kila Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Will be good to watch the rest of the interior of the new stand getting painted in various strip colours etc. It is a really good theme to go with. Other stands with a similar thing would finish it all off. New stand railings are still plain grey, would be nice if they got painted maroon like the other stands. Also, really wish they'd paint the inside of the gable ends maroon like - https://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index.php?/topic/177440-paint-the-walls-of-tynecastle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The restaurant/function suite on the top floor still needs completed I think. Ann Budge said at the AGM back in December that it had to be ready at some point in June because the first wedding is booked for then!

been here before Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Just getting the stand finished would be good. How many millions we looking at now for a still incomplete stand? The rest of the stands are looking a bit shabby in and out too. Some of the girders in the Wheatfield are almost green. The outside of the stands too particularly the Roseburn and the Wheatfield could do with a good hosing down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Certainly would be interesting to get an end of season update. My recollection is that the changing rooms should be ready for the start of next season and the ‘sky lounge’ by June as someone is getting married there.

mitch41 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Do they still close off the corridor between the north and south sections of the new main stand to let the Directors and their guests get from their lounge to their seats. I remember they also closed the walkway in front of the Directors seated area obviously to keep them away from fans. This is really bad planning as you'd imagine the Directors and guests would have their own private access from their lounge to their seats which does not having to close off access for fans to parts of the ground.

Bull's-eye Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 On my visit to the Directors suite this season, which contrary to the ****in morons on here that will expect it to have Gold Champagne taps, its now right beside the main entrance and the size of a Shoebox.

One at the top of each stair would have been ideal if they were filled every week for a premium price. Not sure they would be though. I’m Not going to lose any sleep about it though!

In any event if neither the dressing rooms nor the Boardroom/Directors Suite are yet complete it suggests rather slow progress. What has actually been done I the last 6 to 9 months?
