Mr Sifter Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Loving your work, Sifter. Cheers BB. Tell you what I noticed today, there's no crane 'up' today. Dunno if they bring it down every night and it hadn't just been put up today yet, or whether progress might be curtailed a wee bit over the waster weekend? I did notice a couple of JCB's moving about behind the partition, so there are definitely bodies working there today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav M Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Not much to report this morning. Looks like yesterday saw slow progress compared to the day before. Hopefully more progress today though... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk These photos showing the mini truss shows that the roof of the new stand is almost flat, unlike the other stands, this allows for further rows of seats without the need to go too much further back. Sure this was mentioned ages ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamborello Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 One thing I noticed is that the Tynecastle Stadium sign with the big badge will need to come down soon, as they can only add one more section before it's in the way. Still hope they put it above the Wheatfield Entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scabber Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The crane left around 5:30pm yesterday. Could be away for the Easter break.Would imagine the crane has to go back to its depot for refuel. etc. dont think it takes that long to set it up again.

That and we save hire cost over the Easter weekend. I'm not sure if we need a bigger crane for when we assemble closer to the Roseburn end. Not sure how much space there is park a crane in that area and have room for material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Great to see these photos. I'm looking forward to getting round to check out progress myself later next week. I really think we're going to be very impressed with the finished article. The upper section, with 27 rows, is more than the upper tier at Murrayfield's east stand, which has 25. It's going to look fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copa-mundial Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Love the photos on here of the step by step progress. It's fantastic in my lifetime. I'll have been in the old and what will soon be the new tynecastle. Be great to see when it's all complete. I know it's probably been said on this thread at some point. I do apologise if it has. When the old stand does start being demolished. Now we know we will be playing games at home during the summer months. I'm guessing temporary dug outs are gonna be made by the wheatfield stand. It's one thing I have never heard being spoke of. Obviously we know about temporary changing etc... under the stand. Just never heard on dug outs.

Seymour M Hersh Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Looking at the photos makes me wonder if the building is going to high enough. Obviously it will all fall into place but looking at partially completed construction often makes me wonder is that going to look like the artists impressions of the finished stand?

It's as high as the council would let it be. Th main part of the stand will jut further back which will make it look more dramatic imo. We would need a lot more fundraising weeks to get a bigger one.

It's the right thing to do from a cash side as much as anything tbh. Keeping it there would encourage more which can then lead to other vandalism in general. Better off to take care of it before it becomes an issue, not like a tub of paint costs a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 passed it earlier today. Looking good but also get a sense how long it will be. Also dont think the photos get across the angle that the struts that will form the roof are. They look a lot more flatter on the photos.
