Book Overview: Tynecastle Park has been the venue for some of the greatest games in Scottish football history, from European nights and top-of-the-table league clashes to relegation battles, cup ties and fierce derby showdowns with city rivals Hibs. However, things are set to change as Vladimir Romanov, the Lithuanian-based multi-millionaire who recently replaced the controversial Chris Robinson as owner of the club, wants to improve the stadium. This means that the ground fans know and love will be changed forever - and Romanov has not ruled out an eventual move from the stadium, an idea which, as Chris Robinson discovered, Hearts supporters find abhorrent. For them, the ground is the nerve centre of all that is good about Hearts, a place where they gather to pay homage to their heroes and have witnessed the great dramas unfold over the years.
