gerryjambo41 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I sat in row E of the old main stand for years and rarely got soaked . I know the new roof is a lot higher so that could mean more soakings right enough ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUTOL Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 6 hours ago, Dougie Masterton said: The Plaza cant take traffic due to the water gathering system underneath.

What's the fancy water gathering system? Permeable paving and a suitable 0,5M sub-base, is what is in the planning application. Dougie is spot on. the plaza is not designed to take vehicular traffic as the area is designed with soak aways and a receiver tank which can cope wth any volume of water which can be managed and drained away without flooding. Looking at the stand for outside there may be a side access route for traffic but def not the plaza. Having been lucky enough to be shown round every part of the new stand it is incredible to see the amount of work that has been done behind the scenes and was very interesting to have had the whole layout and changes to the original plans explained to us etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 That looks like decent progress with the seating. In three days we have put in the seat rails for two and a half sections out of seven and installed 180 or so seats. At that rate it should be possible to complete the installation of the remainder of the rails within 5/6 working days and the seats themselves in maybe 8/9 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People aren't realising that the seat railings are 1/2 the job or maybe even more. The seats themselves just click into place and get attached by a few screws. They seem to be doing an upper section every day of the railings, so progress is pretty swift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The security guy at the gate may know very little, but I when I was passing the other day, his take on the Roseburn end of the stand was that the remaining panelling / roofing etc would only take a matter of a couple of days. The lower concrete seating deck at the Gorgie end went in quickly, so I guess it should do likewise at the Roseburn end, with the seats going in last down there. As you say - a tight squeeze, but I remain hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
