I agree as looking at the new stairs and turnstiles at the school end it strikes me that the seats being delayed has been used as a "smoke screen" . Even if the seats had arrived in plenty of time other works were nowhere near ready for the Kilmarnock game. I think that the club have not been realistic in the timeframe for this build and in "hind sight" would do it differently next time. However there is unlikely to be a next time so the current custodians at the club have made a pretty large error of judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboECW Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Doesn't look like there is that much to do, steps in place for emergency use all seats in place. The cladding will be in place by today and we also know judging by last nights switch on the electricity is ready to go. Some tarmac and fencing required which will be easily achievable by the end of the week. Have seen projects go to the wire but I am willing to wager the Hearts will confirm by Thursday at the latest we are good to go. Don't mention the emergency lighting because it is probably already in place and if not could be done in a day as the hospitality suite areas are still not ready for use so it isn't required there just yet. The club are also still selling tickets for Sunday which they wouldn't do if the game was in doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn’t have called on the council to issue a safety certificate if it was likely to be rejected, chances are it’s small issues affecting the granting of the certificate (walkways, signage etc.) Club has to cover all bases, at the moment it’s a non story until the club announces otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't deal with the not knowing just make a decision not to come to the match on Sunday and be done with it. You've got other things to do – do them! There are enough difficulties and challenges in life without creating more stresses for yourself. I can't be bothered with people who home-in on problems. If the new stand being constructed gives you anxiety, pay less attention to it: make a decision to not go to Tynecastle until the dust has settled. Do everyone a favour. If people take your advice wouldn't it just mean lower crowds, less money and a bigger funding gap (or less money for the playing side?). As it is I think we could have sold at least a few hundred more tickets for the opening of the new stand if we had set a date and met it. But its not ruining my life. As I've said off on holiday on Sunday. The "enemy within"? As opposed to the Pollyanas within?

Paolo Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Whilst if the ground is not ready means the game won’t be played is not exactly rocket science, a decision needs to made very soon. Police, stewards and catering needs booked, and there would be a cost to cancel last minute. Many fan wanting be be there for the opening will want to know if they will have to make travel arrangements. For Partick’s sake too, they need to know as early as possible, at least out of courtesy, since they have beeen very accommodating to us. We complain when TV moves games at the last minute. We must do our best to avoid the same by making a decision as early as possible. For me, if there is a risk we won’t make it, we should be asking for a postponement today or tomorrow at the very latest.

You're either going to be going to the football, or you're not. That's the only two outcomes. If you're going, you can plan a trip from Hamilton to Edinburgh with all but zero notice. If the game doesn't go ahead, you fall back on your plan for other things. I'm not sure its quite the drama you're making it out to be in honesty. I get that its nice to know what you're doing an whatnot, but this 'I MUST MAKE PLANS - I NEED TO KNOW' thing doesn't really apply when you're only coming an hour along the motorway.
