Squirt Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 2 hours ago, XB52 said: We were about the last ones out so there were 7000 other lucky ones? I sat in the main stand for the first time in the normal seats (as in not hospitality) for the game against Livingston. I want to say it was section Q, and I know for a fact that it was row 31. It took me a good 10 to 12 minutes to get onto the concourse and this was after somebody opened one of the doors at the top of the stand which, by the looks of the tools lying around, wasn't supposed to have been opened. I normally sit in the bottom of the Wheatfield in the seat right next to the stair and it takes me less than 90 seconds to hit the stairs leading to Wheatfield Road. My girlfriends grandad who I drive to and from the games with sits in the upper section of the Wheatfield and he's out in about 4 or 5 minutes. The new stand is without a doubt very slow to clear in comparison ot the Wheatfield. I've said it before though, if you are desperate to get out quickly then buy a seat near the stairs and leave bang on the whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think if we ever did something along these lines again they need to only have retired players who have proven to be true Jambos - such as Bauld, Mackay, Cruickshank, Ford, Robertson.

Going by the OP, in November 2016 we were only just discussing the announcement that the new stand would be built. That was less than two and a half years ago! Despite all the flak about the stand being late, that is an incredible achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave McCreery's knee Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I wish we would get rid of the G4S tarpaulins. Hate them.
