jambos are go! Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Ah, cheers for that. I was thinking it was further West. Totally off-topic now, but I only recently found out about a stadium which did actually exist in Stenhouse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenhouse_Stadium Remember seeing the crumbling Tote Board when I used to walk through the path at the back of Prison to the Longstone inn around 1970. Think it was also used for Showjumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus_Barkus Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Anybody know when the material was meant to arrive from Korea?

davieholt Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 7th august I'm pretty sure Ann said the staging was being sent on 3 ships with the first arriving 7th august. I half remember her adding that the last was due around 15th. Could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab87 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Will there be temporary entrances for when we have our first home game, or do that plan to have the outside area finished by then?

Fultons Right Leg Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 A family member of mine is an Engineering Surveyor. He?s doing a job at the distillery today inspecting a 1 million litre storage tank. It?s to be drained and then they?re sticking a camera inside to have a wee poke about. He told me it was all to do with Hearts new main stand but that?s all he knew. Can only assume it?s something to do with the fabled safety certificates?Not massively interesting but there you go.

At what level of the project is this person involved. They must be very high up in the pecking order to know that the council will not give us a safety certificate five and a half weeks before it is due, and we will have to play 4 games at Murrayfield and we will not have a safety certificate before 21 October.

Well ahead of where we are at on the 8th and still not finished on the 29th. There are big differences though. The staging will be much lighter, which may make it easier to put in quicker. They could have more people on seat adding duty. The roof work is further ahead than it was on the Wheatfield build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll hopefully have less distractions and it'll be all hands on deck. I think they'll fully concentrate on the bare essentials, possibly making for a faster time than the Wheatfield.

Thomaso Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The red is baffling. Why red and not a different shade of maroon? Looks wrong. There is no "different shade of maroon" available Ray.

I can only but laugh..........we have posters, including 1 certainly in the know, answering points in a clear & concise manner & then..............this sort clearly picked up from nowhere!!! The Club have contingencies in place, but despite not being ITK, I am confident that ALL contractors on site are trying their best to get the stadium finished to meet the demands of a safety certificate to allow the match vs Aberdeeen to be played at Tynecastle. It would be good to support the guys on site & please try to ignore the "a guy working there told me" type of posts.
