The problem was Hearts Marketing assumed there would be a clear view of the castle and prematurely punted out press releases to that effect. 🤷♂️ But I am assuming the image of the view from the the Skyline restaurant was prepared by an architect rather than someone from Hearts marketing? If that is the case, either the building was not in accordance with the plans (which seems hard to believe to the extent of 12 feet) or whoever produced that image made quite a misjudgment in terms of what the view would look like.

As I stated in my previous post, even walking along the street as building was ongoing I could tell that the image that was released was not going to match up to the reality.

tynietigers Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 It is actually 2/3 meters shorter than it should have been due to not taking in to account that when you entered old Tynicastle you walked down to the pitch and the decline was a good couple of meters 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could tactical to get Hibs allocation cut 😂. Zero is the answer . The waiting list is what it is , people who want to be able to go along and watch Hearts play football at the weekend who currently do not have available seats to do so . A couple of bad results does not define Hearts or the support . We do not amass four thousand fans who get placed on a waiting list only for them to disappear because we lose a game vs Motherwell or Aberdeen . As much as gives wee Hibbies a stiffy to pretend as much it is not how we work . Hearts are growing and Hibs will fall further behind in the coming seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given most of your posts are about increasing the stadium size and that we have outgrown Tynecastle, this sudden news about even more people on the waiting list very much suits your narrative.

And yet we can’t sell out a cup tie v Celtic? Whilst increasing the capacity somehow may be on the agenda we need some years of this growth, I do wonder how many of the fans on the waiting list (let’s not go into the detail of numbers based on the some guy telt me argument) will melt away if we dropped down to fourth or fifth this season. Hearts cannot base a business model and put the whole club at risk and rebuild/relocate to increase the capacity by 4-5k on the back of 1-2 seasons of fan growth. It could be suicidal.

I don't want this to go down a pro's/cons of Robbie rabbit hole, but failing to sell out the cup tie against the bigots is basically just a sign that folk sort of know the writing is on the wall when they come to town at the moment and we don't have a team/manager that can compete. If this was the Delia years, I suspect we'd probably have given Celtic more of a game. This is an exceptionally strong Celtic team that is showing no signs of letting up. Folk likely looked at it and thought they'd rather spend their day elsewhere. Plenty families give these games wide berth too, as I don't think many parents fancy trying to explain the song book in 2023.... I think that is exceptionally cautious, and more a sign of looking for reasons not to, rather than accepting that thousands of fans want season tickets, and who knows how many more walk ups can't get tickets due to issues around capacity. I think growth is about momentum and seizing the opportunity to expand when we can. There is serious momentum behind the club at the moment, and I think its really important that is captured.

The clue is in the title (Celtic). I was there but to be honest, I'd already spent £500 on a ST and the thought of spending a further £30 to have to listen to songs about the IRA from a full School End... wasn't appealing. I can understand why some didn't. I prefer matches against non-arsecheek clubs. I know some parents who just won't take their kids to games involving the arsecheeks because the bigotry is disgusting.
