Big Fifer Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Walked past it the day. Looks pretty close to being done, not sure on the interior. I think it looks pretty impressive tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Imagine thinking whatever the f**k Aberdeen are building (if and wherever they build it) will be better than Tynecastle Park - or Easter Road for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Quite glad, really. Means a proper team in Partick are first to christen the new stand rather than that Ayrshire rabble. If it’s ready by then, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modern clean stadium as opposed to Tynecastle which has been in serious need of a spring clean for about 10 years. Better facilities for fans. Better corporate facilities. In fact, corporate facilities full stop, since Ann Budge seems to have forgotten about that. One that actually looks pleasing on the eye rather than like a bus shelter. A proper museum rather than a small room you lot are presenting. Pre and post match fan zones. Supporters bar. A cafe that fans can come to seven days a week and watch the team train. And with the corners enclosed (something you can only dream of at both Edinburgh stadiums) when full the atmosphere will trump anything mustered up in Gorgie. Also, UEFA compliant, so able to actually host internationals and group games as opposed to Hearts needing Murrayfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're confirming that this stadium is going to be every bit as bland an experience as that video suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Given that we'll now have a large plaza in front of the main stand, there could be a "Fan Zone" there I fucking hope not though. I can't imagine anything more wretched than two hours of organised jollity ahead of Hearts vs Hamilton in February (except possibly organised jollity before Aberdeen vs Falkirk in the middle of nowhere).
