I’m no seat installation expert but they don’t seem to be making huge amount of progress putting in the seats.
It looks a shambles and way off being finished any time soon.
The weather seems to be taking a turn for the worse too so will only slow things down.
What a dreadful project this whole shambles has been.

There’s chat on JKB about how the first 10 rows or so of the new concrete is soaking wet in some pics.
Apparently the roof doesn’t come out far enough to protect them from the rain.
I hope this is true.

1914: The new Main Stand was partially opened on 15 August when Hearts beat Celtic 2-0 in the League before 18,000 spectators. The club instructed a tablet to be placed on the outside wall giving details of the Directors involved in the construction project.
1914: When the Stand was completed in October, it was the most advanced in Scotland, but a number of items had been omitted from the original estimate and the club's commitment began to rise just as gates began to fall due to the outbreak of the Great War.
1924: A survey revealed that if every spectator was allowed a space of 14 inches by 24 inches, the capacity of Tynecastle was 50,068. If it was 14 x 22 inches then the capacity was 60,018.
Lolz at the history repeating itself.

The canopy will be capable of folding down when it is not raining and being stored in the upright position so as to avoid contact with the person you are wedged up against. It could be used as a walking aid and a range of attractive matching gloves may also be an option - especially with Xmas approaching.

Even recently I know someone who was on the opposition bench when Hearts moved their dugouts to the Wheatfield and they were soaked.
Today's rain wasn't even that bad and the front rows are clearly soaked - add in some wind and we can't even see the tin rows so hospitality could be soaked too!!
The one thing is our stadium roof does cover the front of the stands by quite a bit - saw this on stadium tour recently and never seen anyone at a game be soaked at front row.
The wonderful truss they have really isn't that effective but that doesn't surprise me.
Many of their photos of the inside of the stand have puddles in them too..slightly worrying..

I think we’re owe the new Hearts stand a round of applause for the hours of fun this somewhat troubled and shambolic structure has served up for us. The asbo stand set the bar for Yam competence but they appear to have surpassed themselves here.

Worrying? I'm not worried. I'm enjoying my gloat.

Spare a thought for poor old 'All-is' - in the coming months/years he's gonna have his work cut out explaining why 2 clubs playing at the neutral PBS in cup semis can't get 10,000 tickets each, law-suits from fans hurt in slipping/sliding, fights from lack-of-space/over-crowding, damage caused by rain/natural elements, losses due to demand for views of Edinburgh Castle outweighing demand for chips etc, etc ................

I was coming out of the toilets at Midstock and he was waiting to go in.
Passed by about an hour later and he was in the queue again.
Make of that what you will.

Without sounding totally stupid would it it have been easier to work top to bottom?

Saw these pictures on the EEN site and can't believe they're not asking more questions.

Vlad knew how we to play them and the euphoria over the overpriced, overdue and underwhelming single tiered one stand that they are all overpaying for should tell whoever comes along next that they're still ripe for plucking.

Kept telling him about Vlads business methods, he'd good evidence of the yams non payment approach to life but he couldn't see past agent romanov. He had the good grace to admit he was blinded by the promises when it all went pear shaped.
I emailed him light heartedly about the new fan ownership dream and the new Gorgie Maracana. Not bought into the former and says "we had to do something" on the latter. Praise indeed.

Chip pans and a new plastic owl, artificial trees for the grand plaza. Job done.
