dipped flake Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 slightly off topic but our new stand just got planning permission granted from the council. Demolition of the buildings behind the old stand to start in the next few weeks. Brilliant news and amazing to see where we are now compared to just a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Scheduled to be finished September next year with a capacity of 20,000, current 17,400 capacity unaffected this season. Not sure how that works, but sounding pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 just a wee bit smaller altho I can imagine they will magically add 500 ish extra to get bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil r Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Firstly I've never gloated. Secondly I never said you were a Hibs fan it's just the majority of the roasters on that particular thread post pretty much the same as you've just posted. I thought it would be kind to introduce you to kindered spirits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it a big modernisation project of the whole of one side of the ground but it seems bizarre that the new stand which looks big will only have 2500 more seats? For £11m ? Bit strange that they could not have squeezed more capacity in but I guess it's due to the surrounds etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, as you say, we are jammed inbetween houses and a school so not much room to grow. Hearts always said the main thing was to replace the old stand which was costing us hundreds of thousands every year to maintain and get a safety certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good when it's done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Q Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 The replacement of the ramshackle old stand is obviously long overdue, and it is good to see it happening. I don't think there is really much of a case for making the capacity much bigger than 20,000 anyway, can't see any point in spending more just to have more seats that will probably be empty as often as not. What matters to me, and most Hearts fans I suspect, is that not only does the club now have a future (something that seemed very unlikely only a couple of years ago) but that it is going to be at Tynecastle.

Will we be able to fit another 500 seats in what with the Gorgie Tesco and all those flats flats glorious flats which you kept telling us were getting built there?

macy37 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Just a shame that it won't be large enough to host those semi final matches that the fans always want a 25k plus seater stadium for.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
