Hearts' New Stand Thread (Merged)

[GreenCastle]

The foundation plaza sign is hilarious - must have run out of money.

I’ve never known a new stand to have so many issues from its opening - wasn’t the Police box due to downscaled now or is it end of the season? Can’t wait to see how they manage that.

Confirmed by attending the last derby - a terrible stadium and rubbish surface to play football. All very amatuer.

Someone saying Hearts have got around 2000 tickets unsold still for the derby???

Just as well they spent all that money on the shonkey shan stand

The 18k capacity has proven a bit of an overbuild. Where are those 400,000 glory hunters - still dining out on two World Wars I presume?

Given the general incompetence at tinycastle, maybe they just forgot to inform all of the people on their 'famous' waiting list from the Vlad era, that their new mega stand is open for business.

They haven’t finished building it yet.

They're building their way down to about 18000 capacity. It takes time. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Not so much budge and her crew, do the hibs board not sit beside them......they should be worried.

Been told that they are having them clacker things that Leicester had the season they won the league on every seat, to improve the atmosphere when they play Motherwell.

Can you imagine the confusion they will have when they are twirling their scarfs and clacking away with those bloody things, there could be fatalities with those morons.

Bad idea. I’m worried these war heroes will think it’s the sound of gunfire and start having flashbacks.

Any idea how much she's charging them for the clackers?

I noticed yesterday that they have binned their design guru Jim Clydesdale

Where was that about ?

When does the legal suing stuff start ?

I know, and apparently she's putting them on every seat as well. Hopefully just the home fans seats.

On top of sacking the architect and having to redesign the inside the itk’s on kickback are now saying that all work on the new stand has been frozen for now while they concentrate on improving the team.

Wonder if the police and council will still have one eye on the health and safety issues at the halfbuilt arena that the police wrote to them about recently.

So the penny has finally dropped and realisation that what has been built is a potential death trap needing new architects to redraw everything from acess,egress , downsizing the dressing rooms and rebadging Ladies as Gents toilets to abandoning the fit out of the Gorgie Library Annex because they have run out of money.

The £1.75m loan facility is being splurged on Naismith not the infrastructure, the Walker dosh is already gone
and the Good Doctoress is no longer bailing them out is how I read it.

Its a joy to watch Thomaso, aka budgie's mouthpiece from the ticket office staff, drowning trying to put a positive spin on things.

If you are going on Sunday be safe cos the brown envelope bungs to season ticket holding council inspectors may not cover your health.

[Famous Fiver]

Not sure if that is the TV studio behind Naismith in the press photos today but if it is, I've seen better constructed pigeon lofts.

They could have shown some imagination and made it into a Budgie cage!

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

Just checked out the Council webpage and see that there was another Temporary Occupation Certificate issued for the accommodation under the Wheatfield Stand that covers them until February. Unfortunately due to some oversight the Temporary Occupation Certificate allowing them to use the new stand expired last November 19th.

Still plenty time tomorrow to get the permissions in order for Sunday's game........or , just do what they usually do, ignore any and all legal requirements that happen to inconvenience them knowing the Council lap dogs will look the other way.

An interesting mess should they ever have an incident where they need to get an indemnity from their liability insurers. It doesn't really sound like they have a safe means of entry and exit.

Certainly at the Roseburn Stand exit gate.

The combined width of stairs coming out of the North end of the new stand and the exits from the Roseburn stand are more than twice the width of the exit gate.

It should never have been allowed to be built that way.

Also , the visitors turnstiles. Planning permission was granted for a design that had 8 turnstiles for visiting fans. Only 6 have been installed causing problems seen at both our game and the Celtic visit but nothing has been done to make them carry out the work to the specification approved by the Council.

So they continue to take their responsibilities seriously then, throwing money at players in an attempt to win Sundays game when it might have been better spent executing work along the lines of the planning permission.

It's an absolute scandal. Once again I find myself hoping there will be no major incident at that end, the consequences don't beat thinking about. And I'm not talking about Hearts' inadequate insurance.

Stay safe, Hibees.

Thomaso - the patent glazing guru.

[Famous Fiver]

Surely the certificate issue should be raised by the Match Commander before the game?

He can't possibly be asleep on the job, surely?

Has he heard of Hillsborough?

Defies belief.

Just over a year passed since the much heralded Truss was erected. Must be finished by now.

Looking forward to the big anniversary parade. The good doctor will probably sell them all trusses for the occasion.
