kila Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Yep, more tangible when the steel gets erected & the facade goes up rather than just holes in the ground, piling tubes & concrete founds as it is now. I think people will be stunned at the enormity of it tbh. Yeah, when the truss started to get assembled and you could walk by on match days up close, it was amazing the scale. I think the frame taking shape giving a clear indication of the scale will be exciting, can't be long now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J80MBO Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Mrs Budge said today "there are eleven lorries of steel arriving tomorrow" Worth adding she said right on schedule too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troonmaroon Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Not seen it posted, not on this thread anyway, but Ann gave a timetable in her programme notes yesterday. In summary 1. Preparatory phase - piling, excavating, completing foundations, installing utilities and services - by 18th April (looks nearly complete) 2 Construction phase - erection of structural steel and concrete behind existing stand - target completion end May 2017 - installation of curtain walling comprising the "huge" glass fa?ade - starting 1st May target completion mid-August 3. Construction phase - demolish existing stand scheduled to begin mid-May - ordering of staging and seating currently in final stages of preparation - much of this is fabricated overseas. - new staging expected to arrive early August with all seating to be installed by the end of August. 4. The "Fit-out" Phase - all supporter areas inc toilets, turnstiles, staircases etc to enable supporters to attend home games, scheduled completion end August 2017 - also required by end ust: main entrance hall, Directors Suite, Media Centre, front Piazza 5. "Open for business" - 9th September 2017 6. Hospitality and new dressing rooms - 20th January 2018 7. Final deliverables - Nursery, new Club Shop, Community Services space - Overall completion 30th March 2018 Ta, hadn't seen this either! 9 Sept... Season kicks off 5 Aug so 4 away games we're asking to start with? (first Spet weekend is international matches. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwindonJambo Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Probably Livi or East End Park. Easter Road would be unlikely, and Budge has hinted that much Lol. That at least shows she's in touch and well aware that it would not go down well. TBH, Livi or EEP would be fine, especially given the poor crowds the tournament usually attracts, especially in the early stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 9th Sep (opening day) is a Saturday which sounds to me like the club have been given the backing of the league to play away fixtures before then (and postpone one home game). So, I wonder who we'll get on Sep 9th at the new-look 20,099-seater Tynecastle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 We'll definitely get two home games as it's a group stage now. Probably the best (easiest) option would be to play all group games away from home, if we're in the group stages of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 League cup groups games... Play them at murrayfield, tickets ?5 u16s ?1 u12s free. Get 50,000 in for a kick about with Dunfermline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTweedy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Probably the best (easiest) option would be to play all group games away from home, if we're in the group stages of course. It may be best/easiest, but it wouldn't be very fair on the rest of the teams in the group. Although playing our 'home' games at a neutral ground wouldn't be ideal from that point of view either.

Mikey1874 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Reckon the TV companies will push for an Edinburgh derby on the opening day, assuming they come up. Where that first derby takes place depends on who is relegated in 12th place as Hibs take their place / fixture swaps. If its Inverness, Hamilton, Ross County or Dundee the first game is at Easter Road. If its Motherwell or (unlikely) Kilmarnock game is at Tynecastle Of course if its Tynecastle it could be our postponed game set for a key date.
