That’s where it was situated on Sunday for the Celtic game. In the Gorgie stand.
They are apparently moving it to the Roseburn stand for our game on 27th.

See separate thread about the additional restricted view tickets for us going on sale Tuesday morning.

On the positive side, could all the press guys not shelter underneath it when the rain starts? Got to be better than getting soaked like before.

Just surprised they didn't offer us another ten or fifteen tickets thereabouts whereby squeezing more money out of our fans by allowing us to sit underneath the shed thingy. They seem to have missed a trick there.

It’s the same box sky use at Easter Road. I’m curious how they got it into Tynecastle though?

Why are the front seats pinky/purple, and the seats at the back blood-turd brown?

To help recreate the famous old characterful atmospheric ground we keep hearing about?

Alternatively they couldn't afford to make them all the same?

Charismatic hand rails




Ceiling a work in progress





Some provision to assist with restricted view - maybe adding all those blocks together could help reach that magical 20K figure.

Cost now confirmed at AGM as being around £15m

main stand to reach £15 million Hearts chairwoman Ann Budge and manager Craig Levein arrive at Tynecastle for today's agm. Pic: Greg Macvean BARRY ANDERSON Email Published: 12:58 Tuesday 19 December 2017 0 HAVE YOUR SAY Hearts owner Ann Budge has revealed that the final cost of Tynecastle Park’s new main stand will reach £15 million. Budge told shareholders at Tuesday’s annual general meeting that anonymous benefactors have agreed to provide an extra £1.5m to help with the project. The initial cost to rebuild the stand was to be £12m, a figure revised to £14m earlier this year. Budge confirmed that stadium redevelopment is now expected to total £15m. Benefactors were initially giving £3m towards the cost but will now contribute £4.5m in total by the time work is finished at Tynecastle in summer 2018. “I thought we were looking at £14m, I’m now telling you I think we are looking at £15m,” Budge explained to shareholders at the 111th Hearts AGM inside the stadium’s Gorgie Suite. Budge predicted that the new stand will earn Hearts around an extra £1m income per year. She added that the board have the use of a £1.75m loan facility to help with costs and are intending to use at least some of those funds over the winter months. There are no plans at the moment to rename the new stand through sponsorship but this has not been ruled for the future. Hearts still hope to replace the Tynecastle pitch next summer with a hybrid surface similar to that at Murrayfield. Budge explained that the price for this will be between £850,000 and £1m. Manager Craig Levein also addressed the AGM and said he expects another six or eight youth academy players to sign professional contracts with the Edinburgh club next summer. That follows the recent progress of 16-year-olds Harry Cochrane and Anthony McDonald into the first team this season. Levein also insisted Hearts’ recruitment must improve after six out of nine players signed in January this year were released during the summer. “I think the recruitment was better in the summer than it was in January. We got a real fright in January, when mistakes were made,” said Levein, who was director of football at that time with Ian Cathro head coach. “We are trying to limit mistakes but I don’t think we’ll ever get to a point where we don’t make any. “I’m glad I decided to go back into the dugout (in September). At least I go home on a Saturday night exhausted from shouting rather than sitting in the stand frustrated.” A question from the floor asked Levein when Hearts would “stop being bullied by Hibs in derby matches”. The Easter Road side have not lost any of the last eight meetings between the clubs since August 2014. “Nobody has sat in that stand feeling sick more than me,” replied Levein. “We’ve been poor in derby matches in the last couple of years and we will be ready for the next one. I can’t guarantee we’ll win but we won’t be bullied, that’s for sure.”

That top picture can’t be an area used by the public as those handrails are literally a death trap, especially for young kids.

I don’t know how these things work but if anyone has passed that area for public use they need investigated or sacked. If the rules say that’s Ok then that’s outrageous.

You know, the Hearts Fans that just sat through a 4-0 win over Celtc the day after we were humiliated by Aberdeen, won't be caring a jot about what we think of their new stand.

They will if one of their kids falls through that handrail.

Besides...this thread isn’t for them.

Yep he had no say right enough they were bringing in guys like Stockton who no way on this earth Cathro would have wanted and the main agent was one of Potters best mates.

Think he said they wouldnt be bullied in the last derby also.

The new Guardiola was certainly getting about yesterday think I must have seen or heard him about 4 times during the day.

Commonly known as temporary edge protection.
Might meet construction industry regs in terms of height and intermediate rail, but certainly not suitable for public stair access. Assuming the photo in question is publicly accessed.
If this is masquerading as a balustrade I can't believe Building Control would see it fit for public occupation.

Its the extra corporate they will make over the season in the new white elephant.

As most of it will happen on home games (as opposed to functions) it works out at around £50k per home match - I have no idea if thats good, bad or if thats profit or top line??

For what its worth, Hibs are also doing fantastically well in hospitality this year. A bunch of us are going at the next Aberdeen match (17th Feb).

When we booked, Gallery was totally sold out and we are in The Clubhouse (same deal, different room).

I tried to add another name today and its completely sold out.

It’s for construction workers not the public.
