Franksluckypants Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Quality descriptions of our wee neighbours tonight in the thread! Back on topic, I'm sure our 'gal' is well happy the way the stadium is developing just like the 'guy' no doubt would be! Oh and by the way in defence of JIH - 'He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.' ...just that he seems to ask a question every 5 mins...

Tazio Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Sad news but proper maroon is almost impossible to create with light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JALBO Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I can't think of another main stand in Scotland that has such a large floor area not built under the seating deck. The space that we'll have compared to just about any other main stand will be vast, and whilst this clearly costs more to build and fit out than if we'd just done the normal thing under the seats, it also presents us with exceptional money-generating possibilities.

Tazio Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 How close can you get? A reddy-purple?? Pretty much. Light colour comes from RGB (red-green-blue) mixing. Modern LED lights also have a white cell making RGBW, but maroon remains almost impossible. Lovely purples can be made but to make maroon you would need another element that would be like a brown. I've tried but can't get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyBatistuta Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It does. Us Thier lights planned? Loads of lights all over our new main stand. Not entirely sure how that would look, think I'll be absolutely raving if they go down that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toggie88 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Well it would if there was a maroon gel available. Instead of creating a mix with RGB, could we not just use the lights that let you insert LEE filters? I've actually seen them used on a stadium. The Giants and Jets share a stadium, between every game they switch out the blue sheets and put in green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toggie88 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Also, safe standing couldn't possibly work in a single section. If lower N was standing, the folk in lower P wouldn't see the corner. Another reason to fill in the corners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marooned in Sec Z Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Are folk really losing their shit over the shade of some glass. Our new stand is going to be a thing of beauty.

Hearts_fan Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I must say I was once really attached to the idea of filling in the fecking corners. However, since spunking my load at how the stadium is going to be sans corners, there's now more chance of raising the Titanic than me being roused by the idea filling in the fecking corners. Still, I'm sure given time I'll be enthused about filling in the fecking corners once again at some point.

The Future's Maroon Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Having seen it myself, and worked in glazing I think it looks cracking including the opaque glass. Actually stunned folk can still complain about anything with regards to the stunning new stand we are not far from using. Lights don't have to be maroon for me, it would have been been nice f it could have been done but I am confident that there are plans afoot in regards to that side of it. ;-) Edited July 4, 2017 by The Future's Maroon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) As we will never fill the corners.... I like the idea of painting the end of the stand wall maroon, or I think it could look fabulous if we extended the mural theme from outside to each of the enclosure walls. It would make the ground feel even more enclosed, albeit I probably wouldn't go as far as painting fans on the wall, would never here the end of it from the Mechano merchants across the city. Maybe one of the photoshop geniuses on here could apply some fans to the corners of the stadium so we could see what it looks like.
