J80MBO Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I accept the negative opinions of the glass work and get the points but i really think thst when hearts branding goes up (lile badge, "tynecastle park" lettering, perhaps flags) it really will lool the part. Not to mention when the rest of the work is complete. Really pleased with work so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernardbresslawsarmchair Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Maroon caps on the front would look terrible in my opinion, they are to be grey. They do make a big difference though... Maroon caps on the front would look terrible in my opinion, they are to be grey. They do make a big difference though... not sure might give it a bit contrast absolutely love the stand but the front is a bit grey hopefully the crest and lettering solve this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Now the perimeter fence is down, you can get a full view of it standing back With the colourful patio, Hearts badge and maroon trees, neutral/grey for the facade starting to look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass curtain provides drama in its sheer size, but its neutral shades are absolutely required to let the other eye-catching and colourful features stand out against what is essentially a vast, but blank canvass. It will look magnificent when finished. P.S. I would love to see Thomaso and Craig Levein jointly cut the ribbon on this. Maybe they could both hold the scissors. .

Unknown user Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 First stadium/arena use of composite staging seems to have been at Ascot: http://www.building.co.uk/stadium-terracing-good-to-firm/3112936.article Thank you! I asked ages ago what this composite material was composed of, it's been doing my head in! Basically 2 x 4mm steel sheets sandwiching a 20mm polyurethane (like a plastic but better) core. Crazy to think it's less then 3cm thick with the loads it'll take! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamborello Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I found this website from the manufacturer of the staging, it explains what it is and lists places where its been used, which include the new Liverpool stand and the London Olympic Stadium. http://www.ie-sps.com/about-sps http://www.ie-sps.com/sectors/stadia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Question for those who have stood on the new composite material. What sort of noise will it generate with a few thousand stamping their feet? Will it be like the other concrete stands or a louder / hollower noise? Does anyone know?

PhoenixHearts Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Total minor and trivial gripe of mine and I suppose I'm just splitting hairs, but does anybody else reckon the monoblocking would have looked better as just the heart shaped crest without the square border going around it?

Buffalo Bill Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I had no idea the crest were going to be so colourful and detailed! Likewise. On the artist's impression, it's a simple, one-tone outline Hearts crest. From Obua's plans, they're really going to town on this. I think the Royal Mile cobblestones might soon feeling a bit redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visually I agree - however I think they may be putting the border in to ensure the crest sets are stable and does not move over time - monoblock in large areas has a tendency of doing so.

Makes sense. Forgive me if it's a daft question, but you seem to know your stuff. Is there no way they could have done the square border in the same colour as the rest of the paving, making it a bit less obvious? Ps while I'm on the topic of paving, I think it would have been a fun idea to do a Hollywood walk of fame style thing with club legends engraved into marble heart shapes on a path leading up to the main stand.
