Bairney The Dinosaur Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I wonder (if the season goes the way we hope) if we could see the KM7 Stand sold out to season ticket holders next year. Doesn't seem to be many available each week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 5 hours ago, BPM said: So how can you get funding when something is not even approved? My understanding is this is standard practice for any sort of community lottery/ government funding etc. You wouldn't want to incur substantial costs getting a full suite of design drawings prepared, ecological surveys etc for Planning Permission, then even more for a Building Warrant package - only to have your funding request turned down. I can't speak for Engineers but your Architects fees alone for all that would probably run to at least £20k. A QS should be able to prepare an initial cost plan off some fairly simple sketches based on standard construction build-ups. Then I believe the foundation will have had to jump through a number of hoops to secure funding against that estimate. Once you have the approval you can start moving forward with the more detailed design. I reckon it will move quite quickly as I understand this sort of funding is often only ringfenced until the end of the next financial year ie April 2025 (where the project needs to be completed, not just started on site). I have no idea what the actual process will be for this specific project though, hopefully someone from the Foundation will be able to shed some light. We'll just have to think of something else to put in one of the corner pods now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the building will be positioned well clear of the area earmarked for the 4th stand According to the Herald the building will be positioned next door to the KM7, so not on the east side. On another note, was it 5-1 last night and come on the Annan today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought they would have kept this under wraps a bit until it was much closer to actually happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll just have to think of something else to put in one of the corner pods now No need for another stand to mirror the existing infrastructure for no other reason it looks ascetically pleasing. The most cost-effective, cheapest structure should be the one we go for and the simpler the better. Hardcore banking, Concreted stepped layout for mixed terracing, seating. 15 rows deep, Toilets, Turnstiles, Catering behind. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought they would have kept this under wraps a bit until it was much closer to actually happening. Seems a bit risk tbh. It’d clutter the area and in any case, the ctty pitch will have to go at some stage. The Scotdrone picture is just an illustration but the ctty pitch is slap-bang in the middle of where the approach and I suppose car park will have to be for the final stand. Guess this planning application will need tooked closely at. Edited February 10 by StuartA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had hinted at it when Hendo and Coll extended saying he was looking forward to working with them for another two years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I do think that would be the catalyst for a lot of the players staying on tbh. They all seem to love him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioBairn Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Excellent news. His recruitment has been brilliant, his style of play is entertaining and the players love working with him. I wonder if there’s still people out there who think we should replace him with Alan Maybury 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
