been here before Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Anyone else notice above the cacophony of boos at the end Scott Wilson announced "the next game at Tynecastle will be... check the website for details".

CMc Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Optical illusion... eh no. The wall fills the gap. Simples. Jesus Christ I wonder sometimes.... What's so hard to get? Looks like a big gap in photos from the Gorgie end, but not square on - it is the angle of some of the photos that makes it look like a bigger gap than it is.

Dalry Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The stand looks a lot better than it did last week and will be incredible when it's finished, you had a better idea of that yesterday. Very exciting. Just need Budge and Levein to state that it hasn't worked out with Cathro and get a new, experienced manager.

ericb Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I think the stand is going to look more stunning than any of us dared dream. Excellent pic. From inside the stadium it's going to look like the wheat field with a wee hole in the corner to let vehicles in. Outside and within it will look stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section Q Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I believe it will be ready If not we should play the Aberdeen game at Tynie with no away allocation. Would still mean a decent crowd and no Murrayfield expenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar the Horrible Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Just cant see it being done in time? no worries, a temp move might make it get finished quicker, so we don't have to build this in parallel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Must have missed you today mate i took an almost identical shot from Row 26 Section W I was originally in Z, but had to move because some prick was constantly F-ing and C-ing at the top of his voice right behind me and I had the wee man with me, so I moved along to Section X (I think), the one right in the middle.

Seymour M Hersh Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 No way will it be ready in time. If you look back in the thread there's a video of the Wheatfield going up. It has a date stamp on it in places and when you see where it was at the start and a month later it's incredible how much was done in that time. The Main stand is much further forward than the start of that video. I'll be tight but it could well be ready for fans in time. Obviously the corporate stuff is not scheduled to be ready until January next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to have my doubts. Scott's announcement was made in this manner for two reasons; - It's so far into the future - It's likely to be moved for TV to the Friday night or Sunday lunchtime Let's not compile a positive development onto the footballing shambles.

Another possibility is club may want to play a midweek game the week before as a dry run for the new stand checking everything works Albeit that make the schedule even tighter - 5 weeks and 6 days till Aberdeen game.

Thought Police Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 My first thought when I saw it was that there is bucket load of work needing done for 5 weeks. But I trust the club that it's on schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JALBO Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 True, we only need a shell with H&S certs to hold a game in the beginning. Still a fair amount of steelwork to do though but the glass is coming on fine, bolting the seats will be time consuming tbh & I watched them do the other 3 stands till the end.

JALBO Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 From inside the stadium it's going to look like the wheat field with a wee hole in the corner to let vehicles in. Outside and within it will look stunning Although the overall height and width facing onto the pitch is like the Wheatfield (by necessity) it looks to me far more impressive than the Wheatfield from inside. The seating deck is a third deeper, is higher, and has a 23% bigger capacity than the Wheatfield. The upper tier has as many rows as the upper and lower sections of the Roseburn put together. I reckon by the time the seats are in, viewed from inside the stadium, the stand is going to look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Close up I took of the police box - I think it'll get demolished now we've played our last game in front of three stands. If it doesn't, then it'll be staying for good as the photo shows the next lot of steel would have to wrap around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
