A good friend of mine who was instrumental in getting the FOH off the ground had plans in his office to flatten the existing stands (this was before the new stand was built) and turn the pitch from North/south to east/west and on the existing footprint build (by his calculations) a 40,000 capacity stadium funded by the FOH.

I don't disagree but it's my bit on here to point out that because of planning constraints, expanding by even one seat right now is very expensive. It doesn't become cost effective until we add 6-8k seats at least, and with inflation and labor costs high and the potential for an economic downturn in the UK very strong, it's an insane time to try to expand. The club just doesn't have that kind of money at the moment. We can wring our hands about it and moan that we're leaving money on the table, but we quite simply cannot expand Tynecastle at the moment with our present resources.

chrisyboy7 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Currently Tyncastle can only hold around 19k due to segregation apart from the hibs games..approk 19.8k currently we need around 22/23k.....Yip a few k short...... At the current rate of growth this could increase to around 25k in the next 5 years.....But it can't........too small eh....

Now before i get panned from the usual on here...you just need to look at the sales in the last few years. They are growing. Even in tough times as these are, they are still growing....it's crazy but fact! The club has also kept the prices low which has helped grow the sales in season tickets which are currently at a record 15.7k approx. This may well have exceeded to 16-17k......but we don't have the seats....Yet! Fabulous position for the club to be in and all possible due to our brilliant support.....

Not quite. The old main stand had stopped producing any revenue to speak of because the annual maintenance on it was so high that it basically ate any proceeds from it. What spurred action was the renovation of the nursery, giving us a chance to acquire that land and build if we included the nursery in our main stand. However, the limit on stadium size was and is the COMAH regulations regarding the ethanol tanks at NBDC. Even if we flattened everything, rotated the pitch, dug a hole in the ground, and did a jig, we would still end up with a stadium with a maximum capacity of exactly where it is now. We built every single seat we were allowed under planning. NBDC has repeatedly expressed willingness over the years to move the ethanol provided we helped pay for the cost of solving the problem. It has yet to be worth it to us to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need other ways to bridge the gap and capitalizing on the ticket demand seems to be pretty sensible , albeit is going to take a massive investment in the first instance. I think the best option would be relocation of the stadium in due course , own the land and dictate what you build to increase the revenue, never know maybe Shankland will be worth 80m by the end of the season and and we can get the applications for planning permission in.

Yes, we are leaving revenue on the table, but not enough to justify the cost of expansion. If we find some regular success in Europe, I expect in 5-10 years, hopefully when construction costs are less volatile and the economic outlook is less chaotic, the case will become more compelling. For instance, if we catch lightning in a bottle, finish second, and make it through the CL qualifiers to the group stage, we'll have the cash and the business case to expand to 30k without a problem. There's less fanciful ways similar could happen for us as well. We also went from contending for the league to bust in a very short space of time. We should take care not to do that again.

Some money recouped from selling on the land in Gorgie. Given we have just built the main stand it's clearly not on the agenda for another 15 or 20 years at least but I'm not even convinced we have the space to bump Tynie into the 30k range. You can't do anything to the Gorgie or Main Stand, Wheatfield could in theory be totally rebuilt, not sure there such behind that to restrict it, it would have to double in size at least.

I would be shocked if there weren't members of the board or of the executive team who didn't keep a side glance on these issues as we go. The big advantage we have is that NBDC are both the source of the primary planning constraint and the owner of most of the land we'd need to execute an expansion. As for formal planning approval, you can't get that until you have at least rough plans in hand, and that doesn't make any sense to do until you know when you're going to be building. The other side of this is that with the whisky industry in a strong position, NBDC aren't sitting still. They're investing in their physical plant and don't plan to stop just because we might want to do something in the future. Nor should they—they're a very large, employee-owned business providing solid, steady jobs in a wobbly economy, and I wish them all success provided it doesn't hamstring us. The wild card in this is if planning approval for the school housing bit falls through because of ethanol issues. With the right developer, there's probably quite a bit of money to be made in putting together the school, NBDC, and stadium properties and coming up with a master plan for the whole thing on the scale of a £250-350m housing and hotel development that transforms the area and includes new Wheatfield and Roseburn stands. But that would be an enormous lift in terms of coordination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a challenge but we have went from bust to a new stand etc in a very short space of time....We are Hearts and everything is possible. If for example we could invest in increasing the capacity at Tynecastle to around 25,000. We could potentially be selling 18,000 season tickets. This would increase revenue by around £900,000 + bigger travelling support and walk ups, Hearts could be looking at a conservative estimate of increasing income by around £1.3m per-season.

heartsfc_fan Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Can someone clarify, in the late 1980s when we got high 20k's for some league games against Hibs and the Old Firm. How many away fans attended roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many away fans attended roughly? Remember in 2017 while playing at Murray field a poor Hearts side had around 26,000 against Aberdeen and 36,000 against Rangers. I know that there were large away supports at both games but the home crowd was in excess of 20,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
