Bazzas right boot Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) What is it we need updating on more than every month or so? What day the seats are getting installed? When the big badge is going up? What sealant is getting used on the monoblock? Club have done a fine job. I agree, stand is getting built,due on the 5th Nov, unless that changes , what needs updated? Every week, stand opening scheduled for the original date? Club is doing fine, it will update us if anything changes. Seems perfectly logical. Updates on routine stuff just open us up to criticism from fans and the media. It's a project that is probably quite fluid in its operation. Updates would just pose more questions and then more criticism. But they said 40000 bricks would be done by Tuesday, they've only done 39990, they must be short staffed, what's happening,budge oot, etc?

Gershwin Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Will there be room for the bottom section? I think they may have built the stand too close to the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I think the fact that we've seen so many pictures lifted from the BSB facebook page and copied in to this thread is probably pretty telling with regards to how much the club should be doing with regards to documenting the progress. BSB seem more interested in letting folk see how things are coming along than Hearts themselves do..... I'd really have expected that to be the other way around. That all said though, I can also kinda agree with the 'what else do you need to see' line of thought to an extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobar PHM Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't think it would be very helpful and find the level of engagement more than enough for the average punter. Clearly it isn't enough for some people and its relatively easy to post a paragraph or 2 a week with stuff of interest. Perhaps they're a bit feared that they are going to overrun again and look a bit silly in terms of the project timelines. I suspect there are bums tweaking when you look at what little appears to have been done in the last 2 weeks, with just 6 weeks to go. I wouldn't mind betting there is a contingency to move more games to Murrayfield which is edging nearer to the top of the agenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty good ITK mate because not even the club have 100% guaranteed it. As a layman I'm looking at that stand and thinking there is no danger its going to be ready in 6 weeks Murrayfield isn't available in November either. We'll probably be playing in front of 3 stands at Tynecastle for the rest of the year. Edited September 25, 2017 by Escobar PHM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Sifter Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Spoke to probably the most senior person on the project just yesterday, and mentioned the rumour floating about Hibs fans that the stand will be delayed...it made this person laugh. They confirmed that even though they're working to a tight timescale, they're supremely confident it'll all be ready by the Killie game. Add that to the comment attributed to Ann Budge further up the thread, and you're left with two choices.

Erik Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It should hopefully start coming together pretty quickly from here. I don't doubt we'll have 'something' to open on the due date. I suspect however if anything, despite the warnings or the 'finished' product not happening till January - the main raising of eyebrows will be around the level of finish at the opening date.

Generic Username Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Sometimes it can feel hard to gauge the progress when we only get to see the same exterior shots (obviously progress has been made, before anyone goes tonto...).
