tartofmidlothian Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Sorry if I've missed a thread on this. The big festival opening show this year will be at Tynecastle, which should mean a chunk of cash and a lot of international PR for the club. In the past it's been on St Andrew Square and outside the Usher Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I done the tour of Murrayfield a couple of weeks ago, they do a bit on the hybrid pitch and how the grass is killed off every close season and new grass is grown every summer, apparently creates a better pitch as well for allowing for concerts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. Looking at last year's calendar, this is either the day after a Europa game or the day before the first league game. Presumably we can ask them to give us our first league game away from home, or isn't there some rule where clubs can ask for just that weekend's game to be postponed?

I've seen the one on Lothian Road before, they set up during the day and take it down over night. It's not like they're building the Hogmanay stage and the audience will probably be in the stand.

Wonder if they will try sort the toilets in the new stand for good over the summer. Be interesting to see what happens with the other stands facilities and bogs, might get some funding to help do them up. This mean we're getting disco lights too?

Portable Badger Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Think it's a great coup for the club to stage this event and to showcase the club to visitors from around the world. The article mentions there will be boarding put down over the pitch for the attendees - it doesn't indicate how many of the stands will be used. The organiser mentions the key reason for using Tynecastle Park are the excellent facilities & amenities of the main stand. I hope to God this event fires the powers that be to complete the upper levels of the stand so we can have every possible lounge, bar and restaurant available to the prawn sandwich brigade to part with shed loads of their dosh !!!! We should also have refreshment tents (apparently there will be kids) on the plaza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
