topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Erm, single-tier stands are far superior and double-tier stands are completely unnecessary for a stadium like Tynecastle. If you're building a genuinely big stadium like Ibrox or the Emirates then double or even triple tiers are definitely the way to go If it's relatively small stadium then multiple tiers would be a really stupid idea Hearts, Hibs and presumably the new Aberdeen stadium are awkwardly somewhere in between. Easter Road ends up looking like a really small version of a big ground while Tynecastle looks like a ginormous version of a small ground Quite what happens in Aberdeen remains to be seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outside facade will completely rejuvenate the area along with the school and new flats further down the street. It'll need a lot more than that to rejuvenate Gorgie. Hopefully there are plans for even more new flats to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For better or worse, Gentrification has been creeping down Dalry road for decades.It's going to hit "North Polwarth" or "South Roseburn" sometime.The people who tried to turn Robbo's into a restaurant were getting ahead of the game though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Kingsford, Easter Road or Tynie could be possible future venues for the UEFA Super Cup which is usually held in stadiums with a capacity of around 20000-25000. I remember it was held in Trondheim last year (home of Rosenborg) which holds around 21,000.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lerkendal_Stadion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the history of the trophy being won by Aberdeen in the city before, 5 mins from an international airport, plenty of hotels, could get Fergie etc involved.

Just a shame - if it ever gets built - that it will be a soulless hell in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no history. No, the capital would be the natural choice.
