Apparently they've decided that they don't have the cash for a new stand after all, and have moved into the greenhouse at the Botanics. Smart move, if you ask me.

Caught a Chemtrail in that pic. They were busy over Edinburgh today. My daughter caught a load of videos of them spraying South Edinburgh. I was in Glasgow all day, they sprayed the Weegies all day, got some cracking shots of them.

Can someone get on to Hibs to try and get them to release an official statement about that Lafferty tweet? I'm currently trying to get in touch with the police. It's a good job he never said anything derogatory about the stadium, I would be physically sick.

What Lafferty tweet? Is this a new one or the old one?

How are they going to get the cherry picker out now the end is filled in?Laugherty out, cherry picker in. It will probably manage 10 headed goals in a season and it will be more savvy on Twitter and definitely come across better in live interviews.

Cherry pickers don't have elbows.

They can try convince people that their new stand is incredible all they want but that post has really shown that the frustration of having a project that's months late, millions over budget only to look like a pile of ***** shows that deep down they know it's a shocker.

Not really following why that’s a reason for mocking and if it’s us that’s giving them pelters for it or the other way round?

When Drs Budge told them their new stand was going to be a marble palace, and they believed it, the yams scoffed at our stadium which was constructed of mere breeze blocks.

[green day]

Some of the gimps are beginning to think it might not get its safety certificate in time for the Thistle match:greengrin

Theres a cracking picture over on JKB showing the dugouts with the press area immediately behind.

Now I know that all of us paupers in all other stadiums tend to put journos in the top tier, next to the exec seats - something to do with having a great view of the pitch with which to make your match reports perhaps?

But as we know, Ha Ha Hearts are breaking with many conventions in the construction of the best stand in the world :wink:

Back in the real world, it means the journos will get a poorer view and absolutely pissed on when its raining and there is even a slight west wind (which as we know is frequently in Edinburgh !).........which means that their laptops / equipment as well as themselves will get wet.

Is the project manager on this a hibby, or are they deliberately screwing it up themselves - or, are they just incredibly incompetent??????

Whatever, they are the gift that just keeps giving :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Very odd about the media.

Looks like an after thought.

I saw the pic - no seats so far for the Media.
Like you say rain or wind and papers / laptops will be soaked.

Going to be interesting to see how the Perspex they have used weathers in the near future.

Our stadium is not constructed from breeze blocks. Concrete blocks yes, breeze blocks, no.

Breeze blocks where the forerunner for modern concrete blocks and were made from a matrix of ash and cement. Breeze blocks were used where there was no need for more expensive bricks i.e non loadbearing situations.

* first stand to supply fried potato chips (or "chips" for short)
* first stand to open with a police control box obstructing the views of hundreds of seats
* the biggest glass curtain wall in Scottish football
* a piazza
* a brick layout in one part of the piazza that almost, from a distance, and if you squint your eyes, looks like an off-colour off-scale imitation of a hearts club crest
* a tunnel that doesn't allow sufficient space for both teams to walk out side by side, as it's too cramped
* innovative dug outs that are below ground level, flooding regularly, and offering a poor view to the management
* a press area that gets pelted with wind and rain and all the elements, most games
* a castle view suite that doesn't "view" the "castle", but does have a good view of a nearby school
* corporate facilities that don't face the pitch - why doesn't everyone do this? Because no-one else is The Famous :rolleyes:
* a 20,000 seater stadium with nearer to 19,000 seats
* and best of all, FULLY FUNCTIONING TOILETS.

Just been on brokeback for a early morning chuckle at our neighbours-I can't seem to post pics, but has anyone seen the pictures that have been posted showing their directors suite?

The floor isn't complete, however the false ceiling looks straight out of the 80's, it's a boring rectangle of a room, looks straight onto the high school and every Tom, dick and harry from the street can see straight in.

For a directors suite it is an absolute joke. You would think after spending £15 million, old budgey would've built herself something more luxurious than a 80's function hall with a school view.

Even though the room hasn’t been fitted you get a sense of cheap job done. But then you realise they have spent around £14 million and it makes it even more funny.

Maybe I'm not up to speed in the world of obstruction and design, but (as a genuine question) why are there so many support pillars going through the middle of rooms?

its what the big teams do in their new stands.

im not in the know but I presume if you have a cantilever design this removes the need for structural beams running through the building.

the problem with cantilever designs....they're expensive. A cheap stand (now expensive), for a cheap area and for a cheap team! GGTH

[greenginger]

Got to say I'm a bit confused with the exiting system for the new Tiny.

At the north end of the new stand they are constructing a set of stairs from concourse level 7.8 metres wide together with a 2 metre wide set of stairs from the lower level exit.

There already is a 7.8 metre wide staircase and a 4.5 walkway out of the Roseburn stand into this area.

All these exits are funneled into the one exit double gate at Mcleod Street which is max 13 metres wide.

One of the basic exiting rules is that exit routes must widen in the direction of escape. Here they have about 22 metres of exit width being forced into a pinch point 13 metres wide. :confused:

They will enter the stand through the turnstiles which look like conservatory doors.

They will exit the stand through the Gorgie End side door and stairs next to turnstiles.

The roseburn end isn't connected and is only an exit for emergencies.

Having look at it and the plans I think the design may be an issue but only time will tell when the poor lambs get to sit in the office block for the 1st time and realise it's a replica of the wheatfield. :faf:

Is it not even more important in emergencies that bottle necks are not built into the design ?

Also there is a maximum exiting time for a stadium even in non-emergency conditions and the width of that stairway ( noted as stair 7 ) is taken into account in the new stand exiting calcs.

Well the maximum exiting time can't be that demanding as we know, thanks to the age it takes to get out of the East!

None the less it's pretty clear there has been compromise after compromise for the Yams with this stand...their fundamental design using the truss and a single tier has hampered them from the get go.

Even so they clearly had little idea of what they were actually building, to realise only half way through that they needed to upgrade the power supply smacks of complete and utter incompetence. If you can overlook stuff like that no wonder they have obscured views, sunken dig outs, press areas in the wrong place etc etc etc

There's games coming up (if it opens) where they'll be using generators to supplement the existing juice. Could be interesting if there's a mega-rush on those "chip" things they say they'll be selling.

Of course, using temporary generators and thinking about upgrading the mains power supply near the end of a build rather than at the planning stage is what big teams do. It makes me want to sell pegs and shoot up through sheer seethe and jealousy etc etc.

According to the Green Guide to stadium safety, the max. exiting time for a capacity crowd to a place of safety is 8 minutes.

The Wheatfield is a joke to get out of - amazed how that’s allowed.

Our East takes forever too - luckily with good results recently it’s good to stay and enjoy the moment.

I’m sure in an emergency fans will go onto the pitch anyway.

They did change the new Hearts turnstiles as looked like a bottle neck. Even the way they have changed them doesn’t look good.

Entering the Wheatfield is so old school making you queue down the street as they have about 5 turnstiles. Another reason it’s a crap stadium.

[Green_one]

According to the Green Guide to stadium safety, the max. exiting time for a capacity crowd to a place of safety is 8 minutes.

Which includes I presume opening up special exits such as gates onto the pitch at the East. So although it takes a time to get out of the East, there would be more exits in an actual emergency . Plus folk would not be blocking exits watching the end of the game. :rolleyes:

Not clear that commenting on Hearts emergency strategy is really going to get us anywhere. There is plenty wrong but it cannot all be rubbish.

Even sillier is the plant room is in the Roseburn so this is work they could have completed before ANY rebuilding work took place on the main stand...but no planning permission only requested in August and granted just a week ago means they are using generators to power their stadium for the 'grand opening'.

Then there is the 'media room' afterthought which they only applied for planning for in October.

What a shambles! [emoji23][emoji23]

[Arch Stanton]

According to the Green Guide to stadium safety, the max. exiting time for a capacity crowd to a place of safety is 8 minutes.

But it isn't all about quickness is it? If it was too quick it would be a recipe for disaster surely.

I remember in the late 60s exiting down big straight stairs at Ibrox (not the disaster one I don't think but same idea). Quite frightening, my feet were hardly touching the ground.

I had a look at the new stand today. The maroon and red glass panels at each end are quite attractive but the main bit in the middle is pure sixties office block. They could have made it more striking by adding some colour. It doesn't exactly invite one in.

Do they realise this is the kind of thing they get mocked for? No set of fans in world football have delusions of grandeur like Hearts fans FACT.

[marinello59]

Given that the stadium was "one of the most atmospheric in the world" before, how utterly incredible is it going to be when the new stand is completed?

You've got to assume a rogue Hibby was employed in their media department with this guff 😂

http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/pages/matchdayinfo

Wow. That can’t be real, it just can’t be. If it is surely somebody there was capable of stopping it from being published.

They also claim to have have been the first club to have players sign up to join the war effort - I assume they can back this up with evidence? There are after all, a good number of clubs across England, Wales and Scotland, and from what I’ve seen, most don’t feel the need to shove the efforts and sacrifice of their former players in everyone’s faces.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Only seething Hobos laugh at the mighty Hearts, but those laughter tears are the crocodile tears of the envious; envy towards one of the biggest clubs in the world/Gorgie.

'The club owns Edinburgh's famous War Memorial at the Haymarket junction in west central Edinburgh'


Who the **** wants to own a War Memorial?? Would it not be more charitable to gift it to the people of Edinburgh or something? :confused:

Not only that apparently they helped, by way of McCrae’s Battalion Trust, build a Cairn in Contalmaison NEAR France.

It’s in France - you can’t get any nearer to France!!

Unbelievably amateurish!!

The club owns Edinburgh's famous War Memorial at the Haymarket junction in west central Edinburgh, and it actively supports McCrae's Battalion Trust who have built a Cairn in the village of Contalmaison near France.

[Firestarter]

They own the war memorial at Haymarket? Never knew that.

You still don't know it, if your only source is the yams themselves.

Says here (http://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst18663.html) they gifted it to the city in 1922.

And in 2008 the city still believed it belonged to the city:
Councillor Buchanan said: "I have not heard one voice for anything other than a return of the memorial to its home at Haymarket and as quickly as possible. "This issue is particularly significant to Hearts fans the world over, as the clock and monument were gifted by the football club in memory of the 13 players who fought for their country and most especially the seven who made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.

Shirley Drs Budge wouldn't be claiming something that isn't true? :shocked:

[theonlywayisup]

'Our stadium – Tynecastle - is one of the most atmospheric in the world.....'

When even their own fans complain about the lack of atmosphere at the PBS ?? - just WHAT planet are these ****s on ??. 'Promoting yourself' is one thing but spraffing out-and-out KEECH is ....................... well, obviously it's a Jambo-thing !

Thank God we're lucky and play good and entertaining football to attract the crowds - unllike the yams we won't be facing charges of 'Blatant Fraudulent Misrepresentation' .....

Someone needs to tell the world's journalists that they've got it all wrong.

[Hibernia&Alba]

The atmosphere at Tyncastle can be very good (derbies for example) because the stands are so close to the pitch. For a big game it's a good place to watch football. It will be interesting to find out whether the new stand has any effect on that.

[SirDavidsNapper]

The atmosphere at Easter Road can be brilliant but I'd cringe if someone put on the official website that it was one of the best in world football.

Hearts. The Donald Trump of Scottish football. So fitting.

[O'Rourke3]

That seems tohave been written by a 10 year old who hears adults discuss facts then write down their interpretation of what they understood. The Heart and soul of Edinburgh, FFS. Take out the "t and " from that sentance and we are getting somewhere.

[Caversham Green]

Nothing to do with football rivalry here, if there's one thing in the world that no-one should claim to own it's a war memorial. I'm genuinely sickened by that statement, and I'd say the same if it was Hibs who were claiming ownership.

Sky sports are tweeting how “Players, staff and supporters of Hearts” are at the memorial just now. I always assumed that service was for the Edinburgh community and not just their crass little football club.

It's actually pretty sick, when you think about it. Even worse when you consider the money they actually stole from related charities.

One of the reasons a dignified commemoration of the fallen is largely a thing of past in this country, is due to the 'look at me' attitude of pompous, virtue-signaling, self-serving war pornographers.

They own the war memorial at Haymarket? Never knew that.Very similar situation when your average shameless yam yokel claims they own their training facilities.

How many folk would be comfortable with being associated with this sort of hype knowing that our team were directly linked with bumping charities so close to the cause out of money?

Shameless really doesn't cover it and shame on the media for encouraging it when the real story is somewhat different.

It's actually pretty sick, when you think about it. Even worse when you consider the money they actually stole from related charities.

They really have no shame.

It's just another example of Hearts imitating their role models - the Hun !. The Hun still have an 'Armed-Forces Day' despite bumping the tax that would've went towards more protective-clothing, better equipment, transport etc, etc for the people they're paying homage to. The Jambos are the exact same - making damn sure they're at the centre of todays events despite stealing from the charity set-up to help the very people they're saluting - and all so that they could play at being a 'Big team' !! And not one - from either club - shows the slightest trace of shame or regret at their actions ! 2 clubs with so much in common - through their financial mis-deeds both have brought nothing but shame to the game and Scottish Society in general and our bent/inept media stays silent !

[SanFranHibs]

Don't know who, but my understanding is that it was paid and the reason why is because that was a crime and it was done to prevent an embarrassing criminal situation. Whatever else they got up to they go into admin and it can all be put down to bad management. Taking donations for the poppy fund and absconding with it or not giving it to the charity is theft, not bad management as the money was never theirs and not in any way a football income.

They really have no shame.

This isn't football rivalry, it human ****ing decency, and it is something they lack in spades. They co-opt a time of dignity, honour and respect, and taint it with their lack of any of the above.

And no, it's not because he doesn't realise Poznan is a place in Poland, that's just sad. It's because STF being repaid loans to the club is a terrible thing whereas I'm guessing that AB being repaid her loans is the exact opposite.

Also, the money to STF comes from the club - HSL money gets spent on players, SJM anyone?

I know they've never built anything like this one tier stand with an office block on the back before but what the hell is it about it that they think is going to improve the situation at their club?

Crowds down and the capacity is less than ours.

They're in debt that's affecting the quality of the team on the pitch.

Will this average looking structure maybe make the stigma of all those bumped creditors go away? Especially the Lady Haig Poppy Fund, Big Hearts and the Macraes Battalion Trust.

The fact that they are so easily distracted by the latest illusion is part of their longer term problem.

A bit off topic, but god knows why the creditors agreed to 0p in the pound. If they'd had any baws they'd have forced that lot into liquidation and then they would have had to scramble about arguing that the tainted trophies are still part of the newco's history.

[Arch Stanton]

It wasn't about 'baws' but more about future business.
there was no money to share but the club would survive and need the services previously provided.
makes sense.

I assume creditors that became insolvent didn't get a say, but even just one of the others saying 'no' would have scuppered the deal, no?

[greenginger]

Does that mean only the bank could have opposed the offer?
appreciate they were the major creditor but it seems harsh on the others.

Its should not have been required for the Ukio Bank to oppose the offer. They were a " connected " creditor to HOMFC through Vlad being the majority share holder in the Bank and his son being chairman of Hearts.

There should have been a separate count of creditors votes amongst the " unconnected creditors ". The HMRC vote against the offer would have liquidated Hearts, but that did not happen because the administrator Bryan Jackson of BDO broke the insolvency regulations and ignored the rules calling for an unconnected creditor vote count.

Hearts got off the hook with a bit of cheating the system. No surprise there I suppose.

There's very little doubt in my mind that Hearts should certainly have plunged into liquidation and there was a certain dubiety that they were put into administration instead, however, we've owned them for the last few years and long may it continue. Eight in a row and counting.

:giruy2:They weren't put into administration "instead" of liquidation. There was no dubiety about their going into administration. That was absolutely the correct and legal thing to do.

What the issue is, as GG has alluded to, is whether liquidation should have followed.

Yeah, above the law it would seem.

The administrator , Bryan Jackson left BDO shortly after the completion of the Club's administration and got a job with the accountancy firm Johnston Carmichael in Melville Street.

Johnston Carmichael are Heart's auditors.

I think most folk might have realised I was referring to the fact they were only put into administration without subsequent liquidation but thanks for clearing that up.

You still don't know it, if your only source is the yams themselves.

Says here (http://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst18663.html) they gifted it to the city in 1922.

And in 2008 the city still believed it belonged to the city:
Councillor Buchanan said: "I have not heard one voice for anything other than a return of the memorial to its home at Haymarket and as quickly as possible. "This issue is particularly significant to Hearts fans the world over, as the clock and monument were gifted by the football club in memory of the 13 players who fought for their country and most especially the seven who made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.

Shirley Drs Budge wouldn't be claiming something that isn't true? :shocked:

Shameless, not surprising though.

If UKIO did not accept the CVA then it would have been liquidation. They would have got the ground but only valuable if they could turn into housing/Tesco. City establishment closed rank and made clear it would have made planning permission for such near impossible. So better take 2.4 mill minus BDO fee 350K than gamble on getting nothing.

Not that I know of, but what could that body have done ? give BDO a rap on the knuckles. It would have taken a High Court challenge to get the CVA decision reversed.

I spoke to a friend who worked in quite a high position in HMRC enforcement section and he told me the fix was recognised by the tax people but they took no action as, whether it was a CVA or liquidation, all the proceeds were going to go to the secured creditor Ukio Bankas and it would be extra costs with no chance of a return of any of their owed ££££millions.

He also said the HMRC had not just forgotten about it. The taxman does not like how the insolvency system works at present. Too many bandits abusing the rules and proper purpose of the laws they way they have been written.

Next time there is a Parliamentary Revue of the insolvency process regulations , don't be surprised if the HOMFC administration gets a mention as an example of why administrators have too much power too little scrutiny .

We had tales of never being able to touch the famous historic atmospheric (asbestos ridden and wooden fire hazard) and it was to be protected by historic Scotland. Much was made of the land being of very low development value due to nearby buildings etc.

If the IPA had found BJ in breach of the rules, it would have been him that would have been censured, I reckon. (I would have welcomed a complaint, by the way, if only to allow BJ the opportunity to explain why he allowed the vote in that way. I know I've said this before, but having worked with him I would be surprised if he had done anything underhand.)

However, the bit in bold is, IMO, the important part. No-one was disadvantaged by the CVA vote going the way it did. One might argue that the secured creditor would have gained more in a liquidation, but no-one else would..... other than those who wished to see HMFC liquidated, of course. :greengrin

Bryan Jackson may have been a straight guy, but , back in 2013 he was being hailed as the " Saviour of Football Clubs ". Maybe the adulation went to his head and he came to the conclusion the the end justified the means.

I was told the reasoning behind the way the CVA vote was conducted was that Ukio Bankas was in administration too , therefor no longer considered a " connected " creditor.

There might have been some merit in that view if it were not for the fact Jackson had just finished the Portsmouth FC. administration (another club brought down by a dodgy Lithuanian Banker )

In their creditor vote there was a couple of connected companies who were in administration too. No distinction was made to them when the creditor votes were counted.

These companies votes were not counted in the non-connected creditors vote count, just as the Ukio Bankas should not have been allowed to out-vote HMRC .

All water under the bridge now, but I would love to know if Jackson was encouraged to save the Yams by persons high up in the political food chain. :cb

It's been a double edged sword really.

They saved the club and the ground however they've more or less been forced to stay in that location and are severely restricted in how it can be developed - as the current monstrosity illustrates perfectly!

Not only that the extra cost incurred in the current development and the fact it cannot be further developed will leave them hamstrung for decades to come.
