I thought this was worth moving out of the News Forum. Looks like we're running to schedule.
And there's mention of the Singing Section too.
They are making great progress.
Any news on how the plums new space age 400,000 seater mega stand is coming along? :dunno:
On reading this it appears that the pitch won't be moved to the West, only the track on that side will be widened and the goals won't be in the middle of the FF and South? Surely gonna look a bit daft?

it will be a bit off centre but if hibs want to host internationals or semi finals then its a small sacrifice to make :agree:

nae luck if you have just renewed yir ST to behind the goals,you will now be sitting 4 metres away to the left or right.
Imperial Vladamir Romanov Media Bullitin from Imperial TASS official News Agency:I would like to announce to all the Great Hearts Fan People and Believers that the Planned New Stand will be complete soon.
I have agreed with my financial allies and they have agreed to divert funds to the project and allow The Structure to be built.
I have also come to great important deal with Lada to have all old cars sent over in special container in submarine to be used in building of stand.
To help this costs I have agreed to sell assets in Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, USA, Scotland, Slovakia, Slovenia. This will allow the diverting of money to special fund.
Some assets are very very important big and special Alumina Mills whick we own . Other assets will have to be recovered from special investments and areas.
We have also sent new planning application by large truck to Edinburgh council as we now have the truck free after taking Mr Nade to the Airport.
On another point. As Chairman and owner i will always support this club and it is so close to my heart just like an assassins bullet. You must believe what i say and understand ...if not please read previous sentence.
Your very rich owner
Vlad xx
I need to go now and close steel shutters on windows as safety measure.

Was surprised when I read this...
"It is understood Hibs have asked the SPL that at least their first home match of next season be played away from home but a similar request as the West Stand neared completion resulted in a visit from Kilmarnock on the opening day."
Utter stupidity from the SFA/SPL/whoever if true. Surely it can't be that difficult to reschedule?
Anything that casuses the SFA to think they shoot down. Ofcourse if Ibrox and Celtic Park where having work done they would get a few weeks off and get to play wherever and whenver they wished.:grr::grr::grr:Quote:

:agree: This seems unreasonable even by the SFA standards. Must be a massive hassle to Hibs and mean re-issuing tickets to season ticket holders etc. I'll be raging if they do that again.Quote:

I don't know whether Killie opposed the move, but I suspect the SPL were just being difficult.
So the supporters / signing section is 1000 seats and is the back 3 blocks of the stand towards the South ?
I'm sure Hibs will get more than 1000 people interested in this :agree:
Sounds good :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Seems to me that all teams would actually want to play their opening game at home in front of their fans.

Sorry, what's this about a new stand at Tynecastle? I drove past it the other day and didn't see any demolition / building?Quote:
