We could have had something a bit more modern and sculpted and interesting but I can handle the look of the outside for the 5 minutes a fortnight It will be in my line of sight. The inside is going to look pretty damn good I have to say. Not a work of art either but its taking us back to the noisy cauldron days most have never seen or long forgotten. Hey. Its a football stand. It doesn't have to win a prize. Just has to face the right way and have loads of seats. Folk on both sides getting far too precious about it.

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I was a bit "meh" when I saw the first glass panels, but now it does not bother me. Yes, it looks like an office block; yes, it looks like a school; yes, it looks like a bank. But so what? What is wrong with it looking like those things? If there was anything so offensive about the design, why has it endured? It has form, it has function. It will be a bright and airy place for our admin staff, and for our hospitality suites. The most important thing, for me anyway, is it does not look the tin-clad outside of a factory unit or the boring brick facade of some municipal offices.

There's a plastic film to be peeled off the top. If you look closely you'll see it's probably to protect the edging while work continues up there. Will be all maroon when peeled off.

Jammy BarSteward Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 How far in advance does the safety certificate need to be signed off before the ground can be open? Would the club sell tickets for a game that may then need to be moved within a few days? I'd feel happier with a decision made sooner then we know where the game will be played and can prepare for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KineticBeat Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 People getting in such a state about how the stand looks from the outside is highly amusing. It could be the shittest stand in the country and I wouldn't give a toss. As long it increases the capacity and revenue streams of the club then it has done it's job. We were never going to get an architectural masterpiece with £12-15 million and if we are being honest it looks alright and is an improvement on what was before it. It is certainly unique within Scottish football. I am in love with the thing though because of what it symbolizes. Three to four years ago a new main stand would have been filed in the "not in my wildest dreams" category. The fact it's being built is a huge symbol on the recovery the club has taken since Administration and a testament to the fans who helped save it. For that reason alone, it's beautiful.

Mr Sifter Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Why, on the very day our iconic badge is placed on a new stand we thought we'd never see, would a Hearts man want to pish on the chips of this thread? Any Hearts man? Weird behaviour on today of all days if you ask me. Personally, I'm delighted, and grateful, with what we've got. Onwards and upwards!!??????

Beast Boy Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) I unpopularly voiced my grievances about the grey look of the glass wall months ago, and I was rounded on. I still wish it had looked like the artists impressions. However, it looks a lot better than I expected/dreaded. Certainly far better than the exterior of any other Scottish Club’s stadium, with the exception of the main stand at Ibrox.
