Debut 4 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Some mutants on here seem to be expecting the Emirates Stadium. We are a small-level football club who are replacing a decrepit old stand with a brand new one which will be a million times better. Anyone moaning about the design should away and bum Lawrence Llewelyn Bowyn lol.....now you've got them thinking. It'll be a discussion of colour schemes for the corporate suites and how many curtains we'll need for the glass frontage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it totally confusing why be reason to complain/be negative even by some hearts fans standard's. Because it looks like an office block (which it doesnt), it's too small (should be 30k), has no place for standing, only 2 kiosks (there will be 4), and the corners are not filled in (dont go there). FWIW: I'm delighted with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Religion Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Oh dear. Really strong arguments then hahaha Thanks for listing One pretty prominent poster who takes a keen interest in architecture is any minute now going to give us his thoughts on how the design could have been improved.

August Landmesser Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Levein said they would make the away changing one as small as UEFA requirements allow it, so I guess can't get away with tiny ones!Also, home changing room has a separate warm-up area, I guess with exercise bikes and stuff, and a separate kit room. It will feel more spacious and less cluttered. The away room has an odd little corner too, and there's no reason not to install a fake pillar or two to mess with sightlines. It could be removed for semis or international games Sent from my FP2 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homme Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The plans are clearly shown. Away dressing room is slightly smaller than the home. I doubt this is classed as making it deliberately uncomfortable seeing as ours will be the roughly the same size. Also doubt we would be unprofessional enough as to stick columns in the middle of a newly built room unless they were really required.

highlandjambo3 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Few posts back there was mention of bars and restaurants!! (Probably been mentioned a few times previously) but, feasibilly how many people will fit in pre match? I know there is a considerable income stream for non match and, match day hospitality in the new stand but, for me Jonny ordinary, let's say I get a ticket in the new stand for a game, am I going to be able to just tip up for a beer and some food before kickoff?? I have a vision of the place being rammed full of fans. Are the kiosks/ facilities going to be MUCH MORE slicker than what's already there?

Once the main stand is up and running the other three stands will be getting some TLC mate which will improve Kiosks,Toilets etc. It would be amazing if we had some sort of pub situated in the stadium we're home and away fans can mingle and have banter and you can keep drinking up until kick off so you don't miss much of the game but I don't think it'll be sustainable during summer months of no football.

I have a vision of the place being rammed full of fans. Are the kiosks/ facilities going to be MUCH MORE slicker than what's already there? I 'think' the main stand will still be very much 'corporate' focused at a variety of levels. What happens to the Gorgie suite and Wheatfield undercroft once all office staff move to new stand may be more 'pint' focused but I imagine it will still be ticket based. Once the 3G is laid on the community pitch, I think we can more 'pitch up' focused. Remember you can't drink in a football stadium in Scotland unless ticketed so there are restrictions. It was reported that having a more public drink at games was back on the agenda but Hibs and Rangers stuffed that up for at least one more generation.

Gorgie_Rules Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Pretty sure the club confirmed that the temporary club shop and ticket office that is currently under the Wheatfield can be converted into a supporters bar if the demand is there for it and FoH contributions remain to fund it (and such other projects). There is also a significant amount of space either end of the Wheatfield that can be used for future expansions. A bar where you could go and watch the 12.30 (and potentially 5.30 kick offs) would be a great idea. The bar could also be used for non-match day events for example PPV boxing which can be difficult to find somewhere decent to watch in Edinburgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Away dressing room will be the same size as the home one Strictly speaking, the plan shows it being slightly smaller as there's a bit cut out in one corner for something else (looks like maybe a toilet)?

I was thinking they would completely demolish the old stand first and then fit them from pitch side but maybe the plan is to build downwards by dropping the sections through the gaps between the roof beams. We will find out very soon anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
