Hearts' New Stand Thread (Merged)

[SteveHFC]

Nope, no way should that host a game of football on Sunday.

The council will open themselves up to a whole host of risk and ridicule if it gets any kind of sign off and will put people in a position of potential harm.

The SFA / SFPL should have stated to Hearts they had until lunchtime today to get this sorted or the game is off.

And Hearts should be embarrased it has come down to this instead of reveling in the pride of making a half arsed job of it all and opening it up for the public when it isn't even finished.

There is no pride or professionalism with this for anyone.

They could have called it off on Monday took the fallout from it and moved on instead of a rush job that will be cutting corners and costing more money now and more money when all the faults start to show, Of course we don't know what is being said behind closed doors by the SPFL and Thistle

[Iain G]

Their first game in front of the new stand should have been a gala occasion with a grand opening by former players or local dignitaries.

Instead it's going to be a half-arsed rush job with minimal facilities available.

I imagine even the EEN will be too embarrassed to produce a 20 page pull-out lauding the event.

Just sums up that they have no class or desire to do things the right way.

Been told that earlier in the week there was nearly 40 issues to be addressed. Earlier today they were 5.

Guess we’ll hear tomorrow.

Fair play to the council using taxpayers money to allow Saturday overtime for the inspectors also.

This is the typical yam attitude that really winds me up. Are they really this arrogant?

I would like to think that the cost of those Inspectors will be re-imbursed by the club.

That is the bottom line there should have been a reasonable cut off time when it was a yes or no not this maybe, maybe not shambles.

Is it possible that they don’t plan to use that are of the ground and instead have Partick fans entering the Roseburn from the other side?

That in itself would cause some segregation issues but probably not too many given the opposition.

Looking at these pictures, they don’t seem to be in too much of a hurry to get that end up to scratch.

HAHAHA! They'll give Partick a phone about half 2 and claim the 3 points when they don't turn up in time 😂

[BSEJVT]

Excellent

Keep throwing money at it you fools!

Maybe you will get a certificate, maybe not, but all this rush will have resulted in a botched job with corners cut for which you have grossly overpaid and which will come back to bite you on the arse.

I would actually quite like them to get a certificate and for it to go badly tits up in the absence of proper testing, obviously with no-one getting hurt though.

There really should be a cut off point much earlier than 24 hours before the scheduled kick off time.

To treat the opposition and the fans like this is just shambolic.

Must be really bad considering their old stand was regularly passed as safe.

No, those stairs are emergency exits for the new stand. It can’t open without them.

Are there any boxes/hospitality in their new mega-sonic stand?

JNope, not if your hoping too watch football from them, but they have discovered something called chips which will more than compensate for this minor oversight.

Budgie probably imagined 400,000 prostrating themselves on the piazza Plaza while she waved from the Skyview patio and Locke showered them with chips.

Instead it will be less than 20k cursing after negotiating a building site to get in, fuming at lack of facilities, and booing another hoofball performance.

Good times.

48 hours before kick off minimum, it's not as if it's the pitch failing a late test from the ref it's the ground failing a late test from the Council on the grounds that IT ISN'T FINISHED ON TIME. :greengrin

They don't care about others though. Their arrogance knows no bounds, with the bragging about the council bending over backwards by providing staff for an inspection tomorrow and the whole establishment club pish.

As others have said, they'll be back at tynie soon enough but still forced to watch an utterly dross team managed by an arrogant clown. Plus the final cost of the stand will be £14m + which will need paid off before they can invest in the playing squad.

Returning again to the fact that this is still a “work-in-progress”, I want to stress that the building is, in large part, still a building site. As such, a number of points need to be noted, in order to set expectations and ensure supporter safety.

1. Only part of the Ground Floor (Main Reception area, the Players’ Lounge and the Supporter Turnstiles) will be open for business. All other areas are strictly out-of-bounds.

2. While the main concourses (North and South) are fully operational, a few facilities will be unavailable, namely one kiosk in both North and South sections and the disabled toilets in the North section.
Large kiosks in both concourse areas, with 10 serving points in each, will however be fully operational, which will provide more than sufficient capacity for supporters.
In terms of disabled toilets, supporters in the North section who wish to use disabled toilets will, for this match, require to make their way to the South section where disabled toilets are fully available.

3. I want to stress that not all concourse areas have been decorated to the finished standard, particularly in the North section. However, we will have everything fully completed and decorated to a high standard over the coming weeks.
Our principal objective has been to get back to playing our games at Tynecastle as soon as possible and, as such, our main focus has been related to safety issues, not décor.
In particular, I would mention that we still have to complete some ceiling sections (especially in the North section), but please be assured that everything is perfectly safe.

4. Everything above concourse level is totally out of bounds. Please adhere to barriers and to the stewards and do not attempt to gain entry to the higher levels. This would be a major Health & Safety risk and would almost certainly give us major problems in terms of gaining Safety Certificates for future games.

5. For the first few games, we will be restricting access to the new stand concourse area to main stand ticket holders only. While we appreciate that supporters in other stands may wish to “have a look”, we feel this restriction is necessary until all facilities are available and fully operational.

6. Please note that there will be no smoking facilities available to Main Stand users for this match. We will provide limited external areas for smoking as soon as practicable in the same manner as with other stands. However, at this point in time, please remember there is no smoking or vaping allowed.

7. Access between the North and South ends of the stand will, in future, be available via the walkway between the upper and lower tiers. However, in the short-term, this will only be allowed for disabled supporters needing to access toilet facilities in the South Stand.
Stewarded barriers will be in place and we would seek your cooperation by staying in your own concourse area for now.

To conclude, we are all very excited about getting back to Tynecastle Park for our game on Sunday. If, for whatever reason, this does not happen, it will not be for the want of trying. Club Staff, Construction Workers and Council Officials have all worked tirelessly to make this happen. If it can be done, it will be!

Thank you once again for your patience and understanding while we move forward with our development plans."

What an absolute farce this is.

If I was a jambo (god forbid) I don't think i'd want the game to go ahead with all these conditions and warning.

I think i'd rather just give it a week or two until it's properly ready. No way everything will have been tested properly so if it does go ahead it'll be a shambles.

[madjock9]

The SFA should be stepping in now and saying the game is off.

Given the comments I would not be happy too many areas off limits and is a barrier and yellow jacket temp going to stop someone wanting to go looking or a group pushing through.

The comment that it is still a building site should be enough for the safety cert to not be issued.

Clearly they dont care for the safety of their own people I for one would not have been happy to walk into a building site without any of those hard hats boots and other safety items you see on the posters.

A disgrace all round from Hearts to SFA, Edinburgh Council for this.

There is a smell on this thread.

[greenginger]

With all this effort to get the new stand passed for opening they seemed to have overlooked the status of the changing rooms under the Wheatfield Stand. ( Assuming they are the ones to be used )

They had a temporary occupation certificate to allow use for the Dunfermline game at the start of the season but that permission expired at the end of July.

Still, plenty time for a fresh application.


Spoke too soon.


https://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/idoxpa-web/scottishBuildingWarrantDetails.do?activeTab=comple tionCertificate&keyVal=O4JFW9EW01O00

Temp. occupation certificate for 1 month just popped up on Council Building Control web site.

Mind you the building also houses the Yam shop, ticket office, and the club offices and have been occupied every day of the week without any authorisation.

Just a small detail for the incompetents of Gorgie.

[StevieCowan]

So you think the SPFL would’ve sidestepped this issue if it was a game v one of the bigger clubs on the league..

Sporting integrity my erse, it’s Partick Thistle so who cares seems to be the shout.

So you think the SPFL would’ve sidestepped this issue if it was a game v one of the bigger clubs on the league..

Sporting integrity my erse, it’s Partick Thistle so who cares seems to be the shout.

I love the breezy "However...no guarantees!" as though she's speaking to a crowd of over-excited kids waiting for her to hand out sweeties for good behaviour. I do sometimes think Budge has lost the plot.


Am I missing something? It doesn't say that anywhere in the statement

Maybe it's you who's lost the plot?

E: I'm an idiot, it says exactly that in the original statement :faf:

That statement from Budge......what an absolute redder.

And some people criticise Petrie 👍

The cut off should have been 5pm today however the yams being the yams they will push on regardless.

I bet no other build in Edinburgh gets these sort of timescales. EDC should hang their heads in shame along with the yams.

I cannot fathom why the SFA or SPFL haven’t intervened. Shocking and disgraceful

To be fair to the horrific shower of 12 fingered gimps, there is finally a smell of chips in the air round Gorgie way.

Partick also have no other scheduled fixtures until they play us in December and half 8 games in December to negotiate. They want that game on.

[macca70]

Surely, if Council officers have been there today, they are saying, you can’t get a safety cert now but if this, that and that are sorted by tomorrow lunch, we’ll come back and grant a certificate.

Surprised that any public event with that size of crowd and knowing the stand will be full to capacity gets the go ahead with significant amount of work still unfinished and certain walkways/entrance/exits not available for use yet.

If you think that's bad (which it is), you should have a wee look at their stand thread!

Seems to be more Hibs fans than Hearts posting there, it's really winding them up so, if it's any of you guys, a big thumbs up to you :thumbsup:

"Restrictions

Returning again to the fact that this is still a “work-in-progress”, I want to stress that the building is, in large part, still a building site. As such, a number of points need to be noted, in order to set expectations and ensure supporter safety.

1. Only part of the Ground Floor (Main Reception area, the Players’ Lounge and the Supporter Turnstiles) will be open for business. All other areas are strictly out-of-bounds.

2. While the main concourses (North and South) are fully operational, a few facilities will be unavailable, namely one kiosk in both North and South sections and the disabled toilets in the North section.
Large kiosks in both concourse areas, with 10 serving points in each, will however be fully operational, which will provide more than sufficient capacity for supporters.
In terms of disabled toilets, supporters in the North section who wish to use disabled toilets will, for this match, require to make their way to the South section where disabled toilets are fully available.

3. I want to stress that not all concourse areas have been decorated to the finished standard, particularly in the North section. However, we will have everything fully completed and decorated to a high standard over the coming weeks.
Our principal objective has been to get back to playing our games at Tynecastle as soon as possible and, as such, our main focus has been related to safety issues, not décor.
In particular, I would mention that we still have to complete some ceiling sections (especially in the North section), but please be assured that everything is perfectly safe.

4. Everything above concourse level is totally out of bounds. Please adhere to barriers and to the stewards and do not attempt to gain entry to the higher levels. This would be a major Health & Safety risk and would almost certainly give us major problems in terms of gaining Safety Certificates for future games.

5. For the first few games, we will be restricting access to the new stand concourse area to main stand ticket holders only. While we appreciate that supporters in other stands may wish to “have a look”, we feel this restriction is necessary until all facilities are available and fully operational.

6. Please note that there will be no smoking facilities available to Main Stand users for this match. We will provide limited external areas for smoking as soon as practicable in the same manner as with other stands. However, at this point in time, please remember there is no smoking or vaping allowed.

7. Access between the North and South ends of the stand will, in future, be available via the walkway between the upper and lower tiers. However, in the short-term, this will only be allowed for disabled supporters needing to access toilet facilities in the South Stand.
Stewarded barriers will be in place and we would seek your cooperation by staying in your own concourse area for now.

To conclude, we are all very excited about getting back to Tynecastle Park for our game on Sunday. If, for whatever reason, this does not happen, it will not be for the want of trying. Club Staff, Construction Workers and Council Officials have all worked tirelessly to make this happen. If it can be done, it will be!

Thank you once again for your patience and understanding while we move forward with our development plans."


What a complete car crash of a statement, worse than anything that we ever came out with in the bad, old days when our PR was honking.

Total embarrassment.

What a joke of an organisation they are :agree:


Football club run like a village hall.

Any supporter would be cringing with embarrassment to read a statement like that from the owner... surely?

'No idea if the match in two days' time is going ahead... if it does, mind the place is a total building site... any disabled supporters needing the toilet better hold it in because it's a long way to the facilities...'

All with the jaunty 'it's a phased project - what do you expect?'

I reckon Hearts know there are unpalatable sanctions if the game doesnt go ahead hence the last minute nature of hoping they can get something basic approved. If it was a rap on the knuckles and/or token fine with a postponement, then that call would have been taken to postpone already

I reckon that there is a substantial fine (more than the cost of all the overtime), game awarded to partick, points deduction or closed doors game or even some combination of these possibilities.

Lets not forget this was supposed to be at Partick, but rather than move it to Murrayfield, Partick agreed to switch the fixtures.

I don't know why the opposition would want to bother turning up at all - now that they've got an office block facing away from the pitch and overlooking a school it'll be 3 points every home game now and the old Champions league special relationship will be rekindled, except they won't be able to play real CL games there.

Where is there a curved glass wall like that in Edinburgh city centre, pls? It's the curve that makes it special for me, rather than the glass. I can't even see the curtain that Drs Budge rabbits about.

Nope, just a ****ty gorgie slum.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Ashamed is too strong. I withdraw that word. But we could have had a curved wall on the East if Petrie hadn't been penny pinching at the time.

I'm not sure if you are at the wind up, but the east was a fantastic bit of business by rod

[Ringothedog]

Not photoshopped I don't think. I haven't seen the megastand from the angle in the pic, but have from the equivalent angle at the other end and the pronounced curve on it is genuinely impressive - sorry!

I like curves but their stand is bogging, and yes I am biased. Our old East stand was better than that carbuncle

[tamig]

Ashamed is too strong. I withdraw that word. But we could have had a curved wall on the East if Petrie hadn't been penny pinching at the time.

Penny pinching? What an outlandish comment. The club took the opportunity to complete the stadium at a time when the market was in our favour. Consultation with the fans on the design also. There is plenty of scope for further development in the East. But why would anyone want a curved block bolted on to a stand that doesn’t even pretend to be a main stand?

[Bostonhibby]

I just want it to end now, can the good doctor not just declare it open, have them all traipse in through the mud, and pretend they've gone through a virtual turnstile before eating raw potatoes and sitting on their cheap wee seats to watch the cranes until the generators run out of fuel and plunge the whole thing into darkness?

I miss the simpler days when we could just come on every couple of days and call them poppy thieves.

Where is there a curved glass wall like that in Edinburgh city centre, pls? It's the curve that makes it special for me, rather than the glass. I can't even see the curtain that Drs Budge rabbits about.

Well for starters I walk past this one on Lothian Road every other day:

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRrVs1MGUa54P85r-XJonqWJvttdd_no6ZtcoXPvCPFh4w1ACYS

Proper 'curtain' effect too :wink:

I'm assuming you're trying to wind folk up, but in case you're serious there's no comparison between our £3.5 million East Stand and Hearts circa £15 million main stand. Ours was delivered on time, on budget and does everything it's supposed to. Why on earth would Rod have thought forking out a curved wall was money well spent?! I salute him for helping to bring our whole ground in at the price he did.

Now if Hearts had built a stand where the section that faces the pitch (ie the only bit that really matters) was curved well, yes, then I might grudgingly admit it looked quite good. But to plough millions into what is, after all, a scaled-back version of their original grand plan just seems needless when you bear in mind how cash strapped they are.

Anyway, don't know why I'm even getting involved with this. 9.30pm and that's my shift finished. Time for a pint...

[lapsedhibee]

I think he’s trying to ‘wind people up’ on the internet. Which is actually just really, really sad.

Not really. There's plenty pish to be taken out of the yams for the way that they've been lied to, the farce of the building process, their delusions about the megastand, but the stand itself, can't see anything substantially wrong with it beyond the sunken dugouts and rainsoaked press box.

It's not really the same thing I know, but if it helps you get over the lost opportunity I think I know where you can get a good deal on a plastic owl instead of the gnome. £4000 if you're interested, you'll need to be quick though as demand is high.

I've made a couple of posts about how bad edinburgh building standards etc but I've also had a few environmental visits and talk of being shutdown because guys started work half an hour before the permitted hours or working late to catch up.

Another example of the council letting them away with murder. Anyone else would be subject to all sorts of environmental orders for working through the night.absolutely correct. my nephew telling me his squad of steel erectors working in an industrial area of Granton, being sanctioned for operating high work machines after agreed shutdown time of 5pm!!

I'm obviously in a minority liking the curve. Totally agree that from a less acute angle the elevation is much less impressive, far more officey/schooly than theatrey (like the Lyceum or Festival).

Is that not the way it works?I think you are perfectly correct. there is no mention in the rules of "just failed to meet the deadline" or possible quotes like "we almost managed it" or not by the lack of trying etc. all of these phrases are more than likely already in the Ann Budge book of gullable phrases. most Gorgie types have read that book back to front.

Many important buildings, old and new, in Edinburgh have curved walls - Usher and McEwan Halls, Lyceum and Festival Theatres, Cask and Barrel to name a few.

That’s true, I’m quite short and I’ve always considered myself to be quite atmospheric.

[Nicho87]

They're obsessed of us being obsessed with their stand 😂

[SRHibs]

Honestly, I think the stand looks fine. £15m fine? Probably not, but if it was neutrally coloured it would be one of the nicer stands in Scottish football. Their issue is that there’s no room for progression from here, unless they create a stadium from scratch. Conversely, if we continue to go from strength to strength then we can look forward to getting the corners filled in.

[lapsedhibee]

That’s true, I’m quite short and I’ve always considered myself to be quite atmospheric.

Which reminds me of another feature the yams' new stand has which our East doesn't - reduced prices for people with extraordinarily short legs (say 2 feet) and extraordinarily long upper bodies (say 20). Section T lower. They've thought of everything!

[Peevemor]

Faster anyway because the length of the pitch and run off combined is so much shorter/more atmospheric.On brokeback they keep referring to the PBS as a cauldron. Cauldrons are, of course, curved - so that's important too.

There are also a lot of curvy bits on their badge. Unfortunately the templates they used for the monoblocs and seats were printed out from a PC with an 8 bit graphic card that Budgie kept back when she flogged her IT business.

Ach, what's wrong with that, his club have indeed replaced an aging death trap not fit for purpose with what will eventually be a perfectly acceptable new stand, which will complete Tynecastle's shoe box appearance .. I get why he would be proud of that to be honest.

What brings a tear to my eye is the delusion of so many Yams who try to convince themselves that what is a basic stand is God's gift to football architecture. The outside is a bog standard office block and the seating deck is no better than our east or their own Wheatfield and lacks the finer points you would expect to see in a 'main' stand when it comes to corporate seating areas, press areas and their directors box.

So yes, Hearts are due a large amount of credit for finally building a new stand .... for what they have built, not so much.

Impressive that their new stand can be so expensive and so cheap at the same time.

oops, pic seems to be to big to reproduce :rolleyes:

[O'Rourke3]

Impressive that their new stand can be so expensive and so cheap at the same time.

Admittedly, from the right angle and in flattering light the curtain wall makes an ok mirror. From every other angle the shoddiness shines through.

It looks like it will last about 5 years.A bit like the old Internet game. ass or elbow?. All they've done is a add stone cladding like The Duckworths did all those tears ago in Corrie in a vain attempt to stand out.

I'm assuming it's a child who wrote this, but I still feel embarrassed for them.

He posts on here as Son of Haggart; usually quite sensible, assume he had a few too many last night.

You can't deny this is a good picture, one which puts our East to shame:

It is better than our East yes but only because our East is a bog standard stand. If they are comparing their main stand to our East stand then that says it all.

[Velma Dinkley]

Will the fans have to wear hard hats?

[Eaststand]

They are a shambles. Suppose that’s what happens when your owner hires her brothers wee tinpot company to build a multi million pound stand. They also all seem to be getting a bit upset about Hibs fans taking the piss. I’m sure if the roles were reversed they would be full of support and backing for us. Pricks.

That's the game...slag off her brothers business, even though he's a good Hibby

Ann Budge is a fanny she wears a workies hat
She hangs about construction sites in Uggs with steel toe caps
And when she built a new stand it had a big glass wall
But Hearts are still ***** on the park and gonna win **** all! HOOOOOOOF!

[Thecat23]

Just because her brother is a Hibby doesn’t mean folk can’t laugh at how much of a shambles this whole thing has been. After this I certainly wouldn’t hire him or his company, I’ve also got mates who are tradesmen and support Hibs but wouldn’t let them near my house.

Simple fact is, Budge and her brother along with the whole project have been a laughing stock and long may it continue.

Yes, those high balls dropping out the sky could end up hurting someone so it should be standard 😁

I've laughed as much as anyone at the saga over at the pink palace, and fwiw i agree that just cos he's Hibby doesn't exclude him or any other Hibby from any criticism, but do you know how involved in the rebuild budgies brothers business actually is ? Is he a major player in this project or just one of many businesses on site ? If you're not sure, is it fair to be calling a fellow Hibby's business 'tinpot' nah, that's just a daft cheap shot where i come from

I haven't been really paying attention but hold on.

It still no done yet?

My God.

And if tomorrow's game doesn't go ahead they should get whacked with a points deduction because this is a farce.

[jacomo]

I refuse to accept it's better than our East.

Good architecture is all about purpose and context. Our East stand is perfectly fit for purpose (the majority were in favour of a single tier design) and fits its context very well.

The Yams can't even ensure all their seats have an unrestricted view :faf: and their pointlessly curved office block looks awful and ignores the past 40 years of progress in building design.

Basic basic basic.

[green day]

A reminder, in case anyone missed Budges latest comical press release.........

With all these restrictions in mind, I really hope it passes the safety inspection by a bawhair so they get to see what £14m buys these days :lolyam:

"Returning again to the fact that this is still a “work-in-progress”, I want to stress that the building is, in large part, still a building site. As such, a number of points need to be noted, in order to set expectations and ensure supporter safety.

1. Only part of the Ground Floor (Main Reception area, the Players’ Lounge and the Supporter Turnstiles) will be open for business. All other areas are strictly out-of-bounds.

2. While the main concourses (North and South) are fully operational, a few facilities will be unavailable, namely one kiosk in both North and South sections and the disabled toilets in the North section.
Large kiosks in both concourse areas, with 10 serving points in each, will however be fully operational, which will provide more than sufficient capacity for supporters.
In terms of disabled toilets, supporters in the North section who wish to use disabled toilets will, for this match, require to make their way to the South section where disabled toilets are fully available.

3. I want to stress that not all concourse areas have been decorated to the finished standard, particularly in the North section. However, we will have everything fully completed and decorated to a high standard over the coming weeks.
Our principal objective has been to get back to playing our games at Tynecastle as soon as possible and, as such, our main focus has been related to safety issues, not décor.
In particular, I would mention that we still have to complete some ceiling sections (especially in the North section), but please be assured that everything is perfectly safe.

4. Everything above concourse level is totally out of bounds. Please adhere to barriers and to the stewards and do not attempt to gain entry to the higher levels. This would be a major Health & Safety risk and would almost certainly give us major problems in terms of gaining Safety Certificates for future games.

5. For the first few games, we will be restricting access to the new stand concourse area to main stand ticket holders only. While we appreciate that supporters in other stands may wish to “have a look”, we feel this restriction is necessary until all facilities are available and fully operational.

6. Please note that there will be no smoking facilities available to Main Stand users for this match. We will provide limited external areas for smoking as soon as practicable in the same manner as with other stands. However, at this point in time, please remember there is no smoking or vaping allowed.

7. Access between the North and South ends of the stand will, in future, be available via the walkway between the upper and lower tiers. However, in the short-term, this will only be allowed for disabled supporters needing to access toilet facilities in the South Stand.
Stewarded barriers will be in place and we would seek your cooperation by staying in your own concourse area for now.

To conclude, we are all very excited about getting back to Tynecastle Park for our game on Sunday. If, for whatever reason, this does not happen, it will not be for the want of trying. Club Staff, Construction Workers and Council Officials have all worked tirelessly to make this happen. If it can be done, it will be!

Thank you once again for your patience and understanding while we move forward with our development plans."

I've laughed as much as anyone at the saga over at the pink palace, and fwiw i agree that just cos he's Hibby doesn't exclude him or any other Hibby from any criticism, but do you know how involved in the rebuild budgies brothers business actually is ? Is he a major player in this project or just one of many businesses on site ? If you're not sure, is it fair to be calling a fellow Hibby's business 'tinpot' nah, that's just a daft cheap shot where i come from

I wonder if cash flow (or lack of it) has contributed more to the fiasco than the builders themselves?
