The new stand is less steep than the older stands.

But much steeper than the old Main stand. Poor old boy!

Serves him right for supporting Hearts!

[Famous Fiver]

When is the official opening?

I would have thought it would have been a glittering affair attended by the great and the good of Edinburgh society, royalty and World Cup stars.

Have I missed something?

To be fair to them, there pitch does look in good condition . If they sorted the seats which are faded then from a picture perspective the stadium would prob look half decent

I found myself passing by the Foundation Plaza at the weekend.

The temporary barriers have been removed. Well moved back closer to the brand spanking new mega structure.

What struck me was the absolute mess that is the plaza. Its covered in seagull **** and chewing gum. But worst of all are the weeds growing through. Mt driveway was laid by a bunch of cowboys over 10 years ago, but I still dont have weeds like that.

I would imagine the jambo faithful will be asked to turn up with a trowel on sunday for a mass clean up.

Surely they could pull in a few favours from the Council? They must be owed a few as they never EVER get preferential treatment to other businesses/football clubs.

Maybe they could move the unique atmospheric escalator to here where it might do some good, when they can get it to work obviously.

It will also be very dangerous for players running off the surface due to the slope and the limited run off area. Could be an impending safety issue.

As I recall its the same at Ipox, the front row seats are lower than the pitch, good if your an ankle man????

Weeds? Are you sure it's not just the saplings of the maroon trees we saw in the artists impressions of the new megastructure? The glass curtain wall can't be far away now.

It's inside the megastand so it's a reasonable assumption?

Never been to Tyncastle, damn I felt manky even passing the place and had to go home and shower any time I did. It was never enough.....

Never been back since then - I'm not bitter.

Glad this thread got a bump, one of my favourites. Will it ever be complete and compliant? Will they ever get 20k?

This thread keeps going until the daft project is finished.

Prepare for a long wait.

Apparently they're hanging fire to see if the English FA accept the joint bid with the SFA for the 2030 world cup. They'll have the grand opening for the World cup final. The FA are believed to be very keen to use Tynecastle instead of Wembly to attract sponsorship and investment to the UK which will filter down to England.

I just looked on the dark web, and turns out your idea is not so far-fetched.

I discovered that Eamonn Bannon, Steve Bannon's less hirsute father, is gently pulling the strings of the western world.

Having come to prominence during WW1 and again in 1986, Hearts are the obvious choice for a rogue militray-industrial complex plan.

Ann Budge is an anagram of "Banged UN" [i checked] which suggests the United Nations has cause for concern.

And as the "foot in the door" to bring down western democracy from within, if Trump/Pence had failed to reach Office in the West, then Vladimir Putin (who brazenly shares a first name with Romanov) had groomed Leslie Deans/Gary Medals Mackay to be the operational back up plan at the Edinburgh town Corporation.

If we get it, we’ll need to fill in the corners at ER to increase the capacity

The Roseburn Stand is the one we get. The Wheatfield Stand is the one opposite the 8th Wonderstand and the Gorgie Road Stand is the one with the Josef Fritzl Lounge.

The proposed TV shed in the support struts was between the 8th Wonder and the Roseburn. Now it will just be up the back of the new stand where some seats will have to be removed. Access to the TV area will presumably be through the usual vomitories.

I realised a bit later that I was having a brainfart and got mixed up with the Wheatfield

Easily done. They all look the same.

Faded pink seats and patches of rust

[greenginger]

Just passed down Mcleod Street and see some new construction work at the visitor turnstile block.

Looks like they've been forced to add the 2 gates they cut out as a money saver when the Budgie budget was beginning to spiral .

The approved drawings had shown 8 turnstiles for accessing visiting supporters but they thought they'd get away with 6. That caused problems with ourselves and no doubt the Weegie teams.

Adding the two new booths as an extra will double the price of their projected saving, another masterstroke by the good doctor

Although by the rusting manky appearance of the two new metal gate assemblies , they must have been acquired second hand .

[Carheenlea]

Can’t see another two making that much of a difference to the queuing and build up of fans in the holding area. One small single block of turnstiles all close together is what causes the congestion in my opinion. Just a duff and inadequate ground all round really.

[Ozyhibby]

The nursery that had to be finished in June is still a building site as well.

An extra 2 will make a decent difference. There will still be queues but should move a bit quicker. Still a dump though

[Famous Fiver]

Was the completion of the nursery due in June 2018 or an unspecified year?

Maybe someone has forgotten to order the nappies?

I'm sure Craig will have a stash somewhere... just in case

[CropleyisGod]

Apologies for being a lazy *** (I did skim through a few hundred posts) but did the EPL quality hybrid pitch get laid or did Harry Potter just go to B&Q for some cheap fertilizer?

[Famous Fiver]

Unfortunate turn of phrase there, Crops, talking about getting laid in the context of anything involving the Hearts hierarchy.

I think the hybrid pitch has perhaps been installed.

So, in your obviously blinkered opinion, do you think the unique, atmospheric and etc... blah blah blah stand will still be delivered on time, on budget, complianty with all the relevant sign offs in place before the nursery reopens?
