To me that looks like it's going to be 33 rows of seats from top to bottom, that's the same as our East Stand. Now our East has 210 seats per row.
So minus the exits, disabled area and the unused TV gantry up the back, we are left with a stand capacity of just over 6,400.
So with their new stand also containing 33 rows but slightly shorter in width so fewer than 210 seats per row... Just how on earth will their stand have a capacity of over 7,000?
Methinks they are at it and the under reported final capacity of 19,600 is closer to the mark.

I just can't believe they are building a stand in 2017 based on a design from around 25 years ago. It would be interesting to see a breakdown of spending.
The office block bolted on to the back must account for 75% of the cost and the actual stand will be comparable to our East.Last edited by Renfrew_Hibby; 11-10-2017 at 08:30 PM.

It'll be big, bigger than anything we have seen before, just don't get to hung up on actual numbers and where they are shoehorning seats in then counting them. When they are all in place Scott Wilson will be doing the official seat count then Mrs Budge will do a big reveal by way of one of her sermons from the mount, spelling and grammar check free. If they come up short she will just lob 6.5% on top, its a number she knows she can get away with.

They will probably count all the seats in the 70s office block too.

As well as all the seats stuck behind the police box, there are also a number which are, quite literally, directly behind the girders. Who the hell would buy a seat in a brand new stand that gave next to zero view of the pitch.
Do we have any such 'squeezed in' seats at ER? It looks to me from this pic that there are walkways/steps at the end of the stands, thus ensuring that nobody's view of the pitch is compromised:

I wonder what old budgey will say in her statement when she announces the mega stand is delayed again...
Despite everyone working to the best of their abilities and everything going to plan, I have to admit it is all my fault. I forgot to order the potatoes for the chips. If we had ordered the potatoes on time then the stand would have been fully finished with all food outlets ready to serve the most gullible fans in the world.
Due to my oversight we have now adjusted the timetable on our new UEFA compliant stand and if it wasn't for the potatoes we would be cracking on at full speed. Due to the new timetable we have been able to slow progress down to a more relaxed pace in order to now tie in with our revised date.
Feel free to guess any more of her statement!

They're going to be a in a real hole if they have to find somewhere else to play in November with Murrayfield unavailable due to Scotland rugby internationals.

Things will progress further once the Newco money is in the bank.
It all reeks of amateurism. They are putting the seats in to up the capacity when really it looks like at least a couple of hundred with no or restricted view.
It’s what big famous teams do.

Lifted from Kickback:
"Its still a dump to me - I rarely go but took my daughter to the ICT semi final there and it was a soulless wasteland. The spaces between the stands kill any atmosphere".
I recall watching that game on telly and the guy is right, it did seem soulless with no atmosphere. Mind, when you cant sell all your tickets and you are part of a group of fans who cant generate an atmosphere inside their own ground, never mind anybody elses, I'm not sure why he was surprised.
Still, its easier to blame the gaps between the stands eh
This is exactly why even though their ground is quoted as the most atmospheric in Scotland the actual Hearts fans never get mentioned in the same breath ...... they are so absorbed in how 'atmospheric' their stadium is they forget that its not because of them, as proved by the fact that nobody ever mentions them as a great home or away support.
