east stand re build pics

[matty_f]

The latest set of photos really capture just how massive that stand is.:thumbsup:

It's looking terrific already, will be brilliant when it's all done.

Hibs have come a long, long way from the days when I first started going to the games. I really hope that we grow from the foundations of a fantastic stadium and first class training centre to develop a team on the pitch worthy of the set up.:agree:

Hope so Matty. Just posted about Rodders and lets hope we can get a couple of players in that will take us on to the next level. For me no less than 4th next season and very good cup runs.

Someone seems to have given them the day off today - which is a shame, as I was hoping on my day off to get access through one of the gates, which I haven't had for a few visits now.

So no real progress on what has already been posted over the weekend.

Anyhow....I thought I'd try to find different viewpoints....

how come i cant view pictured from work now since it changed to this stupid new look :grr::grr:

[NAE NOOKIE]

As I was up in Edinburgh this weekend, I had to take a look. (picked up the mint top whilst passing:greengrin)

Here is the view from Arhurs Seat
http://www.flickr.com/photos/13447143@N05/4651302482/

That just looks brilliant.

I remember my first trip to the new ibrox and I have to say when I walked through the tunnel onto the top deck of the stand opposite the main one my first thought was " how the hell can we ever compete with this !!! " even if it was ibrox I have to admit it was awe inspiring.

But I have to say, looking at that picture and the others posted here that we are not far away from it. ER may not be as big, but by the looks of it it will be every bit as good, if not better.

Cant wait to be inside with hopefully a full house sometime soon.

But is it the same height as the stuff at the Links? :bitchy:



Never mind the grass at the Links - it's vital that the grass on the pitch at ER is EXACTLY the same length and type as the grass on the practice pitches at East Mains.

It will be TOTALLY COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE to have the players training through the week on a pitch that has more (or less) grass on it than the pitch they play on on match day.

IT'S SMALL DETAILS LIKE THESE THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

Great pics mate, I have to ask do you know why the steel work is two different colors of green

[hibs0666]

Six roof struts are now up, so it looks like all the roof steel will be up by early next week.

[Leithenhibby]

Celtic are getting a part of the new stand, and didn't like it the hibs shade o'green..:devil:

[Disc O'Dave]

Great pics mate, I have to ask do you know why the steel work is two different colors of green

Cheers bloke,

My guess is that no one sub-contractor could manufacture the full requirement of struts in the timeframe required, so there were two different companies involved, and the shade of green wasn't strictly specified.

It seems convenient that the first 10 vertical struts were dark green, and then the rest were lighter green.

looking closely at them yesterday, you can see quite a lot of handling damage to some of them, so they were probably always due to be re-painted anyway.

[Kojock]

I can only count 18 struts....10 dark 8 light :confused:

And so to tonights pictures....

Firstly, a big thank you to the chap who kindly helped me get my lardy butt through a wee gap in the fence to get some closer shots - apologies too, as in my ignorance, I forgot to get your name.

Also, I would have been more intrepid, had I not had the family waiting in the car while I "stopped for a few seconds to get an update shot" on our way to feed the ducks at Lochend Pond.

Of course, I also have the upmost respect for site health and safety, so at no point even considered venturing onto the structure :wink:

There is a weed in Lochend Park on the way up the road that's a very pale type of green by comparison.

Cant Hibs do anything right?

[sahib]

I have just studied latest pics and concluded that the new stand is not engineered to take fans bouncing up and down or even standing and shuffling about through out games. People will probably have to remain seated at full time and be called out in rows to leave or go to the food counters and toilets at half-time.

It is very slightly raised - the wide angle lens does tend to exaggerate curvature etc at the edges of the frame.

[Disc O'Dave]

view from the West Stand - again, bear in mind the wide angle lengthens perspective, so it looks more "imposing" in the flesh...

I guess that it would have to be back a bit to allow for the widening of the pitch no? I'm sure they will fill the corner(s) with something.

Fabulous pictures again from Dave. I was just wondering if, purely in the interests of balance, there were any pictures of the Hearts exciting new development, which, as I understand it, features hotel and retail outlets as well as a new three-tier stand.

I was just wondering how that exciting project was bounding along, but was then surprised to see no photos or references whatsoever on Kickback. Surely an oversight!

I suppose it's a bit immature to so concerned with infrastructure, but unlike them we don't have the benefits of anticipating signing World Cup stars (it is THIS World Cup they meant, wasn't it?)

Anyway, it'll be great to see Edinburgh progressing towards TWO top-class footballing arenas.

So any pics?

I couldn't find any either DBS and since I live over that side of the City and seen no sign of their mega stadium development I've come to the conclusion that it must be being built off site and will be transported into place using a giant crane or a number of Chinook helicopters.

Many thanks for that. I'm a bit worried though that the structure, which was demonstrated as considerably bigger in the plans, now only seems to be the same height as the old asbestos stand?

Still, one supposes most 'big teams' like to retain a filthy nineteenth century death trap as part of their integrated stadia, in order to preserve the character of the place.

They're the same as the West.

No they're not. They are a lot bigger and will detract from the look and atmosphere IMO.

The gap to the south stand from the new stand is considerably smaller than the one that existed between the terracing and south stand. I didn't hear any complaints about the location of stands way back then. :confused:

[steviecarnie]

Just been down at my mates who stays over from ER and can see between the West and South from his room, the pitch is coming along brilliantly, looks like a cricket pitch at the moment with lucious green expanse over in the corner by the FF & East with most of the pitch not far behind, the one area of concern tho - between the West and South there is no grass at all, and i seem to remember this being a problem before?

also there is a strange walk way been built between the FF & East with walls up about half a metre and its not straight either, kind of snakes between the two stands. (i hope that come across well looks a wee bit like and S but sideways if u get me)

other than that looking fantastic, with the roof struts almost done now (only last 2 bays of concrete to do) started building the side of the stand at the FF end as well.

Good work sir.

[Aubenas]

Don't understand this about the gap. Was down last week and paced out the gap between new east and south. It was equivalent to a space for two vehicles to pass - maybe 20 feet. I would imagine this would be minimum for the mandatory 'vehicular access'. It didn't seem excessive and I'm sure there are suitable plans for the space; can't see Hibs spoiling the finished look for something as small as this.

[sahib]

The gap to the south stand from the new stand is considerably smaller than the one that existed between the terracing and south stand. I didn't hear any complaints about the location of stands way back then. :confused:

The gaps are going to suck any atmosphere right out and it will be lost in Lochend park, possibly never to return.

I'm sure we can all agree that the stadiums with the best atmosphere are the ones that are fully enclosed.

Difficult to judge because, with the bottom 5 rows sunk into the remaining mound of the old terrace, if you measured the height of the new east at the back it WOULD be shorter than the others, but it still reaches the same height (cos it's built on a mound).
Maybe looks shorter in length because the final section at the FF end isn't in place yet?

Calm Roxy, calm! Not aware anyone is making a drama out of it as most of the critical posts are obviously tonque in cheek. I personally only pointed out the stand was indeed stepped back, hence the spaces being larger. I mean, so what? Theyre nowhere as big as Ibrox's were for example.

Surely the main thing is, it looks bloody marvelous! Ooops, sorry the greens don't match :rolleyes:

Oh and thanks too, to all the guys keeping us up to date via hibs.net and the Bounce. If I have a tiny wee quibble to direct at our great club. Why in this day and age have you not set up a live-cam from the west stand? In fact we had one when we built the west! A still pic every few days is a bit naff lads.

Still think your ****ing brilliant though! :notworthy:

The stand looks very open right now, but once the sidescreens are erected and the roof's on it'll look a lot more closed-in. I agree that ideally it would be better if the pitch were entirely enclosed, but I'd say that the atmosphere or lack of it will depend on the people in the stands; the latest pictures of the stadium suggest to me that there'll be no excuse for a lack of atmosphere or noise in the ground next season.

I walk past the new stand every day but I just drove up St Clair street and believe me, to get the true perspective of the size and beauty of the thing you should stand at the bottom of St Clair - it really is breathtaking.

[Dashing Bob S]

Loving the retro look and feel of that bad boy. If you didn't know better it looks for all the world like a ramshackle asbestos-ridden heap of ****** :agree:

Let's hope the new stand matches the old one with plenty of asbestos. Indeed it's a national scandal that the Gorgie and Wheatfield stands don't have any. I think it shows today's Yam is being mollycoddled. The classes of '18 and '45 would never have put up with breathing clean air as they built an empire and saved the world from Nazi tyranny. Look at where this featherbedding leads, the snivelling little pansies of 86 who openly cried like little girls over the result of some silly football games in Dundee and Paisley which escape me, and the callow enuchs of today who bend over for some east European despot.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Just seen the stand in real life today. Looks steep and from St Clair street looks the business.

The gap between the South & East does look a wee bit bigger than I for one would like, but should be better once the ends are on the stand. I wouldnt think it would break the club to fill the gaps from ground level to the top of the stands, but if it wasnt in the original or amended plan Hibs would have to get planning permission for that.

Still, its a minor gripe against what looks like being a fantastic ground to watch football in and which should have a cracking atmosphere, gaps or not.

By the way ... Was chucked off of the building site in the most polite way I have ever been chucked out of anywhere by one of the construction workers.

There will be corner infills but from the planning its hard to tell if the infills (prob plastic with pictures of past players etc) will start at ground level to half way up or half way up to the top???

I still dont know whats happning with the segragation fence inside the east, its straight down the middle and can surely only be for other teams playing at e.r, semis, nationals etc.

If the tache thinks, the world stops.

Microrib cladding is going to be used. Looks like to half way up hight of the East (see here (http://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/portal/getEdmDoc?docid=56766552)). Looks like for only corner of East and FF just now.

[Hibby70]

My understanding is that the cladding is just between FF and East and its function is just to stop people looking in from the outside as opposed to any atmosphere or advertising benefit (although it may prove beneficial for both).

no its right next to the pitch and is no more than half a metre high

I've been told by the club its going to the level of the split of the two tier stands.

It cant be higher as the structures would have to be strengthened to take account of wind. This would be too expensive to make it worthwhile.

It was said at the Listening Forums that the price of putting in screens is huge and therefore not cost effective. As was filling in the corners with seating, so they're putting in the cladding in the corners to allow atmosphere to be maintained a bit more, and to give more advertising space to sell.

There's already enough people of here moaning about us not investing enough money in the squad without us spending hundreds of thousands on a giant telly instead :greengrin

The way it's progressing, and depending on the fixtures, I think it might well be ready for our first home game this season. I'd be very surprised if there's not an incentive for the builders in there to have that done.

Jamie, is that honestly what the pitch is like just now? Or has it been photoshopped or something.

I would be over the moon if it was real!!

Yeah, it's real. If you look at the first of SC07TY's pics on this page you can make out where the photo has been taken. It looks fantastic :thumbsup:

That looks great

[Steve-O]

Doing one in Auckland at the moment (50 inch screens) 8 wide x 8 high which is costing circa $1m + NZ including sound system.

What's that for mate?

Still, $500,000 - once advertising etc on it is taken into account, it's not really a HUGE amount overall.


dont think your allowed to show the game in real time. as its a distraction to the players and referee

Game is on in real time at Ibrox I'm sure :agree:

[ronaldo7]

I believe part of the seating deck is to be made available for our Euro game(s).

Sparks already working on the inside of the stand:agree:

[Sir David Gray]

Game is on in real time at Ibrox I'm sure :agree:

If I remember correctly from last season, I'm sure the game is on in real time on the big screens at Parkhead. At Ibrox, they only show goal replays and during the game, only the score is displayed.

I could be totally wrong, though!

[Baader]

Pitch looks superb! Well done Petrie for hopefully getting it sorted - it is after all, the most important part of a football stadium!

Deek should have a bit more cash in his pocket next season!

She'd get boabied though eh!?! Would make her dig with her teeth while I rammed her from behind!!! :greengrin

[Keith_M]

The wee bit concrete where ma seat's goin is getting wet cause there's nae roof. Imagine designing a stand wi nae roof!!

Petrie, get it sorted.

You done a Risk Assessment?

[hibs0666]

Seems like there is only the end roof strut to be put into place and that will be the skeleton of the stand pretty much complete. :thumbsup:

Commercial Project in Central Auckland, the client wants a huge screen in the 12 storey atrium to show the Rugby World Cup Games Live - should look amazing once completed.

I managed to get exclusive access to the seating deck. Worryingly, and in spite of best design practise, it seems there will still be two or three seats with a restricted view......

that must be pretty high up? can be only reason why petrie hasnt sent a women into give it a dust :greengrin

[Dashing Bob S]

On that note, what happened to the East's pillars? I got so enthralled watching 'The Scheme' that I bought myself a new 70 inch LCD plasma screen, but I find it a bit too bright and overbearing. It would be nice to get a pillar installed in the front room, so I could duck and dive, thus recreating the unique atmosphere of the East (when it was the East!!) in my own front room.

i heard dalkieth demolition had stolen them, painted them maroon and had presented them to hearts as a gift to help shore up the crumbling main stand.........since its gonna be around for a long long time to come.

[MacBean]

I know Mikey has the timelapse movie pieced together. would be good if someone could do a video for youtube or something of all the photos we have posted up here once the stand is complete as there are some crackers and good to get the development of the stand at different angles.

Just found this site on restricted view seats. My favourite one is the CAGE post #45 :shocked:

Pity we didn't have all this fancy technology generations ago. It would be fascinating to have a webcam on the Asbo stand at the PBS to record the momentous changes that have taken place there over the decades.

They had one, Bob.

It was stolen.

I would have thought that a time lapse camera would be more appropriate.

One picture every five years?

Still waiting for the last roof strut to go up, but the guys were putting on lots more of the support framework for the cladding and the roof.....

since i wasnt going to HOH tonight i decided to take the time to go to ER and head up arthur seat.

despite almost killing myself several times (don't wear trainers) i managed to get a good few angles of the stadium and it looks brilliant. I really recommend to anyone to get up
there and have a look from there. the view is sensational.

Here are a selection from the 50 odd pics i took:

looks a massive gap compared to the west to FF/South. hopefully the cladding will work and keep the sound in.

Which will just be the steel "bar" at the end supporting the uprights I think ?

[GreenCastle]

Thanks for those pictures :thumbsup:

It looks like the South / East corner is pretty close (enclosed) - where as the North / East there is more of a gap.

Hard to tell really as the final sides of the stand aren't on yet.

Either way it still looks amazing and all the tourists heading up Arthur Seat will get a great view! :agree:

[HibeesLA]

Looking at the South end of the Roof, would agree that it's the steel bar that joins the roof with the side cladding. Amazing how better it looks each day, even with just things like the extra framework going on the roof and North side.

The days that they start the exterior cladding and the day that the first seats are installed are what I'm looking forward to seeing.

Many thanks to everyone that's posting here and on the Bounce.

[SquashedFrogg]

Managed to sneak up Gorgie last night and check out the progress of their new stand.

I have to say it's coming on a treat!
