Eric Arthur Blair Posted July 20, 2022 Report Posted July 20, 2022 Planning application and drawings available here. Quote
Callum Gilhooley Posted July 20, 2022 Report Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Ok , am I looking at these plans and reading them correctly ? if not, please correct me. There doesn’t appear to be toilet facilities in the drawing or mentioned in the description ( again , i may have missed it) Also, as EAB has commented, no heating ? Really ? Lastly , if they’re going to have these in place for the start of the season, they’re gonna have to get a wiggle on 😂 Edited July 20, 2022 by Callum Gilhooley Quote

Lastly , There is mention of vapour barrier on w/c side of partition. Maybe that means something else ?? Also see that electrical installation has to comply with 16th edition, we are now onto 18th edition I think. Quote

Have to say , if punters have to traipse through to the family stand and back for a pee in the winter weather it’s not exactly executive . If that’s the case . Quote

Sonny Posted July 21, 2022 Author Report Posted July 21, 2022 I would think that unheated refers to no central heating (gas or oil). Doesn't rule out portable electrical heating.Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote

I reckon the timescales will still be for next season based on press release. It seems like they have missed the boat for this season and these dates on the application were probably the original intention if that makes sense. Quote

If they declare them as heated then the base needs to be built to a very high standard. in any event they will be hard to heat. In that structure the temperature fluctuates wildly in the winter from Baltic to balmy Quote

Suppose constant opening the door could let the heat out. Maybe a duffle coat will be supplied, just in case? Quote
Callum Gilhooley Posted July 22, 2022 Report Posted July 22, 2022 Damn , Morton have beaten us to it 😡 Quote
truesaint Posted July 23, 2022 Report Posted July 23, 2022 Morton are way ahead of us with their individual exclusive boxes. You can even get one for sitting in your regular seat and only cost a fiver per match. Quote

beyond our ken Posted January 9, 2023 Report Posted January 9, 2023 "Unfortunately, the detailed costings for the planned approach came in at almost double that first indicated. As such the Club Board has reluctantly decided to shelve the plans for now and investigate alternative options" For such a simple build, a doubling of the price seems incredible. It's probably best to disengage with the contractor and forget this proposal completely. Quote

Or get someone in the club who is commercially astute and can understand actual deployment costs before selling these facilities to companies. Highly unprofessional. Quote
Albanian Buddy Posted January 9, 2023 Report Posted January 9, 2023 The academy refurb was due to cost around £80K iirc. Those costs have far exceeded that original estimation. Quote

Cairters_Corner Posted January 9, 2023 Report Posted January 9, 2023 There’s a demand for these with one company already signed up for one. Hopefully the club can get an alternative in place. Quote
