New Stand: Ongoing work (updated)

Recommended Posts

Just stopped on my way past. Looks like about 30 guys working away at the Roseburn end. Could be an all-nighter.

 

Otherwise, if you've not seen it in person yet you are in for a treat. Looks absolutely stunning in todays mixed light. Rushing just now but I'll post a couple of pics up this evening.

We need to think of a new title for this thread for when we get the go ahead.

 

New stand: Open for business ?

New stand: We're coming home?

New stand: FTH?

The way into the old stand at the end of last season was on temporary surfaces

 

The away entrance doesn't look a problem in comparison

When the "official" confirmation is communicated by Ann, I think you & obua should be in the background giving it the "thumbs up" & a 1 - 5 to boot:thumbsup:

 

Don't expect any news today folks, tomorrow is the day.

Agree with that based on what I’ve just seen. In hand but guess a good few hours work still to be done.

It's funny, I loved that stand (sat in it for about ten years), but it looks a bit shit in retrospect, doesn't it?

Been told that earlier in the week there was nearly 40 issues to be addressed. Earlier today they were 5.

 

Guess we’ll hear tomorrow.

 

Fair play to the council using taxpayers money to allow Saturday overtime for the inspectors also.

I really like it in stylistic terms, it looks great. It didn't when all the eyesore building where in front of it but in that image you shared I love it.

Is that a Tarmac wagon or is it tipping hardcore?

It's probably the same Tarmac wagon as I saw parked in the School entrance when I passed by around 1pm.

 

Tarmac wagons can also be used to tip hardcore.

Is the future segregation not going to be a little tight having both exits so close? Eg old firm or hibs days.

Doubt home fans will exit at that end of the stand. That only be for emergencies.

The regimented grid pattern of the exterior shown here is a style shared by the New Main Stand. I'd speculate that this could be an intentional architectural nod to the old stand from Jim Clydesdale.

The stairs at the away end will be emergency exit only!

My old man has been working on the site and has been bang on with everything he's told me since the build started and he's saying nobody will be stopping until whatever's needing done is done. He saying fire alarms might be the hold up but another inspection tomorrow...fingers crossed.

Hard to believe this threads drawing to a close 

I think it will still have some legs still got lounges to finish and probably numerous other rooms.

 

Would love a VR walkthrough.

Doubt it is (I hope). I think it will continue as long as work is being done on the new stand and the stadium.

What makes you think it's drawing to a close?

The boke factor on ididntmeantoputitinsidehercauseakenshesmysisterlikes.nut will be escalating beyond seething foamer Level as we speak. 

 

Each day with each finshing touch this new stand looks better and better and better

 

It’s as simple as yer best mate having a better looking wife than you. Just accept it, the gap can’t be bridged. 

 

Thats how hobos feel

 

FTH
