Haken Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just catching up. The Record is a rag, and everything that needs to be said about it has been said. A 'newspaper' that panders to one section of the population, that section being challenged in so many ways, is only heading in one direction. Not clicking on its links will only speed up the process. Vehicles in the plaza - I wouldn't have thought so. In this day and age, in a space where lots of people will gather, I will be surprised if the plaza does not contain vehicle prevention measures. Still keeping fingers and toes crossed that it'll be ready for the 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rancid piece of shite I wouldnae wipe my arse with. The sooner that rag goes down the tubes along with the Sun isn’t soon enough.. as much a stain on Scotland as the bigot auld firm sisters are. Can we add the Scotsman to that list? Paid circulation of this tawdry rag has collapsed to the point that it appears to have less real, full-price sales than we have seats!

The photos above in the thread show the dugout to the right of the tunnel (as you look at it) has been installed, including the steps etc next to the tunnel. You're picture doesn't show this (although the truck obscures some of the view) so they must have done much of the dugout work in the last 24 hours.

Gene Parmesan Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Nothing so wearisome as folk taking a squint at photos and declaring "It won't be ready!" or "It definitely will!".

I don't know if this is true but I would have assumed it would have been put there for safety reasons when the roof panels were being fitted just in case anything fell. This is purely guesswork on my part hopefully they wont be staying up there as it looks a bit naff. It will be interesting to see how they bring it down assuming they do.
