I thought the sound was ok on Saturday at Murrayfield. Better than it was the week before, it was virtually inaudible. But I was in different seats each week. Against Aberdeen it wasn't that great either, I was in the same seat as v Rangers for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till the January transfer window. Give him till the end of the season. We're all in for a hell of a time under Mr Levein but we'll have the best stadium, best atmosphere, best fans, best charity and best community club.

mitch41 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'm getting excited as the stadium nears the finishing line. It is all money well spent and a great investment in the future. Pity the team seems to be suffering because of a lack of money. I know we were told our new stand wouldn't affect the teams finances but i recon it must be.

I know we were told our new stand wouldn't affect the teams finances but i recon it must be. Lafferty, Berra, Smith, Stockton, Milikovic, Grezlak, Callaghan, Randall, Smith-Brown, McLauchlin all signed in the last window so we've certainly brought plenty of bodies in. Some quality players in that list, some OK players and a few imposters. If the playing budget has suffered in the short term, I would suggest it's worth it in the long term when this thing starts to generate money. But of course, the balance has to be right, you need a team to attract fans to fill the stadium. The one thing I will say though is that it certainly doesn't look like we've built this stand on the cheap. We could've built a much more basic main stand, but instead we've gone for something much more expansive in terms of cost, footprint and facilities.

If that is the case (and it's still a big IF) I think taking a small step back on the playing side for a short time is a price worth paying to ensure the future of our club.

Not ITK but the chat was that everything to make the stadium match playable, would be done by Friday. The reason for the delay was because they needed more time for testing & to get safety certificates. It was also stated previously that the gable end wall would need to be fully up in order for those certificates to be issued, so I was assuming it would be done by then. Having said that, with another 2 week delay, they may be able to take their time slightly and finish it on Mon / Tue next week to save on overtime payments etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 7 hours ago, DETTY29 said: Anyone onsite confirm AB has been promised gable end go be up this weekend? When Ann made the first of her two statements last week (Mon 23rd and Fri 27th), she indicated that all the Phase 1 requirements would be handed over within 10 days (2nd Nov?). That commitment appeared to slip in her second statement when she just stated the end of next week (3rd/4th Nov?) for completion of the seating and the gable end. Either way there shouldn't be any risk to the Partick game. When you are within 10 days of completion of the first phase, even a 20% delay on the outstanding works only represents two days, and we still have 18 days until the game on 19th November.

They could be called "exit row seats" so everyone sitting there has to be fit and mobile enough so the whole block can be vacated quickly and the block be lifted up for an ambulance to come through... Like an aircraft an inflatable chute could be employed to hasten the fans exit. It might be handy to have one for the directors box as well if we get a bit restless.
