Libertarian Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 you can exit at the top of stand,the stairs go down at the back of the sky lounge. That's great to know. I am also in row 35 and one of my concerns was that at the end of the game it would take 15 or 20 minutes just to exit the stadium. Hopefully this shouldn't be a problem now.

Deans Jambo Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 "...in for the whole day" is probably stretching it a bit, but what I mean is creating a culture whereby thousands of fans can stay for a bit longer than just the 90 minutes. I don't like using modern terms like 'fan zones' but there are well-discussed ways and means to attract fans to arrive early and stay later. Rather than having a fully functioning pub, for instance, which has greater maintenance and outlays, we should make it more 'pop up' or more simplified to make it more cost-effective in terms of operating, a bit like they do at outdoor events like the golf open and at festivals, and on that sort of scale - hundreds, rather than dozens. Similarly, if you see the queues outside McDonalds before and after the game, I wonder whether that's a passing trade we could pick up ourselves at Tynecastle; that sort of thing. I guess for families/kids it's great when the club puts on the Gorgie Club but it would be brilliant to see it become more established and on a bigger scale. One day, I'd like the club to develop and use all our available space and for the fans to use it habitually and staunchly. I live a wee bit away from Tynecastle so when I come into Gorgie every home game, I make a bit of a day of it. Like a lot of fans, I spend money pre and post match, but I would like to spend more and longer at the stadium with my friends if the facilities are there, and as part of the custom of attending games. Agree with this. In my mind the old Gerrards Yard area, once the temporary nursery is no longer required, would be ideal to use as a 'fan zone'. Pop up bars, stalls, a stage possibly, a large canopy in the middle to keep dry/shelter from the blazing sun (ehem). All season ticket holders can gain entry once within stadium but with steward entry/exit to police numbers. This venue would allay any safety concerns that the police etc may fear if similar was done on the new main stand side of the ground given away fans would be around that area.

Libertarian Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 EPL clubs are going the same was an American franchises. Fan zones, entertainment away from the actual game, cafes, restaurants. All adds to a better day out. I'm off to the states on Saturday, looking forward to taking in a few baseball and American football games. We should be looking at ways to encourage folk to get to Tynie earlier and make more of a day of it. I can't see the harm of trying to get more food/drink options in. I reckon a couple of coffee/barista stands would actually do quite well. It would help if clubs were allowed to sell alcohol in the grounds (under strict condition of course). Alternatively a former Hibbie colleague of mine posted a picture on his Facebook page of him standing in the fan zone at Easter Road. I suppose something like that behind the Wheatfield would be very popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's a bit like a busy pub to me, loads of people queing at a bar trying hard to spend their money and not enough bar staff to take it of them..... In fact, this is exactly why we should do it like a Golf Open/Festival type 'pop up' bar rather than our very own version of the Caley Sample Rooms. We could make it only a very small selection, say lager and one other and there is no fannying about at the bar. In another corner, you have a 'bottle bar', with two or three choices, four for a tenner, there you go, sorted. Agree with this. In my mind the old Gerrards Yard area, once the temporary nursery is no longer required, would be ideal to use as a 'fan zone'. Pop up bars, stalls, a stage possibly, a large canopy in the middle to keep dry/shelter from the blazing sun (ehem).

This venue would allay any safety concerns that the police etc may fear if similar was done on the new main stand side of the ground given away fans would be around that area.

The Three Sisters in the Cowgate is a decent example of what you suggest, a Stage with giant screen, brolly's, tables, bar, themed events, & enough room for a couple of hundred punters or more, Pre & post match football I'd imagine would generate a decent amount of cash. Only stumbling block is wether local residents & licensing would permit on non match days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Tiresias Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We need a bar similar to Shearers at St James Park complete with loads of TV's to watch the 12:30 and 17:30 games. I've been a few times and it's always mobbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bam95 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 There's going to be a lot of space outside the new stand, surely a part of it could be fenced off for an outside bar, possibly with big screens showing a lunchtime/teatime game before/after the match.

dc-jambo Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Went by today for the first time since the temporary clips came off the facade. The stand is going to look gracious, elegant and magnificent. I really appreciate the photographs on here -- but they don't quite convey how good it is. No wonder there's a 45-page thread about it on shagyoursister.net, seething with anger and jealousy. It'll get a lot worse when they actually set eyes on it, at the first home derby. Also no wonder that almost all of the standard STs in the new stand are now sold out, with only a handful of seats left in the Wheatfield and Gorgie for match day sale. Upwards and onwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkwhisky7 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Went past today and couldn't stop to take photos but seen them working very fast at laying the monoblock piazza area near the Roseburn end, good progress. It'll certainly be good if everyone can exit the top of the new stand as well rather than waiting in huge queues to get out at the end of the game. I thought for some reason the top exits were only for Sky lounge punters. I stand (pun alert) corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Mods, how about pinning a "How to upload pictures" piece at the top of the Terrace? This is one of the most asked questions on here. A better forum theme would help - the functionality is all there for uploading directly to the forum it's just hidden on the desktop site and not really possible from a mobile device (unless you use the tapatalk app which I think is honking, the mobile version/theme for JKB is quite nice) It'd be nice if forum uploaded images were previewed full size (or at least at a reasonable size) instead of the current tiny thumbnail Advantage of uploading to the forum is the photos will live on for as long as this site exists.
