Tazio Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Everyone seems to have missed one of the most important thing in the statement this week. It's all down to the turnstiles at the end of the day. You can have all the seats and toilets ready to go and the safety certificate in place but if the turnstile operating system and software isn't working there is no way they can open the stand. And as anyone who has had any dealings with IT systems can tell you these things need time and testing to clear any potential glitches. Imagine the scenes if the system crashed with thousands trying to get into the stand for the match. The press would have a field day.

Not been tested yet but there is only temporary electric supply in the whole building,so it's not only turnstiles that need to be tested.

I understand that, but my point was that even if the council grant the certificate and emergency lighting etc is all good we totally depend on the company doing the turnstiles. We also need the public to understand that the stand, while ready to be used, will doubtless have an extensive snagging list so don't expect perfect finish etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) There are only 9 rows of seats installed in each of the front sections, so far, instead of the 10 expected from the plans. The configuration of the seats around the tunnel and dug outs also mean that some seats have been lost from the total capacity when compared to the original plans.

I know there are a lot of posters saying that a further delay doesn't matter and I agree that long term getting it right is the critical thing but the new stand looks fantastic and I'm desperate to get back to Tynecastle as soon as possible to experience it.

Heard yesterday that plans are in place for Murrayfield all the way up to the Celtic game. This person did not say that meant we would need Murrayfield just that contingency plans have been put in place up until that game should Murrayfield be needed. They thought the Killie game was a certainty. I just hope that if there is to be a further delay that we give ourselves enough time to have it finished/ready even if that means not moving until January or home derby. Also said that a delegation from SFA will be in attendance next week to see what Murrayfield has to offer with the lease of Hampden up in a couple of years.

Not moving till January would absolutely crucify us financially, the fact Killie game is 50/50 leads me to think Partick will be achievable quite comfortably. That's the most likely outcome i would think . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youd have to start queuing about two hours before kick off as those turnstiles service about half of the people that sit in the Wheatfield as well.

Don't think that would be a showstopper if enough notice given people could plan ahead. Although if the entire stadium is having automated turnstiles then that won't be an option.

Yeah there is that senario LD , those games would certainly cushion the blow of the other homes games that would attract circa 18k , they would def be loss makers .

You're probably right, but I was thinking more of it being of benefit to the East in general, rather just Hearts fans. As a city, Glasgow gets too much attention from the football world.

Hannibal Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 From what was said today it sounds like we won’t be playing there on the 5th, chatting to CL on the pitch and he was concerned about playing at MF the day after a rugby match. Progress meeting tomorrow and announcement afterwards. It really is awesome standing on the pitch and looking at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the seethe if the Killie game gets the go ahead then has to be cancelled at the last minute. The fine from the SPFL/GFA would be enormous.

Because in the real world stuff doesn’t always work straight out the box. Even if it does it will need reliability tested. Also the turnstiles will be linked somehow I’d imagine or there would be nothing to stop people scanning their tickets and passing them back to someone to use at a different gate so there will (should) Ben data links in place.
