Haken Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Can we put a sticky at the top answering all the silly questions before they get asked again? Corners cannot physically be filled in due to the existing structure Rows being added is not a financially viable option even before thinking of H&S restraints Safe standing is not an option due to both the rake of the stand and its profitability. Screens are part of the plans of the overall upgrading of Tynecastle facilities. Anything else I have missed? Any chance of a retractable roof?

kila Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Would it be possible for Hearts fans to donate old LCD/plasma TVs to the club - 50 or so could be put together to create one large screen. Would the club consider this? I've got an old blackboard, do you think that might be suitable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Hearts Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Cruden Homes are in discussions Won't they find planning very difficult with the tanks right beside the site? I thought it was much easier for us to get past the risk assessment because a football stand is only used for a couple of hours a couple of times a week, whereas housing is constantly occupied?

kingantti1874 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Understand the screens will be mounting inside the new stand at the gorgie end and in the wheatfield at the school end.. not on the truss.. that's what I was told anyway..

Depends on the risk assessment. The stadium is occupied a lot less but has a lot more people in it when it is occupied. The opposite applies to the housing.

scott herbertson Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Previously the site housed hundreds of children 5 days a week.... I don't think that would be all that significant - same argument as when we applied for the new stand - taken on its own merits re HSE objections.

mullen13 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I would say they would be much better up on the truss if possible. Probably far easier and safer for maintenance on the inner walls than up on the truss. I think the inner walls look ugly so they should at least put something there.

Pans Jambo Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 This. It's the same chat over and over. It's possible to add rows to the wheatfield, Naw it's no. It's possible to fill in the corners, Naw it's no. Hearts have already said this will be the last of redeveloping Tynecastle so let's enjoy the build up and pictures of our new incredible stand. To be fair none of those things are impossible but they are just not going to happen within the next 20 years so its fairly moot to even talk about them.

Mr Brightside Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Previously the site housed hundreds of children 5 days a week.... Doesn't really matter as the risk assessment will be done based on current guidance and the current proposal. I doubt the distillery would get planning permission for it's current location if it was an empty site. My initial point was that just because the properties will be occupied for a lunch longer duration it doesn't automatically make it a more riskier proposal.

Not fussed about it myself It's not just a big scoreboard, we are not Hibs. Advertising revenue, team line-ups, announcements, marketing for Hearts merchandise, tributes for former players, makes the venue more attractive for events, gives the stadium a more "modern" feel.

fireeagle51 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 You're kidding right? This site will be for housing Yes, would definitely prefer there to be housing than what it is now.

avhudtheteeshirt Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Two big screens tied into the white trusses above the main new stand and wheatfield stand would do it for me. If they were to show the game highlights after the game, like they did before in the concourse tv screens, it would maybe help in crowds leaving the stadium, slowing down the rush?

kila Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Yeah I was surprised I quite like the time clocks But they are well placed out of the way Being in the main I only see the the clock when it's a televised game and they have the electronic ad boards behind the goals. Presume the clock in the board in front of the main all the time? I do like the clock and I'm happy to keep it as it is - in the corners of the ad boards. Subtle but there if you want a quick check. Also means the players see it but didn't see to do much against County last week with them passing it across the back in the dying minute.
