obua Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I assume the steel goes around the police box frame, will the staging need re-done once the police box goes by that side as more steel is added?no lower steel not in yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboelite Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) I assume the steel goes around the police box frame, will the staging need re-done once the police box goes by that side as more steel is added?Someone posted that the plan was to strip the police box back to stop it restricting the view but it contains a huge amount of equipment for the stadium and so isn't that easy. Then the police unit may or may not be relocated in the new stand. Edited August 23, 2017 by Jamboelite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the light Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 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. That would be perfect. Few of they patio heaters in winter, some hot drinks as well. Could do a Christmas market thing around that time and sell shit loads of Hearts gear. Just open it on match days, doesn't need to be open at other times.

North Berwick Jambo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Big thank you to Obua and Kila for the awesome pictures, i cant wait to be back in Gorgie towards the end of October to see what it looks like. The last time i stood in front of it was back in February as they were completing the steelwork and the old stand was still there. PS.. Obua that panoramic photo is great but is there any chance you can go up to the highest point possible up the next flight of stairs towards the middle of the stand and take the panoramic photo from there Please!! I have been asking for months now and your photo is the closest yet Edited August 24, 2017 by Ibiza Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbojumbojambo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 One question (probably answered before) - what turnstiles do away fans use to enter the Roseburn stand ?. The "Mercer" ones at the side of the entrance/exit path have gone so do they go in the main stand to the left of the Nursery, up to the concourse and then round to the Roseburn or will some new provision be made in the area currently occupied by the site offices.? (Actually that's 2 questions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Actually that's 2 questions). New turnstiles are going in the same sort of area as the old ones (so still behind the maroon gates to the right of the nursery, if I'm making sense). The new stand's north concourse and the Roseburn concourse aren't going to be joined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar the Horrible Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 IMG_0259.JPG Those concrete seating struts are so light weight, 1 guy is able to fit them using one hand, see picture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Order Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 That's whats on the plans. I was told the plans changed. That bit of corner concourse was seen as a waste of construction time and money for something that would practically end up as an unused segregation area. If you think about it you couldn't have home fans going towards the exit being used by way fans and same the other way round. It would just be redundant space.

allystrachan Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 So what's the chat with this composite decking? Is that the final finish or does it get an additional cover over it?
