Maybe bits of asbestos are falling from the roof.. or we need the scaffolding to get the calor gas heater oot the stand...

I've read some amount of pish on here with people pretending to be ITK and all that, but this takes the biscuit ... :rolleyes:Quote:

Surely you’d access the roof from inside the stadium through a hatch? I’m sure we’ve got that at the back of the East with fixed ladders?
I think the H&S regulations changed between the building of the end & East stands.Quote:

Seemingly we're moving the press box from the shelter of the back of East to the North Stand roof.
FFS man, you're just like Hibs.Quote:

They do. I have complained on a number of occasions that the hatch directly above my seat leaks in the Upper FF, second row from the top, that in heavy rain I get soaked.Quote:

That amount of scaffold I seen this morning then I’d hope they’re doing something more intense than running cables. Like plugging the holes in the roof.
Jeezo, what planet are you on?Quote:

I expect such praise will become a regular occurrence, but I’ll try not to let it get to my head, or brag about it too much.
Indeed, we are going to open an aerial view lounge especially to exploit this unique feature.Quote:

The problem is when Hearts discovered the potato they probably patented it because they are big on biznessy things so the rest of the world will never know the possibilities the potato offers.Quote:

Our decision to concentrate on the quality of the aerials is showing signs that it is a winner. Our next big dilemma is how to use them, but I've got a pretty firm idea of what that is.
Don't you mean £13M?? Budget management like a wet bar of soap it then gets to £21MQuote:
