alwaysthereinspirit 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.?

Especially foreign talent. Now with a new stadium and the training facilities it'll be even easier to turn players heads. Not a lot of cities in Britain have the same feel as Edinburgh. The ones that do are not hugely into football per say. Win win for Hearts moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine you were a footballer with no ties to Hearts,coming to a beautiful city and your invited to have a trial with Hearts it's by no means your only option of a club,you see the training ground and the stadium plus the place you'll be living surely you'd put in 100% effort and where do I sign type of thinking.

Shanks said no Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm at a conference at the moment in the Presidential suite at Murrayfield. Rather than concentrating on work I have spent more time thinking of ways that Hearts can make their facilities better and more attractive.

graygo Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Or concave as I said to Derek yesterday trying to look as if I knew what I was talking about. If you had said convex you would have looked even more like you knew what you were talking about. Actually having thought about it it will be convex on the outside and concave on the inside (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the real thing is half as good as these pictures, we will all be in for a treat. Unbelievable the mess we found ourselves in just a few short seasons ago when the announcement was made that we faced closure, just before a St Mirren game. Now, in six months time, we are going to have a modern stadium and a ground to be proud of. Just magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazhearts Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Whats the proposals for car parking (Hearts staff , hospitality visitors, etc) ? I was wondering the same. There will effectively be no parking whatsoever when the new stand is complete. I think Hearts get use of the old Tynecastle High School for parking on match days. Fine whilst is lies empty. But if it's developed then there won't be any parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same parking as its always been.... old school and Weatfield where temp nursery is. Why do they need more? The school wont be that majorly developed in the near future so i wouldnt lose sleep over it lad. If they can survive no without the weatfield car park im sure they will live when it gets re opened.

Buffalo Bill Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Am I the only one excited by the cladding? I'm not crazy about the different shades of the cladding. I'd prefer it if it was all plain, dark maroon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pans Jambo Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Indeed it does. You can see the detail on the ground floor drawing on page 113.Nope. It curves out. Centre in, outsides out.

Buffalo Bill Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Some of the images show a metal, gated fence at the perimeter, whereas other show bollards. I much prefer the bollards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) BB - the cladding is individual coloured glass panels in a random pattern. The problem with maroon in a large area is that it can become a bit drab (no insult to our famous colours). Once you see the final effect I think you will be impressed by the outcome.

Could take a half time stroll all the way around the stadium Do you think they will link the main stand and the McLeod street stand? Not sure there is any need as the walkway would be permanently closed off to keep the home and away fans separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I like how the exterior wall behind the glass facade has the light coloured 'straps' through the brickwork, in what I am guessing is a wee nod to the same pattern in the current main stand?
