Hearts_fan Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I like the red panels I also like the red panels. I've questioned the use of red and pink in the other stands for the past 20+ years. With the red panels, the colour scheme now appears to be coming together nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campbell Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 In these pictures is this the final finish over the glass or is this just the pressure plates?? Too many essay posts! Need more photos! So here is some as I walked past today. Note thomaso said earlier the silver face plates that have been put on are pressure plates and the permanent face plates won't go on for a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

151 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Looking more and more like a High School by the day. It's really crazy to think someone was paid to design this I'm in the wrong game! Hopefully the increase in capacity makes it an atmospheric cauldron again but its doubtful - we really do need to get our games back at Tynie asap or we face a miserable season of away defeats as usual.

I think it's a great design overall, but the glazing is really grim and bleak. Hopefully some point in the future we can change the glass on an otherwise classy looking stand.

siegementality Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The build isn't finished yet - that's my concern Plenty can still go wrong with the wrong management structure in place. Construction projects can be like a line of dominos - one or two just tipped over. The question you asked at the meet the manager event typifies you, panic merchant who doesn't listen to what is being said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Slim Stylee Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hearts are in the news and most of the news is that Hearts have identified problems and are trying to rectify them. First and probably the biggest was replacing Catho. Second was the new stand not being ready but Murrayfield comes to the rescue. Third is the rising cost of the new stand & using Murrayfield for at least 3 games. But we can also look forward to a new Head Coach and as promised more signing so i'd say the future doesn't look too bad. My God...."Mitch in positive post " shocker!

J.T.F.Robertson Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 This is the biggest HMFC project in generations. It's something that needed to be done a long time ago, but only Ann Budge and her team have been able to pull it off. The delay in the preliminary completion date is a disappointment to the fans, but I'm sure it's a bigger disappointment to the Club's employees and the others working on the project. Similarly with the cost overrun. Nobody wanted that. Most of it has been explained by Ann Budge as her making changes to the original plans. To accuse her of dishonesty is ludicrous. There is absolutely no danger that this overrun will result in a debt milestone around the Club's neck. When the dust is cleared, I'm confident that the Club's management will have a plan to address any shortfall. I think it's reasonable that any bad news about the project be discussed, and JKB is as good a place as any to do that, but some of the personal attacks have been over the top. Wasting your breath, mate. Between the panic merchants and the myriad of infiltrators, it's a complete feck up. I suppose the rest of us will just have to plod along the way we've always done. In the pub today I've had a Rangers' fan giving me "advice" with regard to Levein, followed by a Hibbie who couldn't believe we said it would all be ready by early September and that "they" had played in front of the three stands when their "development" was in progress. I was grateful for their concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
