What is it with you Hearts fans?! You're starting to come across like Rangers fans lately. You've come from administration to battering Hibs and Rangers in the Championship and then finished 3rd in the Premiership and still some of you wanted rid of Neilson. You have a chairperson in Ann Budge who is a breath of fresh air for Scottish football, a new stand going up, some excellent youth prospects and a young manager with potential whom most of you were happy to appoint. Rome wasn't built in a day fellas, you're behind 3 teams with bigger budgets than you and a very solid settled St Johnstone side. Considering where you were a couple of years ago I think you're doing as well as can be expected. Give it time, let the plans of the club come into fruition and have a bit of patience ffs Rome wasn't built in a day, but they didn't set fire to the Colosseum 3 years after construction either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As would IOur youth development was gutted by the administration and we're dealing with the longer term consequences now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hearts owner Ann Budge admits she is hoping the club’s new £12 million main stand will be operational by September 9. The steel truss above the existing stand has been in place since the start of February, while preparatory work outside the ground is continuing. The Tynecastle outfit plan to fulfil this season’s remaining fixtures at home and are set to ask the SPFL if they can play their matches at the start of next term away from Gorgie. Hearts owner Ann Budge admits she is hoping the club’s new £12 million main stand will be operational by September 9. The steel trust above the existing stand has been in place since the start of February, while preparatory work outside the ground is continuing. The Tynecastle outfit plan to fulfil this season’s remaining fixtures at home and are set to ask the SPFL if they can play their matches at the start of next term away from Gorgie. Despite the scale of the project in building the new 7,000 capacity structure, Budge is confident of adhering to the timetable that has been set. Budge said: “The plan sees the erection of the structural steel and concrete behind the main stand commencing early April, with a target of completion of the end of May. “Before we put in the new seating, we have to demolish the existing main stand. In line with our objective of continuing to play all our home this season at Tynecastle, the demolition of the old stand is scheduled to begin in mid-May; after we have played our last game of the season here. “All supporter areas, including toilet facilities, concourse catering facilities, turnstiles, staircases, lifts, escalators – everything needed to allow our supporters to safely attend home games is scheduled to be completed by the end of August. “Our plan is to be open for business on 9th September 2017.” Even though Hearts plan to be hosting matches by September, Budge admits work will not be completed behind the scenes. She added: “The next key target date is mid-January 2018, at which point our new hospitality suites will hopefully all be completed, along with new player changing facilities.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I know the curved bit of steel in the foreground is almost certainly one of the vertical columns that curve to meet the roof But I really hope it's actually a slide 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudu Dahan pal Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 That statement shes taking the hearts fans For mugs. Milking every last penny out of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Don't really see many issues with the statement tbh, price increases on ST's were always likely, they've been frozen for 3 years already. The club were up front about needing the fans help to finish the stand at some point and 98% of the FOH members voted to go ahead on that basis. The actual options aren't particularly appealing but no one is under any obligation to buy them. Why would Celtic fans be bothered about anything in that statement? Nothing even remotely related to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Prince Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 £100 to secure your seat for cup games and then still have to buy the tickets Budge is milking the Hearts support dry and the majority of supporters are lapping it up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs have charged the same price as when they were in the top league in the diddy league for three years and you think we're being mugged off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
