I like to think a quality mural would have no adverse effect but you can understand why it might worry the residents a little. I think it would be wonderful but then it's not my property or my money. Hopefully they'll manage to iron out any issues - it would be great if it could go ahead. Would brighten up a dour looking gable end very nicely. I was very happy it is still on the drawing board and talks are on going. No bad mouthing of hearts or Anne, just normal folk with a house and mortgage. And by the sound of it, it would look much much better than a painted wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamhearts Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Having used the new main stand only a few times now Hospitality in March and the ICT and Cowdenbeath games, can I say the facilities are fantastic plenty kiosks selling a wider selection of foodstuffs, brand new toilets, Hospitality lounges, fans bar even down to the modern turnstiles. I'm sure AB stated that this would all be replicated in the other 3 stands I know Rome wasn't built in a day but does anyone have an update as to when the other 3 stands are getting refurbished and new turnstiles installed, or has this part been shelved due to costs for the main stand.

Jambof3tornado Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Slight dig at the new stand here. Noticed at the inverness match that wheelchair users struggle to get by each other. Several times one chap had to turn his wheelchair side on to the pitch to let other by him. How on earth did the club fail to get this right? As I'm normally in the wheatfield lower its not something I'd noticed before but has it been raised before as an issue? Other than that I was impressed with the stand. Back to the cheap seats for celtic!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I’m sure I read that the mural won’t be specifically ‘Hearts’ related but more ‘Gorgie’.

Because of the dugouts, lower R stair takes you directly in front of a couple wheelchair spaces, not a great spot for someone to be in. I've assumed the pitch side concourse is the same depth as the other stands, that not the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation as both my brother and I have dealings with wc users through work and felt it was a bit of a let down by the club.

Possibly beam back big games and have the plaza as a viewing area - if we were allowed of course. I do like that idea a lot. Especially if the plaza is used for the odd food stall or other vendors. Would look great at night games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimosavi Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 5 hours ago, neonjambo said: The issue with any type of membership to a bar is that it is a great way to generate early income, however if for whatever reason the team stop producing on the park, then your clientele buggers off and you are now left in a situation where no one is coming and you can't promote it again due to failures on the park. You also alienate the rest of the support who may just want to drop by for a pint after the match, these people in my opinion are more valuable than a 200 pound membership. Owned 3 bars over here so I know a little about the business. Have to agree with this 50 pissed off punters with memberships drinking up at McCowans alienates 50 walk by customers Its a pub no a Gym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertarian Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 5 hours ago, Gershwin said: I'm obviously not sure it's plausible but could they not create a tented seating area outside the new bar to temporarily increase the capacity on match days? What about January and February? Could be a danger of hypothermia. I suppose we could replace the tent with a giant igloo! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it was an 11am opening for a 12pm kick-off meant everyone was heading straight to the bar at the same time. I got in about 11.05 and the queue was massive already.
