To be honest I don't think they've got anything to be envious about when they're regularly beating us in derbies, off the park stuff means nothing unless you're dominating on it.

i8hibsh Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 So pwoud. Vewy pwoud. Just a lick of paint (pink bits) and some new seats (old weathered ones) from an actual stadium of perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busby1985 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I’d have preferred hearts to have gone with something more simply in design, like the picture attached. Obviously someone would have to drill out holes for us to get in and out, painted maroon of course. Hundreds of huge speedy hire spotlights in the plaza as well, obviously, cause it’s mega dark down there at night and don’t even get me started on the different sized curved steps. No border on the hearts monoblock as well would’ve been my preferred option and a massive Tynecastle Park sign on top of the concrete block visible from space, like the drawing that some random knocked up on photoshop, ken. We would also be saving 100k on window cleaning with my simple design. This thread after Sunday is going to be chronic with folk posting pics of all the things they don’t like about the stand. All the building experts critiquing the workman ship. Be even worse if we don’t win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have beat us 3 times in 3 years regular you say. With the new stand and once things get sorted a bit better on the pitch the hobo seethe will hit maximum. We are a club on the up new stand,FOH money coming through. Soon normal service will resume and it will be for the foreseeable future.

Let its tyres doon if its just a shade too high. Cherry picker is quite a bit longer. In theory, there could be a possibility that it wouldn't be able to get through the gap and make the turn to go out of the gap in the side wall. They've already taken one out through there though, so it's not going to be a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I’m not the only person here who’s spent some time in that building (uni library). For anyone who does not know it I can tell you that it generates a great deal more noise than you often experience at Tynecastle. And probably more reading gets done at Tynie........

It's like role reversal from what it used to be, we'd hammer them senseless on the park meaning they had to claim small victories from off the park goings on just to cling on to something, now it's us that are doing that. New stand looks great obviously but for me if we're playing terribly and getting beat by Hibs then I refuse to let a stand blind my concern.

Random facts - that library is the largest in Europe by the number of books. And, it is also the building with the highest floor loading capacity (can't remember the specific name) and could carry 10 x more books than it does).

Instead of doing what I was meant to be doing, I used to read the old leather bound copies of the Scotsman in that library. Probably on microfiche or something now. The reports of the German invasion of the Low Countries in WW2 were mostly dismissive- too many casualties, they’ll overextend themes, etc. Think I read about a years worth in one sitting.

Edin uni library is a brutalist masterpiece, imho. It has, however, next to nothing in common with our superb new stand. The only link being that it overlooks the scene of our first game against Hibs.
