Hearts' New Stand Thread (Merged)

Reading Ann Budge's (as ever, long-winded) explanation of Lafferty's return to Rangers today I thought the following was more interesting that hearing about how the player was dead set on leaving:

"The move will also allow me to return my attentions to progressing the development of our new, multi-million pound main stand."

Is she effectively admitting here that all work on this has stopped due to lack of cash? How long has this thing been in development for now? Must be approaching the second anniversary of the demolition teams moving in.

What does that equate in tons?

Two Hearts supporters meet in the new multi-million pound new stand...

“Oh hi, good to see you again. How was your summer?”

“Very good. Just back from my multi hundred pound holiday.”

“Well I’ve just taken delivery of a multi thousand pound new car.”

“Very nice. Have you tried one of these new multi pound pies?”

Cretins.

"Yes I was stuck in the pie queue behind one of the Police"

"Sting?"

"No I thought the multi-pound price tag on the pie was good value, but that's not important right now"

I remember updating their page a few years back - they had finishing 3rd in the league as a ‘major’ honour! 3rd???

Leave our Tennants Sixes Trophy victory alone! Don’t even think about it!

I just had a look at both grounds on Wikipedia, it says our surface is a desso grassmaster. I’m 99.9% sure we didn’t lay a hybrid surface a few years ago?? If we did, it’s nice to think we do these things without ****ing ourselves to sleep every night about a 2” piece of plastic-any they call us weird!

This is a Wikipedia myth I'm afraid. They are even less FACT than the .net ones.

I know we considered it, but decided against it in the end.

Yeah I was sure we didn’t. The pitch was in good shape all of last year and was ranked highly by all the players at the end of the season.

Have tried, several times. Along the lines of "this is disputed as no official capacity has been announced". Very quickly gets deleted by the editor.

Trick might be to insert the highest recorded attendance since stand opened - 19, 324 against us at the end of the season . It is on the wiki site.

Sorry if it's been covered but has the police box/studio been relocated yet? Heard it was this that was preventing the capacity reaching "over 20k". Saw they had just over 19k against Celtic so presumably not.

It's a multi-thousand seater stadium, that's the main thing. Quibbling over a few hundred here or there, that's something that wee teams do. Hearts' Park is the biggest stadium in Edinburgh, in exactly the same way that more people attended President Trump's inauguration than any other president's.

I tried that, along with challenging the original source for the 21,900 figure - a newspaper report that, published before the stand was built, saying the new stadium "will"hold that amount.

I couldn't care less if they have more seats than us, or not. What I find amusing is that it is so important to them, until it's proved that it's untrue, then they come out with the "we never cared anyway".

I see work has restarted on the outside play area of the new Tynecastle nursery in Mcleod Street.

It was held up because of a dispute as to which party had to cover the cost of the work, Hearts or the Council.

I'm guessing the Council caved in.

Bigly. The greatest stadium in the history of the planet. A+

So, would I be right in saying that they have a multi player squad?

Or the council won and Hearts have got the money to pay for it now

Is there a way to find out the cost of the nursery and who is paying for it ?

In typical yam style - finish own supporters bar first then let the local community (parents/kids) and nursery suffer - can't believe it's not ready yet

From the Nursery newsletter...

So with the plans to put the studio into the side lego bricks within the plans have these been scrapped with the TV studio added to the back of the stand with no planning plans for that one yet!

So it’s not even a case of crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s.. half of them are missing!

Talking to a work colleague today. He lives in McLeod St. His block of flats has sustained damage during the construction to the tune of 80k. There’s a bun fight going on about who pays for the repairs. It happened during the driving of the piles.

[tynehibs]

That sounds very very nice 😊

I remember posting about the crack appearing in the gable way back in Jan/Feb 2017 when the piling was taking place.

I also remember the work was started before the building warrant had been issued. Their insurance cover could be void .

Bang goes the Laughatme bonus.

Ironically the boys a Jambo and the conversation started round the Lafferty cash and him and his neighbours wanting a slice. He did mention that Hearts or their building contractors should have done something that was certificated or recorded in some way prior to start of works. Hearts were to provide the proof that this was done. It’s been met by a big fat silence and nothing forthcoming and the obvious conclusion it wasn’t done. He’s not a happy bunny and his personal slice of the bill was nearly 8 grand. A bulge in the top of the gable was indeed mentioned.
