Not sure what's worse the honkin jacket or the plywood tunnel door behind her.

Or the honking press area. What an ugly photo.

Really is amatuer hour over there.

However, shame about the naff club crest that has been photoshopped onto it!!!

I really think the idea of owning a football club has gone to her head. She's basking in the adulation being flung at her by the subservient yams. There's no way she's giving this up to hand control over to the fans.

Bit off topic from their sooper dooper stand, but my Hawrts pal was telling me they're about to release ANOTHER strip. That stand won't pay for itself you know!!

[monktonharp]

Irrespective of the stand shenanigans at Tynecastle, I find it remarkable that the 2 Edinburgh teams get 34,000 between them at ER and Tynie, without the OF being involved.we'll never beat 34k between us mate, until Hibs fill in the corners:wink:

Is it ok to laugh at Jumbo Jeffries trying to hold hands with Walter Kidd? By the way, in reply to the above post, I believe they are releasing this horrendous top as their 4th kit.

This thread, just as it should, will roll on and on and on so long as the savilles continue to make an erse out of themselves over tiny tynie. We have at least 6 more months of chuckles as things like the castle view lounge, plywood players tunnel and first chips ever come to yammy fruition.
I for one love this thread, I think it has equal amounts of wit and plurile humour, a perfect mix of the sacred and the profane and in years to come will be a much more fitting testament to the DR budge era than the sticky taped tin can stand itself. No amount of wet blanketry or yam lurking will stop this and of course you are free to not open the thread.

They can reduce it all they want but the floodlight pylon goes right through the center of it and will as at the other end cause a restricted view.

It will be the biggest symmetry in Scottish football history, and Hearts will rightly mark their achievement in creating the 3rd biggest restricted view in the country

Actually Roseberry Tailoring, which appears to have some connection with Lord Rosebery, whose family are, famously, secret benefactors to the Hearts of Midalbion. Can't figure out the difference in spelling though. Could it be that they misspelled themselves at some point, and Drs Budge's and Hearts' relentless lack of proofreading is some sort of attempt to ingratiate themselves with their toffships?

'The seats with restricted view will either not be sold, or sold at reduced prices if demand exceeds supply'


Demand certainly did not exceed supply so what's the truth - the folk clearly sitting in the 'restricted view' seats get them cheap ??


Btw - honestly can't believe the mentality of those who did sit there anyway, when there were so many spare seats elsewhere in their stand with no restricted views !!your picture does nothing else than expose muppetism. you are being naughty, are you not?

[NAE NOOKIE]

To be fair to Hertz they do have another first in Scottish football as far as I know and that's a ground with not one but two tunnels. Call me petty and childish, but if things are going well at half time when we next visit the supermegadome it would be hilarious if the Hibs players accidentally headed for the new main stand tunnel ... after all, the two side stands are almost identical and it would be an easy mistake to make, wouldn't it? :devil:

REDUCING it does not remove it. The key wording in the application is 'to provide better visibility'. That could be anything from one seat getting a better view to the whole lot. We'll just have to see what this £15,000 remedial measure brings. :cb

Guilty - however in my defence, it's mass-muppetism on such a grand scale that I couldn't help myself !. I get it that the stand is new so they're not acquainted with it's lay-out as of yet but the average human football-fan would, on discovering such a 'view', move immediatey to another seat (of which there was plenty !!) that had an unrestricted view - that picture just typifies the collective Jambo IQ !

Did they sit there the whole game? I think I'd have a go in one of the seats just to see how bad it was (forbye it's Hearts) - and then move if possible.

Chip jokes never grow old 😁👜

[G B Young]

Why should the media be asking these questions?I don't think asking about the cost of the stand is an unreasonable question to ask, especially when the most recent estimate of £12 million was back in August. It's the obvious news line when building projects start to spiral well beyond their original budget. For whatever reason, though, the cost is almost always referred to as £12m, which seems like lazy journalism (or in the case of the Evening News, reflecting their fear of offending Hearts).

The thread used to be a good laugh until all the conspiracy stuff started and if we’re honest the jokes about chips being served etc grew old months ago.

I agree some of the more recent posts are little more than an attempt to keep the thread going, but here again there are valid questions to be asked about the extent to which Edinburgh City Council were prepared to accommodate Hearts' desperation to get the thing open, especially when you contrast it with their exceptionally unhelpful stance at the time Sir Tom Farmer was looking to secure the Butterfly land to enhance our own stadium development. The fiasco was entirely of Hearts' making and it stuck in the craw of many (in particular Partick Thistle) that both the council and the league went out of their way to smooth over such a badly run project.

If there was a thread on Kickback analysing everything we do so much we would rightly be slagging them off for being obsessed with us.

The reason there's not a thread like this on kickback is because our own stadium reconstruction was such a streamlined affair that it gave no rise to any serious debate or cause for hilarity. As has been pointed out many times on here, the song and dance Hearts have made about what is, when all's said and done, just another football stand (complete with restricted views), is what has sparked the ridicule.

Just watched Gary Locke on Peter & Roughie and I've heard Harry Potter mention this as week that they've got a " new stadium "

And here's me thinking that all they've done is build a new pink stand

Where is this "NEW" stadium 🤔

Where is this "NEW" stadium [emoji848]They've nearly built the one stand, just one and it's overdue and over budget.

The bigger issue is their lack of connection with reality, that's why they think they've built a stadium. If they say it often enough it must be true. A bit like owing tens of millions of other people's money to themselves.

To be fair to Hertz they do have another first in Scottish football as far as I know and that's a ground with not one but two tunnels. Call me petty and childish, but if things are going well at half time when we next visit the supermegadome it would be hilarious if the Hibs players accidentally headed for the new main stand tunnel ... after all, the two side stands are almost identical and it would be an easy mistake to make, wouldn't it? :devil:

However, the Fact remains, and I cant see it being buried any day soon, that our gorgie chums have been given preferential treatment in regard to having council inspectors waiting in the wings at ridiculous hours of the day and night just waiting to give the green light.do you think this was ok, at the expense of the taxpayer ?

[hibby6270]

We'll just have to see what this £15,000 remedial measure brings.

I doubt that will be the actual final cost.

I thought amount was low for the work they need to. It’s not Homes Under the Hammer!!

Think I know why though if it’s still the same rules.
I’ve only applied for building warrant once in my life - a good few years ago. The ‘architect’ used advised me to “keep the cost down” on the application because the fee payable for applying for the warrant is a percentage of the cost figure quoted.

Good advice in my eyes, if not morally correct.:wink::wink:

In the Jambos case - every penny saved probably counts. Much as it irks me to say it, can’t blame them for trying.

[greenginger]

The Building Warrant for the new Tiny Stand , just granted last week , had building works estimated at £ 6.4 million.

Exactly my point. We have a fair idea the final eventual cost will be at least double that, if not more, but the fees will still be based on £6.4m. It’s not charged retrospectively on final cost.
Mind you, they could hardly say it was originally only going to be say £640,000. That WOULD have been a wee bit suss.

Yep, they shouldn't be charged on carpets ( no matter where they are displayed :greengrin ) or any of the other fit out.

Suppose they shouldn't be charged on all the extras they will have to cough up for because they forgot to order the seats .

This thread will continue for several reasons:

- The safety certificate is only temporary, there is still plenty that could go wrong before its all permanently signed off.

- They will have to confirm the official stadium capacity at some point and the yams will realise they've been lied to about the 20k capacity and the seethe when its offical that Tiny is smaller than Easter Road.

- They are planning on building a TV studio in one of the corners which has the potential to be a disaster as well as causing even more restricted views.

- The ongoing issue of the police box and how they are going to fix that.

- The spiraling cost of the project and how much debt they have actually got themselves into to build the thing.

- The interior fit out expectations (Chandeliers, gold plated toilets & Castle Views) versus reality (Strip lighting, breeze blocks & playground views)

- The slown dawning realisation that being back at Tynecastle doesn't suddenly make thier team any less s*** and they can't afford to sign decent players to improve it.

- The state of the pitch by the time they have played matches on it every week for the next couple of months

Aye but what about 5-1 and we finished you as a club and 5-1 blah blah blah

[green day]

That undermines one of the Going Concern assumptions in their accounts.

Perhaps, but that chimes with what Budge said a few weeks ago "it's a 2 stage project - stage 1, just open the thing, and stage 2, fit out and hospitality" which she said wouldn't be completed til June next year.

Comedy gold.

Someone did a link to the plans a few weeks back. Incredible though it sounds, the TV studio will be sited within the floodlight pylori between the roseburn and the main stand.

......and, yes the plan showed that there will be pillars (ie bits of the pylon) running right up the middle.

Once again, it's the lack of space that screws them.

:confused:

Precisely where it would seem it is impossible to build. I think they are building it around the pylon thing in the corner which holds everything up (the opposite end of the stand to the police box). The pylon thing is already causing restricted views so this will make it worse.

The had plenty space - it's their choice of design that's suspect. They didn't have to do the big truss/corner pylon thing - they could have easily made a bigger (capacity) double tier stand with a cantilever roof (similar to our own) with all the required accommodation within that footprint. They could then have had a control room, tv studio and hospitality facing the pitch. It would also have been cheaper than what they've done/are doing.

Maybe so, but I do think the similarity and symmetry of the stands makes the whole thing more of a cauldron than it would otherwise have been.

Why does a TV studio have to be overlooking the pitch anyway? Couldn't they have it underneath the stand somewhere and just project live footage of the pitch/dejected hordes trudging out the vomitories?

At the end of the day professional football has been played for decades, hell for over a century, at grounds just like Tynecastle and Easter Road as it was before the new stands were built with little or no danger to player safety, which is what it appears these run off areas are all about. Yes under UEFA rules Easter Road can host any match, but in order to accommodate those rules the East stand had to be built in such a way as to be ( like it or not ) too far back from the pitch side, leaving the FF and South looking detached from it and preventing Easter Road from being the enclosed arena it should be ..... easily put right by extending the FF by about 10 metres at its east end and extending the bottom deck of the South by the same to make them level with the East ..... but how much would that cost for the addition of about 500 seats, even if the ground would look a hell of a lot better?

We have overtaken them as a club, we are classy and cool as **** .. They arent and they hate it , and add to that the fact they now hate their own club for helping Hibernian lift The Scottish cup..

I thought the Eufa required run off areas were to accommodate modern expanded player squads. Tynecastle probably has a pitch and surround with much the same footprint it had when there were no substitutes. I don't think the safety of the players is considered in the equation.

The temporary occupation certificate that was issued for last week's match expired at midnight on the 19th November and has not been renewed.

At least according to the Council web-site.

If this has just been part of the Tiny Stand ongoing shambles, I'm sure somebody can nick into the Council offices early on Monday and backdate the paperwork.

5.1 minutes to Tynecastle Tesco, more cups than Tesco leith

Technically the 5-1 scoreline commemorates the 1996 final when Rangers (the home team) beat Hearts (the away team) by that scoreline. Hearts were the first club to lose a Scottish Cup Final by that particular scoreline in the modern era. The cup final of 2012, which we lost to the team funded by thievery and bumping the Poppy Fund (how do you even come back from the shame and embarassment of that?) Hearts were the "away" team again so, for the sign to be accurate, it should read "1.5 minutes". Does anybody know if they paid for the poppy wreath they laid at Haymarket this year?

Alternatively they could be celebrating the memory of the team that died from Govan. Or they may simply be too stupid to tell.

Shirley they'll bring out a moneyspinning commemorative strip for that? The current offering celebrates the fact that it's nearly 40 years since 1978, but it's limited edition and that (500x£50) won't pay for many gold plated urinal troughs.

Knowing what we now know from their very own creditors list, if I had the choice between the tainted cup win or the chance to avoid the stain that will forever be in their clubs history I'd go for the latter every time.

The Midlothians, the club that didn't hand over the cash to 3 charities they claim a special relationship with. What a legacy.

With every respect our attendances before we won the cup but after we build the new East stand often didn''t even half fill ER. I don't think we can really say about Hearts not filling their new stand.

IMHO There has been an impact on our crowds when we have played at home while Scotland are playing at Murrayfield. What today proves is that hertz CAN play at tinycastle (with a “large” crowd!) when there is a sell out crowd at Murrayfield at the same time.

we should not be disadvantage in the future by having to play when the rugby is on. Hertz should take their turn :agree:

Agreed we are a more egalitarian club but last week the Yams played on a Sunday in front of their shiney new half built tram shelter and still failed to get more than our 17k with no competition from the rugby.

Spent £300,000 on it too Billy - a very unexpected outlay (for Budge) and costly stop gap before they lay another pitch (I think next season). I think the issue they also have is antiquated under soil heating.
