Depends on the criteria it is comfortable enough and the upper parts of the stands have reasonable views if a little far from the pitch It is all over the place aesthetically though from the weird shaped stands and their different distances to the proximity of the stands to the pitch . The sterile breeze block interior and the stark and uninteresting off white panels on the out side …………….. their screens just highlight the odd shape and design even further but yip still better than Pittodrie or Tannadice A very distant fourth at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetically speaking I do not like it , from the big black vertical stripe to the wee screen connected by the wee bit armoured casing and the fact that it was stuck in that corner to try and disguise the oddly big gap there - compared to the other corners Whole place just looks a bit shit in my opinion and I like that ours is compact and scans better Edited August 18, 2022 by Sooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we slag each other off, they hate us & we hate them, no point in either side trying to pretend to be above it, it's woven into the fabric of the clubs & the city as a whole & the game is better for it. If we weren't 'obsessed' the derby would be just another game. Not a dig at you at all btw just in case! On topic the screens look good, shame they can't go on the trusses as would look better but that's how the ground was designed & no point spending silly money to fix it now.

Homme Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Engineering and logistics costs to put on the trusses would have probably been deterimental but could have been done similar to the Watford video. Unfortunately we don't have the pockets of EPL teams. The trusses are fine for the weight though, can tell by just looking at them IMO.

Surprised we'd have to reinforce the trusses but the stand wall is OK. I'd have thought it might've been more with planning permission, that the Roseburn truss screen would be too high/visible from the Gorgie flats? Though the council seem OK with sticking huge digital ad screens where they beam into properties so maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned before on the trusses wouldve looked a lot better. The cost to support them all the way to the rear of the stand no doubt would have been heavy.

Reinforcement wouldn't be required, just a more detailed / complex connection system to hang them which takes time and money. What we are doing now isnt much different to hanging a TV in your living room albeit on a grander scale. The good thing is that the screens are ours and can be easily moved if the opportunity arose in future. I still think they look great!

gordiegords Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I was at Easter road the other week and found the screens pretty annoying, you’d be watching the game then bang a massive advert came on the screens, really hoping we don’t do that.
