More like they've designed it like airports, can't get to departure lounge without walking through the perfume sellers. There'll be such a queue to get out a few will shrug and buy pint of warm tartan special served in a lego glass shaped like a bus.

Still no probs at Tiny as the officials are told to look the other way.

I live fairly close to Tynecastle and whenever I pass by the new big pink tram-stop, it really does look, well, a wee bit crap (and that’s not the rivalry talking)
I know little about the nuances of the construction industry but it always seems to be ‘a work in progress’ with portacabins, Herras fencing and the odd bloke in a hard-hat wandering around aimlessly (muttering something about ‘natural orders’...probably)
On and off the park it all just seems to have this ‘make it up as you go along’ feel, and what with them being a ‘big team’ you’d expect a wee bit better.
I daresay they’ll make a few bob selling pints of piss poor lager the morra purely out of curiosity but it’ll have to go a bit to compete with the amiable surroundings and bright lights of Stratfords wine and spirits emporium.

Craig Levein says paying for new stand will impact his budget for 18/19
https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.c...dget-1-4742202
Also, have Hearts explained why their dug out area is off centre? I know ours is, but that was an unavoidable consequence of only being able to reset the pitch after we had built the main stand.
An unavoidable quirk, in other words.
Their stand just looks sh*t. Their dig out area isn’t centred on the half way line nor is it plumb centre in the stand itself.

That's actually more common than you might think. Stands are often built with whopping great support pillars right in the centre, so they need to have the tunnel to the side of them.

Just how will this stand deliver such huge revenue boosts?

World class conference facilities. The board room set up is second to none.

I wonder what the players he's just signed make of a statement like that. He's effectively saying "We would normally have brought in better players but you're all we can afford right now."

Their new pitch getting installed. Actually sounds like a decent surface getting installed so should make trips there a bit easier.

I just read the following from Thomaso:
The bottom line - £15m is a snip for a new stand that incorporates dressing rooms, media centre, numerous hospitality suites, a rooftop facility, Club shop, Fans bar, a nursery, large plaza..........and of course that impressive glass façade.
But wait:
Dressing Rooms - not in use yet and presumably still to be kitted out
Media centre - so thats the desks at the front where expensive laptops get ruined when it rains - or is that the yet to be built TV studio ?
Hospitality Suites - but they have decided not to use them any more and live with the existing ones and see if they can now hawk them out as conf facilities
Rooftop facility - except its not on the roof and has a view of the historic tynecastle high
Club Shop - is that in existence yet or still in wheatfield ?
Fans Bar - give them that
Nursery - does it exist yet ?
Large Plaza = the benefit this brings is unclear
Impressive Glass facade - ya beauty

They just move from swallowing and paying for whatever they are told, plus inflation busting interest.
It's a contractors dream.

Which is pleasing.
There's the going rate, and there's the rate you can get away with charging the givers.

One day they hope to get their premium seat fans who sit near it to take advantage of the opportunity to fund it's preservation.

#alliisbarry says FoH have paid over the final installment of the three million they're paying towards the new stand.
He pointed out that Budge has put any interest on hold while they were paying for it, meaning that she effectively paid 300k toward it in the process.
I don't think I'll ever understand his logic.

"Budge was speaking as Hearts confirmed the receipt of £3 million from FoH which had been redirected towards the redevelopment of Tynecastle, which will now come it at around £15 million and is set to be completed by next summer"
So, +£15m, includes £3m from the chumps and won't be finished til NEXT SUMMER!!!

Most interesting stat.. Yesterday Craig says about £1.5M today Anne says £2M.
Not receiving 300000 in interest is replayed as contributing 300000 which doesn't seem like the same at all. #isitjustme

The club hasn't been paying interest to her, therefore that money can be put towards the new stand.
I'm not sure about the arithmetic, though.
