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.

44 days to go.

I've written to Queen Ann and suggested they buy a 3D printer, the stand will then be finished overnight.

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.

Where are the restricted view seats?

Behind the ugly police box.

I'm not even sure how they will finish the front corner of the stand unless they remove that police box.

New stand has police facilities but no one at Hearts has mentioned the old one is being removed yet.

I stopped off for a neb at the site proress. Can't see too much as they are working on the steelwork to the front of the stand.

One thing I did notice is there is a crack appeared in the gable wall of the tenement at the top of Mcleod street adjacent to where the piling works were done.

It does not look overly serious but it runs three-quarters the height of the gable. I don't think it was there before work started or their engineers would have put tell-tales on it.

Never rains but it pours for the poor Yams.

I refuse to believe anyone can make such a mistake. They've either got to be removing that or there's some optical illusion thing happening.

That would be the biggest stadium **** up of all time if they had all these seats there you couldn't actually see. Especially given all the fanfare and smugness.

Its not a mistake, sitting behind the police box with no view of the pitch are infact the most expensive seats in the stand.

Look at the position of police control room and then the stand. That's a lot of seats with a restricted view??

Wonder if they have sold ST's for that section of the ground and if so have they told the yams that they won't have a clear view??

Out of sheer curiosity, I peeked across the road - no-one there seems to know if the police box is moving or not....though there was one suggestion they could put blind supporters there. No, seriously..

If it was moving or there were facilities elsewhere surely it would have just been flattened to allow access to that area??

Optimistic theory is that the new police facilities will be in the new stand, but they are just keeping the old one in place for now in case the new bit isn't ready for the first few games actually played there. Doesn't seem like "planning for success" to me :)

If Cathro's still the manager if the stand ever gets finished there will be lots of Yams desperate for these seats.

Would think so but you never know?? They have done things arse from elbow for the sake of money and rather than flattening it all and rebuilding from scratch it's running into millions rather than thousands!

I am sure one will be along shortly to tell me I'm just jealous and it will all look amazing when finished!!

This concept artwork would suggest it's staying though......unless that's just the graphic artwork department being lazy and using a current image of that stand without considering any alterations.

They paid £12m for that!? Pathetic excuse for a "main stand".

Police box must have a view of the pitch and, more importantly, seating areas. They can't do with the new stand.

Where's our police box situated out of interest? Am I right in saying its one of the boxes in the South?

[JohnMcM]

There seems to talk about the coloured glass/panels on one side of the new stand being laid out to look like 1-5. Mate of mine saw the info on their "New Stand" thread. Not seen it myself. Make of it what you will, if true seems rather infantile to me.

They wish

The pics of the new RED (Aberdeen colours) and maroon panels look horrendous.

They could have saved a lot of money if they stayed away from this glass nonsense they have tried to install.

It might not be a (financial) problem for them though.
I used to live in Wheatfield Terrace from '96 to 2000.
I think it was in '97 our bedroom ceiling collapsed due to piling works at Tynecastle (Wheatfield Stand??). The insurance loss adjustor came out and told us numerous properties in the immediate area had similar problems so I thought it was a clear cut case for the builder to pay out but my own house insurance paid for the repairs and no losses were chased from a 3rd party.
I don't know how it's meant to work but I thought it strange at the time no monies were recovered from those responsible for the works.

[Monts]

They are still playing games at tynecastle so it's not surprising the police box is still there. They will still be using it.

[Cletus]

A tradesman friend has been doing work on the new stand recently. I asked him if he thought it would be completed on time. He replied "no chance whatsoever".

Nope, they are paying £14m for it, or possibly more if Budget fancies a bigger kitchen in the cafe at the top.
