Mr Sifter Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 6 minutes ago, Jambo, Goodbye said: Under the pieman and Vlad, we perhaps pocketed the money paid out to us for the seats whilst replacing the broken ones with seats we had in storage? Pre-admin, I wouldn't be surprised. Especially during the aggressive cost cutting days under the Pie. Or maybe it's not possible to replace seats in small numbers. Could be a minimum number needing ordered. Just thinking out loud mind. Aye, valid points mate. You’re probably right re CR and Vlad. Can’t understand the mindset that would see the look of our stadium slowly deteriorate for the sake of pockling a few quid tho, just seems counter productive. Hopefully they get them sorted out sooner rather than later tho, the unsightly look seemed a bit easier to tolerate when we had the auld stand, now tho, it’s a major annoyance when you look at the rest of our stadium ?

Agreed ? Ann did confirm the seats will be replaced eventually. Can't remember when but it was last season. Can't wait to see all four stands spruced up.

Think we should invest in some industrial strength seats in the away end, that when kicked cause significant damage to shins and legs.

A brash American cow who does columns for papers/magazines. Anyway, she had been moaning about how dirty it was around her bed and a cleaner came around and Pearson spoke to her like a piece of shit. So so I looked across and she happened to be breastfeeding at the time and the stupid cow shouted across the ward - “shut the ****ing curtains that guy is staring at my tits” So my missus was like “was she talking about you?” I was like “yes, she was speaking down to a cleaner and I thought she was being rude as ****” Next question: “were you?” FFS I pay no heed to celebrities. That sounds pretty horrendous.... even though I rarely agree with you I can at least agree that any human feelings of superiority are false. we all bleed. We all die.

Gershwin Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 How many 'passes' of the pitch does the giant sewing machine make? Just the one? Or is it 2/3 depending on how much cash we've stumped up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Darkness Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 On 29/06/2018 at 22:38, Richard Dawkins said: They are not faded. It would be impossible for them to be individually faded on a seat for seat basis. Fading would occur over an area and not be specic to individual seats. Hence, due to the Roseburn being for away supporters, it would suggest that the different coloured seats have replaced the original seats that have been vandalised. Was thinking why don't we get a big retractable cover fitted to the pitchside wall and the concourse 1st seat barriers, just big enough for each section, that we pull out after the fans have gone away. Like a big maroon bog roll - a wee yank and away it goes b4 the ground opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby the B Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Went to the VIP Stadium tour on Friday evening. Great couple of hours. The amount of space in the new stand is amazing. Anyway took these while there: First one shows the work on the police box (close as I could get). Next is a close up of the pitch. Bottom part is seeded only. top has been "stitched". The remainder are in the players' dressing room (a reminder, perhaps)? I took some others, but no point in duplicating pics of the "Green Machine"!

On some photos it looks like the grass is pretty much done and then you see Bobby the B's post and it looks quite bare. I appreciate the sowing machine is still to do its thing in some areas but it does still look like a task to get it ready for the first game. I also love how no one can get a clear photo of the police box scaled back, its like a secret project with photos on long lenses or behind machines.
