Lucille's Thirsty Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 If we have to play a game at Murrayfield then it's not the end of the world. Tynecastle will be ready soon enough. I remember going to the Schalke,Braga,Sparta Prague,AEK Athens, walking through that industrial estate, I think it was where the Sainsbury's is now. I was a depressing walk I didn't mind the European games at Murrayfield although it was half empty at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_ Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 There are no concerts scheduled as far as I can see. Robbie Williams played there in June. Howard Donald is doing an experimental free jazz/acid techno set that evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 for the reason I said above, I said too much already, and someone from work who knows me/my username has already pulled me up....I will be going back to just a fan on this thread, sorry. I actually tried to delete that post before anyone read what I'd typed. (I know that stinks of talking bull, but this is my job and having just been pulled by a colleague, I can say any more) Create a new account to keep us ITK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple Leaf Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The stand will be ready when it's ready. It's a massive project on a very tight schedule, and everyone involved in it deserves a pat on the back. Six months from now few will remember, and no-one will care, if we miss the planned completion date by a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Future's Maroon Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Create a new account to keep us ITK haha, it did cross my mind. Firstly, against the rules to have multiple accounts and secondly can you imagine how much grief a 'new' poster giving info on the stand would get the way this place is at the moment. As said, I am just a fan on this thread now, I have said a few things which I shouldn't have previously, I should have realised myself but the fan in me makes it hard not to comment when I see things said that are incorrect. I'm going on radio silence and let the club make any announcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Dave Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Not quite true. He's the only one who's ITK who shares what information he has on here. I didn't say he was the only person ITK.

Cut The Crap Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) There are no concerts scheduled as far as I can see. Robbie Williams played there in June. Looks like I was sold a dummy by Google. Now if someone can confirm that the SRU won't want six figures from us to host the match, then we're good to go.

jambogjh Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Ask your close family friend working on site, he seems to know everything. Sorry what do you mean he knows everything, all he said was what I posted which was the stand was behind schedule & will not be ready for the Aberdeen game. someone posted there was no main contractor, another post stated there was indeed a main contractor, I ask the question who it was. But just you carry on tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomaso stated on this thread several weeks ago that there was no main contractor and instead, they were using companies run by "PHM" with the club overseeing the whole thing.

jambogjh Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 So we have 2 posters who are claiming to be ITK. We have Thomaso who says we have no main contractor & The future's Maroon who says we do have a main contractor. Can someone please clear this confusion, up either we do or we don't & if you have the main contracts name that would help immensely.

Hearts_fan Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Any financial or logistical issues aside, I don't care if we have to play one or more games at Murrayfield if it means the stand gets built properly.

Hardies, who are managing the job on behalf of the club are a construction management company. I've also a meeting on site tomorrow where I will become even more ITK than I currently am at the moment. Being right ITK and no telling anyone is barry likes.

scuj1 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Ah, cheers for that. I was thinking it was further West. Totally off-topic now, but I only recently found out about a stadium which did actually exist in Stenhouse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenhouse_Stadium There was an old building still there about 20 years ago for the Greyhound Track. Not sure if it's still there within the industrial units. Edited August 3, 2017 by scuj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Quite surprised it's that delayed Would've thought definitely for the Rangers game Wonder how late the staging is to arrive. Sounds like the demolition of the old stand got held up by the weather. Could be an eyebrow raiser to dumping Hampden and having cups/national team at Murrayfield instead. Believe it or not, closer to the pitch at Murrayfield, that's how bad Hampden is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown user Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Well I might as well get it out the way - I'm concerned that this build is now over budget and running very late, which in itself will add more in wages alone.

I really hope it doesn't get out of control. It's not great. I think more clarification on intended cost increase, unintended cost increase and funding sources would help people ease their minds about it. Sadly we may have been as well saving some dough by keeping Cathro this season as it is a bit of a wrote off anyway and got ourselves into a position to really hit the ground running next season.
