightbulb Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Was at A Game of Two Halves last night ( excellent and a must see for all jambos). Pitch was also a case of two halves and I must admit it doesn't look pretty at the moment. Beginning to green up again and will be back to it's beautiful best very soon.

It's a perfectly reasonable position to take, and the opposite is also true. Consider a party of the upwardly-mobile financial set from the Grange or Barnton, or some cultured Viennese tourists who take it upon themselves to attend a home match at Tynecastle out of some morbid curiosity. No matter how much buckfast they 'ironically' drink in White Park before the match (from plastic cups with pinkies extended), they'll never be council estate, pavement-dancing, PHM, with that inexplicable connection to their local football institution that is the traditional preserve of the working class.

This assertion that people are not allowed to level any questions or criticism at the club makes them a waste of time as fans is garbage. Anne Budge is in her own right a top business woman and in business at the top you make decisions and at least she has the bottle to stand by them right or wrong; strong minded hence why she is a millionaire. Not sure why you think you're opinion is above and better than anyone elses; can you answer that?
