Agree.

It really is the sort of thing you encounter amongst the amateur and part time clubs down here who need to raise funds just to keep going.

What makes it worse here is they are being soaked for extra cash already with their double whammy on ticket prices, cake sales, funless fun days and plastic seat back sales.

This Cow business is worthless in the grander scheme of things and does more damage to the big teams credibility than it is probably worth, whats the most it will raise? A couple of grand? At what cost? It exposes the amateur business plan that has been embarked upon by their board, it underlines just how badly underfunded the whole project is, it highlights to the watching football world the utter incompetancy of the entire club from top to bottom, clueless board with a possibly suicidal business plan, clueless director of football, clueless head coach, clueless fan base and a squad of players who have become de motivated by this complete shambles of a club. They are now a joke club better known for begging from their fans and bumping their creditors than for any sporting value they may once have had during the cheating years.
A period of decline is inevitable for them and with Hibs on an upward trajectory it is clear that the balance of power is changing in the capital and the cash cow will come to symbolise the depths to which this once proud club has plummeted since they opted to embark on a policy of spending beyond their means way back when Mercer took over. Karma has arrived at Tynie at last. The Karma Cow.

[QUOTE=City of Green;5062360 funds to finish the new single tier main stand that big clubs have.[/QUOTE]

That can't be right. The new stand will have at least 4 tiers, more than any other in Scotland. It's just that only Hearts fans can see them. To the rest of us it's just one tier. Some kind of magic or sorcery I suspect.

I mean, for some reason they claim the other 3 stands have 2 tiers on the basis that they have a wee walk way to help folk get to their seats.

It's quite amazing whats happened in the last couple of years. The way our clubs have reversed.

Yes, the way the club stiffed many local businesses was disgusting, but in the aftermath, the way the fans raised money was tremendous TBF, and Budge and Levein quickly dealt with Locke and the dead wood, and put together a team that excited the increased crowds at tynecastle. They dealt with the championship with ease, and looked like they were on a roll. Season tickets continued to stay high, and they consolidated themselves in the top half of the Premiership.

Meanwhile, although things had improved in the wake of our dreadful relegation, we were now dropping points in silly games and getting frustrated at how many games we dominated without getting the win. Our season ticket sales were around 8k and attendances were rarely over 9.5k

Then came February 2016.....
The 2-2 game at Tynie followed by the 1-0 win at ER really seemed to change the landscape. Hearts season was over and they really increased the pressure on Neilson. Hibs went on to win the Cup and all Hearts could think about was how Neilson had thrown it away. In a lot of fans eyes, he was now finished.

Last season started with Hibs Hibs bravely losing out to a decent side in Europe while Hearts limped out to some Maltese minnows. this added to the mood trajectory in each camp. Hearts then started the season quite well and with a 2-0 win against Rangers, they moved up to 2nd in the league. Then Neilson left and in came Agent Cathro. They started poorly under him but after drawing Hibs in the cup, a load of short term deals were brought in (Very Hibs 2010-2013) and they trounced Rangers. Spirits rose and they were now preparing to hammer their rivals in the cup. Revenge for the previous year. But in the first game the fans were completely outdone by the 3800 Hibs fans, and then back at ER, their players were completely outdone by the Hibs team. The role reversal was complete. The hibs fans continued to be buoyed by a decent cup run and went on the win the league, getting a fair few sellouts on the way and averaging aound 15k. Hearts finished the season with a Butcher-esque run which was only saved due to the points gained under Neilson.

Hearts now find themselves relying on former players being drawn to the club, and strikers from the English non league, season tickets are apparently WAY down on previous seasons, their Scottish talent is leaving in drovesand they are back to begging for cash. Hibs are back in the big league, season ticket sales look like breaking modern records, Nigerian & Israeli internationals are being brought to the club on permanent deals, and our core of Scottish players are being tied down and added to.

Pleasing, as a jambo might say :greengrin

Im no expert, but looking at the pictures, it seems to my untrained eye that it will be unlikely that new stand will be ready bt early september - 3 months to build a whole stand? Is ot feasible?

In one breath she's stating they can meet the budget overrun from club funds and in another she's asking for fans to sign up to raise £1m to fund the redevelopment.

At least it's all being tightly managed...

She's asked the SPFL for the 1st home game on this date

And Hibs have asked the authorities for many things over the years but I'm struggling to recall a time they accommodated us.

There's a lot of structural work going on behind the old stand. That picture in the news link is a few weeks old and doesn't give you any idea of the progress they're making with the steelwork.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I don't follow how she can say it all covered and at the same time talk about fundraising by fans, which is currently way short of target.

That's what I don't get either. Before announcing that the stand was going over budget they were already trying every daft scheme known to man to raise funds to meet a shortfall between what the had and the 12 million the stand was supposed to cost. With this latest announcement, which doesn't actually say how much over the original 12 million its going to go, exactly how short of the funds required to finish the stand are they?

I have no doubt they will have it functional by the target date ..... but how they can do that without it impacting on the player budget or the Budge having to dig into her own pocket is anybody's guess. If I was a Yam the first thing I would be asking is, with the club sitting on what's looking more and more like a financial knife edge, why the hell are we employing a director of football who is costing the club a fortune and failing in his job? :greengrin

[KeithTheHibby]

I don't understand how they cannot go and get a loan or mortgage to finish the stand.

They are hardly the basketcase club they were a few years ago and would expect them to be living within their means so rather than permanently having the begging bowl out surely borrow the cash and then pay it back like a normal business?

That's the question I would be asking if I was a yam.

However the EEN article states demo won't be complete until end of July and it will be open in time for first weekend in September, leaving not a lot of time to complete structure, roof, install bleachers/seats, install services and do a basic shell fit out (assume it will be a shell with nothing more than a chip fryer or two required?) and get it inspected and signed off with a certificate to allow it to open.

When you say steelwork progress, how long does it take to paint it all the right shade of pink? And is it just Ian Black and a paintbrush or has he got help this time :greengrin

Have a search on here for when we did the East.

It was amazing how quickly all the seats went in once the framework was up. Granted they've got a hell of a lot more to do with it being their main stand but most of it will be completed through the season.

The East is still a basic shell really, would be good to hear what plans we have for it.

[Jack]

Ticketus?

...........

Does anyone recall one of Buggies earlier epistles where the new stand and barbiecues (sp) were first discussed? I'm sure on the financial side it was mentioned the £12m included a contingency amount, as that was prudent! I wonder if this overspend has swallowed up the contingency and they're needing even more contingency?

My point was that if demo doesn't complete til end July and they have a completion date for first week in September that only gives them the month of august to complete it all and that seems bloody tight to me and you wouldn't catch me telling a client that was achievable ����

I assume: demo to complete, some concrete foundation works to go, steel frame to complete, concrete stairs / bleachers / planks to be installed, roof structure / finish, the worlds biggest curtain wall to go on and whatever other external skin it needs, painting, plumbing, electrical, lighting, fire systems, seats, toilets to go in, catering units to be fitted out, handrails to stairs, turnstiles, safe access formed to get into the place!

And all to be tested and signed off and a safety certification from council and fire brigade to be pulled together in 5 weeks? Nah... :)

Not necessaryily wrong , when they say things are do-able, it means it can be done.

Working 3 shifts a day and weekends could see the project completed rapidly but that would cost £££££'s.

You only have to look up the road and see the new Borroughmuir High School project. Three completion dates given out by project managers/architects/builders have come and gone and it's now going to be about 18 months late.

l'm out in the west coast off the states so ain't seen the pbs progress for a while but the decision to demolish the old stand after building the new one around it was crazy imho.

It is certainly going to be tight! I think they may have to play their first home games in Sept in front of three stands. That could cause pandemonium tickets wise. Very challenging timescale but I'm not complaining 😀

I know a bit about construction and make a point of passing their new stand most days and it looks to me like it's running behind schedule.
Their last game was weeks ago and I would have expected their old stand to be completely down by now but they are only just stripping the roof? I can't believe they think it will take until the end of July to get the rest down? When we built the east, we had our last game there and when we came back for our next home game it was gone. Couple of weeks, three tops.
It's also going to be more difficult for them to get the prefab concrete in now that they have the new roof trusses in already?
The steel work is the easiest bit in any build and makes it look like they are making great progress but they still have a long way to go with that especially if the demo of the old stand is going to take another 6 weeks.
One thing I've not noticed is if they have a main contractor or are they trying to self manage to save costs? That could leave them very exposed to cost over runs if there are delays (few jobs don't have delays). When we built the east we had a fixed price and that was it.

It looks like an awkward build to be honest. With the roof trusses up and steelwork at the back and no access to the pitch it won't be easy to get access to the front of the build with cranes.

The yams are building a concrete structure with the minimum support they can get away with and putting a cheap roof and sides on it.

They are fitting it out if the drones manage to fill the big maroon cow up.

There's no reason to assume they won't have a shell thrown up roughly on time, probably over budget hence the warning now.

I'm thinking about how confidently the talkers at the council talked about the tram fiasco and what the doers actually delivered and when. Different scale but you never know.[emoji1]

That's how a proper main stand is built with 2 tiers!

Driven past the yams new structure and actually thought it was smaller than the images and pictures shown online.

I'm still curious to see how the next few months go with building and funding - Budgie did say some time in 2018 it would be fully operational. Surely hospitality will need to be ready for new season in the new stand ?

Also hope the nursery gets sorted for minimal disruption for the kids.

Their new stand isn't anywhere near as high as ER stands.

I still find it hilarious they are spending so much on adding just a few thousand extra seats and the pitch is still the smallest in Scotlands top flight. They are stuck with this for many years to come !!

Instead of a main contractor they are using a project manager, Hardies. They set the program and appoint the various contractors to the project.

Budges brother was main contractor on the Wheatfield Stand work and I heard he will be involved in the fitting out work, if the cash cow delivers.

That's a pretty good video - never seen it before. It does highlight the challenges they'll face getting the concrete in for the seating decks. I've said on a few other threads previously that I can't believe they won't have to use the pitch at some stage during the process. Maybe they are coming up with a construction first. The way it's heading though I wouldn't be surprised to see remnants of the relic still in place come September.

I would imagine the problems with the dismantling of the old stand and the time its taking to do it relate to the Asbestos within it.

They couldn't start before the season end as they had no other facilities and that asbestos would have been a hazard when exposed and needed dealt with in one go rather than piecemeal.

The only way they can get the concrete pre cast in situ IMO is to do it in far smaller sections than ideal and it will be like a giant lego puzzle that wont be that stable in the years to come and will hopefully require high ongoing maintenance costs, although given the state of the rest of the ****hole I doubt they will bother.

The time lapse video doesn't show it but there did not seem to have been much preparatory work done to the ground behind the old stand prior to installing the steel to support it?

Its an awful lot of money to pay for a giant library / bus shelter

...finally, someone has out-radged the Donald :cb:greengrin

Actually, whilst there is no ****ing way any remotely, semi-sane individual could possibly work out what those mutant lunatics will do next, you can bet your last quid it will e so ****ing ridiculously stupid, embarrassing and cringe worthy that only the most deluded out there would fall for it. :thumbsup:

...meanwhile, back in the real world, businessmen and leaders of commerce across the globe are putting in orders for life sized, maroon cow banks with heart felt begging stories onboard as a new means for capital generation :thumbsup:

That looks like a pretty delicate operation due to the proximity of the new steelwork.

What would really muck them up is if they found some archaeology under the stand!

Probably too much to hope for :-)

Wow, the old stand was supposed to leveled weeks ago. You'd think it would just fall down actually.

September? No way!

Are they actually just rebuilding the old stand in non asbestos materials?

Looks exactly the same as it has for the last 100 years. So about 14 weeks to demolish the eyesore and build a new one complete with offices and hospitality and a roof terrace. Cutting it a bit fine.

Will Hearts face a fine if they don't manage to open in September.

If you can't there's a scrap metal dealer in Bolton got plenty just like it apparently. Pop down and take a look, maybe buy a used one, it's what the yams did.

I posted a wee bit back that a Jambo at work was told they were 3 weeks behind schedule with the demolition.

Looking at those photos I think he might have been right.

This is going to have problem after problem and time = money.

Delighted.

Cheap as chips apparently... unless you're buying them from the pbs, in which case they'll be gourmet triple-cooked and 'f*** me, are they really charging that for a poke of chips?'

Will be interesting to see how a material delay might impact them given they are back loading home games. A 4-5 week delay could be as many as 6 home games played without the new bus shelter open.

I am willing to bet the Budge will take the cash up front and delay that little gem of an announcement to latest point and then re-emburse the fans with mini cash cow's and a lunch with Hearty Harry.

I wonder how many games the beaks at the SPFL will give them if they are unable to meet the deadline they have been set??

I am hoping there are more delays costing them more money forcing them to play at the PBS without the mega stand??

Wonder if they have a contingency in place?

It's an even further attempt to cut down on costs they've decided that rather than PAY for it to be demolished they're just gonna wait for the wind to pick-up ......................

[fat freddy]

Im surprised that the asbestos roof hasnt been dealt with yet. That is a sizeable amount of sheets that need bagged and safely removed under strict conditions. If I were one of the steel erectors I'd take a holiday in the sun just now as its unlikely that Queen Anne has need of your services for at least a month.

They really don't want to lose that old stand do they. Probably thinking of ways to preserve it under the new seating decks.

That's not progressing well at all by the look of things.

Must be costing them a Fortune to Demolish it that way.... No Way Will it be Ready !!!! :thumbsup:

[Dashing Bob S]

I love the way somebody hit the old stand at the side and it was meant to collapse but they were scared to hit it again in case the skeletal rigging on the new stand crumbled.

[Baader]

Awaiting the next fans fundraisers... Buy your Hertz Sledgehammer (of Hibs) and help knock down the old stand. Maybe Budget can even squeeze the mugs to pay per kilo of demolition...

That looks a big job to complete in their timeframe. More away games at the start of the season should mean less points too..

[Dashing Bob S]

Seems obvious that the tramps have ran out of cash to pay the contractors anything more than a few beans to keep a skeleton team of two jakeys and a hammer banging away till the pub opens.

Probably yet another panicky fan beg soon. Budge must be losing interest now.

[Waxy]

Can see them asking the SPFL if they can play their first 16 games away from home.

So, how much is the old cow holding so far, 51 pence :dunno: :greengrin

Got out to wonder at the sense of spending £ 1 million on changing accommodation and ticket office under the Wheatfield when they could have used porta-cabins and part of their exec. club until the new pile was fitted out.

Is that right about tailing off of action on site ?

Now is the time for maximum progress if there was any chance of meeting the deadline. Could be asbestos dust threat from the demolishion requiring other trades to be kept away, or as you hint failure to pay the contractors.

Fortunately / unfortunately I'm many time-zones away from Gorgie so unable to have a chat with the hard-hats on site.
