DG_HMFC Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 These pictures show just how small and compact the main stand is,if you look at the trusses all around our ground they don't dominate the stands as much as the picture of the one at the main stand does. The truss is absolutely massive. I encourage anyone who hasn't seen it yet to nip down and have a look before it's hoisted up into place.

Drewboy Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 What are you all talking about first of all I was there to see bonnyrigg, my mates son plays for them I'm not a ****** verman supporter and if you take a look tomorrow night you will see the fixing that's missing it's almost at ****** eyelevel .Before you start slagging people offMy ST is in A front and I can confirm that you are correct that one of the diagonal supporting ties does appear to have a pin missing. It has been that way for at least 5 years since I first noticed it. How about rather than worrying and posting your concerns on JKB, contact the club and report it!

Mikey1874 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The clamour for everyone who says anything bad to be an adherent of the h1b5 is both sad and pathetic I would add that Keith Hogg(ex-stadium manager) told me access to the roofs was nigh impossible so I would reckon a problem will be known but might not be able to be addressed during the season, I will also say that calling Scabber as a non fan is an affront to a home and away supporter no wonder he takes umbrage. Bit naive then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Robbo Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Chapman: Trouble at Tynecastle. Cleveland: Oh no - what kind of trouble? Chapman: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treadle. Cleveland: Pardon? Chapman: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treadle. Cleveland: I don't understand what you're saying. Chapman: [slightly irritatedly and with exaggeratedly clear accent] One of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treadle. Cleveland: Well what on earth does that mean? Chapman: *I* don't know - Mr Scabber just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at Tynecastle that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

Rudi Hates Hibees Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Never, if things go to plan. On the tour last Friday it was mentioned the club would be using the new changing rooms until around December. Apparently only the seating and concourse areas will be complete by September with the stand internals scheduled for completion by December at the latest.

jamboinglasgow Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Not to come over all greenginger (oo er missus) but I am starting to wonder if we are going to see a real delay in construction. Obviously the truss is going to be completed over the next week or so. But the planning application that has been granted has conditions that apart from demolition and assembly and fitting of the truss no work will happen until the retaining wall of the distillery is built. Now looking at its planning application it still not granted and has no date of the application meeting. From the previous meetings it seems 3 weeks from the date announced to the meeting, then you will have weeks of work. So could be a few months until main work starts. I am correct with this, or not?

Don Dan Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 My view on the "wall" is that there will be an agreed design signed off and work on the "wall" and the Stand will progress simultaneously with both being signed off on schedule (or near as dam it).

gjcc Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) This is the wall we're talking about right? I assume so from those images.(incorrectly according to the above post) I realise regulations have likely changed since the Wheatfield and Roseburn were built. But I still find it astounding that this wall's ability/integrity has only become an issue now that we are building a new stand that lies further away and less likely to be affected than the other two stands. If the stand ended up not going ahead(hypothetically) would the HSE still insist that the wall was reinforced now that they have pointed it out as a potential safety issue?

Dallas Green Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) it's true, the beam is held up by a bit string no less. been like that for years. Glad to see the professional repair work.

Dallas Green Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I believe its the smaller wall around the 2 tanks. Not the boarder wall to the school. They look tiny. I'd imagine the walls required will need to be a lot larger. I can't remember if answered before but is the wall to stop a blast or contain the contents?

Erik Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I actually had no idea those were the tanks in question, its the first time I've really thought about it till now in honesty. When you see it pictured like that you realise how daft a requirement it is given the other buildings in the more immediate vicinity of the tanks.
