Just one side left to rebuild.

Sticking to a Scottish theme, Tynecastle is also very nice. The ground currently has a capacity of 18,000.
3 very smart, single tiered stands....

Good lad Ralphy! Was my football home for a season back when Hearts had their best season ever! When the place is full (against the Old Firm or Hibs) you get a cracking atmosphere there as well. |

I was reading that they are also planning to build a larger 2 tiered stand on the final 4th side of the ground. It will look the business.

That does look the nuts to be fair! Pretty sure that work is due to start at the end of this season. |

If we could have a slightly smaller version that'd be the quality. Football wise it's just a compact, tidy ground, then the circular structure around the main stand adds all the cash making bits and bobs we need as well as giving us a bloody good looking ground

Nice ground. A capacity of c.20k seems about right, doesn't it?

I like the feel of Tynecastle, the mother in law lives a stones throw from there and it has a nice feel to the whole ground, very compact with nice views from all round the new stands.
20k would be perfect for a club of our size and the feel is still almost "old school" with having square corners and not rounded stands in the corners.
As stated above the extra arched entrance way would add some good room for extra facilities not club related, such as hotel, gym, shopping etc.
A nice vision and one I would love Swindon to also adopt.

Both Tynecastle and Easter Road in Edinburgh are both perfectly situated in their respective areas surrounded by houses and good pubs. Used to love matchdays at Tynecastle as you could leave the pub at 2.50 and be in your seat in time for kick off! |

That was just because the crowds were so shit I'll take the bait. Hearts' attendances have been very good recently. When I went it was full houses every week! (think the average attendance that season would have been around 18k. |

Yeah I have. A big City with no other clubs for miles and miles. They should be getting gates of 20k.
