Cut The Crap Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 9 hours ago, SUTOL said: So, first 'wet' match in the new stand. How was your experience? I noticed people moving back from the front rows, and all the media desks were wet and they were being handed paper towels to dry their stuff. Radio guys complaining about it as well. More importantly there was leaks in the roof above PR and some folk had to move seat. And, one other complaint about the pie-stand. I asked for and was charged for a steak pie, but got a scotch pie. I'm still shaking with rage! Didn't realise till I was in my seat. For anyone who has been at Tynecastle in the rain since about 1993, the highlighted part was entirely predictable.

kila Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Really good photo reel video that, well done for keeping a timeline of it all. Do you have all the photos still in high res? Would be good to have them on a flickr page to skip through, date stamps would be good too. That photo of the changing rooms wasn't actually our ones though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already happened at the Hamilton game - folk were standing on the concourse at full time leaning over to shout to the Hamilton mob, while commentators were covering their mics I presume this layout is purely the architects doing than Budge's decision?

Wayofthecass Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks for pointing that out on the changing rooms. I was going to say I can only hope Hearts do the right thing and amend the changing room designs accordingly in order to suit my montage but instead, I've edited it out of the montage using a youtube tool. Hopefully, it works. Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll give the studio a nice view of the new stand as a backdrop Do you know how many seats are lost and where in lower Z it'll be?

Buffalo Bill Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Perhaps worth bumping this thread only for the fact that the new stand was absolutely bouncing on Sunday. It was also Tynecastle's biggest crowd since 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InNothingWeTrust Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Power cut in the main stand at half time causing the lack of PA.

Got Milinkovic's first goal announcement 10 mins or something afterwards. Was actually quite good to just have the crowd noise and no announcement/music drowning it out.

RobboM Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I think the bouncing of the main stand crowd probably just dislodged the main plug out of is socket (that's how these things work isn't it?)

Hearts_fan Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I enjoyed the fact the PA system went out at half time, as I could actually hold a conversation with the people I was at the game with. I know I'm in the minority, possibly vast minority, but I just enjoyed the 'natural' stadium noise during the interval, the quiet hum of people talking. It was much more enjoyable than listening to intense commercial noise for 15 minutes, which I find off-putting and invasive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, it was nice to talk to the guys either side of me and not have to shout because the music especially in the new stand is rather loud.
