Was thinking of Potter and Mrs Budge doing a cameo of steptoe and son to finally get those pesky seats rounded up.

A bit odd claiming a part of the High Street where everyone is supposed to have a good spit.

[Malthibby]

The civic amenity site at Stobhill :agree:

That's no' right; keep them the hell away from beautiful Stobhill (possibly only when compared to Tinycastle admittedly).

The Heart of Midlothian was the name of Edinburgh's debtors prison.

Perfect for those fraudsters. :greengrin

I am well aware of the history but the poster was saying the mosaic on the High Street should be the first and only club badge. It was never ours.


"I think the poster has now corrected you.

The point I was making is that our name and badge are woven into the historical fabric of Edinburgh - we ARE the team of Auld Reekie.

Our famous badge is based on that historic landmark on the Royal Mile, and although our unique Club name came from a dance hall, it is shared by the above landmark and with a renowned novel by the incomparable Sir Walter Scott "Heart of Midlothian".

Makes me proud".

It would be interesting on the hibs fans approach should they be playing the Christmas/New Year Derby at Murrayfield, which I suspect has a high probability. Would we take 10,000-15,000 to try create an awesome atmosphere but also generate a decent amount of cash or would we boycott it to stop them cashing in on the farcical situation they have created.

[hibee_nation]

First an only building i ever saw that looks worse the closer it gets to completion.

Shame they started off so well with their truss.

Little did the jambos know it was gonna be all downhill from then on :faf::jamboak:

Once its badged up and has the stadium name chucked on it will be perfectly acceptable and much better than the vast majority of Scotland's clubs have ... what it wont be is 'bonny' and to be fair I think even the vast majority of Yams are beginning to accept that.

Just had a wee laugh ...... Talk Sport is discussing Scottish football and a guy from Sheffield has just been on and said ..... "nobody cares about HIbs and whoever their derby rivals are" .... ignorant git, but it was still funny that he didn't know who Hearts are :greengrin

Seems they are now proclaiming that they now have a plaza. No one else has a plaza. They are the big famous team coz they've got a plaza. I wonder if this is the new comfort blanket now that the reality has set in that this new stand is not what was ordered - ie the biggest bestest stand ever.

This project is well behind schedule, no sign yet of seats, roof still to be completed, lower stand yet to be done and the gap between roseburn stand and main stand still a gaping hole.

Its hilarious really, this will drag on for months and months.

They presumably can't complete the lower steelwork as that would mean any machines used to complete the decking and the roof would have to run on to the pitch. I suspect that it will still be a quagmire by the time the thing is finished.

So once steel frame is complete they will have to finish the decking and roof from behind (or down the side) of the stadium?

I have a suspicion that Ann Fudge is about to announce an innovative concept of " Bring Your Own Seats". Being so forward thinking and ahead of everyone else its inevitable HMFC will be the first club.

She has struck a deal with this supplier aptly named for all Yams who want to buy and bring their own seat.

[GreenCastle]

Reality is hitting them that after all the money spent their crowds still won't be break 20,000 any time soon for a home game.

Regarding the unfinished work of the stand - none of them really know what the plan is...

Seats fitted first for upper sections or lower sections installed and then seats fitted...but gap of unfinished work next to police box.

Next few weeks will be interesting to see what they do - hopefully seats delayed even further :greengrin

[Deansy]

When it's finished, no doubt them being them, will have cooked-up some grand, big, glitzy opening-ceremony with all/any celebrities they can hire/their chums in the cooncil/ TV-Cameras/ fireworks etc, etc - so looking forward to their reply when asked 'WHY ?' the end-product looks absolutely XXXX-all like the blue-prints - perhaps the most important question - WTF HAPPENED TO THE BIGGEST GLASS CURTAIN IN SCOTTISH FOOTBALL ??.


That's presuming that, as it's not Huns/Septic, the Scottish Football media will actually ask probing/awkward/difficult questions ??.

The Glass is Always Greener stadium?

[fat freddy]

It has to be The Wernham Hogg Arena.

My source on site tells me that further delays are expected as they are having problems with the badly produced, cheap flimsy metal panels that the seats are to be fixed to.

There are gaps between the panels and they aren't joining to one another as expected. I said I had seen a picture, posted on this thread, of the poor joins but he said that was the tip of the iceberg, some of the gaps are huge.

He showed me pictures from his phone that would have the site shut down if the health and safety inspectors were to see what is going on behind the glass curtain. Corners are being cut all over the site and some really dodgy work is being carried out.

Again, I can't be too specific as my mate could lose his job if his identity was revealed but the info he gave me has left me in no doubt that this job is going to experience further delays.

Severe delays that will lead to another announcement.

Prepare for Murrayfield.

With these gaps gaps in the seat decking , how can it possibly provide the half hour or one hour firebreak between the seated level and the circulation area below.

The Tiny Library - most over rated atmosphere in Scotland - even their fans admit it.

So they're now getting all excited about their big monobloc crest. They seem to be doing a very good job of it but some of the over reaction is hilarious, eg. "This has been designed to look symmetrical from eye level.. Not top down.. Incredible attention to detail.. Can't help but applaud it. " - erm, it's centred in a square surround - incredible?

I think having the crest as part of their entrance is quite a neat idea.

However whats more important - in a normal world - is having a stand that can be inhabited, even if by mutants.

Someone (edit, it was you !!!) just up thread posted a pic of the East 5 weeks from completion, it actually looks ready to sit in.

I wonder when the announcement of alternative arrangements will be made by Budge?

Wait til they have another win or two under their belt and the radges across the road will swallow whatever she says?

No danger they'll open it up to as many as we want, regardless of the windfall they'd get - imagine getting the chance to outnumber them at their own home game, it'd be an invasion from us and they'd never live that down...

To be fair the mono block crest looks like it will be decent, but it’s just a bit of monoblocking, doesn’t make up for the monstrosity that will over shadow their pretty driveway.

If you are spending £12-14 Million you would except them to get something right :faf:

The wonky badge at the front is better than the stand and that's saying something - hence why they are getting excited over it.

The hilarious part is they are now loving the paving stones when focus should really be on 44 days till the stand is ready and still no seats :faf: to be seen.

Drs Budge designed it this way. She knows lots of things, not just how to fleece simple fans. One of those things is that light bends round very massive objects.

It's a pretty tiresome debate this one, bringing to mind the thread about their previous demise. However. It is clear to me that they have sold many more advance seats than they actually have available and are therefore guilty of just about everything including construction of eyesores visible from the moon.

Seriously though - how can they take money up front for a seat that doesn't exist without offering a refund? Supposing you want the seat you were sold, not the one at the nearest Rugby ground? They've oversold, right? Can't wait for the forthcoming rugby tests.

Doesnae matter - it's inexcusable to be a ginger so you are guilty as charged. :greengrin

This seems to be the most recent pic of the seat decking - is anyone else less than impressed with the speed of this project.

And as I mentioned before, where the hell has the crane got to?
19408

That's actually starting to take shape. The shape it's taking is the same as an absolute guddle but it's taking shape none the less.

Hoping for another statement as soon as but I reckon it'll be mid-October until they tell the 400,000 it won't open until January.

I am going to have to stop reading this thread for a while as I recently damaged my ribs in a fall and I am hurting myself with laughter , stop it.

Seats are supposedly due to arrive on Thursday..

The funniest posts I have read are that the yams fans says it looks great but in reality it's just a complete replica of the Wheatfield.

Can't wait to see how they build around the police box in the corner - surely if they had any sense they would have sorted and it / reduced the size of it months ago in preparation.

[brog]

Sorry if I missed something but why were they away yesterday? Was that a home game swapped so why not Murrayfield? I'm assuming the 4pm KO was to allow the uglies time to disperse.

Fixture reversed by arrangement... And yes

Is that their last reversed fixture?

I see they are away to Dundee next week and we are away to Celtic.

Not techy savvy so I cannot post the link but I saw a photo of North Lanarkshire Council Headquarters on the Daily Record web site.

Now, that's a glass curtain!!! Eat your Heart out you poor Jambo wannabees.

Anyone savvy enough to post up the best glass curtain I've seen so far?

What's with the massive gap between the giant glass curtain stand and the Roseburn?

There will be a "tunnel" for vehicular access.

Seems they're only play teams at Murrayfield that carry a large away support?

Nothing sinister in that, purely coincidental :cb

[HFCdeb]

In all seriousness, those puddles appear to be from water seeping through the gaps in the seating deck above, I presume the Yams will need to put some sort of seal in place to prevent that from happening.

Nah, they'll just drink them for half time refreshments.

[Hibby70]

Chucking it down this morning. The Gary Locke Lounge will be sodden.

It should come together quickly now, so I can see it being open this side of Christmas...

More than good enough. That's why they're drooling... or some other involuntary body excretion... actually, probably more than one simultaniously

On the basis that the old ones are always the best...it's certainly the only club badge that can be seen from Uranus.

So they use Murrayfield for Sheep game but reverse subsequent fixtures against Jags & Dee! Hmm, I wonder what drove those decisions.

Levein to miss game with tummy bug

[Arch Stanton]

Here's what's really happening.

They're working feverishly at Tynecastle but keeping it all secret ready for a tremendous reveal on 5/11

They'de finished the steel work - all along the front and the section on the LHS of the pics which had to be left til last to allow heavy plant in (rumoured to be a palm tree).

The crane couldn't be used for the last of the decking but two men and a wheelbarrow have acheived wonders and it is now finished, complete with required "Mind the Gap" notices.

They're currently most of the way through glueing the seats in place (the decking didn't come with seat fixings unfortuneately).

They're not going to have steps - instead they wil be offerring fans fitness classes to allow them to take the big giant steps needed to go up.

The police control box is to be left in place but a 50" TV screen will be installed behind it showing Eurosport !.

All this is not ideal, the club admits, but it will be the premier Edinburgh sports stadium for the foreseeable future after all.

"I can't see what is so behind time that it won't be able to open as planned (despite not being finished)"

Just priceless.

[Peevemor]

Some of them are saying that we'll keech our pants just at the sight of the place once it's finished. They forget that we're used to completed stadiums.

I agree with him. Hearts are just being unnecessarily fussy. Get it open now.

More likely to be p***ing ourselves at the sight of the place as we look at it on our way to Murrayfield in December :cheerio:

[Mibbes Aye]

Typical Hobo over-confidence.

Ive got my supply of Tena pads pre-ordered. I'm not sure my constitution is strong enough to deal with a glass curtain on the scale they've promised.

[Col2]

Noticed they can't use Murrayfield for 3 weekends in a row in November due to the autumn internationals.

I think our Gorgie chums will be forced to either play even more away games (surely even the SPFL won't allow that) or play in front of 3 stands. And if they do the later can they then switch back to murrayfield in December?!

[Brooster]

Can Hibs refuse to play New Year game at Murrayfield? Do they have to offer us the chance to reverse the fixture? They are itching to play us at Murrayfield.

Yeah deliver of the seats along with the electrics, toilet facilities o and the fire abd safety certificates.

Not much really.

They really need to face fact that Budge has lied to them that it would be ready in schedule bar the seats.

As am I. We'll bring as many fans as them and it'll wipe out home advantage entirely.

Couldn't care less about them making a bit more cash off the back of it - beating them is more important.

Having not completed it on time takes away any fear of not being able to complete it on time.

Not having completed it on time takes away any fear of not being able to complete it on time.Agree. I think having Terry Butcher as a consultant at the implementation phase has made all the difference.

I would love to see us play in a full house at Murrayfield, it would be an awesome experience and everyone would have a decent chance to getting a ticket.

Sensible precautions.

It is the wee stadium after all - it may cause unintended pished pants by all who see it.

[Col2]

I hope Hibs are watching this closely.

They can't surely go back to Tynecastle in November and then back to Murrayfield in December and January (when SRU don't need it).

Any more front loaded away games will result in them being at home for most for the last 4 months of the season every Saturday. I assume for our home games we get Saturday preference and they get Sunday.

They are at it. They will always be cheats.

Spot-on - keep the run up against them and any extra money they make will be wiped out by the plummet in their attendances for the remainder of the season !
