Last updated : 19 May 2005 By Stewart Morrison
Here is a breif summary of the talking points from last nights fans forum meeting.

Brief report

-Came over as articulate, well informed and focused

-Robinson will be soon gone - or he will

-He hopes to turn the club round within a year or be gone

-New sponsor likely but not on extended deal so that we can get better deal later

-Players identified for new coach to consider

-Confidential contract extension talks underway with players

-Miller talks ongoing( with a nod and a wink if no outright promise).

-Confirmed we could had him for £100K if the old board had the money.

-Hartley will be retained unless the price is very generous.

-New Season ticket with some prices up( near the half way line) and some down(families, concessions and poor seats)

-Clearly wants to move to more families.

-Big improvements in marketing and corporate facilties.

-Benefits for good and long term customers

-Gorgie suite packages to be improved

-Off site facilties to be used for corporate( the day centre behing the main stand I would guess).

-Full description on the Robbo affair but nothing new.

-New coach might be a big name or a rising star with a track record of improving a club ala Davie Moyes(but not him) at Preston.

-Likely to want to play all UEFA games at Tynecastle except massive ones that would attract 40,000 once the revolution has flourished.

-Changes to make Tynecastle UEFA compliant may go ahead or be delayed until we qualify

-No place at HMFC for Racism or bigotry.

-Romanov is the real deal. Wait and see said he . The transfer windows opens soon and a new coach will be in place in weeks rather than days.

-Might seek sponsorship of the ground or stands so long as the Tynecastle name remained

-Looking at ways to allow non season ticket holders find seats beside their mates

-Fans will be consulted
