Did we no have something like that between the dunbar end and the terrace? where Bill Barclay used to spin his vinal?
Bit before my time!!



Wasn't there a TV box between the old West and the F5, around the time the stands behind the goals went up?

Minimum of 150 VIP secured parking and 400 buses in the vicinity of the stadium

How many spaces are there in the car park, and where could you park 400 buses near easer road?

[linlithgowhibbie]

400 buses at 50 fans in each equalls 20,000, thats the total capacity. Would never need that many, even for two teams from outside Edin.

Buses could be parked along London Road, Regent Road, Leith links etc both roads are huge. As for car parking spaces, there is plenty around Easter Road and the club car parks.

club car parks??

we dont even own the one behind the West, thats norton parks - as it states on the gates in a stern way "No Hibernian Football Club Parking Permitted". although we must have an agreement for some of the space. but definately not 150.

Are hibs looking to go for cat 3/elite? Or are these just musings? Anyone have any clue what adding the corners in would add to capacity?

[Big-Si-1875]

That land where the old bowling green is, would make a semi decent coach park, maybe not with a capacity for 400, but plenty of room there.

Primary Response: PETRIE! GET IT SORTED!

Reasoned Response: They look darker because over time due to UV exposure, people sitting on them etc. the seats in the other stand will be lighter so in fact they are not darker, the other seats are lighter, I may be talking absolute rubbish though.

Its not a walkway.

When you come in at the entrances to the seating decks, you will come in and either go down a couple of steps to access the bottom 4 rows, or turn around and walk up the stairs to the seats in the stand. The plans have never shown a walkway as wide as the TINY one:greengrin

It does look slightly strange being that wee bit further away from the two end stands but I suppose we had to take the oportunity to be fully complaint on pitch size and run offs.

How expensive would it be for at some point in the future to add more width to the South Stand so that it fully reaches the East, thus giving us a more balanced looking stadium, more seats and perhaps make it a squared off corner not diagonal as it currently is.

[Jones28]

I dont get people complaining or even suggesting changes for the future. Just look at the stadium, it's the best outside Glasgow! Why do people want symetrical stadiums anyway? Adds a bit of character and makes it even more unique imho

[07hibee]

Petrie was in last week and had some high level services moved to a lower height,the reason being he plans to build a hotel in the north east corner with rooms along the inside of the east stand at high level.

Wast e of time and money IMO, the reason the stands are angled as they are is because of the layout of the surrounding area. Do do what your proposing would not only involve bulding another section onto the end of each stand Hibs would have to purchase additional land around the stadium as well as re-routing Albion road to fit in the missing corner of the FF stand.

Yes the n/e corner would be the entrance building,buts theres no need to buy more land or build in the south east corner,also stands are angled so you can see in front of the person in front of you.

[marinello59]

So Rod Petrie decided on a whim to change the design. Aye, right. There are ways to maximise the profitability of 'spare' space in a Stadium but a hotel isn't one of them.

All thats needed for access to the seating desk is a single corridor at the bottom level of the stand, put a ceiling about 10 feet in height in and you could easily fit reasonably sized rooms in above this :agree: there is a photo earlier in this thread taken from the end of the stand looking in that illustrates the space quite well.

I can understand your doubts,but im not a jambo at the wind up mate ,all services are to be kept under 4m approx,leaving at least double above that,granted its a wedge shape,but theres room for a corridoor and rooms.

[Barney McGrew]

its not rubbish mate,I was there ,theres room for a corridoor with rooms at the back of the stand,

There was intentionally space left in the new East Stand design to put in a future fit out for conferencing/hospitality etc., and that was disclosed at the listening group on the new East. Both Scott Lindsay and Fife Hyland also said that there had never been a plan for any kind of hotel development, and there was no intention on looking at it in the future.

New build hotels also need to have certain numbers of car parking and disabled parking spaces adjacent to them (one space per room IIRC) and there's no room to build them into any scheme given the limited space on that side of the ground.

My guess is that any movement of services will be to ensure that any future fit out for conferencing etc. (as above) costs as little as possible. If we're paying for the services now, they might as well be in a position where they won't have to be moved/extended in the future should they ever be needed.

all the matchday facilities will be positioned on the ground floor concourse in between the entrances to the seating deck, have a look at the top picture here to see the layout (http://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/portal/getEdmDoc?docid=54110524&ext=pdf)

What's being said is that the height of everything, including these facilities, is to be restricted to a maximum of 4 metres so the space above this height in the stand can be used for other things....like a hotel or conference rooms etc as have been discussed above

they must have taken some down then cos i passed it about 20 minutes ago and i reckon there's about two blocks have been filled :greengrin (sorry for bein a dick :wink:)

To be serious though, i pass it on the way home from football every week and as much as i thought it looked great i thought a few on here were exaggerating a bit, however seeing it with seats in puts into perspective the size of it, if we can get a team on the park that fills that stadium it's going to be absolutely amazing, and i've no doubt at all that the board never built this with it lying empty in mind, i really expect the club and team to go from strength to strength now, finally we're genuinely in a position to speculate to accumulate, we weren't before as no matter how well we did people just wouldn't go and sit in the South.

Exciting times ahead for the cabbage me thinks :agree:

To be serious though, i pass it every week on the way home from football every week and as much as i thought it looked great i thought a few on here were exaggerating a bit, however seeing it with seats in tonight puts into perspective the size of it, if we can get a team on the park that fills that stadium it's going to be absolutely amazing, and i've no doubt at all that the board never built this with it lying empty in mind, i really expect the club and team to go from strength to strength now, finally we're genuinely in a position to speculate to accumulate, we weren't before as no matter how well we did people just wouldn't go and sit in the South.

Exciting times ahead for the cabbage me thinks :agree:


:grr:

:wink: aye its well impressive....it may be that some of the blocks have seat pillars in but not the actual seats :dunno:...i was driving and attempting to keep on the right...

[down-the-slope]

Inc. Seat backs?

as far as i could see while driving...still men working on it...not real tradesmen still woking at that timer

[brydekirk]

just had a look on the bounce. theres 4 sections of seats nearly done.:thumbsup:

[IWasThere2016]

its not rubbish mate,I was there ,theres room for a corridoor with rooms at the back of the stand,

Well Hibs haven't told the bank or the surveyors about that .. the recent valuation for the debt facility has NO reference to any hotel

Thanks guys - continues to look amazing.

I don't care if it doesn't fully line up with the South or North or it's a little further back than the West - it's going to look amazing once all the seats are in and we are going to hopefully have a fortress to play in.

There was intentionally space left in the new East Stand design to put in a future fit out for conferencing/hospitality etc., and that was disclosed at the listening group on the new East. Both Scott Lindsay and Fife Hyland also said that there had never been a plan for any kind of hotel development, and there was no intention on looking at it in the future.

New build hotels also need to have certain numbers of car parking and disabled parking spaces adjacent to them (one space per room IIRC) and there's no room to build them into any scheme given the limited space on that side of the ground.

My guess is that any movement of services will be to ensure that any future fit out for conferencing etc. (as above) costs as little as possible. If we're paying for the services now, they might as well be in a position where they won't have to be moved/extended in the future should they ever be needed.


that may be your guess but,Petrie said a hotel

It's not a guess thats what was said. I was there too.

IIRC there was a smirk when this was mentioned and we were advised Hibs were a football club not a hotelier. Changed days eh? :greengrin

[Hibs90]

The seats aren't the right shade of green :grr::greengrin

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

when you look really closely at the pitch there is still a good bit of growing to go. Plenty time for it to get to that pitch perfect condition for our Euro game though :agree:

Should these bloody birds not be getting chased off the pitch, stop them eating all the seeds. Mibbe if the pitch gets all bu99ered up this season we can blame it on the birds.

[CMac1988]

Should we have got something like HIBERNIAN or HIBS written with white seats?

Nah, but I mentioned before that the Puma logo would look quite smart. Too late now though as they would have used white seats to make up any kind of lettering or logo.

Looks rather bril the way it is though. :thumbsup:

[RoYO!]

I'm delighted they kept them all green. my seats are in now too :D

I think in fairness, the true test will come when we see how close we get to filling it.

I've been all for it but getting the stand built is just the beggining, filling it will be the real achievement

[MrSmith]

Very true but, do you not get the feeling, due to this thread and comments left, that it will be easily filled?

I have a right good feeling about Hibs this coming season, not just the team on the park, the whole of the Hibs family.

I have a right good feeling about Hibs this coming season, not just the team on the park, the whole of the Hibs family.I think there will be a "novelty" factor ..folk will want to be in it for the first time & quite right too ..its looking & is gonna be fantastic ..however, its all up to the team on the park ..good football may = more bums on seats ...**** football like we experienced at the end of the season may leave the new East looking pretty sparse ...i really hope Yogi gets the team motoring & we can see the East bouncing week in week out ..:agree:

[RoYO!]

did they not reckon that by the europa league home tie they would have 50% of the seats in?

thats 25 days or so from now, could see them having them all in by then :thumbsup:

[NAE NOOKIE]

Bang on.

The tache and STF have presided over an amazing era of reconstruction at Easter Road the result of which is that Hibs, at least off the park, can claim to be up there or better than any club of the same size and a few much bigger ones in the U.K.

But, like you say, the real test is still to come which is consistantly putting bums on seats.

To my mind, if every time Hibs run out at ER for a bog standard league game there is 6,000 in the East, 5,500 in the West and 2,700 in the FF .... a total of at least 14,200 home fans at a normal game then its job done as far as I am concerned.

Mind you, that gives the Tache between 3,200 and 4,200 regulars to find.

In Tache we trust :cool2:

[Jack]

I don’t think there's going to be much of a problem getting the East [nearly] filled. From what I’ve seen on here and heard around the place there's the folk from the Old East staying put and a reasonably large contingent coming from the other stands ‘back to where they belong’. Finger in the air calculation 4,500 – 5,500 of the East seats will be filled for an average game.

On the other hand these folk in the East will be looking over, and along, to the other stands which will be a good bit emptier than they have been over the last few seasons.

There's obviously good and bad points to this.

As an East Stander I hope the atmosphere of the new East can take the best of the old and multiply it.

As for the other stands, if they didn’t make much of a racket before I fear that with a few thousand of the folk who were more likely to make a noise missing it could be very, very quiet. Please prove me wrong West Siders and Famous Fivers. :greengrin

On Sturday I packed the whole family in to the car, drove to Edinburgh to buy my son the new Hibs strip. Went to the shop and ended up spending £65 on him for various things. We were looking at the new stand and I think it looks pretty awesome and makes you very proud to be a supporter of a club who can build a stadium like ours will be when finished. Al this not long after completing a £5m training centre. Well done Hibs, no matter what others may say, we are the envy of at least every club outwith the OF and maybe them too.

Roof should be finished by tomorrow night, would imagine all the seats by the end of the week. Will it really not be ready for the first home game of the season in 6 weeks time.

Without trying to put a downer on everyones enthusiasm i think there is still a way to go. The exterior of pretty much any new building project really do come practically flat packed now, the external work and getting the basic structure in place is the easy bit. All the internal jobs are the bits that take time. Wiring, painting, plumbing, fitting the floodlights into place, catering facilities, fire proofing etc etc. We also can't use the stand until a saftey certificate is issued so whilst i do think we will be up and running earlier than expected i'm not so sure it will be quite as soon as a few expect.

Along the same lines, I've also wondered why the South has skylight things in it but the FF doesn't?

Welcome back. I hope your trip to Orkney was good and you managed to stock up on the finest black pudding known to man and a few bottles of Highland Park which is right up there with Cardhu as my favourite whisky. You will be pleased to know you have brought some Orkney weather.

Cos the East and FF get sunlight, whereas the West and South don't, especially in Winter.

Plus that perspexy stuff is dead pricey too.:wink:

To let sunlight reach the turf. The FF, being to the North, never blocks the sun so the roof being solid makes no difference.

Great pics again Dave, i have a question.. why have they not installed seats into the sides of the section yet? Or are they just getting to that..

I guess they are working from the middle outwards for each section, so there's more room to work, and they only got that far by clocking off time.

Mine is in though :thumbsup:

I heard that the intention is to close them off with screening walls high enough to give a sense of enclosure to the stadium.

I seem to remember some drawing being posted, but I can't be bothered to go looking for them.

A wall of Cladding to a height of about 10ft i believe.

Nah! Wee bit higher than that. 10 metres (approx.33ft) (http://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/portal/getEdmDoc?docid=54619956&ext=pdf). About half the height of the stand.

[RoYO!]

Faqs...

[--------]

Sounds Classy:bitchy:


Nothing wrong with the idea, IMO.

Screening walls high enough to enclose the pitch and provide security. We can't afford to close off the corners with seating or with replay screens, and if the screens are of a similar appearance to the backs of the stands (which is what I understand to be the case, it'll look fine.

A 10-metre wall's a fair height, remember.

[MyJo]

Sounds Classy:bitchy:

Jeez your just a little ray of sunshine aren't you......not happy with the players we're signing or the stand we're building, its a wonder you even bother to support Hibs the way you go on sometimes.


Nah! Wee bit higher than that. 10 metres (approx.33ft) (http://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/portal/getEdmDoc?docid=54619956&ext=pdf). About half the height of the stand.

:doh: :greengrin feet, metres its all the same thing really :Ummm:

Sorry Mr Chuckles:greengrin Have you seen cladding, it looks ****:boo hoo: Don't see that making a comment on cladding has somebody questioning why you support the team:bye:

As for players who said I wasn't happy with players we're signing?:confused: On another thread I was suggesting getting our new first teamers in before the Europa Cup game that's all.

It's a wonder you bother to come on Hibs.net if you only expect to speak to people withe the same opinion as you. I'm sure you've probably been to ER and had people around you with different opinions, positive and negative .

[Keith_M]

I guess they are working from the middle outwards for each section, so there's more room to work, and they only got that far by clocking off time.

Mine is in though :thumbsup:

Dave, do you work at the stadium? Or do you know someone on the construction crew?

I've been wondering for a while how you get such good access.

[We done it Dad]

I was at the stadium this afternoon and it looks absolutely amazing.
Lets wait until it's finished before we start moaning about things that will probably be OK.

[Disc O'Dave]

Dave, do you work at the stadium? Or do you know someone on the construction crew?

I've been wondering for a while how you get such good access.

No - I just happen to pass by on my regular journey home from work each day, but I'm getting to know the areas from out-with the stadium that you can get a decent shot from with a zoom lens. All of yesterdays pictures were from the streets around the stadium, or the flats behind the stand, which have a degree of access to a balcony area.

Occasionally the gates are open as there are still people working, and provided I am sensible, they seem to tolerate me taking a few steps into the stadium to get slightly better angles.

On the odd occasion I've been chatting to construction or security staff and they have let me right in for some great shots, but that's pretty rare....

[.Sean.]

Is there another team who have this kind of ''cladding'' in the corner? I'm interested to see if it'll look good. I'm unsure at the moment...

[Dashing Bob S]

Looking good so far, but anyone else disappointed in the total lack of asbestos in the construction? Could rebound us when Germany win the win the world cup, and a new Nazi Party sweep to power on a tide of tuetomic nationalism and decide to sort out some unfinished business. When the new luftewaffe start dropping bombs our Gorgie brethren will be safe in the Archie Leitch, planning their counterattack, while we'll be wiped out. Sort it out Rodders!

[hibeesdude]

wandered down ER today for a wee squint and i have to say **** me sideways with a broom handle thats one gimongous piece of standship :agree:

[Disc O'Dave]

From tonight (very poor light)

The roof almost complete.....

Rear cladding coming on nicely

[.Sean.]

So these 'infills' in the corners, are they going to consist of bricks and then the white sheeting as is at the back of the stands? My mate is under the impression it will be perspex, like the windshields at the ends of the stands?

Perspex would look better from the inside, but the brick/sheeting would obviously look better from the outside?

Thoughts? Information?

I wouldn't have thought so, think it is cladding

I agree, Bob.

That, and the total absence of pillars along the front to support the roof and lend the whole structure that vintage Jambo "chicken-coop" ambience.

I'd prefer if it looked more like an Anderson Shelter myself.

[bighairyfaeleith]

Just been passed and with the roof on and the seats in I have to say it looks bloody impressive. That is going to be one very imposing stand once it's complete.:thumbsup:

The view as you come up St Clair Rd is great!!!

Some friends of mine were over in Kinghorn in Fife for a short break last week, and were saying that the view from there's mighty impressive too.

Hibs are doing no bad for wee club run by peg-sellers.... :greengrin

The HoMFC Special Forces advance party will have quelled the German invasion before the luftewaffe can even get off the ground. Don't stress.

I certanly don't want a stand that looks like a brick/sheet house!

[Wilson]

Ha ha - very good :thumbsup:

Seriously though the stand is looking smart. The club have done their homework with the consultation - I think the majority are going to be pleased with the results.

[LancashireHibby]

Would imagine the cladding wall in the corner would be used as advertising as with the ones that were previously at either end of the East.

I imagine the Germans would think twice about a any attack on Gorgie having lost the two previous world wars to our Yam friends.

The view when you turn the corner at St Clair is breathtaking. :thumbsup:

With that view from the tunnel, seeing 6k hibbies bouncing like ****, the players have got to be inspired as they come on to the pitch.

To answer bobs question, if the pbs stand was a bird it would be a disease ridden munter that your mother would disown you if you took home to meet her:wink:
