North Berwick Jambo Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 you mean like this. IMG_0269.JPG Yes! Finally! Thank you so much Obua you really have made my day. What an awesome view eh! For the fans sitting towards the back of the new stand Tynecastle really will look a hell of a lot bigger than before. I can't wait to come back and see it in two months. Also thanks for the other great pictures today folks! I am off to show all of my Spanish football loving pals and even those not so interested the latest updates again lol.

jamboozy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Would it be possible to wrap/clad the floodlight pylons to make it totally enclosed? that's an excellent idea, could we put up big T.V screens or new legends posters? would be awesome IMO.

davieholt Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Don't think it's likely that they'll wrap/clad the floodlights to enclose the stadium. Need the ventilation to dry the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMc Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Don't think it's likely that they'll wrap/clad the floodlights to enclose the stadium. Need the ventilation to dry the pitch. Wondered about that. How do grounds with filled corners get by? Could use some sort of mesh that let air through but blocked out light?

on&up2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It houses all the controls for the stadium and the plan is to deconstruct enough, to mean no blocked view, until a decision is then made to remove it into the other stand or leave where it is. Ah, ok. It would be a real shame if there were to be restricted view seats, thats what bothers me most. I heard that the police had a good amount of space in the new main stand, I was hoping that would be where things would be controlled from given modern technology as we know it. I'm sure the best resolution will be sought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBE Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Pinching obua's photo and making the stand walls maroon: Or random colours the size of human torsos that give the impression it's part of the crowd, like that arena in Portugal. 3/4 full arena with random coloured seats looks full.

J.T.F.Robertson Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 That .net thread is hilarious......for all the wrong reasons.....deary me I rarely look over there these days but they've been given enough ammunition from another thread on here to further foster every delusory / wishful thought they could ever hope for. ****** unbelievable. ?Maybe a bit obtuse there. I was referring to the "Ann Budge" thread as being all the ammunition they need, haven't looked over there so I may have lifted the wrong end of the stick as far as your ".net thread" reference goes.

Simmo Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Aye I'm sure your calculations of looking at a photo are more accurate than qualified architects and mechanical engineers. I've been in construction for over 60 years so do know that photos can convey the wrong impression. All I said was it looks very tight. Purely a comment on the apparent space left for lower staging. Btw, mechanical engineers will have had little to do with the design of the slope of the seating. Just saying !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're genuinely wondering why you were shot down for asking if the stand will fit in the space when the steel is 90% complete.. words fail me. I'm pretty sure mechanical engineers would've been consulted on the construction of the steel work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clerry Jambo Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Listen it's looking smart but to compare with other stands, surely cost comes into it aswell. I've no idea what these other stands cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure mechanical engineers would've been consulted on the construction of the steel work. No the Mechanical lads wouldn't have anything to do with the design of the Steel work. That would be the province of the Structural Engineer. Incidentally, I'm not unduly concerned. I was only commenting how tight it looked.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 If the lower section appears tight for space remember the old enclosures looked smaller from the Wheatfield side, when you were actually in them they were quite a bid wider.

Governor Tarkin Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It's the Copeland Road End so away fans never see it. Butt ugly offices. We we're in it for a match vs Falkirk on our way to winning the Scottish cup in 1998. Wee Kevin MacAllister ripped us a new one that day and I recall thinking that the 3-1 scoreline flattered us. My mate got accidently hit in the eye with an inflatible hammer just before half time and had to go to the medic. They wanted to keep a hold of him as his pupils were heavily dilated, but this was more to do with the eccies he'd dropped prior to kick off than the incident with the hammer. This is my memory of the Copeland Road end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowayjambo1874 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 To be fair some of those stands were built quite a long time ago now. However our stand will look the baws and the comparison should blow away some of the moaners on here. The one 'new' main stand that I've always been impressed with is Falkirk's.
