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. When I first read it I was hoping they'd be on the pitch at half time Shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all seems like a Budge vanity project to me. Ffs mate you are really tiresome in your constant belittling of everything going on at hearts. Would you you rather have none of this stuff going....the stuff that promotes the club, promotes the stadium, offers PR and marketing on an international stage. Lets bring pieman (we would have been at murrayfield with no stadium), or vlad (we would have been bust)...much better options than what we now have. Get a life you sad, boring individual.

SUTOL Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 It will be interesting to see how they set it up. Whether using the pitch or building a stage of sorts as part of one of the lower section of a stand. The website says 15,000 tickets, so maybe not using one of either the Roseburn or Gorgie stands for audience. The whole orchestra and other staff will need facilities for dressing, warm-up etc. Maybe the Gorgie suite could be adapted for that or spaces in the main stand. But you would hope some of the lounges would be available for the audience for drinks, meals etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scnorthedinburgh Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 There was a 700 head event at Tynie last night to launch this, so that would have brought in money already. Going by the people who popped into the pub afterwards they won't panic buying a drink at festival prices. Great way to show the club and ground off. Host this and you can show promoters what you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
