HamishMcGonagall Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I don't understand why folk get so much stick for saying they're not that keen on the look of it... not everyone fancies the same lass, not everyone likes the same car, folk have different tastes. From what I've read no-one is saying that they're against the stand getting done, just that it's not looking like what they hoped it would. Anyway, enjoy the last of the sun..!

Given that there is nothing else to be positive about regarding Hearts just now, I guess people want this to be 100% super positivity. I agree with you, though, and am also concerned as to when it will be fully completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 It looks fine to me but the most important thing is the improved atmosphere it should create inside the ground. The old structure whilst sounding loud when you were sitting in it didn't exactly project a huge amount of noise onto the pitch and where I sit in the Wheatfield you didn't always hear much sound coming across the pitch. The inside of Tynecastle is where the important things happen so why are some folk worried if the outside lacks this or that. Just welcome a shiny new stand.

Francis Albert Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Any word on the big TV screens ?? Hope they don't get binned as that would be great to have, Apologies if covered already. It's been suggested on here that they have been cut out of the project for budget reasons. Agreed it's a pity. Maybe the sort of thing that FoH should fund post-take-over - nice to haves that you wouldn't want to divert funds from the playing side to pay for. Better TV screens in the concourses, better and more varied catering outlets (the floor plan I've seen for the new stand shows just two rather small "kiosks").

I think FOH funding this type of thing is an excellent idea. I also suspect we (i.e. FOH) will end up filling the gap in funding for completing the extras in the new stand, which are pretty vital in terms of maximising revenue.

To be honest, I never realised there was much more than football, even nowadays. I'd much rather watch Hearts in a run down Tynecastle, than any other club in the world playing at the finest stadium in the world, with the best kiosks and TV, every single day of the week. But, I suppose, if those are what is required to entice people along to football matches nowadays, bring it on, we could sure do with the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry hippo Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The good thing about big screens is that they could be added at any stage. It's not like the rest of the project with the stand where what is built is likely to remain unaltered for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterintheRain Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I reckon the clues in the name. Mibbe PatsPishedHisPants Hello hibby . I'm a Hearts fan with an opinion. And in my opinion the new stand is in danger of looking cheap and nasty compared to the original pictures which had everybody drooling. Also it's too small. How can you encourage people to support HMFC if they can never get a ticket? If it's never possible to use the less attractive matches to have a free ticket promotion for children?

Francis Albert Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Yes. That's what the plans suggest. Although the concourse doesn't appear as spacious as the other stands and might have a block in the middle (green lines). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This is the plan which led me to say there were two small kiosks, in my seemingly outrageously negative post which ( intending to be positive) dared to suggest that our wonderful new stand/stadium could just possibly be made more wonderful still through future FoH funding. I missed the two very tiny kiosks at the back. Mea culpa! I also see on closer examination that there is a largish area labelled "Servery" which sounds like it may also have something to do with catering?

My apologies if pointing out your error has upset you, was just stating the facts. I am as keen as anybody too see that we build the very best stand that we can within the limits of time, planning and budget that we have. I'm working on the assumption that our board and the people tasked with designing it feel the same way. You seem keen to modify the stand before it has been built, and before anybody has had the chance to see if these 'small kiosks' are sufficient. So my questions are: - where are you going to put these new facilities? - do you think that the people designing the stand haven't considered how many kiosks, toilets etc are needed? A few people have asked you how you would design it differently, still waiting for an answer to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want me to do? Immolate myself in the centre circle before the first game in front of the new stand? The main point of my post was the suggestion that FoH future funding could be used to further enhance the ground. Thank you for agreeing with me on that.
