Thomaso Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) The curved glass facade will sit roughly just in front of the yellow marks closest to the road. Or to be exact - the front of the glazed fa?ade will be 46m from the lower beam of the new truss.

August Landmesser Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The curved glass facade will sit roughly just in front of the yellow marks closest to the road. It's going to be huge! That's about three times the footprint of the Old Stand. Cracking stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavydavy Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 love checking in on this thread. The hospitality area behind the new stand is going to be huge. Hopefully we can make full use of it's potential as it could and should generate one hell of a lot of money for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Site cleared and marked out for piling to commence. I see the plaque that was built into the wall under the big club crest has been removed.I assume it will be incorporated into the new stand somewhere.

Mars plastic Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 any idea when its supposed to start I'd imagine in the next few days. As I'm not involved in any of the external or structural works I didn't ask. The PM is one busy fellah so we had half an hour on what I'm doing then he was offski.

That's quite a distance when you think about it: 46m; or almost half the length of a football pitch. It's going to be huge, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Next season will see a resplendent new pitch and stand in place in Gorgie, eagerly anticipated by the head coach, his backroom staff and players. ?That?s one of the many things we?re looking forward to next season,? [Cathro] said. ?The new stand is an amazing project and we?re looking forward to having a first-class surface to play on inside what will become a top stadium. ?That?s a really exciting thing for me and all the players. The young players in the club?s academy can start to aspire to walk out on to a new pitch inside a new stadium. It will also help with players we might want to join us in the future. It?s a great thing for us to look forward to.?Read more at: http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/hearts-set-to-tailor-tactics-to-suit-tynecastle-pitch-1-4367720 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I heard some piling taking place in the west of the city this morning and thought we had started. Passing Haymarket I realised that was where the noise was emanating from however. Won't be long to wait though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazhearts Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 When you look at the size of the new stand, the number of lounges, glass facade, rooftops terrace with views of the castle.... We could effectively run it as a conference centre on non match days. I wonder how many square feet of banqueting / hospitality space we will have.

We could effectively run it as a conference centre on non match days. I wonder how many square feet of banqueting / hospitality space we will have. The main banqueting facility is on the 2nd floor. The club will be doing a number of things with this and the other lounge over and above matchdays. Take Rangers for example, they have the Argyle Restaurant in the Sandy Jardine stand, which is open throughout the week, where you can sit and look over the pitch whilst eating. Ours will be the opposite, you'll be looking out over Edinburgh as opposed to the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
