Pans Jambo Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The vehicle ramp by the side of N is staying but looks to be narrower (width just needs to be enough for an ambulance). Can see how many seats are taken up by it: Theres a picture/drawing posted on this thread that shows the main stand. The far left has a tunnel with a picture of a wee ambulance or something parked inside it. Perhaps the person who has this drawing can re-post so we can see it.

hughesie27 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 From Hearts' twitter (oooofftt!!!)

Footballfirst Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Do we think that photo is from section Q?

I.T.K Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Is the part of the old stand still remaining containing the location of the mosaic? Are they taking that part down with extra care?

OBE Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 It's protected against pickpockets as well. [emoji1] Top right of this picture is showing two girders, the old and the new side by side. The old will come down, but the new is already solid in it's foundation waiting proudly to take it's place. Double the thickness, double the strength...all positive...Strength to everyone who believe in this football club called Hearts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The vehicle ramp by the side of N is staying but looks to be narrower (width just needs to be enough for an ambulance).

August Landmesser Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 How long will it take them to get the mosaic out? Or is it staying where it is in the new stand? I've read somewhere (on here I think), that it was going to be too fragile and expensive to lift and move, so it's being left in situ and protected during the building works. I'm not sure which part of the new stand will be built around it - haven't got the plans to hand to try and work out its location - I would guess it would be somewhere fairly publicly accessible though as it's a cracking* bit of club history *not literally, I hope.

Thomaso Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Superb Picture. I do hope when our main stand is all done and dusted glammed up to the max outside of the stadium too is that cars can't park outside of the ground like in this photo some of those cars aren't privileged to be in the same vicinity of our glorious stand. Eyesores. The will be no parking in front of the new stand. The plaza will be surrounded by bollards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie_Rules Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Any idea if the mosaic will remain at the main entrance to the stand?

Sorry you're too busy to engage but let others enjoy it as long as its on topic eh? Okay. I'll get up early in the morning like today to cover the two pages of chat I've missed. I'm adding to the fluff so may I use this opportunity to ask stupid questions. Why didn't we use maroon opaque glass instead of grey to hide the concrete floor edges? What will our new capacity be? Why didn't we fill in the corners, at least two of them. Idve increased my subs for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can remember it's likely it could be done however the cost involved would be huge. Something to do with the structure not allowing. I could be wrong though.

Looks much better than being one short IMO I'm not being daft its a missed opportunity IMO Its not a missed opportunity its an architectural impossibity as the floodlights hold the stands up. We could knock all the stands down and start again but for the sake of a few hundred seats the ???? it would cost dont equate. The maroon design was felt to be a nice contrast in small amounts rather than all over the front its down to individual taste i guess but i prefer it as is.
