We knew this when we installed Yes I knew there was scope to upgrade if and when required but I'm sure when they were installed it was stated that they were uefa compliant.

Hearts of Vladland Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 From the photos the new floodlights have already been added, I don’t think it was as many as that up last season.

Assuming there are two screens … I’ve only seen screens being effective when they are positioned behind the goals. Doing that ensures all can see.

You'd probably need a few dedicated employees to cover PTing and maybe some classes (perhaps we have some posters with experience of that?), but PureGym entry etc. is all automated etc which reduces all of that. I'm sure with Budges background in IT finding a company to set up an automated membership system where you punch in a code and that opens the door or scans a card etc. would be easily achievable. Think the club benefited big time from bringing the club shop in house, so would imagine similar logic would follow if we were to go down that road. I really do think it has legs, but space is the real issue. If we're ever in a position to redevelop the Wheatfield and can radically increase its size (double?) then the space under the stand could probably hold it. My thinking is that if we want to grow further, with the limitations we have things like a hotel, restaurant and gym all kinda line up together and would allow us to turn more areas of the stadium into profit centres. I know turnover doesn't = profit, but if we could garner a couple thousand members at £20 a month it wouldn't be too hard to reach that. Appreciate further stadium develop is hampered with health and safety (distillery) but as @Led Tasso has highlighted earlier on, its not an insurmountable issue, it would just cost a fair whack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During lockdown some of us had to provide info to Laurie so he could go into meetings with our partners for Hearts tv so he could call out issues and have the technical info/questions to ask. I have little faith in the snr management at the club when it comes to technology platforms. Our technology refresh is moving in the right direction now with Dell providing infrastructure. There is still a lot missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Incredible reading the last 2 pages. The fact there are still people unsure where the screens are going despite renders of them being posted and images of the scaffolding being shared makes me very happy The FOH isn't in full control of the club.
