Gorgie Road Sign

[GorgieFifeLife]

It’s a great idea but it will be difficult to create something which looks authentic when you are painting it on to corrugate which is obviously not a flat surface.  Fairly sure the guy doing the painting wouldn’t have recommended this approach.  It may look ok when finished but there is a high chance that it will look half arsed.

Inspired by our recruitment methodology and a nod to our coaching staff.

Personally, I'll sit back and await the final outcome.

 

It might just very well be stunning.

 

But, for the cynics amongst us, here's an appropriate song.

 

"Rip it up and start again"

 

"I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out" ... etc.

 

😄

 

 

 

Nah, don't wait until it's complete until it's done and judge on it's own merits. 

 

Far better, mature and normal to project any negative thoughts about Hearts on to this and send yourself spiralling into a rage before it's even finished.

"Auld Gorgie Sign" oot???

Who would have funk it?

 

We've come along way since administration.

If we won the league some folk would moan that there wasn't enough yoof or flair involved.

 

 

[luckydug]

If the above is an accurate example I think it looks great.

Mind you I'm not a moaning faced bairn like most of the inhabitants of this thread.

Dunno, our season depends on it.

 

As the Middle East teeters on all out war, America sits on the cusp of a civil war threatening world peace and Russia look to invade Europe,  this paint job puts it all in the shade.

The drawing gave the impression it would be quite a big sign. Doesn’t look big enough.

Making a replica and hanging it up would have probably been cheaper than putting a scaffold up and paying people to paint it, and on corrugation, so depending on where the daylight is there will be shadow lines. 🤦‍♂️ 

[Star Lizard]

Maybe the letters will be attached and it is just the maroon backing that is painted ? Im sure it will look decent either way though 

[heartsfc_fan]

I'll wait till it's finished before making judgement.

Well considering the sign was there for many years including the crap 70s and 80s, nostalgia isn't always great, jesus that looks awful. Do they really have a clue, why are the fans never asked opinion on anything or what type of sign they would like. I mean painting on corrugated iron who thought oh that will be good plus if we announce it now, it will shut the peasants up. I despair more and more about this current board on anything football related over last few years, wooh we got 3rd 4th 3rd in a poor league with pretty poor hibs and sheep. Why do they never have any dialogue with the true fanbase silence is golden when they get a bit flak, and its our history as football club not the budge bowling club and women institute for friends and family. Cheap looking superficial guff. Wasn't sure if good or bad idea originally as I would rather use money to upgrade other parts of stadium as we aren't spending it on striker, but then saw that they are getting some artist in, once again board on the cheap while the fat cats live off the club money she ain't the saint folk think.

The national lottery heritage fund have donated the money for this. 

[colinmaroon]

 

Was going to say that I couldn't  believe the negativity, and I remembered Kickback can be a Fools Paradise.

 

I'm delighted and I'm sure the end result will be just like the sign was when it was originally erected, or the top rate sign painter may add some aging.

 

Either way if it's sticking to an accurate representation of the original, fine by me.

You've read all that into a sign being painted on the outside of a stand?

Surely, yes surely to god they've applied to recreate the sign and mount it on an arch over the current gates BUT, BUT have been denied planning permission. 

 

Surely they haven't thought we'll paint it on the stand, surely!!

When finished, can they move the scaffolding round to the Wheatfield and removed the half-arsed advert sign?

Cheep option again. Why do we get the simple things so wrong

Most fans I know were asking for another striker and a centre half. Who was asking for the old sign to make a comeback? 🤔

[Australis]

I love the idea.

 

But can't help feeling it's a decision to make us forget about the keystone cops management and players.

Yep they definitely applied for lottery funding, got the money and found a company to start the work all since the start of the season.

[Gorgie_Rules]

Must admit I laughed out loud when I seen it painted onto the stand.

 

Not that big a deal but at same time its a piss poor effort at restoring something nostalgic.

 

However folk will literally bash the board with anything when results aren’t going our way

I don’t think we will be relegated but we are showing no semblance of a team that know what they are doing. So far away from the attacking team Naismith spoke about last year, he brings in a pile of players and plays them out of position. Unbalanced and completely confused. Not improved in attacking areas. Has all the signs of a team in serious trouble.
