Jambos Reality Check.

[Mikey09]

Funding this new stand seems to be a little troublesome. Heard it's over budget and is obviously having a major impact on player recruitment and players leaving as all funds will be going to the payment of this stand. Reality kicking in now.

[Waxy]

If the new bridge building is anything to go by, a couple of windy days could set back construction by around 4 months.

When is it due to be ready for?

I'm guessing a couple of months from now? If so going by the pictures I'd have thought they'd be further on than they are by now.

[Jones28]

But this is how big teams do it eh? Over budget and late whereas wee teams manage to do it in a closed season and for the budget set out at the start.

Oh I'm confused now.

[Arch Stanton]

It looked quite a clever idea when you saw the steel work progressing at the end of the season but now it looks like they've really Theresa May'sd it.

[Geo_1875]

Anybody got any pictures of their progress?

That looks like it will be very, very steep.

At least the Scottish Government put penalty clauses into the contract!


Credit for this goes to the civil servants who negotiated the contract and managing to get that included. The contract was not a standard UK government contract so I suppose credit to the SNP Government for allowing this unusual contract to be used. But not as much credit as they will probably claim! ;-)

I don't think funding will be too much of a problem.

Plenty floor space for extra cows.

I've just had a look at the transfer rumours thread over the road and it's hilarious.

They've made a fairly routine construction into a complicated logistical nightmare. Erecting steelframed structures is very straightforward providing there is space in which to work. The piles which support the structure are whacked into the ground, the pins to which the steel uprights are connected are then installed and the framework is then assembled in much the same way as a Meccanno set. Hearts problem is they are doing this in a piecemeal fashion as they have the asbestos stand sitting in the middle of all this. I can only imagine that the piles for the internal area have still to be driven in and that will have to wait for the stand to be dismantled. It cant be demolished in the usual way due to the asbestos sheets, this will significantly increase the time it will take to remove the old stand, this in turn will delay the piles leading to further delays in the erection of the steel. Im basing my interpretation on the presumption that its a basic steel framer, you never know with this lot, they could be building it with the boxes containing Vlads proposals for a super complex and hardened stale cakes for all I know

"Theresa May'sd it" 😂

Hope that sticks. Belter.

[Mikey09]

They seem pretty desperate to sell players and, let's be honest, will be replaced by more foreign free transfers. They're kidding themselves on with some of the players mentioned.

Maybe it's Levein's office that's surrounded by the asbestos? He appears to be 'fire'proof.

Unless the asbestos was an unknown factor, the original programme should have that phase of the demolition work accounted for in the time scale.
The possible presence of asbestos would/should have been investigated before the design & tendering process began.

FOH 'interview' in the EEN masquerading as an advertising feature.

I just had a look as well. They're all arguing with each other and asking for a square go. It's hysterical.

Budge's Hibs fanatic brother shafting them?

Pleasing...

[jonny]

Jambo family member of mine wanted to get their old man hospitality at Tynecastle for an upcoming birthday.
He was told that the earliest it would be available is February 2018.
I'm not reading too much into this in terms of the timescale for the stand opening but they surely can't have budgeted for no hospitality till February.

Is the new stand single tier?

When the best part of your stadium is the truss/girder, you know it's a bit of a dive.

No. It's still a truss with the old stand underneath... but the truss is an architectural marvel
