    That was the case when Hibs built the West Stand.

    Now it's in the range £1,500 to £2,500 per seat for the most basic stand.

    If you want anything more lavish with conference facilities etc. you would be talking circa £2,500 to 3,500 per seat.

    That suggests that the cost will be around the £12 million mark that was cited above. That excludes all the (temporary?) work to the Wheatfield to provide changing room facilities. It also excludes the demolition of the existing main stand and all the disposal of asbestos waste and other hazardous materials.
    The demolition and safe disposal of things from a stand as old as the one at Tynecastle is gonna be pricey!

    I predict at the end of May 2017 the stand will be burned to the ground in mysterious circumstances and a substantial insurance claim submitted.

    Steel prices are lower now than when we built the East.

    Presumable the KB inmates will be conducting an interrogation of their club as to how all of this is to be funded, on the basis that they and their mates now own the club After Romanov we would expect nothing else. Would we?

    Or is it somewhere along the lines of "Mrs Budge said it will all be good, so it will be".

    And the Hibs East Stand is far more basic than would be needed for a main stand.

    The raw material costs of steel amount to a third of total costs including fabrication. Steel costs will be no more that 25% of total costs. So we are talking about less that 10% of the total costs being accounted for by steel.

    In any event, steel prices are higher than they were when Hibs built their West Stand in 2001. And that cost £1,000 per seat!

    Asbestos beats fire for sure. Wood versus fire though? This could become the Gorgie version of paper scissors stone

    Let's hope they do improve their ground and that it is paid for by legitimate means. I also hope that the get the same deal from the Council planning department that any other business would get.

    To be honest I would like to see all Scottish grounds getting nearer the standard of ER..it would be good for the Scottish game.

    They would be able to do a lot of this in-house, if their attendance figures are anything to go by.

    I don't why we are bothering about this in the first place. What does it matter what the cost is? after all, they will just owe the money to themselves would they not ?

    And that makes it more feasible. Oh dear our stand has burned down and there's hazardous materials to be removed. How fortunate that the insurance company will foot the bill for same.

    Do you seriously think they keep up their insurance payments?

    Be a bloody good broker and an incompetent insurance surveyor that got them reinstatement and / or unrestricted fire cover on that accident waiting to happen.

    If that could ever be traced back to them there would be hell to pay.

    Not only a fraudulent insurance claim but endangering health by asbestos flying everywhere.

    I don't think they could chance it.

    How can they be demolishing part of the stadium & yet still keep the same attendance?? I guess it's easy if your reported attendances never match the actual attendance!

    The insurance company wouldn't pay rebuilding costs in any case, given that plans to demolish have already been announced.
