Did you know that both Villa Park and Tynecastle Park stadiums were designed by Archibald Leitch? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archibald_Leitch And did you know that the Villa floodlights were first used in a friendly match against Heart of Midlothian in November '58?

Now to the serious matter! We're hoping to redevelop Tynecastle as you intend to do with Villa Park but there's a government petition to protect the history of the architecture by listing the remaining stadia! http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/savehistory/

What do you think? Save the historical grounds and stand in the way of progress or demolish and be damned, it's all about money?

Interesting Chopper

Yes save them i say - as i said Villa Park as well as the others are the only traditional stands left that hold so much history and a great atmosphere

The new stands being knocked up today like the Ricoh - St Mary's - Walkers - Liberty etc are all souless plastic domes that look ok from outside but are pathectic from inside especially when it comes to atmosphere

.....sign up then! Be proactive, let the government know how you feel.

Lol i doubt it will make any difference mate - this is the Goverment were talking about here
