Hearts' New Stand Thread (Merged)

[Moulin Yarns]

I'm looking at these photographs and looking at the rake of the new stand, and is it just me, or a trick of perspective, but is there enough room between the pitch and the stand for the seating to continue to ground level at the same angle? my impression is you won't see the near touchline from the seats at the back of the stand.

It must be a trick of the light!

These dressing rooms will remain in place for use by teams/coaching sessions using the community pitch. I think Hearts ladies will also use as their home

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

The planning conditions for the Wheatfield changing rooms are they get closed after the new stand is complete or maximum 3 years time.

Still they ignore all other planning conditions, so they will no doubt get to ignore this one as well.

[Moulin Yarns]

　
1 The use of the building shall cease upon the completion and occupation of the redeveloped main stand (in the event that the main stand is redeveloped) or, in any event, by no later than 3 years from the date of the grant of planning permission

Reasons:-
1. In the interests of the health and safety of occupants of the building in relation to its proximity to the neighbouring major hazard site at the distillery.

[Sioux]

Observation: Does the new structure look similar to Edinburgh Airport Terminal? To me it does, so can we have a new name to replace the PBS?

Maybe that would be plane stupid.

[BSEJVT]

I think the PBS is a great and belittling name for that ****hole and is able to be proclaimed on any social occasion without causing other than the offence it is intended to cause. I.e. no bad or inappropriate language.

Leave it alone

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.

I have to laugh thinking a team that hasn't kicked a ball and nobody has heard of is building a stadium that makes the Tynie look hilarious. They call themselves 'the famous'.

Can you possibly just install a webcam, so we can watch the progress?






FWIW, while I think they're cutting it a bit fine as regards the deadline, I think the new stand will be a great improvement* on the previous structure.





* Although anything would be an improvement on that previous monstrosity.

Been following this thread and it's been a pretty hilarious read at times...

http://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index....dated/page-266

They were complaining about the type of glass being used...they were complaining about the stand looking like a 70's office block or the old building in front of the main stand. They reckon they will get Scotland games even though the pitch is too small and ER has a bigger capacity and better facilities.

They now have the issue of the Skyline Lounge not getting the full city / castle views as shown in the pictures before as the High School blocks the view

60 days and counting till the opening game v Aberdeen......someone is going to be putting in some long hours to make sure it's ready on time and also safe!!

They play Newcastle on Friday night and the visitors are meant to be in the Roseburn stand.

If they can host a friendly they can play league games!

aHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA the views looking outwards from their new hospitality suite are hilarious.

So, from hospitality, you can't see the pitch (as the suite looks the wrong way) AND you can't see the castle.

All you CAN see is the High School and the (Ann) Budget insulation works of the balcony.

If anyone can repost here the images from that thread on sickback of (i) Hearts pre-application images of the castle skyline view and (ii) the *actual* shan view of the High School [no castle] they are well worth a giggle, to compare and contrast! Hearts fans have been taken for a ride here

Haha. That's hilarious. As for timescales, still a lot of chat from folks close to the job that there is no chance it will be ready for the Aberdeen game.

TBF, I can actually make out the top of the Castle (I think), just at the right end of the school roof.

Bit of a cheek calling it the Skyline Lounge though

Now they are even making comments that when its finished their hole will be more imposing and spectacular 'if that word can be used for either stadium' than Easter Road .............. I wont deny any bias on the subject, but c'mon have a look at these two pictures and tell me the depressing and dull looking object in pic 'A' is better to look at than the fine upstanding bright looking object in pic 'B'

I had a blether with a couple of the Hardie's guys ( they're the contract managers ) last week. One of them was just back from Korea as he had to go out and make sure the seat decking units got put on a boat asap.

These units comprise two thin sheets of steel with a sandwich of polyurathane resin in between shaped to the profile of the stand seating area. They are in containers in the middle of the Indian Ocean I'd guess, and will need to be docked ,off-loaded , transported to Gorgie and fitted before any seats can be fitted.

Anyone any idea how long it takes for a container ship to travel from Korea to Yamsville ?

The High School Lounge...

The comparisons make me laugh too - they use old pics of ER with no new East Stand or back of the West Stand with no badges on stand etc to compare.

They need to remember ER can still be expanded / changed / built onto if required - like the corner of the East and North Stands.

The PBS will be finished and stuck with a pitch smaller than most Lowland League teams! and seats that have minimal leg room for the ever growing human being!

I agree ...... but that's the point, that picture of the Asbestos Arena is as good as its going to get for them, Easter Road already looks better and when the day comes when the corners are filled in ... and it will come ... it will be like comparing a back green to Princes street gardens
