Hungry hippo Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I thought the tunnel stayed where it was because we decided to retain the original concrete structure at the base or something like that.

Tynecastle is Hearts home and there’s no need for our home to be neutral. Are Hearts going to get an International, No, are Hearts going to get a semi-final, No and that’s because Hampden has it all sewed up.

Selkirkhmfc1874 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 2 minutes ago, R9. said: The mosaic isn’t anywhere near the existing tunnel moving the tunnel 3 yards or even less to be in line with the half way line wouldn’t be the problem. It’s the corner bit between main stand and roseburn access tunnel for tractors or those roll on lights for the pitch. If the tunnel was moved over the dug out would be moved over and the bottom section of the main ( N ) would be even smaller. Personally I wish it was all in line and seats right up against the floodlight. The could have made some sort of access on the wheat field side so it wasn’t on view when on tv. The second tunnel in the wheatfield is in line 😂 Could've been worse ! Aberdeen and Dundee and Dundee utd runners in corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejbh Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I think when the tv studio was put in they had to remove a row of seats in front. presume they will have to do the same if boxes going in, so further reducing capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartsofgold Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Well if the box rumour is tru then it'll greatly depend on how much they charge per season. We could lose 100 -120 seats so that 6 - 8 boxes have a decent view. These are (mostly) platinum seats so you could be looking at £50,000 - £60,000 of seat sales needing replaced. Simply maths says that those boxes would need to be marketed at about £10,000 to £15,000 per season to make them viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed they cleared out Lounges, but didn't know it was required. So, let's say it's a rainy match, Hearts don't even have the option to turn on the match on a television in the Lounges should paying hospitality ticket holders want to watch portions inside? Beyond that, if Tynecastle had private lounge boxes, could people move in and out throughout the match, should they choose? Can't say I've never paid attention to hospitality, but this caught my notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a really good idea actually. Key part of the community club pitch is being able to cater to all aspects of the community. Would back this 100% - if its not already being considered hopefully is something that gets filtered back to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
