Kiwidoug Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 6 hours ago, jonnothejambo said: To use a horse analogy it's a like a thoroughbred compared to a Clydesdale. In basic English, Easter Road stadium is a shitehouse, glued together by shite, played on by shite, watched by shite, and shat on by seagulls who use it as a shitehouse. If our players are in the form Jonno's in, St Mirren are on threshold of a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Councils are the same everywhere I was well aware of the need to rush through planning and design at a rate of knots with the nursery issue but less so re the ridiculous speed of the actual construction itself. I made the trip North for what turned out to be the 1st home win in front of the new stand v Motherwell last December and sat in it. Though impressed and pleased, I was somewhat shocked at how rough round the edges it was in places. Nothing that can’t be remedied in the fullness of time though. Looking forward to my next trip up to see it again. Proud of it, we most certainly can be. To be fair the land purchase, planning, design AND construction all had to be completed at ridiculous speed to meet the completion date.

DesertDawg Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 You have to wonder what the HSE and North British Distillers' insurance company were thinking as far as ethanol leakage into Tynecastle Park and Tynecastle school was concerned prior to the planning permission submission for the new stand.

The Plaza is a great space that the club seems to have ideas for In a perfect world the Roseburn would be pushed back, rebuilt and enlarged with the main and Wheatfield stands both made at least one section longer. Obviously this would require school and distillery land plus considerable cash, but at the end, we would probably have the best 25-30k stadium in the world, a full size pitch and no restricted seats.

Some of the insane OTT reactions amongst the fans towards certain players over the last couple of seasons makes me wary.

You could say the same thing will happen when the fans take ownership of the Club through FoH. That is a great development, and more money being available for the squad will be fantastic - some fans giving some players pelters does not change that fact.
