In additon to the new East and the corners being filled in, I am hearing we are investigating the feasibility of full covering ER with a retractable glass roof .. more 'soon' as I have it :wink:

I think the glass roof would be a right pane, Its not really earth shattering news tho as ive heard this rumour also.

On reflection...maybe we should have reflective glass to enhance the crowd.

this is a window of opportunity that hibs cant miss. Its a real reflection on how far we've come as a club since the p & d days

Hibs have historically been pace-setters in Scottish Football e.g.

Floodlights
European Football
Flair football


We are now at the dawn of a new era - the first SPL team to break through the glass ceiling that for too long has been a barrier to progress for our top clubs!:wink:

I can just see Nishy finally timing his jump correctly and getting good height only to smash through our expensive new glass dome.

Now you wouldn't believe Everest were doing that now, would you?

It will certainly give extra atmosphere in the CL games!

Imagen the bird ****.

who's this Imagen? and why's she such a bird ****?


anyway..........does this roof have to be glass? surely with the shrewdness of mr petrie a cheaper option would be to sew 2 pairs of Nades shorts together, that should be easily big enough!

:agree:

Sadly, I'm hearing the next development after the glass dome is an artificial pitch.

It will be 40% grass - eg the current pitch - 40% synthetic fibres and 20% genuine 'tache clippings :agree:

I suggest that we call it the Millenium Dome to mark the 6-2 humping of the Yams. :devil:

Will this help choruses of the sash or will it be a more catholic type of window?

Don't know about that but what I do know is that Manchester United were looking at "doming" out Old Trafford but the Glaziers weren't interested.

Will it have an extra high setting for the yams games?

Sorry but was believing it all untill TACHE clippings came up , that would make far to rough to play on (make red blaize look soft), I heard he uses a stihl saw to trim it ,can you imagine playing on even 20% of that.:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin

I think it'll be embarrasing when you have to Refract that statement when it turns out you have just been a silicon(t)

(I think glass a silicate, but why let the facts get in the way of a pun)

My brothers got his own glazing company

Rodders - a few season tickets / boxes for a couple of years - plus some cash in hand and job done ! Call me! :cool2:

We could make a few quid by putting greenhouse glass in and the pitch would look great and we could grow some tomatoes and other veg - close season. :thumbsup:
