Stunning, absolutely stunning ............ The joke is that if they hadn't waited and waited and waited for all those years and allowed their club to be run by crooks and charlatans they could have had something like that instead of a stand out of page one of the 'basic stand' catalogue. Mercer had enough money to try and buy Hibs, but apparently not enough to improve the asbestos arena.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Is their new stand single tier? And if so, am I right in saying they ripped into us for building a single tier stand? (A single tier stand that isn't even our main stand may I add)

Fatty Foulkes claimed that when the new stand is finished it will give their stadium the finished look.
Just like their team it's had that finished look for years.

Did Foulkes bid for a bath because he sure could do with one

The back of the stand looks like a 'greenhouse' and has a lovely green hedge surrounding it. The reality is it will all probably look pretty shabby very quickly.

Wow! Look how steep the rake of that stand is. That tumbling jambo from a few years back better sit near the front.
It gives me vertigo just looking at it.
At least they won't need to worry about someones head being in the way. They could all wear their dunce's caps and still see the wee tatty patch.

Latest pics. Finishing and being ready to host Aberdeen in 9 weeks time is going to be quite some achievement.
And their new changing rooms look crap as well.

That's a fire door being propped open in the last pic.
I'm phoning the council in the morning.

Youd think theyd still have to put foundations in under where the old stand was.

That's 2 tier in Jamboland. Just like when you get tickets for Roseburn "Upper" and "Lower" and all there is to separate these 2 tiers is a bloody walkway!!

Where do all the directors, guests and press go in this time? Have temporary facilities been provided for this as well? Would involve quite a few season holders getting moved would it not?
Looks a lot to be done in 9 weeks, but it can often be a surprise how quickly these things get thrown up.

Look at all the steel in the structure. It looks like the rooms in their new hospitality areas will have metal supports through it every 10 meters or so. They really have went for the cheapest option. Scaffs

If the majority is precast then it will take shape pretty quickly, after that the roof can go on but that doesn't really need to be finished for the deadline.
What could be a problem is the basic amenities being complete like toilets, disabled toilets, lighting and emergency lights, disabled access, fire alarms along with the complete fire strategy plan which are all warrantable items.
Also, it depends on how the building warrant has been submitted and if it has been suitably staged to allow a partial opening without the stand being fully complete in the corporate side.
I don't think CEC are issuing temporary inhabitation certs anymore so they may have to go for a full one which means they will have to have everything fully compliant and operational based on what has been submitted at warrant stage.

Steel frame and precast concrete is probably the make up of all modern stadiums in the last 20 years.

I don't think (could be wrong) an amendment to warrant can introduce or reduce building warrant stages once the initial plans have been submitted, more to be used for material changes and / or layout changes.
If the fit out of the stand was submitted as a whole and as a single stage then they may have an issue to gain a inhabitation certificate if sections of the stand are not fully are not complete from a warrant point of view.

What happened with the complaint (Building warrant ??) someone had raised with the council about the work being done at the PBS, it was about a month ago - no-one really knew what it was about or for ?

The complaint was that they have not been issued with a Building Warrant to even start the stand construction. The conditions of the Planning Permission was that they were not meant to start work on the stand until the safety work to the North British Distillery was complete ( that has only just got passed by the planners )
The second rule break was with the work at the Wheatfield Stand. There is a Building warrant Issued for that work , but no completion certificate or certificate for partial occupation been issued but they have been using the ticket office, shop and offices for months without the necessary permission.
The complaint which was made at the beginning of March is " pending consideration " on the desk of planning officer David Givan.*
Our Council in the Yam pockets per usual.
* Apologies to Mr Givan , he was the planning officer who issued the planning permission, its a Brian Fleming who is meant to be dealing with the breach of conditions complaint.Last edited by greenginger; 06-07-2017 at 08:50 AM.

A link to the picture of the new temporary tunnel is below which involved the removal of some seats in the Wheatfield and therefore temporary movement for the season ticket holders affected
