Hearts' New Stand Thread (Merged)

[fat freddy]

Leaving trench warfare and vermin aside I spoke with a mechanical and electrical company manager who was on site last week and he said he was told by a contractor that January was a more likely completition date.

[BSEJVT]

Green tinted specs aside it is just a butt ugly building.

It has the look of a 3 year old's first lego attempt.

For the amount they are spending upon it they really could have got something pretty nice.

Maybe the problem with that is that it would show of the absolute toilet the rest of the stadium is and they had to dumb down the new design to blend in.

Its an absolute monstrosity that all the piazza's in the world placed end to end couldn't improve.

[-Jonesy-]

Just went past on Gorgie Road, it's utter pap for a main stand, our west is a lot bigger! Side note has Gorgie been hit with extreme poverty? It's not had a wash in ten years or so! First time along this way in years, usually come up the roseburn way! Shops closed manky tenements just actual filthy. In their Gorgie slums indeed.

I lived in Smithfield street right beside the stadium just over a year ago and, no joke, had to move out because of a rat infestation. I don't miss it, it's tired, run down, full of jakes arguing on the street at 2am every single night and the place seems to be scotlands only open air dog toilet.
It's declined even more in the last 12 months and half the high street is boarded up. The new office block seems it will be a fitting addition.
S**tehole.

[MrSmith]

They were stuck between a rock and a hard place given state of old stand, cost of materials and the limited space they had to work in. It looks OK and will be a good addition to their ground. I actually think this is the best they could hope for and design isn't too off the wall if you consider surrounding area and heritage. What it does do though, is that it proves how well the team directed the re-build of our ground in terms of: cost, delivery, scheduling, materials and how it blends into the surrounding naturally.

How strong are those rail things, have they actually tested the effect of 20 odd folk all jumping up and then sitting down again all at the same time? It genuinely looks like what you would get if IKEA made football stands.

A semi serious question because I'm sure they've thought of it, but if the stand is hit by lightning what happens? In a stand like we have the electricity would be conducted through the metal structure into the ground with little effect to the decks because they are made of concrete .. that stand is made of metal throughout .... much as I dislike the Yams I have a few mates who support them and I wouldn't like to think of them all being turned into characters from the Green Mile :greengrin

I've got to admit that the aerial photo looks alright. It's just a pitty for them that at ground level it looks honking.

[Oscar T Grouch]

The things that make me happy about their stand.
1. It will never be as good as they want it to be. It will never be fully UEFA compliant.
2. It is costing them a fortune. Comparing it to the East isn't fair, but even bringing the cost of our west up to nowadays prices, it is still overpriced
3. Without exception all jambos I know are lapping it up, without realising what this stand is going to cost them on the field, I think this makes me happiest.
4. When finished, it will only highlight the state of the other 3 stands.
5. The finish date that keeps changing, this will only increase the cost (see 2)
6. As it nears completion, it looks terrible, even with the landscaping and frontage completed, it isn't going to look good, it's gonna look like an office block.
7. This thread, this makes me happy.

As Sean Connery would say ~ "That monstrosity is a ***** for shore eyes"

[G B Young]

looks like a cable tidy for health and safety reasons during the build.

I don't think that's the case. It's not a one-off piece of tape. If you look at a picture which shows more of the stand you'll see that it's being stuck down to cover the join at every section of the metal decking.

Take away the office block tacked on to the front of the new stand and what have you really got? Just another functional (well, not yet) football stadium.

Our own stadium, in my view, carries a lot more clout from a aerial viewpoint, especially when the sun's shining on Leith. You can't miss it from any hilltop in the city, whereas Tynecastle has always tended to blur into the drab Gorgie greyness. Nobody would claim we have the world's greatest stadium, but that's the point. We're happy enough with it the way it is and never felt the need to sound off about it. It was completed on budget, on time and nearly a decade before Hearts finally got round to replacing their main stand.

Was this due to the pitch dimensions changing at some point? I'm just amazed that the yam's greatest main stand in the world has been built with the tunnel off center.

[Arch Stanton]

Those posts are all very OTT. The photo in question is the best one I've seen of it though to be fair, it looks decent enough from that angle. Shame that angle will only be seen by the odd helicopter and football post-hoof.

I agree it's not totally bad but I can't see how you get to 'decent'.

In what way decent? Homely maybe, quaint at a push, Rustic is as positive I can manage, but decent? No way.

[WhileTheChief..]

No.


https://aviewfrommyseat.fr/wallpaper/anonymous-20160105183317.jpg

According to them this is an eyesore and a hopeless place to watch a game from!!

This coming from the grunts that thought their old stand was a thing of beauty.

They’re jealous and deep down they know that ER was, is and always be, a far better stadium.

[Peevemor]

No. The tunnel isn't centred on the stand itself. It must be to suit the internal layout.

[seanshow]

Fame at last! thats my photo above although I did edit someones big noggin out before uploading it to 'view from my seat' :greengrin

[Alan62]

They don't like Easter Road as a place to watch football firstly because it's our stadium and secondly because they've made a benefit of sitting in cramped conditions on a steep rake and right on top of the pitch. Seemingly it generates an amazing atmosphere.

I've been in all the stands at Tynecastle, except, of course, the amazing new £14m one and they're all horrible and cramped. They all look the worse for wear to me and I was actually quite shocked at the state of that Wheatfield Stand when we were there for the Bonnyrigg game.

Yam pals love it though and think all is barry. They also think it will be even barry-er when the new edifice is unveiled in all its glory. And I'm sure it will. :rolleyes:

Is there any point asking anymore?

[lapsedhibee]

Jeez FFS that really does look likeca seat will be behind a girder running up the stand.

Why is that a problem though? The widest girders in Scottish Football are only blocking a view of the back of the polis box. :faf:

[Peevemor]

Why do those girders stick out so far from the side wall?

Because, unlike Easter Road, the gables at the PBS are load bearing. They only take the weight of a wee bit roof (+ the wind load), but the height of the gables means you need fairly hefty steelwork.

[greenginger]

Think it's actually the pitch that's not. Too small.


Plus the run-off areas behind the goals.

The exact distance between the bottom of the girder trusses of the Roseburn and Gorgie stands is 105.94 metres and the seating starts immediately below the truss , there can only be 3 metres between the by-line and the hoardings at each end.

Accident waiting to happen !

It's perfection, Hibs fans can only dream of a stadium carefully pieced together with bespoke sections of gaffer tape and the finest pop-rivets. Every rival fan in the country will be full of envy.

yep, you're right.
some kind of expansion joint?

I saw the close up picture of the strip that covers the gaps. Never seen anything like it on a surface that people walk upon. Certainly doesn't look very robust and I'd imagine it has a short life span.
I'd thought there might have been a silicone sealant solution to the gaps.

I was under the impression that it was important, for H&S, that the occupants of the Police Control Room had a view of all parts of the ground. There are no windows facing a substantial part of that new stand. Not wishing any catastrophe upon anyone attending a football match but what happens if there is an emergency in that hidden section?

Listen pal, they sold a £7.43 Poundstretcher plastic Owl for £4000. They can sell anything they want to those mugs so don't be surprised if those seats are advertised as having a unique view and sold for more than a "normal" seat. shove a poppy on the back of the polis boax and they'll be queueing up overnight.

I was under the impression that it was important, for H&S, that the occupants of the Police Control Room had a view of all parts of the ground. There are no windows facing a substantial part of that new stand. Not wishing any catastrophe upon anyone attending a football match but what happens if there is an emergency in that hidden section?
No - you can cover some parts with CCTV. At ER, the police control room (if it's still in the South stand) doesn't have a view of the upper tier.

Bananas ..... even if they remove the police box they will still have restricted view seats behind girders and the supporting pylon. It will only be a few seats out of several thousand, but its a clear sign that they have squeezed in every seat possible in order to try and reach a 20,000 capacity .... even then it looks like they wont :faf:

I don’t remember a box being in the East, other than the commentary/TV camera gantry, certainly not after the FF and South were built. The only other box I can remember was a permanent (ish) structure between the FF and West which was used as a TV studio for televised matches. It was demolished at some point and we now erect a temporary box when Sky visit and an open air platform thing for BT.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

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.

Are you not assuming there that their seats will be the same width/spaced the same as ours? :hmmm:

[Renfrew_Hibby]

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.

In their big giant world, small things are extremely big, that's what successive owners of the club have to tell them to keep the believers paying. You are confusing matters with your application of basic arithmetic to what you see before you.

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.

Some chat on jumbostandputback.co.uk that one dugout looks bigger than the other. I wonder which one will be the home team's :dunno:

[G B Young]

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.

Is there a genuine likelihood that another delay will soon be announced? I really thought that the two month extension from September would be more than adequate for them to complete things but looking at the latest pics it does look as though there's a lot still to do in a couple of weeks.

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.

[Aldo]

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.

Exactly ..... At the last derby they stuck with their team for all of 5 minutes at the start and after that nothing, even before Hibs scored. The TV commentators stop talking when SOL is about to start, it happened after the league cup final in 2007 and SKY stayed at Hampden after the cup was presented in 2016 just to show it, even though it ran into their coverage of the FA cup final. Nae chance the Yams can compete with that, they have nothing to teach us about generating an atmosphere, or anybody else for that matter.

The guys right, that SPS metal seat decking has no fire-break rating and the Green Guide on stadium safety requires a minimum of 30 minutes fire resistance.

This could be achieved by either coating the entire underside of the metal decking with 2 coats fire-******ant paint or fitting fire board to the underside.

The details will be found on the Yam Stand's Building Warrant drawings.

Oops, I forgot, they ain't got a building warrant yet. :greengrin

I see the post police ban proper words in case they offend. fire-resistant paint then.

The fact he's still touting it as costing £12M when Budge has already announced the spend will be far more than that shows his remit here. Every other figure printed by him has to be taken with a pinch of salt, breeze-block scrapings will do the job too. Indeed you are correct! Doesn't want to upset the hordes!

With over a hundred restricted view seats Ronnie I would suggest waaaaaaayyyyy less than 20K.

I suspect they will announce the capacity as over the 20K mark regardless

Restricted view or not if there is a seat it will be counted!:agree:

[greenginger]

I love Bandersons report on the new 7290 capacity main stand taking the to Tiny Park to over 20K. Lies lies lies blatant lies. With more than 100 restricted view seats capacity will be less than 20K. Keep stringing them along

Edit: just stabbed the hornets nest on Social media! Wonder how long before I get a bite!!


I've just done a dot count on that new stand of theirs from their season ticket web page.

I've not deducted any number of seats for the lounge seated area , just counted as normal seats.

The total I get is 6708, plus the directors box.

Add to the 3 other stands capacity as per their exiting calculations of 12,809.

Tiny Park total capacity = 19,517. :na na:

[StevieT]

Once they announce the ground capacity as 20,000+ there will be no going back. The first semi final will be interesting when both clubs ask for ten thousand tickets each

There is no way they will show that as their capacity. Not a chance. Imagine the outcry at 15 million for less than 2,000 extra seats.

Problem is though GG.... this is FACT and they don’t do that!

I have no doubt in my mind they will LIE to the beLIEvers and their capacity will be over 20k.

Before their administration Banderson swallowed the line that they were self sufficient, he was also a number of millions off on one of their fund raising efforts if I recall correctly. Obviously he erred on the big side rather than doing any journalism.



That line was put out when Vlad/UKIO told Hearts they would no longer be funding them. Banderson used the phrase "self_sufficient" time and again. I pointed out to him via twitter that Hearts were in fact "self-reliant", which is different from being "self-sufficient". He tried and failed to be a smart arse but I stuck to my guns, was never abusive, and asked the question that if Hearts were self-sufficient they'd be balancing their books that season and we'd see then. Result - blocked.

He didn't "swallow" that line, he aided and abetted Hearts in spreading lies to their "simple fans."

Hearts were far from being self-sufficient. To pay the wages of their squad and to pay the wages of players they signed subsequently, on terms they couldn't afford, they had to rely on stealing funds left right and centre from monies owed to creditors, including charities. They couldn't quite steal enough though and the idiocy of signing those players led to administration. No bank after them these days though, as no bank will touch them.

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

So full of themselves (and guff).


1886: The club secured the tenancy of part of a vast meadow that Edinburgh Corporation was letting for housing and industry. £200 was spent to lay out Tynecastle Park which remains one of the oldest grounds in Britain and one of its greatest sporting venues.



1913: Due to public demand, the club decided to build a new, much more commodious Main Stand, costing £5-6,000. Britain's most noted stadium architect, Archibald Leitch, was commissioned to design the stand that was to incorporate all modern conveniences.


No mention that they stiffed Leitch - only after the plans had been submitted o course.

[macca70]

I’m no seat installation expert but they don’t seem to be making huge amount of progress putting in the seats.

It looks a shambles and way off being finished any time soon.

The weather seems to be taking a turn for the worse too so will only slow things down.

What a dreadful project this whole shambles has been.

[WhileTheChief..]

There’s chat on JKB about how the first 10 rows or so of the new concrete is soaking wet in some pics.

Apparently the roof doesn’t come out far enough to protect them from the rain.

I hope this is true.

From same place:

1914: The new Main Stand was partially opened on 15 August when Hearts beat Celtic 2-0 in the League before 18,000 spectators. The club instructed a tablet to be placed on the outside wall giving details of the Directors involved in the construction project.

1914: When the Stand was completed in October, it was the most advanced in Scotland, but a number of items had been omitted from the original estimate and the club's commitment began to rise just as gates began to fall due to the outbreak of the Great War.

1924: A survey revealed that if every spectator was allowed a space of 14 inches by 24 inches, the capacity of Tynecastle was 50,068. If it was 14 x 22 inches then the capacity was 60,018.

Lolz at the history repeating itself.

Don't see the problem myself, having invented the "chip" the worlds most innovative football club will probably just invent some sort of personalised protective waterproof canopy that can be held above the head. Each of their fans will be offered the unique opportunity to own one.

The canopy will be capable of folding down when it is not raining and being stored in the upright position so as to avoid contact with the person you are wedged up against. It could be used as a walking aid and a range of attractive matching gloves may also be an option - especially with Xmas approaching.

Having sat in the Wheatfield front few rows - you can get wet as the roof doesn't actually cover the front few rows very well.

Even recently I know someone who was on the opposition bench when Hearts moved their dugouts to the Wheatfield and they were soaked.

Today's rain wasn't even that bad and the front rows are clearly soaked - add in some wind and we can't even see the tin rows so hospitality could be soaked too!!

The one thing is our stadium roof does cover the front of the stands by quite a bit - saw this on stadium tour recently and never seen anyone at a game be soaked at front row.

The wonderful truss they have really isn't that effective but that doesn't surprise me.

Many of their photos of the inside of the stand have puddles in them too..slightly worrying..

Pretty well true .... with stand roofs being so high these days any sort of wind and you are likely to get wet in the front rows.

Kept telling him about Vlads business methods, he'd good evidence of the yams non payment approach to life but he couldn't see past agent romanov. He had the good grace to admit he was blinded by the promises when it all went pear shaped.

I emailed him light heartedly about the new fan ownership dream and the new Gorgie Maracana. Not bought into the former and says "we had to do something" on the latter. Praise indeed.

Post admin and in light of all those businesses that got burnt by them they'll have no credit so its Cash on delivery I'd imagine.

Shake the big red coo upside down and buy a couple of seats every so often, there'll be another splurge if sevco hand over the Murrayfield money to them on time. Could be as many as 20 a day soon.

You jest. (I think) There’s a fair chance with the seats being ordered separately that they don’t fit the rows and are restricting the capacity further. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise. It would explain the lack of progress fitting them.

Restaurant at the Apex hotel?

Nowhere near as good as the yams school view / view of the sky above the castle view lounge but a decent effort.

This. Not just one loads no the majority of them think it's the best thing ever built. I have been told ' the best modern stand in Scottish football' and by quite a distance. The reason us Hobos are making such a fuss as we are jealous.

I have time and time again and as early as last week showed some of them the recent images of the monstrosity, yet they still deny its a shambles! 21k plus is what they are saying and I just laughed!

This is why I hate, always have and always will do, that mob.

It's going to be superb watching them suffer on the pitch trying to pay off the £15 million and rising debt to budgie

Are they at least advertising it as restricted or no view at all? There wouldn't be any point sitting there.

A Jambo mate of mine told me they were reducing the size of the Police Control Box and making it level with the floodlight pylon.

[Sammy7nil]

Was that what they were promised?

That's a trade description job if ever I saw one

That s the view from the hotel in Bread St can't recall the name but I was there earlier this year.

How are they going to do that? Time will tell.

The Police Control box either stays as it is or is situated elsewhere. Where I don't know. I appreciated what your mate has told you but I really do not see how they can reduce the size. The only way they will see sitting there is if they move it completely. This will not happen anytime soon

Meant to add.... This is contrary to what I have heard!

Not according to the seating plan

[Sammy7nil]

I was thinking I cant stand up for falling down.

A good year for the rowses, with no seats!

aah I see I thought it was promotional blurb they had put out enticing investors to put money in on the basis that would be what they got.

[Scott Allan Key]

How are they going to do that? Time will tell.

You'd think after their experience with Romanov they'd at least be a bit cautious or hesitant before launching into their now customary 'Triumphalistic/Cock-sure arrogance' but not them - still determined to challenge their big-bros over in Govan for the 'Dumbest F*****rs In Scottish Football' award.

Just looked at 2 pics of updates...

1 - the new tunnel - looks as small as the last one - another Tiny feature

2 - the construction of the dugouts - massive gap next to stairs concrete - just cries out short cuts being taken.

They shouldn't be allowed to take money from people for those seats behind the police box; or at the very least it should be a nominal amount. 370 quid is out of order. If any Jambo is stupid enough to sit there, more fool them.They are using the British Rail defense. You buy a ticket for a journey, seats are free if available. We're you at the game sir? Yes? All we offered on the contract was entry to match plus executive sized pink seat.


Picture definitely Sky bar...

I think I pity them more than hate them. To be honest I haven't heard from one jambo who thinks the capacity will be bigger than ER. They are producing the it's magnificent/doesn't matter if ER is bigger story line religiously now.

Really jealous that we didn't think of tin, tape and pop rivets when we built the east right enough.

I have shown them the photo. Head in sand. It's modern and it's what big clubs do apparently.

Cannot wait until it's all finished and gleaming shiny and new... In 2025.
