Walter Bishop Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Why did we waste a crazy amount of money on a playing surface to never use it? Our opponents, most of whom actually try and play football, must love coming to Tynecastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBTHEBRUCE Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) That's a really daft question. Ann has done an amazing job off the park, We just need someone to match her on the park. Edited April 20, 2019 by BOBTHEBRUCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem, not the pitch. Blame the manager and his players, not the pitch. Would you rather go another year with Craig Levein, but use a tatty field in the hope that we might get a few more wins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
