OTT Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 If we're genuinely looking for a serious answer, 'The Foundation of Hearts Stand' is the most appropriate choice, its not exactly 'jazzy' but it does the job. Fans poured money in to make this possible. There really isn't another option. The benefactors also contributed massively, but we don't know who all of them are and I don't think James Anderson would be massively comfortable with the stand being named after him, and Budge isn't going to name the stand after herself because.. I don't need to explain the optics of that (right? ). If a company had helped fund it we could have done that, but that option isn't open because it didn't happen. Beyond that, maybe talking club legends? Tommy Walker, Dave Mackay? Not sure it fits though. 'The Foundation of Hearts Stand' in similar lettering to 'Tynecastle Park' on the exterior of the main stand glass facade, however, I'd rather it was above the badge with 'Tynecastle Park' below it. Probably also worth noting its excellent advertising and some graphics could be added later down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he played twice as many games for Spurs, but given that Mackay made his love of Hearts clear throughout his life, including the ‘always Hearts’ quote, I think we’d be entirely justified in naming a stand after him.

Unknown user Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 On 14/08/2020 at 11:51, Libertarian said: I took my wife to the Skyline restaurant in December for the Aberdeen game and it was excellent. We accessed the restaurant from the ground floor by a lift. I'm not sure if there is an escalator in the building or if all the floors are complete but we did have a really enjoyable afternoon at the Skyline. My wife though drank enough champagne to sink the Titanic. I'm pretty sure the escalator did get installed, I think I saw photos. But I've never heard of anyone saying they've seen it on and working, I cant help wondering if there's something wrong with it, or is it maybe just that it goes up to the 2nd floor and there's nothing there yet?

Beast Boy Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I find it weird how some fans are down on the main stand. It’s so unbelievably better than anything else in Scotland outside of the OF, and in some ways better than theirs. In particular I find folk slagging the aesthetics of it really strange. Compare how it looks to Easter Road or Pittodrie? It’s in a different stratosphere. It compliments and completes the stadium nicely too. Looks compact and sturdy. It really is a fantastic stadium. When folk try and slag how it looks, I generally put it down to them being the sort of dimwits who stand in the boozer in the company of Hibs supporters all day. The sort who laugh along with them when they slag Hearts off, not realising it’s out of jealousy.

Beast Boy Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I mean, imagine this was what we had. Looks like a small industrial estate with four differently shaped units, all spaced oddly apart. In the first photo, they’ve even built what looks like a small block of flats at the side of it.

What they did will never be surpassed on or off the park and naming the stand in their honour would be an amazing gesture by this great club. Tacky. We’re a football club and it’s a stand for a football fans not a war memorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
