That's some list.
Have you brought it up with the Council ?

No, why waste my time telling the Council what they already know.

Is there a regulator that would be interested to know?

I think we know the reason the Yams need 800 odd comfy lounger seats in the stand.

Every Cooncil Official and their dug will be enjoying Tiny hospitality for a while.

Where do you begin with the litany of breaches of regulation with the new Tiny stand.

1. There has not been a Building Warrant issued to allow work on the stand to commence

2. Very late in the day, they applied for planning permission for the reinforcement of the Distillery storage area walls and this was granted last month. There has never been a Building Warrant applied for but the work is 90% complete.

3. They have been using the Wheatfield undercroft since the beginning of the year for their ticket office, shop, and changing facilities with any completion cert. Only a temp. occupation cert. for a 24 hour period has ever been issued.

4.The temporary Tynecastle nursery round in Wheatfield Street had a temp occupation cert. issued in February this year so they could move the sprogs out to demolish the old nursery building that was in the way. The occupation cert was issued 2 months before the Building warrant which was issued in April.

5. There has been a complaint made ( presume by H & S E ) about breach of conditions on the site. The complaint was logged 6th March and is still pending consideration on some officials desk.

Do you think the Council will start enforcing any regs. now ?

its the papers it should be leaked to

[GreenCastle]

Few things to note...

The panels they are adding to the side of the stand are maroon and red....bit random with the red

Dugouts - mentioned before the current dugouts are a joke in the Wheatfield - very close to the punters and the technical area doesn't look big enough. The funny thing is that because of the poor design of roof the management get soaked.

If they haven't thought about this in the new stand - we may see Cathy standing in the dugout with an umbrella

Looks like the lower section of the stand is less steep and they are awaiting the lightweight material from Korea to install. Not sure life span of this lightweight stuff but interesting alternative to concrete used at majority of stadiums.

They have left the far end of the stand open for an entrance so they can install these but there come a point where they will surely need to work from the front and close up the side of the stand...will be interesting to see how they do that.

46 days and counting...could be a lot of overtime pay on the way to some lucky Hibee workers

The different shades theme is to match the seats inside.

Or maybe it's best ignored?

I'm struggling to accept that the council, Hearts, builders and all the solicitors etc involved in a project of this scale are wrong and that a couple of posters on a rival football team's forum are in fact correct!

Seems like most folk on here are taking this stuff as gospel though.

However, as soon as someone comes on here saying that things are on track across the road they get shot down in flames and interrogated. What's that all about?

[Morganleith]

I'm sure their dugouts will be in the new stand come the Aberdeen game. The ones in the bus shelter are only temporary for league cup

It's not people saying it's "on track", it's the way they ridicule the posters who dare to suggest that things might not be going to plan. Telling them they're obsessed and such.

Also, this is a hibs fans website and bad news for them is always going to be welcomed...and those who make snide digs at those who are the bearers of such news will obviously be treated with contempt. Quite rightly so IMO.

[WhileTheChief..]

So bad news about Hearts = 100% fact
Any other thoughts = LTYF

Got it!!

Erm, aye ok.

It's not about what's right and what's wrong, it's about the way some people are treated by other "hibs fans". It stinks.

Are you Hearts Architect, or their professional negligence insurer?

No I'm not but i would of thought the Council would have to explain such issues if confronted and asked in writing. There's no way they can hide that lot without explanation.

If Hearts fans think it's good news....it's bad news to me.
If we think it's bad news for them...it's good news to me.

Quite simple really

As for how truthful any news is, I just wait until the dust settles and in this case then we can count the seats in their new greenhouse at their allotment

There's two or three of them who refuse to accept that the stand will be the best thing to happen in Scottish football since WW2 and that it might not be as aesthetically pleasing on the outside as everybody thinks ...... this makes them Hobo vermin spoon burning sister admiring **** ........... apparently

That it may not fully represent their status as the biggest and indeed bravest football team in all of eastern Scotland

The only advantage of this wet summer in Edinburgh is the possibility of delaying building works.

We don't and haven't had one for quite a few years now!

The problem the yams have is that once this new megastand is complete they will have to start looking at upgrading the other 3 due to their age etc but we all know that they will be left just like the asbestos stand!!

Agreed - was in the Wheatfield for the Bonnyrigg Rose game and even that one is like a big rusty shed. Makes you realise how lucky we are to have ER

I went in that too. Its very unpleasant getting out. No proper handrails with a very steep staircase. An experience I will not be repeating.

It's a death trap when it's raining.

Cracking seats in the new stand for those that buy into Ian Cathro's vision of removing the goalposts. Problem solved, sit behind the police box.

Spend £14 million plus on a new stand with restricted views..only our pink neighbours would do such a thing.

As others have said the other stands are needing maintenance - slipppery floors / poor exit system - lack of turnstiles - horrible toilets.

Not sure when that picture was taken - and I'm also aware that the build order will probably be different (they seem to be doing the external cladding at the back first), but on reviewing the pictures I took during construction of the East... We started putting in the concrete stepped surfaces onto the steel framework in Mid May, staggered with the roof struts (presumably for ease of access / installation) with it being installed towards the end of May. The stand opened late August, which was reportedly ahead of schedule.

Even with an open mind, it seems hard to imagine how the stand can be completed by 9th September. 9th October might even seem ambitious. Obviously I'm not a civil engineer, so that's purely speculation on my part :)
