I think AB is just playing a wee game here prepapring everyone for bad news and then giving us all the thumbs up that we will be in for the 5th November.

 

Maybe with any luck she will make the announcement just before kick-off at the Hibs game. :thumbsup:

Based on the money raised so far to pay for this, the shortfall if any wont matter too much as inside 2 years the extra revenue generated from the extra seats and the extra corporate boxes, plus the FoH we will have the full thing bought and paid for inside  2years, There is no other skint club in that position.  In 2 years all we will be moaning about is who to spend all our additional revenue on.  Appart from Celtic we are in a better place finacially over the next decade than anybosy else,   Aberdeen have this pain to go though, and Sevco are on a downward spiral, we have times this right and could be very strong for a generation at least, so long as we dont go mad on buying duds.

 

I would buy this all 3 years ago and if the cost of this is waiting till the Partick game?  or even later, then I am going to bite your hand off.

 

On the build it and they will come thesus, then as we will have built the best athmospheric stadium in the UK, we need to fit seat belt into the seats in our new stand, because we are now on one hell of a journey.........

With the possible (but by no means certain) delay putting the Killie game in doubt, would it not be possible to reschedule the game if need be rather than play at Murrayfield.

The following weekend is another international break so could it not be played on the Wednesday after.

I understand it would not be a great plan for those who have made travel arrangements

Blaming the weather for a two month delay on the roof?

Don't think it's a 2 month delay on the roof because of the weather.

The recent weather has caused a delay to the roof being completed.

Just been down. The badge is outstanding and dominates the stand. More so than the pics. 

 

The lettering does seem too small but maybe get used to it and maybe they wanted the badge to stand out.

There has been more than one bad spell with the weather to affect the roof however I would suggest she is perhaps indicating that the recent tight revised timeframe is being hampered by the recent weather. We have always been dependant on closing off the Roseburn end with big machinery finishing before the roof was able to be finished so the delay will have come from many different facets of the build.

It's growing on me aesthetically. It's not dissimilar to a million and one places. Was standing outside St Pancras international earlier thinking that reminds me of......closer to home, Haymarket station. It's better looking than that. IMO obviously

The lettering will look completely different when lit, as will the facade with the lights on inside.

  This made me laugh, I know what you mean, guess you were looking at St Pancras from the kings cross side but St Pancras from the front is a ******* amazing building.

Stand looks very good on the inside but the outside!! They grey panels cheapen the whole thing. 

 

Hopefully they can be changed.

 

 

Oh look, here’s the latest member of another Hearts forum who shares exactly the same opinion as all of his mates.

 

Well colour me surprised.

I’ve yet to hear a fellow jambo to air his or her opinion on how the back of the gorgie/wheatfield or the roseburn looks.

I think it's just Wheatfielders that thought it would be a good idea to stay put. I'm feeling sorry for them.

If you are happy with the stand then good for you. I think it could have looked far better than its going to.

 

The inside will look Incredible though.

Its a shame your plans that could have made it look better at the same costings were not submitted in time then.   Nothing sadder than the bitter taste of having your building bid turned down eh?  Oh wait you are not an Architect nor a builder

Would have cost many millions more though. Which would have a knock on effect on the playing budget for a few years longer than it currently will

Surely the roof should have been completed in time for the original date? Was only the seats that caused the delay I thought.

 

Don't think they could complete it as they needed the heavy lifting machinery to get access.

They got that up quick, I did not think they would complete that in time,?  the least and the staging will be complete by the end of next week at that rate? then is the gable end clading and all the inside gubbings?

Interesting re the automated turnstiles. Is that just in the main stand or will all turnstiles be automated?

 

It doesn't look like anything has been changed at the Wheatfield turnstyles. 

 

But it is locked up.
