east stand re build pics

[Spike Mandela]

So the goals are moving 2 metres further away from the west stand.

Hmm, this will mean the goals not being central to the North and South stands will this be noticeable or is 2 metres nothing

Nish should bang in at least 10 more next season if he maintains his home target range from this season then.

And Rankin should contribute more as well.

In fact any chance we could also move them 2 metres off the ground whilst we are at it?

Fantastic pictures.

I do have to give a fair bit of credit to the weather and the quality of light at the time....might have to miss a night out tonight though, as I'm playing 5's for the first time in ages, so I don't fancy my chances of wanting to wander about this evening :o)

My only worry is that it'll be finished by Friday

I wouldn't have said that that was a major concern, myself. The main concern is that the whole pitch should be visible from every seat, and I understand that that will be the case.

We won't know what it'll really be like until it's done.

That's a bit pathetic.


Somebody needs to tell the Webmaster at Hibs what a Webcam actually is.

In today's evening news there is a shot of the east stand from the west.

Inside there is another picture of the pitch. If you look at the south stand I reckon that the goal posts have already been moved to suit the new dimensions. Doesn't look too bad.

This stand is - in words of one syllable - going to be ****ing quality!!!

Our stadium is going to be the envy of non OF teams (and if Celtic fans are honest, in terms of build qulaity, ER will piss all over their tinpot dome)

It's almost enough to make on think that if Hughes gets this close season right in terms of signings, we could easily be amongst the favourites with Dundee United for 3rd place, next season, and maybe even trouble the *****ter half of the Old Firm for longer than we managed this season.

Not that a new stand and performances on the pitch are ACTUALLY linked at all, just the general positive buzz about the place that the completed new stand should bring.

I think that is a mistake. The pitch is getting widened by 4m. 2m in each direction (that's why they are taking the bottom row out of the west) so the goals should stay where they are.

Wonder if these 'minor' changes to the West will incorporate new fancy Prem style dug-outs?

Also any more news on the Stadium becoming enclosed as was mentioned at the AGM?

They're also increasing the run-off area in front of the West Stand; I think this is about compliance for internationals and European matches.

This is probably why the East is set back a little farther than we all first expected.

thats why some grounds have front rows of seats covered of for euro matches as they are too close...just looks stupid...also the need for space for the copious amounts of advertising thats goes with the game now..

PS.. only now just realised why the new stands looks so different and spindley...its because the rear main supports are not the huge concrete sections that other 3 have (presumably du to not supprting large additional internal floors) whats being built reminds me a lot of away end stand at Rugby Park

i was always under the impression that the Champs League advertising was taller/bigger than normal and thats why the 3 rows covered as people cant see.

Has it got any internal stairs to access the seats or do you start at the bottom and walk up the terraced deck (for want of the proper term)? Much like an old fashioned terrace.

Starting to look great! No more freebies for the flats behind
