Mars plastic Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Question... Why have the steel beams been painted white in preparation for the composite material? Fire retardant or something similar? It's intumescent paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgiewave Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 A bar and food stalls before the game would be good. Face painting is popular. Seats and such. Money to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamborello Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Great to see the place opening up a bit. The plans show one larger and one slightly smaller Hearts crest in the paving on the piazza area. Does anyone know how that will be inserted? Is it by brick, or somehow painted/sprayed onto the surface? I'm sure I read on the council planning portal that the crests would be custom made by the monoblock company. Re: the section H seats, somebody mentioned it a page or so back, it certainly loooks like they've been replaced.

Question re the last pic: Is it a trick of the light or have they replaced/re-painted the seats in Roseburn section H? Awesome photos, all of them.

dannymack Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Were the folk that sit in the area of the temporary dugout/tunnel not informed they would be moved back to their original seats as soon as possible? Must be somebody from there posts on jkb knows for sure. I was not able to sit in my seat for the friendly and League Cup games, was told business as usual for the Aberdeen game (not now though obviously) fully expect to be sitting in my seat come, Kilmarnock/Ross County.

dannymack Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Too many people have replied so can't quote everyone By silly I mean the daft coloured panels on the side differing colours and sizes just looks daft in my opinion. But I of course agree it'll increase revenue for many a decade and means my sons will be able to take their sons to Gorgie and not some other place that we could have been served. But my opinion is those daft panels on the side look strange and out of place. Only thing that looks silly is you Agree with your point on the red coloured panels, each to their own and no one should be hung out for a spot of criticism GB Jambo.

Bowmans_Boot Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Agree with your point on the red coloured panels, each to their own and no one should be hung out for a spot of criticism GB Jambo. Agreed. I am not a huge fan of the glass, either, if I am honest, but it is what it is. The team on the pitch will generate the revenue, not the outside of the new stand.

dannymack Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) The red and maroon parts at the ends look a bit 'loud' in the photographs (don't get me wrong, I want to thank everyone who has put photos up), but when you see the whole thing as it is now, they are pure class, a bit like the maroon embellishments on our new, turquoise away strip. Am surprised at the idea that the main stand at Ibrox looks better. Ours is classier, by a long way. Ibrox is a few years short of 40 years old and is an outstanding stadium, was in the Copeland Rd for our game the other week and had a grand view of their Main Stand, granted the newish support structure for the extended decks is weathered and needing a gid wa'sh but just like our dear departed Main Stand it's a work of art and class.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've said my peace on the outside -- it's not my preferred style but it's lovely in its own right. But the pics of the decking going in on the inside. My word -- it's sometimes hard to believe these are real photos and not artist's renderings. That's going to be a huge and intimidating monster of a stand. When it opens we'll have a run of 8 home games out of 10. Imagine if we hit a run of form during that stretch...

dannymack Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Argyle house and the third tier on the main stand weren't added til the early 90s IIRC That's right, i remember the transformation of the pitch side viewing decks being added, the sheer size of the structure and works being carried out, an added bonus for them was keeping the facade of the Main Sand.

The old fa?ade at Ibrox is indeed an impressive piece of architecture from another age. It should be noted that the cost to build the Club Deck alone back in 1991 was ?20m.

BigC Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 How did we manage to order seats for Section H but not for the new stand? I think we used some of the seats from the main stand to replace the sun bleached ones in the Roseburn. It was mentioned that as well as forgetting to order seats, some more of the seats from the main stand that were still in good condition, were supposed to be kept for the Roseburn, but were chucked by mistake. Not sure if it's true or not, but as I say, I saw it mentioned on another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterion Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The old fa?ade at Ibrox is indeed an impressive piece of architecture from another age. It should be noted that the cost to build the Club Deck alone back in 1991 was ?20m. I agree - the external brick build of the Archibald Leitch stand at Ibrox is impressive. I think the work done to add the 3rd tier into the stand is quite well done but I do know one bluenose who doesn't like it. The rest of Ibrox isn't any great shakes in terms of impressive architecture. They have built a big capacity stadium on the backs of fans money (Rangers Pools was supposed to have generated a significant amount to help, I haven't seen it for a long time but scratch cards used to be another way they made money). When Hearts played Falkirk during the 98 Scottish cup run one my memories of the Ibrox main stand was it was that seating was a little too cramped and it wasn't great.
