[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 165432"] Thoughts on possibility of Hearts making Murrayfield home next year? A simple 2 year ground swap, despite any sentimental ruckus, could help out both sides in the short term. Edinburgh playing at a 13,000 seat stadium, Hearts at a 67,000 seat ground with modern facilities. edinburgh_gunner's comments on the atmospheric black hole of a massive stadium is more than backed up by Heart's bosses stating even they found the stadium lacking atmosphere with a crowd over 20,000. Let alone 2,000. The obvious problem is the simple fact that a purpose build stadium costs money and the SRU aren't exactly flush at the moment. At some stage they must surely be forced to again investigate the option of private ownership, albeit with more robust contractual arrangements. They quite simply need the money! Did the Curruthers ever signal any plans for future hosting of Edinburgh Gunners games under their ownership? Or is this simply one of those glaring issues that are obvious but too big to tackle at present? [/QUOTE]
