His name is Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Not seen it posted, not on this thread anyway, but Ann gave a timetable in her programme notes yesterday. In summary 1. Preparatory phase - piling, excavating, completing foundations, installing utilities and services - by 18th April (looks nearly complete) 2 Construction phase - erection of structural steel and concrete behind existing stand - target completion end May 2017 - installation of curtain walling comprising the "huge" glass fa?ade - starting 1st May target completion mid-August 3. Construction phase - demolish existing stand scheduled to begin mid-May - ordering of staging and seating currently in final stages of preparation - much of this is fabricated overseas. - new staging expected to arrive early August with all seating to be installed by the end of August. 4. The "Fit-out" Phase - all supporter areas inc toilets, turnstiles, staircases etc to enable supporters to attend home games, scheduled completion end August 2017 - also required by end ust: main entrance hall, Directors Suite, Media Centre, front Piazza 5.

corryjambo Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Roond ye Sir Gay, Vagillions and King of the Cockwombles, Greenminger. I wonder if the shares have been unfrozen yet. Remember their desperate measures in telling their gullible supporters that nothing could ever happen because the shares would remain frozen. What a bunch of sad weirdos, wonder how they feel now as our shiny new stand begins to take shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were very, very close to being liquidated, though, and the actions of some Hibs fans certainly didnt help us. That should not be forgotten ever.

That should not be forgotten ever. Rather than taking this superior, smug attitude we should be (& have been) taking a determined and hostile one towards them. This in spades. And all the more so when you remember that when Hibs' existence was on the line in 1990, a fair number of Jambos were quite empathetic to their plight. I don't remember any of them returning the favour 3 years ago. If it ever happens to them again, I won't give the slightest toss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 2 of the images I took today, didn't take long to put up the 1st of the framework either.. Great pictures there. What time was that taken out of interest? To gauge how quickly that went up. I think you start to get the scale of the building, how that is the far corner of the new project and it does not look close to the old main stand. Add in that there are some parts that are going to be even further out, it will be some scale when complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

been here before Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 That bit's bent - surely it's defectuv!!!!! Likely its unsafe and made in a steelmill by Lithuanian orphans who have been bought from the proceeds of robbing poppies. Itll ba a shoddily built death trap probably fireproofed using the asbestos ripped from the old stands. Nae bother though as the corrupt Edinburgh Council will just forego the usual legal and administritve niceties and wave it all through without proper process.
