jamboinglasgow Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 the SRU are looking at some development proposals that could change elements of the east stand. I don't think they include raising the overall height to the same as the other three stands, but if they did, Murrayfield could seat around 80,000. Crazy if they did ever expand it to that. Though international rugby does seem to sell it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Brightside Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 When they built the new stands at Murrayfield I remember them drilling holes then smacking big concrete piles into the ground to support the stands. Why are we using steel cylinders? Will they last as long, are they cheaper or is it all about the time constraints? It's just different piling techniques depending on what the pile will bed into and the force it needs to support. The steel piles (at least an upper section) will be filled with concrete and a starter bar from there will tie into the re bar in the slab foundation. Pretty run of the mill stuff for foundation works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Why is the east stand smaller than the rest can someone explain,there is space behind that stand to make it the same height as the rest. It was built earlier than the other stands, indeed the terracing behind the goalposts remained in use for a few seasons after the east stand was constructed. I agree the ground looks lopsided and it would be nice to see all the stands matching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¼½¾ Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hope they don't need to get some high sided vehicles in through that doorway as they have put a piece of wood right across the top.

The stairways in lower and upper are offset, right? Just like in the other three stands. So, I imagine it's because section AA in the plan view runs up one of the stairways of the lower section (handrails present) but through the seats in the upper section (no handrails present).

Homme Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 It's presumed that less able fans will use the lower sections than climbing dozens of steps to their seats, hence the stair handles in these sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Hearts Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The current modern stands at Tynecastle have stair handles in the lower sections. And in the upper sections too. But as CTC has pointed out, it may be to do with the staircases being offset and that cross section only including a lower section staircase.

I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion but the most exciting part of Hearts these days seems to be off the park,the new stand is the only thing to get excited about,if we keep producing rubbish on the field we ain't going to fill it.
