They’d set the target at £1,000, and just wanted to do something to help the club they love a bit with the fees, with an added bonus of highlighting Hearts’ shitehousery for what it is. It’s not their fault that they have raised nearly £45,000. I would assume that your reasoning is that the funds could be used for something else more worthwhile? For them, this is worthwhile, and given that over 2100 people have donated to their cause so far, whilst Bonny Prince Red Dot agrees with you, should tell you all you need to know. Well done and good on them! I just think it's a bit of strange thing to move them to action. Pay the wages, stave of administration, raise youth fund etc would be better. I realise the money will all go in to the same club pot, but paying QCs isn't a selling point for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUSF have handed over £100000 to the club, ArabTrust raises money and pays towards youth development, we aren't heading for admin. RR fans have raised funds to keep club going. This cash was just to help with what was felt to be costs that were unjustified and unbudgeted for. It wasn't just for one club either, the cash helps pay fees that all three have to pay, added to the Cove and Rover's fans efforts it's over £68000. Well done to all involved. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs do the same for away fans at non Cat A matches, tickets are bought at a portacabin then scanned at the turnstile. My guess is its to stop potentially dangerous bottlenecks if people couldnt get their contactless working at turnstile so probably a police requirement tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunnels lining up with the halfway line should be one of the main criteria for Premiership eligibility. I'd also throw in no stands with pillars, grass pitches only, no grounds that aren't 4 sided, and no grounds with shite legroom. and grounds in the middle of nowhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 The tunnel at East End doesn't line up with the halfway line, although that's because the changing rooms are in the Norrie McCathie stand. The club also has utilises the stupid ticket policy of having to buy one from the ticket office/booth or club shop then queue to use it at the turnstiles. This is obviously why we are a Championship club. Definitely no other reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the frames at the top of the entryways that get in the way a bit in some seats, other than that you get an excellent view of what's going on (where I've sat anyway). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes the Hearts ground overall is still fantastic in my view. Edited July 19, 2020 by Yorky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
