Footballfirst Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) The Bidco 1874 Ltd. accounts to 30 June 2016 were published today and indicate that ?2.6M has been spent on the new development to date. ?705k was spent prior to 30 June 2016 and a further ?1.9M to the date of the accounts (signed off on 28 March 2017). I don't know if those figures are are in line with the budgeted amounts. During the year, the business announced its plans to redevelop the stadium at Tynecastle. ?705k has been incurred up to 30 June 2016 in purchasing the current Administration building and developing the Wheatfield under-croft, which will be the business's temporary base during the main stand build period. The new main stand build received planning permission in October 2016, subject to certain conditions. Since the year end the group has spent ?1.9 million on the Tynecastle Stadium redevelopment project.

Interesting FF so just over 20% spend of budget already in securing land, knocking down the buildings, creating foundations and doing the work under the Wheatfield, it doesnt sound too outrageous or over budget. Not sure if the steel delivery will have been in that amount as well. Edited April 11, 2017 by Jamboelite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) I would still like to know how much of the old stand is being demolished. I asked this question a while ago and nobody seemed to know. This is all based upon something I read a while ago that some of the old stand would be incorporated in the new structure. Just wondered if this was true and if so how it would be done. The fact that new steelwork has been erected slap against the old stand wall seems a bit unusual if they were going to demolish the complete stand.

Might be the lower parts of the stand will remain, makes sense I guess , no reason to demolish the lower part just a re- structure ?

Erik Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I wonder just how much of an impact the ability to keep the old stand open and accessible has had on the project plan? As in, I wonder how much different, if at all, they'd be doing things if there wasn't a need to keep pathways, and routes in and out of the old main stand and all the health and safety shiz that goes with that? It must be adding a fair degree of complexity to the way things progress and such like I'd imagine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right mate, but to be fair the planning has probably always taken into account the need for access to the auld stand. It's not as if they've had to alter their original plans is it? Going by previous timescales given, it looks like things are going as planned. Could things have gone quicker if we could've just sectioned off the entire area? Probably. But that would just cause a whole lot of other issues I'd imagine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no absolutely - I know that its always been the plan to do it this way due to the nature of the project and theres no other way really without us essentially moving out for the duration. Like I say, I'm just curious as to how much of a difference this makes in the planning of such a thing and how different the timelines and timescales would look between doing it this way and doing it without having any need to keep the place up and running throughout Just thinking out loud buddy, no way am I suggesting its had to deviate from an original plan or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 If I remember right, the entire old stand is coming down but bricks from it will be re-used to cover up the steel beams inside the new stand, to look like it's been built with bricks.

Bad Religion Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thats my understanding. Happy to be corrected. It's extremely unlikely. It would complicate the design and be a logistical nightmare structurally to retain any of the existing parts of the current stand. Would also add to the cost. Some of the bricks from the main stand may be retained to clad the internal columns of the restaurant etc. as shown in the planning drawings. Maybe this is where the confusion comes from?

Jamboelite Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Isn't the back wall remaining in place? Or at least in parts? Think I read that somewhere. Yeah i dont think the steel being placed up against it means anything to be honest as part of the brickwork is staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
