The new one is a fair bit steeper. Thought according to new building regs the new stand can’t be as steep as the wheatfield. It’s less so by about 1degree?!

This was actually a pic of me on my way to the 5-1 final: fortuitously, due to the curvature of the Earth, my journey from the ISS was actually shorter to Hampden than it would have been to Tynecastle. And on this occasion, I'm currently conducting a wheel repair to the Mars Rover so the sooner Budge can tell us if the game's on the better.

Bet that felt like an insurmountable barrier to expansion at one time. Looks like a lot less change would Be needed if we ever wanted to expand the Wheatfield than was required to build it.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 1 hour ago, RosscoC said: August “Everything that was due to be delivered by 9th September will still be delivered by then, with the exception of the installation of the seats.” “Our new target date for being “open for business”, however, is now Sunday 5th November, 2017. Given this new date, when we do open the stand in November, we will be in a position to open everything on the first floor, including 2 of our hospitality lounges, well ahead of our earlier scheduled date. Similarly, all of our supporter areas will be completed to the finished standard, rather than the minimal standard that would have been delivered in September” October “I will issue a further detailed progress up-date to our supporters later in the week. I would, however, take this opportunity to stress that the building programme will see the handover of Phase 1 requirements to the club within the next 10 days.”“However, the time then remaining to enable "acceptance testing" of all the various new facilities and processes would be very limited,were we to aim to play our opening game on 5th November, 2017.” November “1. Only part of the Ground Floor (Main Reception area, the Players’ Lounge and the Supporter Turnstiles) will be open for business. All other areas are strictly out-of-bounds.3. I want to stress that not all concourse areas have been decorated to the finished standard, particularly in the North section. However, we will have everything fully completed and decorated to a high standard over the coming weeks.” That's done it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Lambretta Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Alan Archibald having a go at us in the current Bun this morning saying we are only trying to get the main stand open for financial gain. He goes on saying we should be forced to play with just 3 stands like we did earlier in this season. You would think someone at the pre-match interview would let him know we have 14k season ticket holders and they cannot all fit into the 3 stands. WTF are we supposed to do tell a couple of thousand season ticket holders and the Partick fans they cannot attend the game because Alan Archibald has insisted we play with just 3 stands?

It is probably down to a finance thing. But it’s unfair if we’re forced to plan NINE games in December to help Hearts out financially. I don’t know about the safety issues in terms of getting to the ground but I want the game on. But it’s not fair on supporters if they call it off late on Saturday night and plans are up in the air."

Nothing unless at 12 noon today it’s bad news.

Alternatively you could watch or read what he said in his press conference rather than believing the spin of that rag. Whilst the delays have caused a bit of embarrassment and inconvenience with regard to planning, the Scottish media's reporting of the new stand has been poor. For a Scottish club to be building a £14million new stand these days is remarkable, particularly considering the state we were in a few years ago and even more so when you look at what is being constructed over such a short space of time. It is a huge plus to Scottish football and big upgrade to what is already regarded as one of the best stadiums in the Scottish game, yet a few months delay to the construction has largely skewed the longer term benefits to Hearts/the game up here being reported.
