Knowing these ****s' they'll have a pin in the meter !

Will there even be a meter, or would they have got their chums in the council to classify Tiny Park as a tenement stair/street light supply?

You can't deny this is a good picture, one which puts our East to shame:

Attachment 19756

Damn it, know what you are right .... now you have highlighted it you can see the east bears no comparison, we should be ashamed that the east cant hold up to that .... I dread to think what the main stand at Tynecastle looks like if that's their version of Hibs east stand.

That's pretty bloody shocking ... I'm thinking of E Mailing Petrie and Dempster about this !!!

I love the curve, you can be outside and get from one end to the other much quicker than you can at Easter Road. That’s important.

It's all about the semantics.

Many important buildings, old and new, in Edinburgh have curved walls - Usher and McEwan Halls, Lyceum and Festival Theatres, Cask and Barrel to name a few. There's even a whole Georgian Street, Royal Circus. Shirley it's not too much to ask that the megastand also be granted World Heritage Site status?

As long as the "in situ" cherry picker is preserved and included in the listing, along with the police control box and the annual February cup tie (that Hibs win after a replay) then I am all for this

Faster anyway because the length of the pitch and run off combined is so much shorter/more atmospheric.

That’s true, I’m quite short and I’ve always considered myself to be quite atmospheric.

[Nicho87]

They're obsessed of us being obsessed with their stand 😂

[SRHibs]

Honestly, I think the stand looks fine. £15m fine? Probably not, but if it was neutrally coloured it would be one of the nicer stands in Scottish football. Their issue is that there’s no room for progression from here, unless they create a stadium from scratch. Conversely, if we continue to go from strength to strength then we can look forward to getting the corners filled in.

Which reminds me of another feature the yams' new stand has which our East doesn't - reduced prices for people with extraordinarily short legs (say 2 feet) and extraordinarily long upper bodies (say 20). Section T lower. They've thought of everything!

On brokeback they keep referring to the PBS as a cauldron. Cauldrons are, of course, curved - so that's important too.

There are also a lot of curvy bits on their badge. Unfortunately the templates they used for the monoblocs and seats were printed out from a PC with an 8 bit graphic card that Budgie kept back when she flogged her IT business.

"I would just like to say I'm sitting here feeling very proud, with a wee tear thinking of how great our club is. I can only see positive things in our future.... Roll on Sunday when I take my seat in the new totally gorgeous stand and applaud all who made it happen. "

FFS! Whatever next.

Probably a few years of mediocrity seeing as they are skint and have a squad of unhappy players

Be sure never to sit in the north end of the megastand then, as you'll have to walk the whole length of the ground to go for a pish in disabled toilets. That's about 60 metres.

Are we to believe that it may be less than 24 hours notice given that this match will be allowed to be played? Where on earth is the SPFL board in this ongoing farce? There should have been a ruling days ago!

Just for living near the Omni Centre since it was built and not knowing whether or not it's curved, that's the only thing. Have you imagined something else?

Definitely curved (as is the John Lewis building opposite):

Ach, what's wrong with that, his club have indeed replaced an aging death trap not fit for purpose with what will eventually be a perfectly acceptable new stand, which will complete Tynecastle's shoe box appearance .. I get why he would be proud of that to be honest.

What brings a tear to my eye is the delusion of so many Yams who try to convince themselves that what is a basic stand is God's gift to football architecture. The outside is a bog standard office block and the seating deck is no better than our east or their own Wheatfield and lacks the finer points you would expect to see in a 'main' stand when it comes to corporate seating areas, press areas and their directors box.

So yes, Hearts are due a large amount of credit for finally building a new stand .... for what they have built, not so much.

Story in the Sun where Partick manager is having a go at the tramps for putting money before fans and that the game should just be played in front of just 3 stands.

Can't post a link, sorry.
