They are telling Hearts that the council won't be "to blame" if the match is postponed.
In reality, the SPFL won't allow this to run into Sunday morning.

From Allisbarry, Budgies mouthpiece.
Other areas of the structure must also be completed but the Council are keen to do everything to help Hearts.
The Glasgow club enjoy a cordial relationship with their Gorgie counterparts and the Evening News believes they would not be unduly difficult to deal with over a possible postponement.
It will increase Tynecastle’s capacity to more than 20,000 people.
Dearie me !!!

Now Barry.
Even if Hearts are allowed to play at Tynecastle this weekend, it's not going to be 'finished' is it? Not even Budge is claiming that.

And they're still peddling the 20k capacity nonsense

It's like one of those grand designs where some pompous battleaxe decides that because she has run a succcessfull business selling snow to the eskimos that she can run a complicated construction project without bothering to pay for an architect, a QS and a project manager and we all sit around laughing as Kevin McCloud* climbs through the shell of the building, half buried in snow and long abandoned since the owner fell out with the contractor, ran out of money and forgot to order the windows...
* In this story, Hibs.net is Kevin McCloud, Ann Budge is, ummm, Ann Budge and the windows are actually seats

I would expect a statement today. Usually they are published around 11am or 5pm.
With all the talk in the media and fans forums surely the yams will confirm today if the game is on or off.
For travelling fans / local fans and everyone working on the day you would think they will announce the outcome.
If they don’t - then they are an even bigger shambles of a club than one can imagine.
If they postpone the game last minute then they should face severe consequences for not being able to find a venue to host a game as planned atthe start of the season. If they blame it on health and safety and get away with it - it’s another sign of Scottish Football being run by muppets.
It seems they will host on Sunday but I can imagine many teething problems (turnstiles for example as we found with new system when implemented). They are desperate to get people inside to try make some money back (plus they don’t have a plan B).
Overall they remain such an amateur club and even spending £14 million can’t fund class. Can’t wait till they realise they won’t get over 20,000 and still have a funding gap to sort in the near future which will affect the already dire playing squad.

Seeing as it's basically a copy of their Wheatfield stand with a very basic office block tacked on the back of it, they probably thought it would be easy.

It would cost them money but, tough, it's a situation of their own making.Last edited by hibbymac; 15-11-2017 at 09:25 AM.

I've said before on this thread that for a living I buy and sell properties. I have a property on sale just now in Edinburgh that has had 2 offers fall through on. The reason is purely and simply City of Edinburgh Council.
every lawyer, surveyor, architect and property professional knows the council planning and building standards are in meltdown. Short staffed and far too much work.
i know a guy who's building warrant has been shipped out to Argyll & Bute council. So if they need to have a meeting with their Building Standards Officer they need to go through there.
i have been waiting 14 months for a building warrant. Was told to start work before it was in place. Now I have been waiting 6 months for warrant sign off and now I'm told 2-3 months for a site visit.
How on earth the council have the resources to be on site several days this week and advise hearts is disgusting.

The creative approach taken by The Herald almost makes the AB Arena look good.

How can they do it for Hearts? I guess the answer lies somewhere in the mindset that says it's okay to let them accrue tens of thousands of business tax debts and do nothing to diligently pursue it.
You know why they need all that corporate entertainment space in the school view lounge.

I'm sure the morons think that's what it actually looks like.

Obviously, they'd have to pay for any damage. That would be in the hire contract.

A couple of points from this story:
"COUNCIL chiefs in Edinburgh say they will make safety officers available throughout Friday, Saturday and Sunday..."
Given the flak the council take over spending cuts, health and social care, parking, leisure facilties, education, bin collections, potholes etc does it not seem like skewed priorities to devote such resources to ensuring a shambolic football stand project gets over the line?!
"All concerned remain hopeful work will be completed in time and a temporary certificate granted to allow the match to go ahead as planned."
Maybe somebody in the trade will oblige with some info, but what is a 'temporary' certificate? I didn't realise there were halfway house measures when it comes to safety ie 'it'll do for now but it's not permanently safe'. Surely it conforms to safety regulations or it doesn't?

If the game gets postponed, more embarrassment for Budgie.
But probably a better outcome for her than letting the media etc see their half-finished Basic stand up close.

Re HIBS 4185 & BOSTON HIBBY'S POSTS ( #7584 /#7590) I run a home improvements company and can echo exactly what they have said; trying to get any kind of action from EDC is an absolute farce on Building Warrants / Planning / Visits / Inspections / Replies etc- by far the worst in the country. The Argyll & Bute thing is correct and I was told this week that Aberdeen council are now dealing with some things too plus Housing officers are being sent out to jobs,returning to the offices and saying "Not our department" which is adding to the delays. Yet, Hearts get to start the work without a BW in place ( remember that one,guys?) and now "Officers are in place to help" . I wish the rest of us could get that kind of service-amazing what happens when there is contacts around,eh?
