I have no objection to that at all. It's not a great day for Hearts but I can't give the fans an explanation of the circumstances of the parting of company. I can't say any more because of confidentiality agreements.

There are obvious alternatives if we are going to move to another stadium on a temporary basis.

On Saturday, we welcomed the actor, Ken Stott, as well as Gary Mackay, who had never been invited before.
