ejbh Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The statement seems to confirm my reading of the plans which is that the concourse is divided in two sections. Meaning you won’t be able to walk from one end to the other. I think there is a divide in the middle to allow access from directors suite and hospitality straight to the seating. Can anyone on site confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Edinburgh boys, it's away games to the West and up North, for those of us in the West, it's every home game and up North. Wee respite in West coast away games mind. Im late to the party with this I know but I just don’t get the complaints from any angle, although I’m not one to attack (for lack of a better word) people who are a little more fragile but I come from Argyll every week. 1 hour 20 to a ferry, half hour ferry journey then another hour to Tynie then back again. It’s not an invitation to get the measuring tape out but I’d wager I’m in the top 10% for longest, most frequent and most bloody expensive journeys to Tynecastle. If Hearts were to confirm it’s going ahead on Sunday at 10 I’d still make it, if they announced that it wouldn’t be going ahead at all then I’d do something else. You’ve got the day booked for the football, so even if other plans are missed due to it being called off at short notice it’s the same situation. You miss your other plans whether it’s on or off. It couldn’t have been much of an occasion missed if the football was a better option all along. The media have been on our backs big time, IMO, regarding this entire thing and I just don’t get it at all. We’ve built a 12 million pound (minimum) stand to add to Scottish football but the media and fans of other teams, that it doesn’t even effect, are calling it a disgrace and embarrassment? There are at least 8, maybe even 9 or 10, other teams in this league that won’t achieve what we have in the next 50 years but we’re the embarrassment? Get stuffed. Thank you for indulging my rant KB.
