Homme Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Maybe not the back wall then, but I'm positive some internals were being incorporated into the new stand, not just the reclaiming of some bricks. I have no idea where I heard that. Maybe it was just a suggestion from someone and not actually what is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Sifter Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Are we sure that's even seating? Might it be a big set of stairs leading to the rooftop terrace or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Maybe not the back wall then, but I'm positive some internals were being incorporated into the new stand, not just the reclaiming of some bricks. I have no idea where I heard that. Maybe it was just a suggestion from someone and not actually what is happening. There was an artist's impression of the new hospitality areas in the thread a good bit back and it looked like bricks from the old stands in columns in those areas. Someone, can't remember who, alluded that it was proposed. I think...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pans Jambo Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 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? I see the picture below (above) tells its own story on the back wall however; I did hear that some internal walls are being retained which is why the new players tunnel is offset from the centre line as they are ustilising the existing internal structure at that point.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 You can see from the above photo that the bottom rows will have to be at a shallower angle than the top section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the other stands. When you are getting a pie or a drink you can see the seating above you. I think it's seating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 You can see from the above photo that the bottom rows will have to be at a shallower angle than the top section. The lower 10 rows will be on a 28 degree angle. The upper 27 rows will be on a 32 degree angle. The Wheatfield is on a 34 degree angle.

I'm not convinced that 20,099 figure was set in stone. The artist's impression gave no real consideration to the make up of a directors' box or media area. .

To be hones I don't think any of our pics can do justice to the sheer size of the structure. It's gonnae be absolutely massive, a main stand to really be proud of :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May one-six Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The lower 10 rows will be on a 28 degree angle. The upper 27 rows will be on a 32 degree angle. The Wheatfield is on a 34 degree angle. I'm hoping there have been calculations done re sightlines with these angles. Currently you get a far better view of the pitch if you're in the lower sections of the Wheatfield compared to the lower sections of the Main Stand. I'd hope that there's not been a compromise made on the viewing experience of some fans, or, if so, I hope the cost of the seats affected will be lower than elsewhere in the ground.
