All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 No need. Freely given in the spirit of 'Together'. I will add, though, that it's blooming big, rather imposing and is going to look superb. Nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannymack Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Is the mosaic floor being left in place or is it being lifted and moved to a new location,do you know? It's been protected as we type, it was going to cost far too much to even attempt to move it and then the risk of damaging it was too much. It's going to be viewed as a "masterpiece" from where the original main door used to be, it's not going to be walked upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomaso Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Won the League Cup in 1958 and 1959, League Championship 1959/60, League Cup 1962, First Division 1979/80 and the Scottish Cup 1998. There were no badges on Hearts strips of the 50's and 60's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannymack Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 There were no badges on Hearts strips of the 50's and 60's That is correct but the crest was introduced in time for the 1958 League Cup Final, the players and officials wore the crest on their blazers. As far as I'm concerned that crest represented the club ( apart from the Gorgie Rd End entrance sign ) from 1958 onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The Ajax style top of 72/73 had an underwhelming HMFC in the middle of the maroon part. Similar to the RFC that Rangers had on theirs. Wearing club crests on shirts arrived quite late for Scottish clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think everyone was hoping for a replacement main stand, it's a bit late in the project to break the news that it's going to be "something else"!!!

RustyRightPeg Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Drove past for the first time since the works started taking place last night. Pictures don't really do it justice. We, as fans should be supremely proud of what we've managed to do over the past 3 years off the pitch. This new stand really should be a driving force behind our positive future of our amazing club. Yes on the field matters since the turn of the year have made things feel a bit down & negative but every time this thread is updated with new photos of this stand showing the progress being made, we really, really should beam with pride. I cannot see anything but a positive future for Hearts. This blip in the road (January till May) should be seen as one step back before we make five steps forward. We as a fan base should use this as a spur and get right behind the owner, management, current squad and be unified going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Ive never truly noticed how much the truss bulges until seeing that viewpoint. Quite unique. I think that is just the wide angled shot that is showing it like that. I think it is just the same as the trusses on the other stands.

JohnB Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) An old pic from the stand of Hearts v 3rd Lanark paying their respects to Hearts' Manager Dave McLean who had died earlier that week The depth of the grass "run-off" behind the goals and in front of the Main stand would surely suggest the pitch size must have been at it's smallest ever?

alwaysthereinspirit Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Be interesting to know the actual pitch size back then. The track used to be massive on the stand side.

davieholt Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I don't think the pitch was smaller then, I think it was actually bigger. It looks like the new stands encroached and reduced the size of the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Is that is that John Hagart behind Andy Lynch? Could have been the trainer at that time. Bit of a surprise seeing Jim Cruickshank running. Word at the time was he'd do anything to skive off such stuff. He didn't see the point for being a good goalkeeper. He was probably right as well. These days goalkeepers get specialised coaching, which maybe doesn't include too much of this kind of stuff.
