Which is odd, because I'd imagine you're used to getting the utter ***** ripped out of you by now. You'll cut about crying about personal abuse, when it's not personal abuse when it's a perfectly valid observation of your personality. You were definitely the kid at school that used to tell on people for chewing gum. Without question. You've probably got the Hearts shop-a-fan number saved in your favourites, just in case someone slags the Main Stand facade. Jeez you’ve got some weird imagination to come up with that shit! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 1 hour ago, FarmerTweedy said: It wasn't silly at all. The last time we returfed the pitch, it cost about £100k and was in a poor state within about 2 or 3 months, because the substructure below the turf was in a horrendous state - some of the drainage had apparently collapsed in and the 'soil' had become so compacted over many years that it had turned almost like concrete, meaning that new turf couldn't grow proper roots and get any stability. It could be legitimately argued that it might have been better to save some money by not going for the hybrid option, but the bulk of the work, including all the drainage, undersoil heating, subsoil renewal, etc, was absolutely essential. Without that, we'd have been returfing the pitch two or three times every season and still moaning about the state of it about 99% of the time. That is not how I remember the pitch after it was returfed. There are also ways to remedy compaction without removing the soil, changing drainage etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I forget the exact timelines. But I think that the Cathro pitch relay was in February March 2017. So that was reported as £100k or so. I don't think there was another relay before this where the park was in far far better state than currently. So perhaps 10 turf relays over several years versus spending £1m on a non-revenue generating asset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 4 hours ago, Cruickshank for Scotland said: Not sure what point you were trying to make by going public on a PM but fine by me. Firstly I do not give out my private number on a fans forum to somebody I don’t know from Adam. Secondly I told you I wasn’t going to the game on Wednesday, but if I was it was pretty impractical to “shout you over” in a crowd of 17,000 from my seat higher up in the Wheatfield - not to mention the fact I didn’t know who to shout over! I would also suggest you would be pretty busy trying to get the pitch issues sorted. Now you have gone public you told me you wouldn’t go in writing on a PM with the real reason for the pitch deterioration as this would get you in trouble. That was also fine by me, but it suggested the problem may not be down to your maintenance and the Club are keeping stume on the real reason. As I have stated on here if the horrendous state of the pitch is not down to our Groundsmen you have my unreserved apology. Honestly are you feeling OK ?

No you’re right I had a heart attack and two stents fitted a couple of weeks before Levein did. As you may be aware I was against Levein getting involved again at Tynecastle from the start and said at the time it would not end well. Some on here took great exception to that and took the opportunity to have a pop at every turn - they still do, so I make no apology in replying to them in kind.

Like most sports people who get to the level he has or higher to be fair. When things go well that arriogance is seen as a positive, for example when Levein was a supreme defender. When it goes wrong like it did for Levein recently, you can't suddenly lose that part of you that helped get you to the level he got to - international as manager and player. You have to continue to have self-belief. The problem is that arrogance then looks completely unfounded when things are not going right.

Paolo Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 If Hearts do know want the issue is, I am not sure why they don’t disclose it, unless it is an internal **** up. Even then, given we donate so much to the club, we should know. And given shareholders own part of the club, they should too. Even the averse fan probably should too. I suppose, being cryptic, and closed, is better than lying though, like we did when we blamed the delay on the stand on bad weather, rather than fess up and say we ballsed up the seat order.
