Carter Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I think both Edinburgh clubs are spot on to allow each club full away stand. It's part of the atmosphere and tradition. 7,000 on ST waiting list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really have 7000 on a waiting list then we have to be looking at how we increase capacity. Those additional fans would take us to another level completely. I'm not sure why he'd lie, but I find that pretty unbelievable. We should be looking to increase capacity to about 25-30k if so but it'd probably cost about 100m or something if its even feasible.

One things for sure we should be doing a feasibility assessment because current capacity is prohibitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think getting up to near 25k is realistic and about right fanbase wise. Ive zero clue about physical feasibility, let alone financial Could perhaps be cheaper to redo Wheatfield as could be more basic than Main Stand (ie no need for the corporate facilities etc). But then materials have skyrocketed sonce then too, i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendoll Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Any stadium expansion is fine if you grease the right palms. Cost is the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts1975 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Doing a good job imo .... Getting on with things in the background and making sure the budget is there to finalise some of these signings Backing the management team, ultimately, and hopefully this season a new exciting brand of football is on the cards All credit to AB. Since the Levein era her board appointments, in my view, have been extremely well thought out. A mix of characters which seem to excel in various fields but a collective ambition and determination to get us moving in the right direction. Genuinely optimistic moving forward.🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Expanding would be fantastic but feasibility wise unless we are building a new Wheatfield Stand I can’t see it happening. They won’t spend millions to just give a small increase, would need to be a game changer. The Wheatfield is the only one not land locked but comes with the complications of the distillery.

And do we want to pay that or pay to improve the squad at this moment in time to remain competitive and keep up the interest of fans on a waiting list.
