To the point of this thread. Does anyone have an exact number to put on their capacity? Even a ballpark exact number?

The capacity is supposedly 20,099 - at least that's what I read somewhere.

Which is why I was asking for a more truthful figure.

Don't know exactly but Scott Wilson says it's going to be the biggest football stadium in Edinburgh

[Sioux]

There's a thread over the road comparing the new stand with Anfield. It's getting f*****g mental!

"the new stand at Liverpool is an ugly, red brick giant (IMO). It's a huge improvement on what they had previously but it is far from pretty.
I was in Edinburgh last week and went for a look at the new stand : I think we'll win aesthetically , hands down. It may not be bigger but it is far more imaginitive and better looking. "

"new stand (Anfield) is all about corporate and what money corporate money can bring in.
I now believe if the final finish and interior at Tynecastle Stadium are what we believe, the stand will be worth everything that supporters and senior management have put in to it and hopefully the future income will enable us to have a team that we all deserve."

Sorry Muppets but you are already well on the way to getting a team you all deserve - it's just not reached rock-bottom yet .................................. but it will ......................

Emmm... So it's done then

I think someone is letting their 'imaginitive' run away with itself.

They don't have a clue what the final finish and interior will be. Dependent on whether the red coo is filled with notes, coins or something uniquely yammish.

A lot also rides on the auctions and the basic stupidity of the drones who are being asked to shell out for discount cards, guaranteed seats and all the other tricks the snake oil salesman are currently working on to raise cash for the fit out.

Have they given up on the "special relationship" with Liverpool already?

How can the yams compare the two? That artists impression of Tiny makes the new stand look really low. It must be quite deep.

[Waxy]

Steamy windows........

Latest pics from the hole today. The main block bolted on to the back of the stand where the glass curtain will proudly stand is fairly deep. Some glass already in there. I didn't get a pic of that though.

[Bostonhibby]

Two John Robertson lounges in the bottom picture by the looks of it as well. Presumably the chips are sold through the window hole.

Is that the terrace angle on your second pic at the top? Looks like it's going to be very steep

Difficult to work out which is the new build and which is remnants from the Queen Victoria Shed.

[Velma Dinkley]

The trees look nice. The rest is so bland it's hard to believe they actually had an architect involved at all.

Yes. The pitch of the seating deck looks pretty steep.

[GreenLake]

It won't have a pool though - but I think we can say that's a good thing with their issues.

Seating finished by end August the news says. You're having a laugh even if they had the money.

Where is the hotel going?

i made the understandable mistake of looking at the first photo first and thought..Mmmm have to hand it to our pink chums that it does indeed look not too shabby at all



THEN i looked at the bottom one and saw the dark pink badge and reality hit

[CapitalGreen]

It must be galling for Hearts fans to think they were supposed to end up with the below 10,000 seater but are now just getting a replica of the Wheatfield Stand with some more expensive seats added.

Cracking pics. Did you get into the site or did someone take them for you? I popped by yesterday and a steward type guy took the pics for me. Did you see the birth of the beautiful curtain?

The guy told me demolition of the relic is expected to be complete by 15 July.

I lifted them from kickback.

So it's not the megasuperhotelstadium that the believers were drooling over when Vlad sent the pile of boxes full of plans to the council?

The council did a feasibility study and everything, where did it all go wrong?

It went wrong when the council got involved. Oh, and Vlad and Hearts. Wonder how much the council spent on them for that nonsense.
