Just reminded me about the patchwork quilt bit. Looks like they weren't joking and they're leaving it like that. Unique and sophisticated.

Quilt bit? Quilt bit? Shirley that's a patchwork curtain wall, or have I misunderstood that concept?

Who knows? We are but hobos who are used to a straightforward trouble free built stadium with none of the hype.

It'll be a sophisticated design of a curtain wall. Made up of all the bits the supplier had lying around ☺

Unable to fulfil fixture?

Match awarded to opponents 3-0.

Is there precedent for that? I'm not seeing that mentioned here:

Non-fulfilment of Fixture Obligations
G46 No Club shall, unless the circumstances of the failure are outside the control of theClub concerned and could not have been reasonably foreseen and reasonablyanticipated and remedied prior to the match, fail to fulfil its fixture obligations inrespect of any League Match or Play-Off Match on and at the appointed or, as thecase may be, rescheduled date, time and venue.
G47 For the purposes of Rules G5 and G46 a representation by a Club that it will not orintends not to fulfil a fixture obligation or that it will do so only subject to acondition or conditions which are or are found to be unacceptable to the Boardshall be deemed to be in breach of Rule G5 notwithstanding that the Board has ormay have rescheduled or later reschedules the match concerned.
G48 Without prejudice to any other sanctions, which may be imposed for a breach ofRules, a Club failing to fulfil a fixture obligation in terms of Rules G5 and/or G46shall be liable to pay compensation for any expenses necessarily incurred by theopposing Club as a direct result of the failure. The amount of such compensationwill be at the discretion of the Board which will consider every such case on itsmerits.

Dear SFA,

Despite my status as a *particularly* successful businesswoman, I have run this project like a rank amateur. I even forgot to order the seats!

Couldn't have seen that coming!!

Free pass please.

Yours,
Dr Ann Budge

P.s. You don't know any good electricians do you?

Why does she get the moniker "Dr" on here?

I stopped by in Mcleod Street about 4PM today. The piazza or what ever they call it and the Gorgie end exit are nearly complete but the Roseburn end has a good bit to go .

While I was there Doctor Budge emerged from the world class erection with 2 or 3 builder boss looking chappies.

Under her maroon hard hat she had a face like thunder so that might be an indication of progress inside or maybe she's just been told of more additional costs and the Gorgie coo's been milked dry.

How on earth could you tell the difference from her normal face

She got an honoury doctorate from the University of Dalry in recognition of her services to the revival of 1960's architecture

“Piazza”. 🤣

Talk about giving their mind a treat.

The only piazza’s round there will be cheese and tomato ones.

Hey, with chips!!

I got the figures from the new stand planning application - stadium exiting statement.

That has, Wheatfield - 5918
Roseburn - 3551
Gorgie - 3340

That's 12,809 but if anyone fancies doing a dot count.

Who knows what the real figures are they seem to be rather concocted for the new stand anyway. The Roseburn and Gorgie stands lost several rows of seats when they extended the pitch I think which seem to be the figures that the hearts webpage is using - hence the lower stand capacities.
A dotcount would be interesting but I doubt any jambos will want to know the result. I suspect the total number of tickets available for sale will be about 1000 less than Easter Rd...

They lost seats in the wheatfield when they put in the new temp tunnel.

Piazza. Are fans actually gonna chuck that into their every day chat do we think? I'll often txt my mate saying "get you at the club shop at 2.45pm", for example. Are they going to be on the lads whatsapp group spouting guff like "catch you on the piazza at the back of 2". What a bunch of fuds.

The interiors are looking world-class...and just a baw-hair from completion!!



I especially love that shade of 70s residential care home pink.

This picture is obviously 'fake news' you can clearly see breeze blocks in the photo and we all know the mega stand doesn't employ such cheap and nasty materials.

These are NOT breeze blocks. They're hearts blocks. They're like breeze blocks only much thicker.

I note that on kickback somebody has posed the question about contingency plans if the stand really were to fail its safety test ahead of the Partick game. No sign of anybody providing a response - presumably because there isn't a plan!

Don't panic Pike.

If Levein has been brought in earlier they would have only needed three stands.

She has received honorary degrees from universities that technically allow her to use the title of Dr.

It's customary that recipients of honorary doctorates don't actually use the title out of respect for those who worked for several years to earn the same qualification but Dr Budge has no such qualms.

Is it not phd level before you get to use the title?

Indeed the Philosophiae Doctor (PhD) is a title granted after a period of study usually 3-4 years full time where you complete a research project and submit a thesis which makes an original contribution to knowledge. It's a hard slog for most people.

The honorary PhD's handed out by universities are largely now a marketing/publicity exercise, e.g. Swansea awarding one to Hilary Clinton to get a 30 second slot on the six o'clock news. Hilary will not be styling herself Dr Clinton, usually only narcissistic oddballs would actually use the title if they hadn't actually completed a real PhD programme.

There is a third way to 'achieve' the title and that is by what is effectively a correspondence course with a dodgy institution. A celebrated example would be Rev Dr Ian R K Paisley's award from that celebrated white supremacist institution the Bob Jones University. I think it cost him $50 and I assume the ceremonial graduation gown was full KKK regalia.

Was the statement the other week not a thesis? Felt long enough.

Not her fault that the questioning hasn’t been up to scratch.

Meanwhile back at the Piazza....

How is the final testing going, you know that one that takes 3 weeks prior to opening for the first game, they must be part of the way through it by now?

[GreenCastle]

They have added a cheap looking car park barrier to the front.

Obviously couldn’t afford the retractable bollards.

I still don’t think it has full power yet - seems still temp lights inside.

Going to be hilarious if they can’t play the next game at the PBS.

They are desperate for it to be played as they don’t have an alternative.

From Wikipedia:

"Budge was awarded "Entrepreneur of the Year" by the Entrepreneurial Exchange in 2005 and was then inducted into the Entrepreneurial Exchange Hall of Fame in November 2013. She is listed as a role model by the Women's Engineering Society.
Ann is an Honorary Graduate of Heriot-Watt University and Edinburgh Napier University."

No offence, but are those REAL Universities? Surely they're just technical colleges for the sons and daughters of the artisan classes?

Not real universities.

And how can a woman think of studying engineering when most of them can't work out how the simple hinge that is the toilet seat works?
