151 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Can I just say an apology to anyone I have offended when I had a pop at the pattern on the side, the lack of lettering on the crest and the exterior look of the stand. That aerial shot is absolutely beautiful. As in a massive canvas in the living room beautiful. The way the cross sections on top of each stand line up now is spectacular. Also to anyone who ever quoted me and simply said "what until its finished" I am more than happy to admit I was wrong and eat humble pie. What a ****ing time to be a jambo.

soonbe110 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 If the project was behind schedule I would have thought that weekend working would have already commenced? However that costs extra I suppose. About 23 days to get it to a state where safety cert will be issued. Going to be a close call I think. Anyone know the deadline for informing Kilmarnock where a game will be played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Can’t see it being ready for the 5th. That’s 26 days away and we have installed 180 seats according to this thread. The far end closest too the roseburn still seems miles away from being ready. Obua, what’s your thoughts on completion and the 5th, you think this is do able? Defo worth waiting for, looks incredible, even more so when you compare it to the 94 picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 9 hours ago, Footballfirst said: Re the size of the "Tynecastle Park" sign, I noticed that there are five brackets across the width of four windows, immediately above the space allocated for the crest. The crest is two windows wide, so it looks as if the lettering will be between four and five windows wide. Understated, but fine by me, although I agree with FA that it might have been better with "Heart of Midlothian FC" above the crest. "TYNECASTLE PARK" will stretch over five bays of curtainwalling - around 7125mm overall length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing is, whilst we're due to play in it on the 5th, which is 26 days away - the date it'll need to be finished (to a certain standard at least) and signed off for safety inspections and whatever else will be a bit sooner than that. Do we know how late we can get the required certification? I think someone previously suggested a week before?! That would put us closer to 20 days left. Still not ready for a panic just yet, but things are certainly going to be very tight that's a given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboelite Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 While i have my doubts on the date i would say that it appears we are adding all the rails across the whole stand so it should be quicker to then put the seats in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowayjambo1874 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm sure when Celtic developed parkhead they had a friendly lined up and they literally got the safety certificate on the morning of the game? Could be my memory is playing up though. Tynie looks fantastic in the aerial shot but with half the lower decking still needing to be fitted and the Roseburn end needing completing just can’t see it being done in the time frame. Hopefully I’m being pessimistic and all will be well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I've posted a few new pictures on the FB group this morning. Nothing too exciting and all from the street. You can see progress on the pavements around the plaza and the cladding. Obua, you often ask what people want to see photo wise, my preference would be a view from the Wheatfield / Roseburn of the stand so that we can see clearer progress of lower sections, dugouts and seats and more views of the steps by the Gorgie end corner and the walkway between the two, it's been a couple of weeks since we saw the steel work for that go in.

Hahaha i go to games to watch football not to have a 30 second look at the castle. Why are folk so hung up on the need to have a view of the castle ?

Just because you, and the majority of other fans, won't actually use the Sky Lounge facility, that doesn't mean it isn't important to the club, and therefore something that fans will be interested in. If you're only interested in stuff that you personally will use, feel free to just discuss just that stuff, but let others discuss other aspects of the build if they care about, or are interested in them.

Part of the reason for this new development is to expand on our corporate facilities and have the main stand be usable all year round, not just at the weekends. Part of these facilities, the jewel in the crown some might say, is the Skyline Lounge. It's been designed, presented, and advertised with a focus on the view that it offers of, wait for it, the Edinburgh Skyline. Budge has apparently said herself she's disappointed with the true view compared to the advertised view. Nobody is trying to pull the wool over your eyes, Brave Heart. I'm happy for you that you don't use these facilities, but if they're not up to the standard we expected them to be then they're going to be a harder sell and ultimately impact any future earning potential. A lot of posters on here have put their hard earned cash into the stand, and with fan ownership on the horizon, it's completely acceptable for supporters to query and have feelings about something you personally may never use.
