Hearts' New Stand Thread (Merged)

[Firestarter]

Temporary occupation cert granted, but still outstanding the small matter of a safety certificate. What a ****ing shambles.

Games on as I said a couple of hours back.

Lump on Thistle the morn.

[Firestarter]

I'm really surprised that the SPFL have agreed to this.

If I was a Thistle player/fan I would be raging.

They are but need the game played too.

[thebakerboy]

What is Hearts hold over Edinburgh Council , can you imagine any building project for whatever reason having safety officers camping in a van next to project ready to sign a safety certificate anywhere in the country. This smacks of corruption at the highest level and is the best joke in the country right now.:na na:

[Joe6-2]

Maybe they meant 8 am not 8 tonight!

I was right!! What a bunch!

I wouldn't lump too much on...Partick are bottom of the league for a reason.

[mca]

If this doesn’t go ahead now I’m going to piss myself.


Me too.. im Going to set the alarm clock now.. :wink:

[Cinderella]

And still the SPFL are silent...

less than 7 hours before kickoff, no one will know if the game will go ahead. Words fail me...

The game kicks off at 3pm... not 5am.

Unfortunately.

Yeah, this thread is mental. 212 pages for a Hearts stand, and we have people saying they are the ones making a fuss about it. If TPTB here were coming out with the same type of rhetoric as QA we’d probably be lapping it up too. It will be business as usual after they get ****ed tomorrow anyway.

If it had been a straight forward stand build like our East stand nobody would have cared. The threads this long because of how farcical it’s been.

So it's not on then?

If they'd been low-key and just went about their business quietly and professionally no-one would've bothered - but that's not their way !. To everybody else it's just a bog-standard new-stand - but they talked as if they were building the latest '8th Wonder Of The World' before one single breeze-block had been laid ! It's been one of their best 'Own goals' in their wretched history and it's only natural Hibees have had so much fun with it !

There was mate, they got a temp safety certificate. Partick told game is on but there will be a further inspection sat 8. This is a formality though. Really hope Partick win this and see the reaction of the fans!!

Agree with the general point you’re making though. This shambles has been fun while it’s lasted but the real fun will be fine once they start losing regularly at the most atmospheric ground in the world.

Congratulations to Hearts for finally getting the go-ahead to have a game played in front of their not quite finished stand, 10 weeks late and only seven hours before the game is due to start.

[matty_f]

Just to put they're achievement into context, my son's 2003 side had a game go ahead yesterday no problem on a public park.

In fact, hundreds of teams managed to play a match yesterday.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

If this was a game against Celtic, us, Aberdeen or another team that would likely give them a skelp, I doubt the match would be on. They have just scraped by on a temp certificate to get the game on, against a team they have a good chance of beating.

That way they can claim some sort of positive PR spin with their new world famous park.

[Springbank]

I'll begin by saying I hope this doesn't even come close to happening today (in one part)

But imagine for a minute the safety officers had stood firm and called th game off.
The game would have been forfeited by Hearts, due to the unsafe and unsuitable nature of the stand.
Hearts would have lost 3 points and Partick awarded a 3-0 win.
No-one's safety would have been put in danger.

But imagine if, today, someone does get hurt
And Partick still win 3-0

Perish the thought, but I have to say it doesn't look safe to me from the photos that have been shared.

Hope everyone there remains unhurt today (it's just a game of football after all)

But I hope Partick win 3-0 in a glorious turn of Karma

The lead singer clearly likes Springsteen too much for his own good, however he's a good bloke. A friend of mine put on open mic nights in Arbroath for a while a few years back and got a phone call from him saying a friend was there and asking if he could perform a secret set at one of the nights. Did a fair few FR songs in a tiny pub in Arbroath for the sake of it.

Predictably the Sportsound mafia are salivating about the stand. PReston going on about the restaurant with a view of the castle. The penny hasn't dropped yet !
To be fair Preston sympathetic with Partick's issues with the delay and stated SPFL should have called the game off at 3 pm on Saturday as the safety certificate hadn't been issued 24 hours before kick off.

[Moulin Yarns]

I just heard on SSN, PT now asking the SPFL to review the situation tomorrow! They are not happy! Why remain quiet for so long?

Tynecastle statementSunday 19th November, 2017 at 1:05pm While Partick Thistle Football Club is pleased that today’s Ladbrokes Premiership match against Hearts will go ahead, we remain deeply unhappy that the decision was left so late in the day. It is unacceptable that there was uncertainty about whether a top flight game would go ahead less than 18 hour before kick-off.#
It is not right to treat players, staff and, most importantly, the supporters of both clubs in this way. It is a situation that never should have been allowed to develop – and it must not happen to any club in future.
On Monday, we will be asking the SPFL for an extensive review into the circumstances that allowed this situation to arise. Specifically, we will be asking why it was allowed to continue to such a late stage, damaging Scottish football at a time when we are all working hard to attract new fans.
As a club, we would like to apologise to our own fans for the late notice on the decision and any inconvenience it may have caused.

I note that there is a ‘cash gate’ open today for walk ups to the Gorgie Stand? Why would this be the case if they sold too many tickets to play in front of 3 stands??

It's going to be amusing in the next few weeks when they realise the stand isn't a superstar player that is going to solve all their problems.

A PT win today to start the process would be lovely.

Agreed - it's almost as if this stand is going to be worth 20+ goals a season for them !!

C'mon Partick - you can do it - 0-3 !!!



Will be interesting to see what attendance is quoted today.

It'll be their usual 'Full-House' with the Jambos once again camouflaged as empty-seats - with hopefully more appearing as the game goes on and Partick are winning !

[Bostonhibby]

So what’s the actual capacity?It's unlikely to reach 20k but it's only when totally complete things like Health and safety and public liability insurance, the SPFL (?) will require them to disclose the actual figure but a dot count when they officially declare it opened will also reveal the truth.

The press area is bizarre - apart from being too low it’s pretty small. From the various pictures I counted 24 seats, compared to the 100+ at Easter Road makes you wonder how the stand can be UEFA compliant.

Also, what are the seats between the dugout and press box used for? Don’t look like they are being used by the supporters?
