That is a month now since first prmised completion date. September 5th.

Still no sign of the seats.

The place is still a building site.

You couldn't make it up.

Obua on JKB says they arrived yesterday

He's also said

7289 seats installed in 24 days = circa 300 per day

I think this figure is too high - from what I can see the plans indidate slightly less than 7000, and that's with no special provision for executive seating or camera stands..

But even if we take his figure as gospel. that gives us

Main stand - 7289
Roseburn - 3396
Wheatfield - 5902
Gorgie - 3300

Total - 19887 maximum

It's funny that the official line is still 20k+.

Nearly there!

Erm - there's also the small matter of one end of the stand which has yet to be built.

Wow, how cheap does that look? If that's how all the seats are going to be fitted it looks like they will have to drill the holes individually for each seat ... its gonna' take ages

Unless of course there will be a rail fixture every few yards and the seats aren't actually bolted to the decking .... in which case they had better remember to cap the ends or when there's a goal you could go to sit back down and find your seat has fell off the end

Seats might go in quite quickly if they just all clip on to the rail, just needs a team of folks to install the rails ahead of the seats and another team to install the seats, then Ian Black to do any touch up paintwork to the steelwork and voila!

They red girders really tie the stand together...

That's just put there so they can see what they might actually get to sit on one day.

I bet Doctor Budge is phoning them up right now, to ask if they want to sponsor the new stand.

Racist? If I posted a blind white man would that be racist? What’s the colour of his skin to do with it?

Thought it was a bit sexist myself likes. Could just as easily have used a woman with a white stick to make the point.

Chips and classical music, an irresistible combination. I predict that Scott Wilson will be reporting a sell-out every week.

It's not a seat it's an erse receptacle.

At some point it will be occupied by an erse who paid for it, then paid a premium on top for the privilege, and will probably be paying for the stand it's located in indefinitely plus 6.5% interest to the one shareholder.

Even Stevie Wonder could see what was racist about that.

Everything is racist, your post was full of white privilege!

You would have been on safer ground with a picture of Peters & Lee. White skin, Male and Female plus the added bonus of one of them being blind and the other one sighted, they were the perfect blind joke couple in the seventies.

Some people on here should google the old tv programme "Love Thy Neighbour" if you want to see what used to be acceptable lol. PC has gone mad.......

That really was something else. Still can’t believe someone said my post is racist 😳 Nothing at all to do with the colour of their skin. Seriously worry for some on here.

Think that might not have been entirely serious.

Or watch an episode of Robins Nest, the Armist jokes about the wee dishwasher were shocking, the poor guy was ridiculed every episode.

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 05-10-2017 03:18 PM

It wasn't offensive at all, IMHO. How many times have you heard somebody say the linesman was Stevie Wonder etc? Come on, let's not be precious about something and nothing. Prejudice and discrimination are very different from what The Cat said.

Thread back on topic, please.......
