Takeaway the goals and there is no issue. Was Cathro involved in the stand design?

Budge saying at last nights HMSA’s monthly meeting, that new stadium will be a couple of hundred over 20,000. Bit of a salesman’s licence that statement

Do we really care? If it was twice the capacity of ER, it still looks a sh*thole!

It is cowardly but understandable. The jambos are the Donald Trumps of Scottish football. They don't like their small stands being held up to ridicule.
The tinycastle stadium will hold somewhere between 19,700 and 19,800 maximum. That is it, they will lie and obfuscate about this but that is all the seats they have. Now I imagine the benches in the fabulous Schoolview Lounge and "hospitality" will be factored in as capacity somehow. They will probably count every toilet seat as a seat in the stand. Who cares, the Trumps of Scottish football are a funny tiny team.

The same day we relegated Rangers. :greengrin

Oh aye, a couple of years before we hospitalised all those Rangers players.

[Deansy]

Why on earth are they calling it a “Piazza”?!

Once again they're aping (how apt !!) their 'Big -bros' over in Govan - in the 90's when the Hun had a few Italians throughout their squads, it was said then that 'If there's a player on the market whose name ends in a vowel, Rangers are in for him - regardless of talent, just has to sound Italian and the fans will think he'll be great AND expensive' !. Same appllies to the Hun-lite -their thinking is that 'Plaza' has a more foreign, cosmopolitan ring to it and it's much more attractive than the truth - a Tarmaced-concourse.

[SirDavidsNapper]

The difference between Easter Road and Tinycastle is that ER is a proper football theatre. It has the look and feel of a much larger stadium. The high stands are imposing and when it's full it's very impressive. Tinycastle is a cramped stadium with 4 small stands and has the atmosphere of a library. There is no comparison between the two.

He might actually be the one with morals and is pointing out the scoreline by which a wholesome institution secured victory in the 2007 League Cup while reminding the hertz horde that they cheated their way to a forever tainted success with players they could never have hoped to retain if they were not to spend other peoples money.

Good chap!

How can anybody gush over that? It looks like just what it is, a depressing basic box utterly lacking in character where half the seats need replaced because they look so shabby, all the more sad that the one chance they had to make the place a bit more interesting, at least from the outside, has been blown.

It's one saving grace is the potential it has to generate an atmosphere due to the forced upon them enclosed design, but first you need the fans to actually make a noise.
:tumble:

[Arch Stanton]

It would be easy to give the folks behind the police box a perfect view of the goal if they just shortened the pitch by 10 metres or so. I wonder if they've thought of that. :agree:

Ha-ha-ha - someone asked - 'but will it be ready' and the hilarious reply -

'of course it will be ready, time is not priority but perfection is'

Being blase about it being completed is to be expected coming from the Windae-lickers - but 'PERFECTION' FFS ??. It's one thing being bullish, full of bravado, but there are lines you don't cross and 'Perfection' is most definitely one of them !! Evereything about that 'stand' (Bus-shelter Annexe) has been slated/ripped/laughed-at etc from all corners - NOT just Hibs - and by no means whatsover, will 'Perfection' ever come into the equation when that stand is finally completed !

However I can't argue with the fact that they're getting a stand that they thoroughly deserve - they're just too 'Dolly Dimple' to understand that in saying that, it's NOT a compliment !

This is the point .... the Yams cant just turn to the 'jealous Hobos' go to response ... there appears to be very little love for Edinburgh's latest carbuncle on sites that are non football related, but do have an interest in maintaining Edinburgh's past and more importantly future architectural legacy. And before any watching Yams get on their high horse, we weren't trying to pretend ER was going to be an architectural marvel.

[jacomo]

'of course it will be ready, time is not priority but perfection is'




:faf:

From design, to capacity, construction and aesthetics - that compromised munter falls so far short of perfection in so many areas.

Wait until they start using it and we will find out how many other compromises they've made.

[SirDavidsNapper]

At least the library will have an echo with this new stand. Be more empty pink seats than normal (if they finally arrive).

Did the seats arrive on Thursday?

If not, why not?

Not sure what they are all getting so excited about? Leaving aside the office block exterior, it looks like a mirror image of the stand opposite. Not really impressive as a "Main Stand"

They have done a good job hiding the fact the smallest top flight stadium (capitify and pitch size) in Edinburgh hides behind the St James Centre / 70s Office block.

Just over a month away till first game - 35 days. Expect a statement from Budge soon with an update.

Seats supposedly can be quickly installed as on some sort of rail ? Not quite sure plan for that as more of the front they do - harder it is for crane access without going onto that small pitch.

Get the popcorn out this could get even more comical next few weeks..

They'll be doing it for at least another 51 years... which is when they'll get their next sniff at winning it.

The stand is so close to the pitch, how on earth are the going to create a border without shortening the playing surface considerably?

"Easter Road is an absolute shambles of a stadium. Externally it looks like the tradesman's entrance of a hospital.

Internally the stands are too far away from the pitch and too far away from each other.

Overall, it doesn't look like one entity. Four oddly shaped stands at completely different distances from each other, with huge gaping spaces between them. It looks as though a giant baby has has tossed his building blocks in the air and just left them where they fell.

It's a truly awful stadium for watching football in, and they would be better concentrating on comparing it to somewhere like Rugby Park or Pittodrie than making themselves look ridiculous by attempting to hold it up against the fantastic arena we have almost completed."

TBH I never noticed that before - the North-South distance is much much bigger that the East-West distance.

Mind you, the gaping spaces are useful for teams playing football.

To be honest, the tinycastle pitch is that small, all their stands are the same distance from each other. It's a big team thing.

What does "the tradesman's entrance at a local hospital" even actually look like? What a bizarre statement. Easter Road externally looks exactly like what it is, a football stadium and if our Yam chum is going down that route perhaps he should take a wee hike up Calton hill or Arthurs seat and tell me ER doesn't actually look rather impressive from those vantage points.

The four stands at Easter Road would indeed benefit from a further phase of redevelopment which would join them up and enclose the stadium, I cant say I disagree with him on that point, I've said it myself many times. But that's about where it ends .... the gaps between the stands, though needing addressed IMO, aren't such a big deal because the stands are so high, when you are sitting in the stadium its barely noticeable.

The stands are only too far away from the pitch if you are used to a ground where you have been forced to use every inch available to shoehorn in a capacity approaching 20,000 ..... In reality the proximity of the stands to the pitch at Easter Road is on a par with and better than a lot of the vast majority of European stadiums, perhaps he could show examples of any redeveloped or newly built stadiums apart from the PBS where the club concerned was daft enough not to include UEFA compliant run off areas, as they have been forced to do at the PBS. That's why ER is licensed to host latter stage European games and international matches and Tynecastle isn't, and still wont be once the super duper mega stand is finished.

As for ..... "its a truly awful stadium for watching football in" ..... What planet is that dafty on? He must be forgetting that loads of Hibs fans have actually visited the PBS in the last few seasons. The concourses are open to the elements, the seats are cramped, the leg room is crap compared to Easter Road, so much so that you are in danger of tipping over on top of the folk in front of you if you try to celebrate a goal, the walkways are slippy and the new stand which will complete this mess will ( eventually ) have dozens of seats from which you can only see one set of goals. On top of all that its so drab with the overuse of maroon all over it that its not exactly the place to be going if you suffer from depression .... In fact its the sort of place they would hold the executions if Scotland is ever ruled by a military dictatorship.

In short, its a ****hole and Easter Road is better than it in just about every criteria you would use to judge the merits of a football stadium ... In fact ER even has more boozers around it you can go to for a pre match pint :greengrin ... As for the 'famous' Tynecastle atmosphere, I would put up a full ER against a full PBS any old day of the week .... In fact is it not true that when we scored our 3rd in the last derby at ER folk in Joppa three miles away could hear the roar according to reports in the EEN :aok:

Hmmmm, this guy is going to be a bit disappointed with this corner if he wants them all to be the same (ie zero gap). I imagine they will finish this bit off, somehow, but, all the same, a gap is needed for emergency services.

Hate to be a killjoy but crap though their stand is, it does look like there is further building work to be done to bring that left hand side down to pitch side. If you extend the lone from those free girders up top it comes, more or less, to the pylon. I am not convinced that gap has anything to do with emergency vehicles but is more likely to be temporarily there to allow construction vehicles off site

They have most of the gable to complete, which will allow them to finish the seating decks & roof. From what I've seen on the plans, the bottom left hand corner of the stand will be left open (a sort of tunnel) for vehicular access.

Hmmmm, this guy is going to be a bit disappointed with this corner if he wants them all to be the same (ie zero gap). I imagine they will finish this bit off, somehow, but, all the same, a gap is needed for emergency services.

I think Ozyhibby’s picture from his post on 11 September looks like there will be no gap.

Edit: Looks like my cut and paste has been a failure but if you go back on this thread to page 8 you will see the picture. The hoarding down the side seems to follow the building line and meets the bottom of the pylon. I’m all for poking fun at their dreadful structure but if we don’t keep it accurate we are in danger of leaving “gaps” in our own arguments

Well, the upper part of the standd is indeed level with the pylon but if you check out the plan I posted the pitch side seats cut off an an angle so leave, drum roll please, a gap.

Not only does it leave a gap but the stand is mishapen. No gaps in that argument whatsoever. :greengrin

[Crazyhorse]

I like this one.

"Easter Road is an absolute shambles of a stadium. Externally it looks like the tradesman's entrance of a hospital.

Internally the stands are too far away from the pitch and too far away from each other.

Overall, it doesn't look like one entity. Four oddly shaped stands at completely different distances from each other, with huge gaping spaces between them. It looks as though a giant baby has has tossed his building blocks in the air and just left them where they fell.

It's a truly awful stadium for watching football in, and they would be better concentrating on comparing it to somewhere like Rugby Park or Pittodrie than making themselves look ridiculous by attempting to hold it up against the fantastic arena we have almost completed."

Classic yam denial. Having a tiny cramped little hovel is clearly hurting some of them a lot.

[Deansy]

Im so looking forward to when the dust has settled and they slowly realise their new stand is a dud and that, despite all the millions (millions that could've went on buying far better players than their current mob) spent - Tyney's tinier than ER !!

Have they forgotten to attach the bottom of the truss to the pylon or is it ok like that?

No it will fit.

The stand is pretty much identical to the Wheatfield and similar to our East seating wise. Well ours has seats...and theirs has an expensive office block behind it which cost about as much as our 3 other stands !! Haha !

Since they have these 20 year old pylon floodlights that give odd shadows they can't fill in the corners and need emergency access so their will be a gap close to the roseburn where a vehicle can drive onto the pitch if required.

I still find it hilarious Budgie isn't admitting the capacity...very selective of her.

She knows how to handle the drones and the information will be available but as it's less than ER there's no way she'll tell them yet as there's more cash to be extracted.

They could run a sweep to guess the final capacity as a fundraiser.

A Hibby will win it with the closest guess of 19,999 as all the yams think it's over 20k!

Unfair. The bridge has a glassy/plasticky/perspexy thing at the side, which helps with the wind. I don't think the famous's stand has anything like that, has it?

Quite a lot of scoffing at Drs Budge on this thread, but hasn't she played an utter blinder in presenting her project as a football stand with office block on the side, when in fact the project is to build an office block with a football stand on the side? Get the simple fans to pay for the lot and at the end maybe let them keep the football stand bit and leave yourself with a fully paid up office block in central Edinburgh? :dunno:

What does "the tradesman's entrance at a local hospital" even actually look like? What a bizarre statement. Easter Road externally looks exactly like what it is, a football stadium and if our Yam chum is going down that route perhaps he should take a wee hike up Calton hill or Arthurs seat and tell me ER doesn't actually look rather impressive from those vantage points.

The four stands at Easter Road would indeed benefit from a further phase of redevelopment which would join them up and enclose the stadium, I cant say I disagree with him on that point, I've said it myself many times. But that's about where it ends .... the gaps between the stands, though needing addressed IMO, aren't such a big deal because the stands are so high, when you are sitting in the stadium its barely noticeable.

The stands are only too far away from the pitch if you are used to a ground where you have been forced to use every inch available to shoehorn in a capacity approaching 20,000 ..... In reality the proximity of the stands to the pitch at Easter Road is on a par with and better than a lot of the vast majority of European stadiums, perhaps he could show examples of any redeveloped or newly built stadiums apart from the PBS where the club concerned was daft enough not to include UEFA compliant run off areas, as they have been forced to do at the PBS. That's why ER is licensed to host latter stage European games and international matches and Tynecastle isn't, and still wont be once the super duper mega stand is finished.

As for ..... "its a truly awful stadium for watching football in" ..... What planet is that dafty on? He must be forgetting that loads of Hibs fans have actually visited the PBS in the last few seasons. The concourses are open to the elements, the seats are cramped, the leg room is crap compared to Easter Road, so much so that you are in danger of tipping over on top of the folk in front of you if you try to celebrate a goal, the walkways are slippy and the new stand which will complete this mess will ( eventually ) have dozens of seats from which you can only see one set of goals. On top of all that its so drab with the overuse of maroon all over it that its not exactly the place to be going if you suffer from depression .... In fact its the sort of place they would hold the executions if Scotland is ever ruled by a military dictatorship.

In short, its a ****hole and Easter Road is better than it in just about every criteria you would use to judge the merits of a football stadium ... In fact ER even has more boozers around it you can go to for a pre match pint :greengrin ... As for the 'famous' Tynecastle atmosphere, I would put up a full ER against a full PBS any old day of the week .... In fact is it not true that when we scored our 3rd in the last derby at ER folk in Joppa three miles away could hear the roar according to reports in the EEN :aok:

What a bunch of deluded pricks they are :faf:

I'm shocked at you Jacomo. I think that every Hibby should take a leaf out of the book of the more enlightened of our ancestors who managed to drag the huddled masses into the light by recognising the fact that everybody could be improved by providing free education and society along with it.

In the spirit of these pioneers I think its our duty to provide that education to our Gorgie brethren ..... Like the peasants of old whose only duty was to believe everything their masters told them and 'remember their place' our maroon chums need someone to show them that Mistress Budge is not the be all and end all, that buying hideous shirts paying homage to the very upper classes who wanted to keep their ancestors downtrodden is just plain wrong.

I know I could well be wasting my time and that many Hibbies will laugh at me, but I'm determined to keep going. If one, just one, of these poor souls can be saved then it will be worth it. If one, just one, can be made to realise that calling the nice house next door a dump doesn't mean the hovel the mistress is building for you, and making you pay for, is the palace she promised then it will have been worth it.

It's why they are so keen on (what they see as) the aesthetic values, which are rotten but they can at least argue "it's perfect", "it's a thing of beauty" etc as it's not something quantifiable.

It's only the seats that's been holding them up after all.

Been in the US working for the last month so missed much of the excuses for delays.Don't shoot the messenger if this has already been posted.Out for a few beers at the weekend and was told by a Yam Faithful close to FOH that the real delay in the seats was actually that the preferred supplier wouldn't deal with Hearts - company called Spectator Seating who actually appear on the creditors list and were due circa £13k from the Mad Vlad era. They apparently said pay the original bill and we'll supply you, Hearts said no so the company declined to process the order. Seats now on the slow boat from China.

In saying that, they've already replaced a fair number of seats in the existing stands. They must have got them from somewhere.

[GlesgaeHibby]

Follow the thread on sickbag - even some of them are starting to get suspicious about the delivery date for seats constantly getting moved back.

Saw a picture of the Roseburn from yesterday and it still looks awful as many not replaced. Even the yams admit it when they get pictures how bad it looks.

Even if it makes Nov 5th I would be pretty nervous sitting in that stand for the first time with the rushed job being done - do teams not do soft launches anymore to test stands / stadiums ?

If having seats is so important to them why don't they abandon the idea of overcharging the givers for scarves with their name on them (who doesn't know their own name?) and get the mugs to buy their own seats instead?

They're paying through the nose for everything else and as plastic owl based seats are now available isn't selling them at inflated prices to mugs who you know can't get enough plastic owl stuff a win,win for everybody?

Talk about glass curtains, or the lack of them down Gorgie way, should really require the Hearts to submit an amendment to their approved planning application for the new stand.

Not that there would be any problem getting it passed, but the reasons given might be funny.

At least it's now possible to visualise how the finished project might look. All joking aside, it could be good when it's eventually finished - very much like the new East we have. Thing is, all four stands need replacing. The Roseburn is a disgrace.

Word reaches me that they have doubled the workforce on site as the opening day approaches. This picture illustrates that my source is on the money again. The two agency workers should have the job finished on schedule as there is very little left to do. A few seats and the badge on the front door is all that remains.

Never mind a runway, we don't even have the long promised helipad.

Petrie! :grr:

Hi there, I've been doing some work in the area and I notice your driveway needs redone. I could give you a really good quote.

In fact I just finished the Hearts crest and I've got plenty monoblock left over - I could give you one of those for £120, quite a few Jambos round here are getting it done - totally smart.

... and they've got a jambo jet.

[tamig]

Are those the net curtains hanging up in the roof?

I still laugh at that drawing with the Roseburn support tower suddenly moved about 5 yards on to the side of the pitch - not to mention it being slap bang in the middle of hundreds of main stand seats. I suppose you could peer through that though - unlike the real life police control box.

Asked when they would be here? He replied, they will be ‘signed sealed delivered’ today.

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.

Yep. Better stop saying "Even Stevie Wonder would have seen that" when at games as well

Some seats supposedly arrived yesterday.

31 days till game..

It will take a week to finish that section on the side closest to Roseburn.

2 weeks to install seats I would expect - that's if all the rest arrive..

Plus barriers and making the place safe to use - it will come down to the wire and short cuts probably taken for it to be ready. But doubt toilets / food kiosks etc will be ready so they will probably go temporary with that.

[Aldo]

If it's not ready then they should be made to play in front of 3 stands.

Budge and co can take the flack for selling too many ST's.

This is just shambolic and every club barring them of course, will be at a disadvantage because of it all!

Big club my arse!

All seats need to be fitted for the Council Occupancy Certificate one week before the Killie game I believe.

So that gives us 20 days (including weekends) to fit 7,000 seats - that's 350 per day.


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

To be fair the bloke in that seat will be ok. As for the overweight guy in the middle of the curtain rail he'll end up being 2 inches of the ground

But but but we were told that while they couldn't be putting seats in they were going full steam ahead elsewhere so that must be finished by now!

Don't tell me they forgot to order the fryers furra chups or worse the tables for the chairs in the school view bistro!

Ah well, at least they've installed the free sample. When they can afford a few more seats it's going to start looking like a football stand - viewed from the pitchside I mean.

It’s getting unreal it really is.

If they'd all asked for a free sample it would have been finished by now, FOR FREE!

I think they've missed a trick here!

I thought the delay was due to their queen forgetting to order the seats in the first place ,if that was the case how come every thing else is not done as the seats can be the last thing to do

Obua on JKB says they arrived yesterday

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+. :fibber:

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 :greengrin

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 :faf:

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!
