Tynecastle set for new name
By: Graham | January 17th, 2008Hearts yesterday delivered the planning permission application for the new 10,000 seater stand needed to hold visiting Rangers and Celtic fans increasing numbers of season ticket holders. So Hearts fans can now look forward to:
- a big name manager
- big name signings
- a big name new stadium
What do I mean by that last point? Well, here is what Pedro Lopez is reported saying on the Hearts web site today.
Hearts deputy chief executive Pedro Lopez has intimated that Tynecastle Stadium could be renamed in the future - but only if the successful sponsor is prepared to invest heavily in the club.
Now, I’m not sure but I have a feeling that Hearts already have a major sponsor and that, given that sponsor’s connection with the current Hearts owner, that sponsorship is likely to continue. I also find it hard to imagine the current owner willing to let another company overshadow his own when it comes to naming his club’s stadium.
So, let’s make some noise at Ukio Bankas Stadium.
Mmm.

It does seem like the capacity of Tynecastle is definitely the foremost of Hearts’ problems, and good on Vlad for getting right on it. Must be nice to have such an attentive owner. Now, if he could only pick your squad for you …

Can’t see that happening, Ian. I mean, the man has made his millions in banking: he obviously realises the importance of sticking to your strengths and letting others get on with what they do best. No, I see Vlad the Impaler (of managers) as very much a hands-off sort of guy.
