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

    Maybe someone has forgotten to order the nappies?
    Hmm... Genesis released an album in the 70's called "Nursery Cryme". Hope it will not turn out to be prophetic!

    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?
    It got laid and it looks good from what I’ve seen.

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

    The application for a Building Warrant to construct the new nursery was only submitted to the Council on 20th June and has not been issued yet.

    Suppose its only paperwork and of no concern to the Gorgie masterbuilders.

    To be fair, it's probably as much about the corruption and inefficiency of Edinburgh Council as some Yam conspiracy. The city is rotten from top to bottom.

    An example is Cammo. The bulldozers were doing groundwork, on the same day that the EEN was reporting that the builders were "hoping" to be given planning permission.

    The Ross Trust are on social media frequently discussing what their vision is for West Princes Street Gardens and how they are going to be staging a lot more events there. Problem is, they haven't even been given control of the Gardens, as future use is out for "public consultation".

    Public consultation is actually a questionnaire full of loaded questions, which is open to anybody from anywhere to complete, and can easily be answered more than once.

    This town stinks, so it's hardly any surprise that the Yams fly under the radar when it comes to playing the system. As far as the council is concerned they are diddy locals, not worth bothering about.

    I had the misfortune to be driven past the stand yesterday for the first time since it was built. Underwhelming in the extreme. It's a lot smaller than I expected and the supposed 'glass curtain' has been made to look a lot more striking by clever photography. I had thought the glass had some sort of reflective quality, thus giving it a uniform mirrored effect but in reality it's just a drab, grey windowed frontage. Office block with a Hearts badge stuck on the front sums it up. Quite how £13 million plus has been spent on this beggars belief.

    Should we still be calling it a new stand? A year old, still not finished but it's a year old or thereabouts.

    We could call it nearly new, used, work in progress, unfinished, half baked or part baked.

    Technically, incomplete newer stand might be more accurate.

    Not really. Your reply made me wonder too.

    Still, better than being called a yam. 😊

    I find it hilarious they still haven’t opened up the tunnel and new dressing rooms yet.

    Even the police control box which has been scaled back still has restricted view seats behind it.

    They love a half done job - Shambles F.C.

    Not at all convinced it will still be standing in 20 years.

    Some day, someone at Hearts will bite the bullet and rebuild from scratch or move the club and redevelop that site.

    Given the standard of design, re-design, workmanship and the amount of sticking plasters already applied... I give it 5 years

    Here’s the latest fantasy our Gorgie chums are creaming themselves over.
    Gorgie to the left, Wheatfield to the right.
    What they just cannae get into their heads that any proposal like this is just not structurally possible, given the essential nature of the floodlight pylons that hold the damn roof trusses up.

    You’ve got to laugh.

    They don't want to get too far behind their pals The Rangers in the Statement League for the new season.
