    Because the people in the East aren't important enough?

    How about a sun roof like they have in the old stand at Tincastle?

    because people actually sit in the seats in the East so they would get worn oot

    Wish we would just tidy the place up a bit. The Famous Five stand in particular is looking really tatty. The silver tubing stuff above the entrance to BTG is shocking. It's been bashed to bits for years now and never fixed. That's the entrance often used for functions etc. Above the club store is a mess as well. These should be simple, regular tidy ups instead of being allowed to build up for years.
    Would love to see the corners filled in with something. Some good ideas on here. Far better than just empty space at either end of the West like at present
    That's true ..... it must have been bashed not that long after the stand was opened, must have been something really big to make such a big dent so high up. To be fair you can only see the roof of the club store from inside BTG ..... but you are right, it could do with a tidy up.

    What the roof of the club store really needs is some decking and a door into BTG so that I can have a fag without having to go down 3 flights of stairs

    Have been saying for years they need to add some sort of signage which lights up on the main stand / FF or South - ideally something visible from a distance / Arthur Seat etc.

    Would also be an idea to name the East, West and South stands.

    ..... I was up Calton Hill a few months ago ( During the day ) and you can clearly see the whole stadium from up there. How cool would it be if we had a big 'HIBERNIAN FOOTBALL CLUB neon sign on top of the west stand.

    Thousands of tourists go up there and it might make a few of them curious to pay us a visit

    Big TV in the West/FF corner, safe standing in FF/East with normal seating filling in the other 2.

    Kinda remember some chat saying that an extra tier could be put on top of the west if required. There was talk of this if Scotland ever hosted the Euros or whatever. Capacity could go to approx 30k.

    How about the East is renamed to the Petrie Stand?

    You mean cheap?
    Or one that refuses to be blown away when all kinds of stuff gets chucked at it?
    Or one that can look the other way when things are going badly?

    Discuss. ....

    Full size indoor pitch at East Mains before we do anything else to the stadium.
    That's not going to happen as we are going to be leasing part of Heriot Watt along with Hearts, SFA and SRU.
    Didn't know until last week that there has been a massive building project which is going to be the biggest complex in the uk.

    Seemingly out of this world..!

    Our FIFA Grade 2 Stadium (the only one in Scotland out with the Grade 1's in Glasgow is looking fine IMHO!

    20k plus and our own training facilities.

    Unlike others in Scottish football!

    I am very proud of our Stadium!

    That was Petrie's 'Raise the Roof' idea.

    Why the hell would you spend 5 million quid on a training centre and whatever it costs a year to run it and then rent somewhere else ?

    Like a full stadium for each fixture, like what they broadcast at the PBS, before filling in the corners.

    That's what I thought as well. Probably because it will have a full size pitch for training in the winter?

    Any team can rent the facilities. Suppose hibs will want to occasionally have a full sized indoor pitch to train on during bad weather, no need for us to be wasting money on one at East Mains.

    They've seemingly signed up to have a certain amount of time. The SFA, SRU and Hearts will have offices there but I'm not sure if Hibs will.

    Don't suppose we will need offices there when we have East Mains, makes perfect sense to use this when it's in Edinburgh and easy to get to for all players

    No doubt Hawrts will be claiming this facility as theirs.

    The pitch at the edges is really tatty. Patches of grass growing on the edges and the touch line is not neat and tidy.

    Sort it out Petrie!!!!

    I think the stadium capacity should be increased to trump the new look tincastle by +1.
