[PatHead]

Something on the SSN Bar about Hearts expect game to go ahead despite snow damage to "Main" stand. Anyone know about this and best way to sort said damage?

Hearts today began a clean up operation at Tynecastle after heavy snow caused damage to the stadium.
Ice and snow falling off the roof of the main stand has pulled down sections of piping and iron gutter.

[Pretty Boy]

There was athread about this on kickback a couple of days ago.

Some damaged guttering and roofing and apparently a burst pipe. Unconfirmed reports that the light bulb is still out of action as well.

I take it its the Asbo Stand that's been damaged.

Full health and safety inspection required, engineer's safety certificate update, oh, and its listed too,better let Historic Scotland know they've not been looking after their ancient monument.:devil:

I think Historic Scotland refer to ancient monuments that are owned by others as 'buildings in care', so does that mean they can be sued by HS for not taking care of it?

How can they tell?

[NAE NOOKIE]

I hear that any repairs will be put on hold until Time team have been allowed to have a look.

You would have thought it would cope with a bit of snow, given that it was built during the last ice age.

This damage was reported yesterday and would appear to be rather minor in nature.

Has anyone been down Mcleod Street to see if today's deluge has "IMPROVED" the situation. :greengrin

Even bus shelters aren't damaged by the snow. Nothing worse than finding ****** under snow. I pity the builders who have to repair that heap.

:bitchy: Nae chance, properly constructed, maintained and weathertight buildings are designed to erm, ahem................withstand the weather!

If they had paid the premium, there would have been a fire many years ago, a good blaze eliminates the inconvenience of proving whether the structure was maintained or in good or bad state of repair beforehand, not withstanding the weather when all around generally has, tends to speak for itself.

Pity they bought that bulb though, daylight will be streaming through now.

I imagine the contractors will be queueing up for this lucrative and prompt paying repair job.

apparently the club's official snowman got a doing...:greengrin

Ah, but it's got a gymnasium in it dontchaknow? State of the art (when Barney Battles was the man!)

[PatHead]

Shame it is only minor damage. By the sounds of it some old toilet roll holders and sticky back plastic should do the job. Whilst I think about it where is my old advent candle holder I made all these years ago with the non fire resistant tinsel and coat hangers

[NGP]

Surley the stand can take a bit of snow, after all it rebounded all the Nazi bombs straight back to the german bombers and kept Edinburgh safe, this is after it was loaned to the Navy (sailed by those brave Jambos) in the 1st world war as a battle ship that kept the Germans from invading.

[Ireallywasthere]

Part of the roofing fell under the weight of the snow and landed on a dugout, not sure that it's just minor damage. The game may yet be called off :wink:

[Www1875hfc]

Ah wonder if i could make it down to tynie before they repair the damage.
Ah've made up a wee time capsule, after all its been standing since 1914.:greengrin

What could be added to this capsule?
Hibs strip
zero 7 programme
Gary Mackays medals....ooops :faf::faf::faf:
A message from sir Albert Kidd
Petrol
A match :wink:

A huge skipful of integrity.

Joke of a stadium.

[The_Todd]

Big club, big insurance excess.

:hilarious

Enjoyed that. :greengrin

[Hibercelona]

I heard the asbestos got hit hard by the heavy snow fall and caught fire.

[sambajustice]

That stand won two world wars all by itself, you should be showing it more respect!

[Springbank]

thats a shame.

this stand must have seen the biggest crowd that Edinburgh has ever seen, being the home of the big team

oh, wait, whats that you say...the 65ooo were at Easter Road...surely some mistake...

[crash]

I remember last winter a lot of old barns collapsed under the weight of snow, still I hear they only need three stands these days:wink:

[NAE NOOKIE]

We wont be laughing when Vlad gives the go ahead for the new £50,000,000 quadruple decked super stand with bars and restaurants and royal box with attached Edinburgh super Hilton hotel including underground parking for 10,000 cars.

I also live in hope of the day when there will be a waiting list for season tickets at every Scottish football club.

Hmmmm. I wonder which will happen first :hmmm:

Damage or no damage I can't see any games going ahead at Tynecastle yet, I live just up the road and the roads and pavements are atrocious at the moment, side roads all still deep snow, only Gorgie Road itself is passable and after today's freezing temperatures, the pavements will be thick ice.

[Sunny1875]

well at the very least there wont be much football played at tynecastle for the foreseeable future but there has not been much played there in the past either

Why blame the weather ?

[oconnors_strip]

the flood lights were on at the stadium when i left work at 4.15pm, presume they were assessing the damage, no chance of repairs happening in this cold!

[AK86]

All together now.........

tynecastle is falling down
falling down falling down
tynecastle is falling down
Its asbestos

[El Gubbz]

All together now.........

tynecastle is falling down
falling down falling down
tynecastle is falling down
Its asbestos
Tynies going down like a russian submarine...

[Wotherspiniesta]

HAHAHAHAH....what a piece of ***** :lolyam:

Here's hoping for more snow! :thumbsup:

Perhaps they are hoping the floodlights will catch on fire like they did last season and melt the snow.
