Vlad the impaler Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yesterday through the foh and Garry,me and my wife attended a plot ceremony at tynecastle. I just want to take the time to acknowledge Garry and the work him and his family have done and are continuing to do for the love of our club. The Passion in the way he speaks about the club,us fans (or saviours as he put it) and saying were the club can go for future generations is really lump In the throat stuff. The day was fantastic,we had photos taken on the pitch,in the changing room,tunnel and had guest speakers who were our ceo Andrew Mckinley,Stuart Wallace and Walter Kidd. The best of the lot was Garry himself who gave the maroon version of a William Wallace speech. He should be very proud of what he’s done to secure our club for future generations and will be a big loss for his enthusiasm alone when he steps down next year. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Ps- was shocked to see Robbie’s tactics still on the board from the hibs game,photo enclosed🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 It was a great afternoon, hosted very well by Garry. It's always nice for me to be at such an event with my people, Hearts fans. Great to get onto the pitch and imagine what it's like for our players when the ground is rocking. We have a fantastic, proper, football ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Had a great time. Nice to get free reign in changing room and even on a bit of the pitch to see your plot. Saw the lad do the 5-1 on the board. It was originally FTH lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snedds76 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Was a fantastic day, with everyone one there made to feel special and Garry's speech was extremely emotional. I was the big child that arranged the magnets to say 5-1 but unfortunately can't upload my photos 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamanov Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It was a brilliant day on Sunday, well done to all involved in putting these days together. If you get an invite to attend your plot ceremony you need to go. Amazing being out on the pitch and getting access to the dugouts, changing rooms etc. The missus enjoyed it and we had a nice wee glass of champagne and a buffet lunch too.

bornajambo Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Was there yesterday, what a fabulous day. Garry spoke from the heart, what a great guy. Guest speakers were Robbie, Stuart Wallace, Bryan Jackson and a guy from Mortons equivalent to FOH. Bryan Jackson recalling how our wee neighbours tried to scupper the deal in Lithuania was just ridiculous, fecking hate them and hope they go through something similar.

tamanov Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 1000 points qualifies you to be invited to your plot ceremony. You get 1.5 points for every £1.00 you contribute. It is a fantastic day and I would highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagey Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I attended on Sunday for my plot ceremony and there were 14 tables of co-owners receiving their certificates- well done all. I feel like I totally lucked out this weekend as was at the game on Saturday and ceremony on Sunday where Bryan Jackson and Robbie were the guests. If Carlsberg did weekends.... But a particulate shout out to Stuart and Garry for all their dedication and hard work for the FOH- huge respect to these guys. Until my next trip over.
