Anyone miss the old stand?

[gazza88]

I miss the terracing. I know the new stadium is great but I remember when 13000 were in it looked pretty full an had a good atmosphere. Something is gone now I just can't get used to it unless we pulled 19000 every week.

So tell me mate - how did you enjoy the game last night. What was it like sitting in that pile of manaure you call a stand?

[gazza88]

13000 in the ground I meant and no. I'm not a jambo.

Not normally my patter on here to play the yam card but this thread stinks of a wind up!! Hearts were begging for a bigger stadium last night and the look on the spurs players faces was priceless when exiting the bus into the main bus shelter.

[gazza88]

I wasn't even thinking bout them tbh I just miss the atmosphere.

They thought they were stuck in a time warp ..back to the days of the old rickety flea, ridden asbestos lined ****-hole stands ..& ive not even touched on the wooden one yet ...

I've played at tynecastle twice. One of the worst changing rooms even compared to public parks but the terracing wasn't our main stand.

Mind it was rocking when we pumped the Yams 6-2?

Mind their greeting Yam tramp faces at the end? Priceless!

What word would you use to describe their sad pusses at the end of the game?

Did you scrub yourself down with disinfectant afterwards?

What words would you use to describe how manky and filth-ridden the Pink Beast Shelter is?

It's a throw back to 19th century football.

[The_Horde]

I really miss the old terracing and you are right, something is missing. In the old east you felt like part of the game, a 12th man almost, even when there wasn't much singing. A lot of the time now I just feel like a mere customer, like I'm at the theatre or something.

It all boils down to quality of the product on the park one way or another. They were quick enough to put the prices up when we were doing well under mowbray/collins so why haven't the prices gone back down now that we are gash again?

At least there's still one throwback stand in Edinburgh, surrounded by three pink bus shelter-esque stands which are regularly half filled by orcs and tramps.

[RickyS]

not getting involved in the YAM debate, but...YES i miss the old East. said at the time I would rather have invested in the squad
and gave the old east a face lift.

[Antifa Hibs]

New East is pish compared to the terracing, verging on the fact I'm starting to hate it. New ones good against Hearts when there's 1-2k up for it and stood. Against everyone else though its dire. The singing section in recent weeks has been an embarrassment. Full of witless dafties that you never seen in the auld stand.

Also when did you last smell hash floating across the stand or empty cans kicking about the bogs?

Give me the old stand every day off the week. Was also alot cheaper!

[HibbyAndy]

Now this boy may well be a Jambo I certainly have my reservations ..BUT...YES, I do miss the Old East terracing Place went radge when scoring against Hearts...The new East just doesnt do it for me one bit, Im aware it makes it look a nice new fancy stadium that looks the part..But i miss the old east terracing bigtime...Scoring against Hearts was carnage in the East.


East terracing fans folk ken whats gaun on..

I wish we were able to keep the East stand longer, I was never really able to properly enjoy terracing because I was really small and could never see

Even so I still loved when the whole stand was bouncing when we played Hearts or anyone else for that matter

Looks like Erik Sorensen in goals for Morton. And Neilly Martin for the Hibees?

Willie Hamilton, I think.

[Kevvy1875]

I miss the old shed. Squad of about 10+ always meeting up in there. Lucky if 4 or 5 turn up now and you end up getting scattered about the ground to your allocated 'seat'. Give me the old bench style so as we can stand again!
