    Agree re the elder punters and kids. Plenty of space inside our stadium.

    Looking at the location of the tent in the photo it looks ideal for me. I'm in sect 43 as well so couldnt be any handier
    Likewise! A quick crawl to the turnstile at 14:58 - sorted

    It's ideal for my seats too but I don't fancy standing holding a beer with my jacket on constantly for 2 hours. Just hope there's some tables and chairs for early arrivals. As I said it might turn out great so will give it a go.

    Just need to throw up another 400 -1000 capacity tents at another couple of corners of the ground and we are all sorted for queues and plastic tumblers. Shame about BTG. A great facility and pretty unique.

    Marquee looks really good! I am sure my dad will still find something to moan about... but that will never change! Just hope the pints are better than they were behind the goals!

    400 1000 capacity tents? Unfortunately there's only one team in Edinburgh that has 400,000 fans

    Time we were competing. Build the tents, they will come.

    Looks expensive tbh. Has the refit/ redevelopment work begun on the north? Anyone know how much hibs are getting each year for rent?

    Any chance that's where the shows are being housed for the festival?

    I'm pleased something is being done but a marquee for 400 people would suggest standing. Not exactly a replacement for most of the old guys and young kids who are regulars of BTG. It's such a shame that a modern stadium with masses of internal space resorts to putting loyal ST holders in a tent. I'll give it a go and may be pleasantly surprised, we'll see.
    According to LD there will be seating

    The same way a £14m main stand can look horrendously cheap and tacky.

    It's not been, it was apparently discussed at the working together meeting last night.

    I'm assuming it's going to be in the area where the car park is just now in the corner?

    Don't think it was announced, but mentioned on the LWT Thread I think?
    Yeah just for the avoidance of doubt I have no inside info I'm just going on what was reported on here from last night's meeting.

    Underwhelming tbh, we've got a modern stadium completely rebuilt over last 20 years yet we are putting up tents rather than having a proper space within the stadium.

    You ever had to pay for and fit out a marquee? It's mental the price of these things, but does depend on quality.

    I think its a good idea, a fan zone type thing.

    West isn't an option as that is already fitted out with hospitality and offices etc.

    South can't hold it for obvious reasons.

    FF space has been given over to other community projects, probably due to the position of the stand being on the main road and easily accessible.

    The most sensible solution would be to have the east stand fitted out with a first floor and have supporters bars put in there but that takes time and money so a marquee is a temporary solution until something else can be arranged.

    surely its better that than having nothing at all.

    How anyone can moan about this is beyond me. Great idea, look forward to a pre match pint.

    I doubt it. Alcohol sales are banned in Scottish football grounds except hospitality.
    Unless there's a rugby game taking place in the football stadium, ludicrous!

    There is proper space in the stadium - it's being used to maximise revenues for the club rather than the needs of a few hundred people once a fortnight. Clearly the club are committed to catering for the BTG crowd though and a longer term solution is being sought.

    In the meantime good on them for getting this marquee sorted.

    I'm disappointed that BTG was taken away without any real consultation but this can only be a positive thing. The club has said that they are planning on a more permanent solution but this is certainly better than nothing.

    Plus I sit in the east stand so I can stay for an extra drink before going to my seat!

    Would it not cost a bomb to retro fit a floor , stairs and supporters bars in the East?

    Like wise. I've ordered beer from a tent outside the San Siro and Olympiastadion Berlin but having one outside Easter Road is underwhelming.

    How many other grounds in Scotland offer anything similar? The club are doing well for the fans here.
