Surely not that much effort goes into creating a troll account?

Although, it’s now outdated, and the information architecture is a disgrace. HeartsTV is also pretty abysmal UX wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove past to see it on my way home last night, though, and as others have said, it looked so much better when viewed live and in the context of its surroundings. The size of the badge already looks impressive enough on here. I think it might be quite breathtaking when seen in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toggie88 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I was under the impression from the club that we'd be getting two big screens. Screens would be nice - not just as a vanity project but they can actually pay for themselves through advertising revenue - but not essential to the club. We've went 143 years without,. I was also under the impression from the club though that we'd have a glass curtain wall and the other three stands would be getting work done on them, all part of the budget. None of this takes away from the achievement building this stand is for the club. Two years ago the idea that be where we are infrastructure wise would be viewed as optimistic/delusional - so hats off to everyone involved in the project, FoH and everyone else that has made this come together. All that being said, I can't help but wonder why the club didn't at least release images of the plans that we're working towards. While having the benefit of managing fans expectations a little, it would also perhaps have helped with funding - a model of the proposed stadium next to the cash cow in the store might have lead to a few more people putting their hands in their pocket.

PhoenixHearts Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Minor gripe about the badge that I've had since spotting it in the artists impressions is the two lower panels behind the badge.... wish they were clear rather than the grey ones. Can understand this is probably to do with hiding electronics etc and I know it's going to look magnificent regardless.

Anyone who stoops low enough to any sort of vandalism of an opposing team's ground (any team), will undoubtedly also be stupid and attention seeking enough that they post it on social media and quickly get found out. That being said, I think all the chat of potential vandalism are completely unfounded. I mean, how many acts of vandalism have we seen against Hearts by Hibs fans or vice-versa in the last 20 years?

I normally only pop my head in here for the pics. The "Pub pic" was the final image that the Club formally released. That image has been used by the Club quite a few times over the last few months when making various announcements. By the way this final image showed curtain wall and that is what has been installed. You are confusing the 'glass baffle screen' concept that was shown on a very early preliminary computer image that was going around when the Club first went in for planning - the reason the Club went away from that type of design has been explained in depth on here ad nauseum. A model for display might have been a good idea however that costs money that the Club may have felt was better spent elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
