gannonball Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Out of interest has there been any feesback regarding the half grass/synthetic pitch from the players at Murrayfield? Think there is chat of us going for something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 If the new stand isn't ready and Murrayfield is out of commission - couldn't Hearts' home games be played at Hampden in an emergency? Obviously be a pisser for Hearts fans but it could hold everyone that needs to be there and it wouldn't need any additional setup.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really seems to be the best of both worlds tbh, Im hopeing it catches on up here as personally speaking I feel full 'plastic' pitches cheapens our league.

Would probably only bring 2 or 3 hundred fans anyway. FWIW I think the game will go ahead as scheduled. Maybe folk have made plans for the game to go ahead as planned? I for one have a hotel booked as we planned to make a weekend of it. I know going by our forums that others had done the same. I don't see what the number of fans travelling has to do with it? You rarely take more than 700-800 to RP yourselves. For the record, we sold out our allocation in our only visit last year and that was midweek between Christmas and New Year.

This is why I stated that any further delay would need to be announced pronto. Pretty sure that Mrs Budge would recompense any Killie fans who would be out of pocket too.

We had one of them when we moved into TFS in 2005. Wear and tear didnt seem any better though than a normal pitch to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 They only play one day a weekend (assuming that they aren't away) I would have thought Hampden would be even further down the list of backup plans than Easter Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingboots Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Easter Road would be the obvious option. It's bigger than redeveloped Tynecastle will be so no issue re season ticket holders not getting their ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
