How much income did the event actually generate for us and what is the likely profit from that? Until we know that it's hard to judge whether it was worth it or not. Say we made 20k off the 100k that folk are chucking about...I'd probably say it wasn't worth it. If your any sort of business and can promote yourself in a good light ,introduce new customers to your business offer, keep casual workers employed in a quiet period and make any profit at all Its a No Brainer Trust me I was there and it was worth it for the entertainment alone .many many people sat around us had never been in a football ground let alone tynecastle and there were no complaints whatsoever about the experience all potential new customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagan Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 One half of the pitch the ball is bobbling around the place according to Allan Preston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we know the financials of it it's impossible to tell really. My gut instinct is that the pitch will be perfectly playable today and the rest of the season but that aesthetically it won't fully recover and unless there's a significant financial benefit to offset that then maybe it wasn't worth doing. Which is a shame as I absolutely loved the idea of the performance and us hosting it. Did you Wembley last year when spurs played 7 days after a NFL game? The pitch was shocking. 7 days after that it was fine. It's not like the old pitch was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haringshairband Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Let's be honest, the pitch looks pretty terrible.

ecky92 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Absolute shocking decision. Spend 1 + million on a perfect playing surface for us to agree to a concert 5 days before a crucial game, aye Barry Ann budge. Any excuse for Craig’s to play the long ball game.

Justin Z Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I remember U2 having a concert at Sun Devil Stadium some 25 years ago and the Arizona State University head football coach being a little bit upset about it.
