obua Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I keep reading about the new stand seats being shipped from the "Far East," with no specific country mentioned. Has anybody thought to check what size these seats will be? My experience of 20 years in Japan, Korea, China and elsewhere is that Oriental seats are smaller.....much smaller and lower too. Japan airlines managed to install 630 seats on a Boeing 747 which was originally designed for about 350. Believe me, these were not the same size of seats. Anybody know the manufacturers? Are you looking for american(fat boy) size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 That roaster greenginger is claiming the works affected the structure of the nearby tenement. Not only is he an expert in law , H&S and building regs it also appears he's now an expert in building construction. I picture a spotty challenged teenager with a duffle coat and clipboard running about with webbed feet in Gorgie annoying every and anyone he can get a conversation out of.

ArcticJambo Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) So long as it's at the front, a 'glass facade' could mean anything from leaded stained glass windows, to glass bricks, to thousands of wine bottles stuck to MDF, etc.... The wine bottle or those big bottles of Tennents they used to do years ago would be barrie. When you're peering out at the plebs from hospitality you really would have the proverbial beer goggles 'on'.

been here before Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Because it is a curtain wall, more specifically a glass curtain wall. Curtain walls aren't structural, they're there to keep the elements out - take a curtain wall away and the buildings still standing. Like a window.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 If it's the North, width-wise, they will be more than adequate if you go by the size of the "dear respected comrade's" erse. Maybe he could expedite its arrival by sticking it on one of his missiles. On second thoughts maybe not as we don't want it soaking in seawater.

Governor Tarkin Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Right, first time I've been down to see it in the flesh for over a month. The red panels aren't so red as they appear in photos, and it's ******* huge. Aesthetically speaking, the white/grey panels still look a bit rubbish (sorry Thomaso), and do give it a passing resemblance to the Leven St Scotmid. The curve is probably the saving grace in this respect. The site was a hive of activity and I'm amazed at how much has already been done - and the product we should end up with - given all of the well documented constraints. Smashing stuff.

Hagar the Horrible Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Concrete is horrible in wet cold weather. You freeze from the feet up. The Axminster carpets and the underfloor heating, will cure that? or you could try and man up, go to football in the 70's to some shyteholes with open crumbling terracing in November in the pissing freezing rain and the football was just not worth the bother, and a scalding hot bovril, with napalm pie that sticks to your skin like velcro, to try and warm yourself up, prior to getting skin grafts to repair the damage. We all get to sit now in far better stadiums with roofs, watching football played on manicured lawns rather than ploughed mud baths. Tip wear shoes, not vans and converse, or non leather trainers, and a warm pair of socks rather than bare feet? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 It's the back of s football stand , not the front of an Opera House , Lol Fist of all I think it's an incredible achievement to have reached the point where we can build such a thing.. Credit to all involved.. And it's no reflection on Thomaso's work or the work of his company, but I do think some of the architectural decision s around the glass are a bit strange Image dark tinted glass with maroon and white highlights around the fringes without the grey panels.. Would have looked sensational, especially with the backlit Tynecastle Park and badge on top of it..would have looked cool.. Yes I know there were lighting considerations also It's really not important in the grans scheme of things but again.. It's doesn't look as good as it could have in my I'll Informed opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
