Surely a statue of Queen of Hearts in her Jesus pose would finish off the Plaza nicely?

But she's not won as much as agent romanov

I completely agree and I am sure said statue will be put in place as soon as she persuades the gullible FOH hordes that she will be the cherry on the icing of a very rickety cake.

You heard it here first.

I'm warming to this idea now, the idea of an incomplete poorly constructed statue seems appropriate. If they made it a couple of hundred feet tall you might be able to see it from the castle.

A cheap construction option? How about a waxwork or maybe they could bake one.

ER costs:

Famous Five and South Stands 1995 - about £7m all in for the two
West Stand 2001 about £7m
East Stand 2010 £6m

So £20m in total for a fully fit for purpose stadium with directors box, dressing rooms, hospitality suites, press box etc. Oh and add 5 million for East Mains not a bad bit of business compared to the 17 million f@@@ up.

Think the East was less as hall construction needed the work and the steel price was very low.

[hibbydad]

From what I remember the East cost between 3 and 4 and the west about 8

The East was an utter bargain! I'm hopefully switching it to next season as the 7 year old is now going on a regular basis and wants to see the game side on.

[Alan62]

Add to the £17M and counting the cost of refurbishing the other three stands which, frankly, aren't great and, I think, were originally built with a relatively short lifespan.

Prices have roughly doubled since 2001 so it would cost around £14m at today's prices to build the West stand. Still suggests £17+ million for an inferior single tier stand at Tynecastle is overpriced (but not by as much as the raw figures suggest).

Are these official figures Kojock?

IIRC the east only cost £3.2m

From what i can remember it was quite a bleak time in the construction industry and Barr Construction approached us and gave us it for bargain price.

It was built on time and on budget as it was quite basic build. By basic i mean no corporate facilities, changing rooms, offices etc, just a stand, seats, pie stalls and toilets.

This is the cost, taking into account inflation since each of those stands was built (plus the East only cost 3.5M)

FF & South 13.32M
West Stand 11.2M
East Stand 4.48M

Total Cost of rebuild, in real terms (inflation adjusted): 29M

The Council has a number to report unsafe buildings.

The way the sash and case window is detached from its surrounds makes it qualify.

It might get the other owners attention if they got a letter from the Council.

Do you have a picture of this damage?

I'm surprised it's not on the Hearts website given their love of curved walls.

Steel was at rock bottom prices which I think prompted the decision to go ahead when it did.

Yeah but it was a waste of money and we'll never fill it.

No, but you can't miss it.

Second floor , third window from the end gable on Mcleod Street. Its where the bow in the front wall is most pronounced.

If you take a look, check the cracking in the ground floor window mullion next to the stair door. There is also a split stone window ground floor sill appeared in the adjacent block No 3 .

Don’t think anyone disputes that Petrie negotiated an excellent deal on the East Stand build, also difficult to argue the football side fell off a cliff around the same time too under his watch.

I see from today’s Evening news that the cost has risen to £18 million !!! States that the new main stand holds 7,290 seats. What does the Roseburn/gorgie/ wheatfield take the attendance figure up to now. When was the last time they had 20k watching a match ?

Thats total madness. U could almost build a new stadium for that 😂

Wasn’t it permission from nearby flats expiring?

[Hibs4185]

If I remember correctly, Petrie said on average a new stand is £1000-£1300 per seat as a general indication depending on finishes. This kind of price ties in with the estimated costs of our stands. The east was built for £500 a seat I’m sure.

The yams are currently around £2600 per seat and rising for a future carbuncle winner

Not permission from flats as they were not there when permission was first granted. There was a risk letting permission run out that there would be challenges for an extension. A lot of stars lining up same time as steel was cheap and a recession making quotes cheaper.

And space between seats is a lot smaller than our East. I’ve been in their new stand twice, for Scotland under 21 games, and legroom is less than our East

The person responsible for East Stand (West Stand and East Mains) is no longer at the club.

Combined cost of all three was less than Hearts have paid so far for their incomplete Main Stand.

When did they start fracking at Tynecastle?
