JALBO Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I take it they never started taking roof down today?? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk No, not according to the steward I chatted to after I was down renewing late this afternoon. He thought it was another week before the roof would start coming down - but then again, that may be his opinion only. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Kila and his phone who was up the other end peeking in the open gate. Unless there was somebody else taking pictures and they've not posted them?

Thomaso Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Totally agree. I don't see anything tacky about the badges - they are part of what makes Tynecastle look a bit different from countless identikit grounds. Also quite subtle and not too in your face. I also love the badges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I presume they are still putting in lifts and the escalator, I think I still see holes in the roof where the lifts can be placed but how will they get the escalator in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboozy Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) I take it they never started taking roof down today?? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Not been near the site, but a good indication that the roof removal will be Haz-Mat containers to put the roof sheets in as they have to be encapsulated to dispose of safely. Removal of asbestos sheets is taken very seriously by HSE as you have to make sure it doesn't become airborne.

dannymack Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Apologies if already been posted. The I think Hearts have missed a trick with the demolition of the Main Stand, I've visited the area a few times recently in hope of gaining access to the Wheatfield/Gorgie concourses but sadly to no avail. I was hoping Hearts would allow the fans, who wish to record history in the making, a vantage point to do so, yesterday as i was in renewing the season tickets i asked again if it was possible, the security guard laughed and commented on the health and safety aspect as there would be dust clouds blowing over towards the Wheatfield Stand, he knew it was a petty excuse, i knew it was a petty excuse but he was under strict orders. Funny how there was at least 100 school kids out on the distillery pitch training and what with the Grangemouth and Moss Morn plants not that far away i just wonder how safe we are from the Main Stand demolition dust. If anyone has pictures of the pitch side demolition PLEASE post for people like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymack Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 and when i talk of vantage points I'm not asking for full control of the diggers or actually on site, as i say a vantage point within a "safe" area within the Wheatfield of Gorgie Rd End would be suitable.

bam95 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Walked past today to renew my season ticket. For anyone who hasn't/can't see the new stand - it is bloody huge, even more so in person than the good photos that have been posted. Must be about 3 times the depth of the old stand. It will be magnificent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut The Crap Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Twenty-two years ago I spent a fair chunk of the summer regularly checking on the progress of the construction of the Roseburn Stand from the Gorgie Road End seats.

No ill effects from dust clouds so far... Yes I stayed in Dalry at the time and used to pop along regularly to oversee the construction of first the Wheatfield and then the Roseburn. Sadly the H&S initiatives have taken a greater importance these days. Better safe than sorry I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need a hole in the roof to put a lift in. Everything will probably go in from the bottom and hoisted up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
