I guarantee a £ to a p that it will be regarded as superb for atmosphere by all when they have all been in it complete. it already was to be fair but the enclosed stand will only enhance it.

Quote Their new stand is supposed to be their new "Main" Stand in more than just name - it's where the dugouts, dressing rooms, receptions are etc. Our East Stand wasn't, and it still looks better.The West is our "main" stand and it's got all the fancy windows and trees and a reception and a car park etc etc. There isn't a comparison.

Truth be told though ,when ours is finished, and games are played at Tynie, i look forward to the press reporting that its a majestic looking setting to play football with one of the best atmospheres in Scotland. I cannot think or recall when Fester Road was ever described by the media as one of the best for atmospheres or even other teams managers describing it as such. They continue their with their utter jealousy of us, from us stepping up to the mark and saving our club to the majestic new main stand that was possible by our fans.

In my experience it it would be things like the mechanical engineering (escalators, lifts, venting) which would need to be good enough to allow safe use and access and especially egress in an emergency. Likewise staircases, Fire doors hand rails etc. Wheelchairs access and egress as well. These are stumbling blocks sometimes . Separation for both sets of fans (should be fine on this as not much change). We will also have to have the piazza in good order or any unfinished bits safely protected. We will also have to have revised stewarding plans etc but I expect there is a group or meeting with the local police/ fire brigade/ council etc. A lot will depend on our relations with key bodies and officials. In the past I wouldn’t have been confident about that but we are taking a much more professional and businesslike approach these days and I am sure we will be ok.

Weather permitting I will get over Tynecastle for a few updated shots as soon as the work is completed, and I'll post on here as well.
