Hearts' New Stand Thread (Merged)

[007]

It is now appropriate to stop calling it their "new" stand and start referring to it as the main stand or the rusty stand.

Apparently the roof is leaking as well.

Away down in Gorgie
At Tynecastle Park
There's a wee bit of rust
That'll never look smart

They’ve built a ***** stand from lots of cheap parts
There’s nae other team to compare with the Hearts

Away doon in Gorgie
On the dark side of toun
There's a rusty bus shelter
That's painted maroon
It smells like a toilet and the rats are a plague
And the whole thing was paid for by the good Lady Haig

T-H-I---E-V-E-S and if you cannae spell it then here's what it says

THIEVES THIEVES scoundrels and thieves
They've stole from the half of the toun
Their fans are a blight and the fitba team's *****
And the whole thing will surely fall doon

This is their story, this is their song
No matter what Hearts do, they'll still do it wrong
Their sister's their aunty and their brother's a thief
And will always be mastered by the boys from down Leith

Panic over !!

"It’s a presentational issue rather than structural at this point and looks easy to fix". According to one of the admins on JKB.

I thought they had ordered second hand steel from some place in Bolton

That’s what I thought too!

[Bostonhibby]

If they're not careful they'll be leaving every home game with even bigger brown stains on their trousers than usual.

The majority in their brown corduroy strides should be okay.

we have a new song for the derby

[SirDavidsNapper]

Tynecastle stadium/park whatever they're calling it these days is a ****hole. It's been a very poor stadium literally all my life. Cheap pink faded seats, cracking brickwork and rusty steelwork then there's the 3 older stands.

Six percent she charges she only charges you clowns six percent. Repeat or add ?

Thomaso as far as I can make out is an expert in installing glass curtains. Windows to you and I. He is however being accepted as gospel on all matter relating to stadium construction.

I don’t see what the big issue is here. They bought cheap steel so that it instantly matches the other three stands. Quite clever really. Tynerustle Stadium.

This is a belter. Possibly my favourite so far.

FFS Jambos this thread should have been wrapped up months ago, but you just keep on with the comedy.

What an absolute shower.

Steady, that might exacerbate the corrosion issue.

According to Thomato heid these snagging things are to be expected ;

"The new main stand was a huge and complex construction which presented many design and logistical challenges."

Even Alastair Campbell couldn't put a positive spin on how they've handled building that stand.

Bumped into a our former Club Secretary in a pub in Corstorphine a couple of weeks ago. Decent guy who I've not seen in ages. Had a good football chat and conversation came round to Easter Road and the Training Centre. Found out that East and West Stands plus the Training Centre were built for about the same ££ as its cost Hearts to build their Main Stand. Before heading back to the wife, who was giving me daggers, I told him Easter Road was looking great, thanked him for a job well done, bought him a pint and asked him when he was coming back to finish the corners! He just laughed but did say that it was actually something he'd future proofed into the design.

To be fair to him he even bought me and the wife a drink before he left.

Must have cost a fortune to get all those little brown speckles on the steel.

To be fair that bolt looks to be decent quality. Not clear what it’s purpose is mind but it’s a decent looking bolt.

I don’t think he done the curtain walling at Tynecastle, the company that done it was henshaws, just round the corner from Tynecastle ,

The inclusion of the Foundation of Hearts thing is like it is saying "This is what we've spent your money on folks."

THIS - printed/photo-copied/hand-written whatever and passed around now - imagine a packed Easter Road belting THAT out in full-voice on the 9th of March 2018 ??. The chorus alone will be enough to send the pink scarf-twirling, 'Girls of St.Trinians', 'Jolly Hockey-sticks' support over-the-edge completely !!

The only change I'd suggest would be to replace 'scoundrels' with '****-bags' - 'scoundrel' being a bit establishmentish !.

Gotta hand it to that Thomaso guy on kickback.

When work started on the stand he was involved with installing the windows, nothing else.

Since then he has become an expert in structural engineering, lighting, acoustics, steel work, paint, H&S, project management etc etc.

They hang on every word he says and anyone questioning him is obviously a vermin troll.

He learnt all that in the under 12 months.

Impressive.

Not bad for someone who actually works in their ticket office eh...😉😉😉
