The coverage of this stand being built is just fantastic....:cool2:

Big thanks to everyone that has posted photos :notworthy:

[Keith_M]

Going by the progress so far, it's possible ALL the seats will be in place before the season starts. I expect, though, that there's still a lot of work to get done fitting out the inside, snack bars, toilets, etc.

Still ,maybe it could be completely open for the Rangers game, which would be an amazing achievement.



Just a shame I'll be on honeymoon that day.......

I'd be surprised all the seats aren't in by the end of next week.

[linlithgowhibbie]

Wheres the white seats that say


"We've built ours wheres yours?"
"Hibernian FC, best in Scotland"
"In Rod we trust"
"We're the Mental Hibees baby we've got class"

Feel free to add suggestions:wink::thumbsup:

Had a quick look around the stand this morning because I was in the area, unfortunately I wasn't able to get out the car to take some photos, but the stand looks absolutely terrific, and you really get a sense of what it will look like once it's completed in a matter of weeks.

The whole stadium is going to look wonderful, and anyone looking at the Edinburgh clubs objectively would put Hibernian way ahead of the Yams at this moment in time. On and off the field.

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.

What's left, the brick work and the internal fittings..will that really take another 2 months?

BBC saying that ready in 3 weeks...

Been trying to get down once a week to have look at what's happening - absolutely awesome :rolleyes:
Have spoken with the same "suit with a clipboard and drawings " three or four times and today I posed the question " Any date for completion / could we have it open for the start of the season ?"
All he would say was " ....while we are well ahead of schedule there is still some technical work to be done plus there is the granting of a safety certificate to take into consideration ............... so wouldn't like to say for sure but watch this space "
Take what you like from that !!!!!!!!!!!

:flag:

[tamsonsbairn]

I hope they are going to put a big sign that says Easter Road Stadium along the front of the stand so opposition players can see it as they run out, also the cameras if they are to be situated in the west would show it a lot. :thumbsup:

The reason that tickets aren't on sale yet for the rangers game is that they hope to have the new east open. Would be a great game to open the new stand IMO, full house & on live tv across the UK and Europe

oor wee stand opens early and the yams still have to wait another 12 months to get refused planning permission for there big pink stand. Love being a hibby:thumbsup:

That boy 'Gorgie Rules' on Pie & Bovril is a right plank, eh?

He's even got St Midden and Celtc fans ganging up on him!

That is a prime example of Yam dilusion and a total unwillingness to accept that our model is sought after and theirs is hopeless.

Even some of his Yam pals agree that we are in a better position than them.

You have to remember if you are going to submit planning permission, you might have to wait a few weeks/months/ years to get everything right. It might be taking a little longer than they first thought, but when its up, we will be so jelous, it will be creeping out from every pore.

[Aldo]

TBH i dont give a flying 'you know what' those Yam fuds think. How the hell can they comment about this when their heads are buried in the sand.

Yeah the PBS has an electric atmosphere, probably the best in the SPL, and yeah they have won 2 cups, albeit SC's in the last 40 years or so but that is that.

I support Hibs. We have an excellent training facility (ours) bought and paid for, going to have an excellent stadium, the only one O/S Glasgow which is fully Fifa compliant, very little (or managable debt) hopefully in a few years there will be no debt and a youth set up which attracts youngsters from all over the country.

All this is down to the Board and inparticular RP. It would appear as though there are alot of companies wanting to sponsor the club in one way or another....new one on shorts this season.

They can have their superb atmosphere stadium cos for me thats it (o and barring 2 good youngstersish, Wallace and Driver). I really dont know how they can sustain what they do with 15,000 season tickets or so. There will come a time when they will hit a brick wall and Mad Vlad will bail, taking all the dosh (whats left of it) with him.

Yep i agree though the noise doesn't escape much from the stadium as it's pretty enclosed, thats unless the noise flies over there asbestos ridden stand.:agree:

:thumbsup:

[--------]

I was in Leith this lunchtime and took a wee turn round Albion Place to have a look at the stadium.

Looks REALLY imposing - nearly all the seats are in and the cladding around the back more than 2/3 complete. Nothing going on today but I'd say that we're going to have a very impressive stadium indeed in six weeks' time or so. No problem with distance from the pitch, either, as far as I could see - the incline is pretty steep so everyone should feel close to the action.

Pitch is coming on a treat too. GGTTH. :thumbsup:

Make no mistake, if our stadiums were reversed in all but colour, we'd be putting up with 90 minutes of "big team big stand, wee team wee stand" for every single bloody derby.

[sunshine1875]

I see the comments about it being ready in three weeks - are there any links to this information?

For those that have bought season tickets for the East, what have the club said about the Rangers game?

[RoYO!]

It's thought that it could be done in a few weeks, but don't think there's been any official word.

As regards ST holders and the rangers game, I've heard nothing..

[Jaz]

I just hope that Hibs get the finer details right when finishing the stand and the surrounding area. And don't skimp!

Stuff like:

Hibernian Football Club written along the front of the roof of the East.

Landscape finish to the corner areas to the North and South.

Quality finish to the access areas to the Stand.

Flag poles and appropriate flags on the roof might be smart.

Trackside astro turf round the whole pitch.

Just hope we don't get a cracking new stand and get cheap on the cosmetic stuff which will make it really superb!

I definitely agree with this, although the writing would be better if it was in front of the TV cameras, which would mean on the West Stand.

[ronaldo7]

Thanks. I had it in my head that a new camera gallery was going in the east, but I probably made that up.

Their were areas set aside for the cameras for the East top and bottom of the stand, but I think the club have decided to keep the cameras in the West at this time. I think their's still areas at the back of the East for Cameras.

I think you're right, sure I seen that area the other day when I passed

[The Silver Fox]

I agree about the landscaping part. It is important that the tand is shown at it's best and it is important to get the gaps looking right. This is not expensive but will enhance the stadium.

I hope they manage to get a major sponsor in and get a name on the stand. More dosh for the Tache to wheel and deal. If it get's the title Tom Farmer which would be richly deserved then it is difficult to take that hour away for a sponsor in future.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Respect to everybody who has posted pictures on here over the last few months :top marks .

Guid stuff for all of us out of towners who cant just pop along for a decco during the week.

[RoYO!]

The hordings that are going up in the corners at the ends of the east will mean that they don't need to landscape, I would think.

There are definitely positions for the cameras in the east and I would pressume they would go there, otherwise why not just put more seats in.

I'm also a bit unsure about the writing across the top, think it can look a bit crap, specially after a bit of time.

Would like there to be iron gates at the entrance with 'sunshine on leith' or something like that. Also quite like the idea of there being a walk of fame perhaps with plaques on the footway and perhaps photos up in the stand like the captains lounge in the west

A possibility might be to rename the stadium as The Sir Tom Farmer Stadium, Easter Road (which would still allow us auld yins to refer to it as "Easter Road") while also allowing sponsorship deals relating to the four individual stands?

As I said, I took a wee turn round by Albion Place yesterday; the East looks very imposing and with a little care and attention the club will have a very attractive and impressive home stadium indeed in a couple of months time.

[Underdose]

The cameras are remaining in the west for this season at least to show of the new stand on the telly i believe :wink:

I think longterm plan is for them to be in the east though.

What level of uefa compliance are we looking at? Level 3?

[jgl07]

I would assume level three.

[GordonHFC]

I would assume level three.

30,000 seats are required for the top Elite category.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_stadium_categories

Category -4

Bus Shelters must be all-seated and have a minimum capacity of 6 in bench format;
The playing surface must be 100-110 metres in length and 64-75 metres in width with jumpers at each end;
The floodlights must light the pitch to an illuminance of at 40 watts and bulbs must be replaced immediately after each AGM;
There must be at least a single hand held video camera (for TV purpose) within the stadium;
In case of power failure each bus shelter must be flammable;
Bus Shelters can be single tier with a walkway giving the illusion that this is a two tier stand;
Spectators must be allowed to swing scarves in a rotation format above their head whilst being in window licking mode.

:wink:

[Sprouleflyer]

Had a wee gander to ER today. Got to admit the East is some stand.

Looks like all the seats are now in place and roof fully covered. They were putting up panels on the Hawkhill side of the stand and the back is about 2/3's done.

Still seems to be a bit of work required to the inside but noticed what looked like the severer extraction pipes were already in place.

The turnstiles are about 3/4's done, but they were working on that today and should be finished in the next day or two.

I would guess that when finished, there will be a ramp access to the back of the east instead of steps, no doubt to allow vehicles access to store when live games are broadcast as there is not much room at the West.

[iwasthere1972]

Thanks to all for the updates and pics but I had to pop down there to see it for myself.

Take my word for it, it is a sight to behold and I am looking forward to the "Opening Day". No reason now why the "East" can't outsing the away fans be it Celtic, Rangers, Hearts or ICT.

Well done Hibs. :agree:

Looking good, if the second leg of the European game is at ER any chance this stand could be ready in time? Sure we played a pre-season friendly a few year ago I was at against Boro and the South Stand wasn't finished but had fans in one of the tiers?

[DC_Hibs]

No reason now why the "East" can't outsing the away fans be it Celtic, Rangers, Hearts or ICT.


It's the fans who make the noise rather than the stand and it will be mostly the same fans in there next season who have been for the past few seasons so its up to them to raise the noise levels - along with the fans in the other stands of course. Here's hoping they do as the atmosphere has been pretty rank at Easter Road in recent years.

Great picture from this afternoon by the way

great pics as always dave!!

If I were a jambo I certainly wouldn't be jealous.

Because if I were a jambo I'd be mentally ******ed to the point of believing that the 51 mill stand will be better when it's up next season and in case the asbo stand is alrady superiour.

And those muppets wonder why we fail to take them seriously.

[BSEJVT]

Saw it today for the first time in a few weeks after coming back from Holiday.

Its a beast of a thing, Its huge.

Thanks for all the Photos Dave

Any chance you get one from middle of either FF or South Stand capturing both West & East? :greengrin

I am curious if the discrepancy in gaps between West & East is as noticeable as some say.

Hope they finish the landscaping and external walls etc properly as it will look the bobbys if they do.

I always felt that the old terracing protruding past the East towards the South made it look a bit ramshackle.

Thanks

It looks from that image that we'll actually have some restricted viewing seats. If you imagine that you were on the goal line and then look at where the seats behind the exit walls are, you can't see the ones at the very end, therefore I think that block may need to stand to see the goals at this end.

Have the club indicated any restricted view seating at all?

[Disc O'Dave]

Any chance you get one from middle of either FF or South Stand capturing both West & East? :greengrin

I am curious if the discrepancy in gaps between West & East is as noticeable as some say.

I think the angle I've taken it from is deceptive. Also, these seats look like the backs of them will support your lower back, so I imagine that head height would clear the concrete no problem. I'll see if I can find a better picture.

I was more worried about the seats next to the TV locations at the top of the stand. I'm about 6 seats away from one, in the back row, but again, I think we'll be ok.

Hmm, it comes up blank for me now too....

Fraid not. If I imagine myself on the goal line looking at the seats all I can see is a guy in a white coat coming to take me away.

Thanks Dave

There is a difference, but its not that bad and cladding should mask it.

Many Thanks

[BSEJVT]

I have tried but can't picture what you mean. A bit like trying to visualise curved space. What old terrace are we talking about?
:confused:

Sorry I appreciate its difficult.

If you think of the original terracing as a 30 cm ruler stretching from the FF to the South Stand.

My recollection is that the old east stand only covered say 28cm of that ruler and the remaining say 2 cm was what was left of the old terracing before that was cut off to make the new South Stand.

My point was that that that 2cm was all broken up covred in weeds and a bit ramsshackle looking.

My further point was that for the sake of a few quid they could have the whole think spruced up and integrated looking.

The devil is in the detail as an old saying goes.

Unless I'm mistaken, Dave took that photo from the path in front of the South Stand, which means he would be 5 yards or a bit more behind the goal-line?

Allowing for the run-off area behind the goal-lines, that would put the goal-line itself in line with the end of the new stand. I genuinely don't think there'll be a problem - after all, we stand up, sit down, jump up and down anyway?

Looks to me as if there are no more than 200-300 seats still to go in - the contractors are doing a cracking job.

And sincere thanks to YOU, Mr Dave, sir, for the photographs. This must be the best-documented re-build in SPL history.

Hi Ross, my original post wasn't referring to the seats at the very edge of the stand, but those seats that are right next to the entrance/exits. The concrete wall around them makes it look like you'd need to stand up to look over the top, thus giving a restricted view. However, I'm only basing this on the pictures, and given Jamie and Dave's replies, I'll take their word for it since they've been there and unfortunately, I haven't. :greengrin

I was down tonight having a look, and it truly is stunning! I went round to the South corner and it was fantastic to see how quickly its went up. What i was wondering though is whats going to be happening to the area right infront of the stand, as in currently infront of the first row. Its just mud at the moment then the pitch begins.
So will they be turfing/seeding the pitch so its closer to the East or are they putting a wall up or what? :confused:

Ticket office told me today the stand will not be ready for the Europa League game.

The club have quite deliberately stated that the stand will not be ready until into the new season, that was the original timescale and that is what they will be sticking to until the stand is absolutely 100% complete and ready to use even if it is finished ahead of schedule. The club wouldn't want to be telling fans that it'll be ready for Europa League or the first home game of the season incase there are unforseen delays and end up having to go back on what they have said.

Thats not to say that either of these dates are unachievable, but you wont hear a peep from the club about it until its 100% guaranteed.

Just been thinking a wee bit about the design of the East...the first 4 rows along the entire front of the stand are built into the ground, so I reckon it would be feasible to convert this area to a small standing enclosure at some point in the future...if it ever came up. :thumbsup:

Is the new stand 1 mile or 5 mles away from the pitch as there appears to be a minor discrepancy in the Yams perceptions.

Utter jealousy and nothing else. They have an asbestos dry rot ridden main stand and three pink bus shelters that look well past their sell by date. They haven't stood the test of time.

No plannng permission, no cash, no future. I know which team I would want to support if I was six or seven years old again.

They should be making comparisons with our West Stand which will probably be replaced decades before they finally concede that there is no way that they will get permission to replace that ****hole that they call a stand.

Jealous twats. :agree:

[Sprouleflyer]

Aparrantly our Stadium is S**te. We need to start again.

http://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index.php?/topic/75944-hobo-stand-almost-complete/

You just have to laugh at those cretins, every single one of them.

They state that we had to build it because our planning permission was running out. At least we had planning permission in the first place, I believe they are still waiting on theirs!

I liked this quote from some knobend “it’s extremely basic that's all it has to be, and building a more luxurious or nicely designed one wouldn't be cost effective” WTF!!! Has he had a look around Tynie?

Then he goes on. “They probably won't fill it often, only maybe for the novelty factor when it's first opened and maybe for the Old Firm and us when they are on a good run” What like every one else including Hearts, they seem to forget that they they only have around an average of 1000-1500 more than us and apart from the “believe” season they never fill their own ground!

Oh and this myth that Tynie has the best atmsophere! I take it the atmosphere of Tynie helped Hearts get 7th place last season? :confused:

[Steve20]

Nothing but pure jealousy. Proving once again that they are the most hateful fans in the country.

[Hibercelona]

I like this one...


Let's not show any sour grapes, leave that to them. We still have the finest stadium in the country for atmosphere. Their wonky-seated new stand miles away from the pitch and the other fans won't come close...

Well done for completing your bogey green wonky stadium.

Sour grapes much? :rolleyes:

Some classic quotes from the KickBack site, you can just taste the jealousy in the air.

1. It's only being built because their planning permission was about to run out.

Yeah, what a great way to waste £4m on a new stand just because planning permission was about to run out. A gold star for being the most doughnut in the class, now face the wall and put that cone with a D for doughnut on yer hied dafty!!

2. Don't think its that bad to be honest. Its a single tier structure which is the same as our 3 'newest' stands. The time they've taken to plan and built it has been relatively efficient compared to our decades of discussions and we still have nothing.

A grain of truth there from one of the less bitter variety. Much the same but bigger and better!!

3. While it may be totally crap looking at least its real!!!

Another example of humble pie munching.

4. Who the hell builds a stand these days with columns in the middle?
Referring to netting hanging from the roof of the stand. I'm sure it does not go hand in hand that Hearts fans are thick but this one goes a long way to disproving that myth. Takes the biscuit this quote.

[essexhibee]

Its utter utter jeleousy. How funny.

On another note does anyone know when this cladding, wall, whatever is going up between the new stands? Really curious to know what it will look like and whether it will give a more inclosed feel as i worry about "the gap".

[MrSmith]

I loved the bit under, I think it was that EEN turdboy, Mothy's post in the flashing font that said something like 75% off Stadiums! The most ironic part of that is, even if this was the case they still couldn't afford to build a new stand...Knuckledraggers..

[MyJo]

The gnashing of teeth is deafening :greengrin

Nexst they'll be telling us they didn't really want a new superstand anyway and the asbestos is classed as a "period feature" :bye:

[Rory89]

You know the type of people who sit in front of their TV saying things like "look at what she's wearing, she looks terrible" even though they're a total state themselves, I'll bet 80% of the people on that thread fit that description, going by their judgement of of our stand. The main stand at Tynie is totally **** and it'll always be there as long as Hearts are a club.

[RyeSloan]

Wow, I knew they Yams would hardly be falling over themsleves to admit how much Hibs completing our stadium exposes the total lack of develpoment at Tynie but that thread is almost too bizzare to be true!

[RoYO!]

I don't understand how they can question the design of the stand. It's more or less the Same design as their 3 without the corrugated steel! And it's not pink!

And can someone please explain to them that the stand is that far away from the pitch to enable uefa compliant run off areas pitchside. If they ever build their new stand they will have to do the same ON TOP of finding an extra 7metres odd to get the pitch wide enough, which would mean removing rows from each of the 3 current stands.

If your Reading this jambos- could you please pass that on?! Cheers :thumbsup: :bye:

[MrSmith]

Any Jambos reading this thread and have browsed the knocked-up thread should be embarrassed!

****s sake my 6 year old nephew has built better from lego...

f&ck it he built better from plasticine and green coloured paper

I think that puts any "pink bus shelter" comments to bed. Thats a mechano number if ever i've seen it.


I guess they haven't really looked at their own stands:

"Never show anything half finished to a child or an idiot" - never been so apt

[NAE NOOKIE]

My goodness. What the hell are things coming to. Some of the comments on there are just incredible. Pure bile just poured out for the sake of it.

I have never been able to understand the utter hatred that some Tynecastle fans obviously have for Hibs or anything to do with us.

By that I mean that it appears to be out of all proportion to how they see themselves compared to us.

If most of their rants are to be believed they see the situation in Edinburgh as being like that in Barcelona or Manchester or Nottingham or Madrid, where one club in the city is so massive and successful that the fans of the ' big ' club pretty well dont pay a lot of attention to the ' wee ' club.

In fact the hatred and bile of the fans of the ' wee ' club towards the ' big ' club should be to the fore. But in Edinburgh this doesn't appear to be the case, in fact very the reverse.

I suppose that the only conclusion to be drawn from this is that the fans of HOMFC dont have the class to know how fans of a real ' big ' club are supposed to act.

Dont get me wrong. I cant bloody well stand Hearts, but I am not so frenzied about it that I am prepared to go on line and spout utter drivel about them, just so that other Hibbies will think I'm a right uber fan.

Taking the p1ss out of your bitter rivals is fine, but for goodness sake put some humour, thought, or even reality into it.

:bitchy:

[SaulGoodman]

They're Yams. They're Fuds end off

[The Silver Fox]

Are you sure you are back from Orkney, Disc O'Dave? Either that or you've been grounded? Car broken down?

Looking forward to having the finest set of East Stand build updated to completion. Hibs should invite you as a special guest for the opening as a reard for keeping us all up to date.

[sixtwo]

They are very bitter indeed. We have developed the best football stadium outside glasgow. It is modern, on time and on budget.

They have an asbestos riddled pink ****hole and they dare to take the high ground???:faf:


I feel sorry for them. They are pathetic. Their club is dying in front of their eyes and they cannot see it.


Hearts were once a half decent club who had a proud scottish heritage. They are now a club with ridiculous debts of c£40m owed to eastern europeans. They have employed convicted sex offenders to their management team.

The club is on it's knees. Their stadium is ancient and not fit for purpose. Most right thinking yams knows this but hate to admit it. The jealousy is eating away at them and in a bid to rid themselves of all that bitterness and envy they relieve themselves of their angst on pathetic threads on kickback.

They are to be pitied not mocked!:wink:

[Jones28]

I pity them.

They have sweet FA to do during pre season (no European football, no club related developments and no new signings from outside eastern Europe) and to fill that void they witter on about us being the small team with a *****ey satadium and *****ey fans who will never be able to fill this shiny *****ey stadium that they have built.

I pity their stupidity, ignorance and maroon tinted specs. :yawn:

[SHODAN]

They're obsessed with us. The rampant hatred and abuse streaming from that website makes me proud not to have anything to do with them.

Ok, tin hat firmly on, but I'm in agreement with a lot of the yams in that thread tbh(about the stand not looking great, obviously ER is still lightyears ahead of their ****hole of a 'stadium').
The stand is about the most basic thing I have ever seen, and is completely lacking in character and originality.

It really does look quite cheap and nasty. The stadium would've looked 100x better had we built a replica of the west stand as opposed to that single tier thing. Being a bit of an obsessive compulsive as well, the fact that the stadium is asymmetrical due to the stand being further away from the pitch, I find really irritating.

That being said, if the atmosphere is good, and I get a few memorable European nights in there, I'm sure I'll do a complete 180.:wink:

I think it was designed as a single tier after consoltation with the fans.

It's your opinion but I think It looks the mutts nuts :agree:

here, here.. slopey, agree completely!

[Pete]

I think it was designed as a single tier after consoltation with the fans.

It's your opinion but I think It looks the mutts nuts :agree:

Exactly.

To build another west would mean the four stands would have the same design.
This way one stand is unique. The unique stand is built on a basic, single tier principle to set it apart from the others around it and it becomes the focal point of the ground.

people can look at it in isolation and criticise it...as some ****bos are doing but they aren't looking at, or feeling the big picture.

This stand compliments the others perfectly and I can't wait to see it!

[SRHibs]

Ok, I can appreciate that. But it would've been nice if the architects had actually put some time into designing a stand with a bit of character - something with some originality that actually looks like it was specifically designed for us, and had at least at least a little amount of thought put into it, as opposed to a generic, flatpack type thing.

[Peevemor]

What would you suggest?

I totally disagree with you're opinion that the East looks cheaper than the other three stands. The materials are the same as is the basic principle of the construction.

And where does "flatpack" come into it?

What a load of pish! :bitchy:

[SRHibs]

Flatpack was obviously implying that it looks cheap, which, in my opinion of course, it does.
And I'm no architect(and completely lack creativity:wink:), so I don't know exactly what I would do to give it some character, or at least I can't come up with an idea on the spot, but obviously something could've been done.

To me it looks like we've just taken the cheapest option possible and not really taken the aesthetics into account.

Whatever though, I'm still going to go regardless. Obviously the most important thing is the product on the park, and not the look of the stand I'm sitting in.:agree:

Lot's of thing could have been done - had Hibs increased the budget by 50% or given the contractors 6 months extra to do the work. However, these things were never going to happen given that neither would increase the potential income (apart from building extra seats).

Think about the other options.

We could have built a three-tier mega stand or a super-concave cop that seats 30000 people.

This stand only looks cheap when you look at it in isolation or from behind bitter maroon glasses. Aesthetics actually have been taken into account and this is meant to be a no-frills stand for the no-nonsense end it has replaced.

In context it will look fantastic and you won't have to worry!

[MrSmith]

Standing next to it...it looks fantastic!!!

[bighairyfaeleith]

I had to stop reading that thread as it beggers belief!!!

Seen the stand in person a few times and it looks great, will be even better when it's full!!

don't think the Hearts fans are bitter at all; they're just trying to save face.

Am I bovvered? I ain't bovvered.

2) Our stands are in NO WAY as poor as that cheap effort - with our split level concourse front and back, they are an excellent design.

3) They had planning permission for TEN YEARS and only built to avoid it running out. You call that efficient?

Planning was granted for the East in February 2005 - FIVE YEARS before the work started. In the meantime, the Setanta deal went tits up as did the western economy. Hibs consulted the fans, opted to go for the requested single tier option, modified the planning consent accordingly, obtained tenders and started construction.

It's now 3.5 years since Vlad first published his fancy images for the new main stand at Tynecastle. Apart from a photo of lots of cardboard boxes, nothing has materialised as yet.

Now that's what I call efficient ya fandan!

It is cheaper - for good reasons that have been explained previously.

I wanted 2 tiers initially but I am delighted with the way it has turned out. Take a bow Hibs.

Their stadium is a total dump. We should be proud of what RP and the board has done and once complete we will have an Fifa complaint football stadium fit to hold any match.

I have seen it 4/5 times in the last 4 weeks and every time i come round the corner (from what ever direction) it bring a smile to the face and i can't beleive how great it looks compared to the various rubbish that has stood on that spot the past 25 years....and just how much it makes the rest of the ground look better.

What were you expecting? The kop? The stretford end? The holte end? Wembley?

Tend to agree actually. It looks like a stand alone structure as opposed to part of a stadium and is a bit characterless. I think Hibs have missed an oppurtunity here to build an intimidating structure but at least it is brand spanking new..

Nevertheless it is done on time , in budget and should let us concentrate now on funding for the team in future years. Well done Hibs.

[RoYO!]

I don't know how you could make it more intimidating, rake of the seats? Cause we couldn't have put it closer to the pitch due to run off regs.

The fans add the character, if it is half empty it will most certainly lack character. If it is bouncing on the other hand...

[Jack]

How much different could it be from what it is? Its like most other modern stands in the world, including the Wheatfield. There's not an awful lot you can do to make it different given the 3 other modern stands that were already in place.

It doesn’t need to be anything other than basic because all the facilities that are required, or desired, in a modern football stadium were already in place in the other 3 stands – in fact there is so much space available IIRC Hibernian FC have donated some of the accommodations and office space to charitable organisations.

Its also a myth to say we needed to build it now because planning permission was running out. There are 2 things here;

Hibs would only have needed to undertake minor work on the preparation to have the planning deadline extended.

Even if the planning permission had expired it could have been reapplied for and could only have been turned down on a matter within the building regulations – which it had already passed to get to this stage. It is incorrect to say that the stand could have been objected to by the people in the flats as there would be no grounds, assuming the same plan was used, within the building regulations for them to lodge a valid objection.

Anyway all academic now as we have one of the best stadiums in the UK, fit for purpose for the next 50 plus years.

It is really sad, or should I say they are really sad, these luddites on JKB. They really are a lower form of life. The real Jambo’s I know, the majority of whom are in touch with reality, are telling me how brilliant it is that Hibs have completed their ground and how impressed they are with the fantastic stand.

Puff yur chests oot boys and girls, be proud of what has been achieved by our club. :thumbsup:

But a stand is by definition a stand-alone structure. What do expect it to look like? The hanging gardens of Baylon? the Pyramids?

If you redevelop a stadium piecemeal it is almost inevitably have four separate stands. It is not surprising that they will look much the same.

Aye. Give us the pictures back. I love seeing the progress

I cannot believe people are turning this stand into a negative. It completes the ground, makes it bigger, FIFA compliant and replaces a tip (I used to sit in it). God alone knows what people expected - Barcelona Cathedral? The Jambos are spewing - simple FACT

If anyone can name a team with a better stadium, outside the OF, then go ahead.

Finally, back to positive posts.

Great pics Euphoria, thanks for posting them. The whole stadium looks Magnificent :thumbsup:

Tend to agree actually. It looks like a stand alone structure as opposed to part of a stadium and is a bit characterless. I think Hibs have missed an oppurtunity here to build an intimidating structure but at least it is brand spanking new..

Nevertheless it is done on time , in budget and should let us concentrate now on funding for the team in future years. Well done Hibs.

Fools and bairns should never see a job half done!

And that is the only way to fully appreciate it.....I suspect most critics have not yet had that opportunity.

I have seen it 4/5 times in the last 4 weeks and every time i come round the corner (from what ever direction) it bring a smile to the face:

:top marks every time I go up to take pics I get that feeling of excitement, can't wait to be in it.

It compliments the rest of the stadium brilliantly, thank you hibs for building this :top marks

:agree:
I have only seen it in the flesh once, a few weeks ago before the HOH night. When i turned into st clair street, i had a lump in my throat. It makes you feel proud to be a Hibby.

Admins- can you please correct things here.

This thread is entitled 'east stand re build pics' .....a gross bit of mis-information

No sign of any pics in last few pages...just people talking tosh





:wink:

edit..Jae ...touche

:agree:
Less chit chat, more photies :grr:

Yeh mair photo's please.

Why this obsession with what the Hertz fans think? Did you really expect all of them to say "wow, it's a fantastic stand". Deep inside they are pissed off. Really pissed off! :dummytit::dummytit::dummytit:

Some of us remember them taking the piss out of the south stand ("bits hanging off" etc).

Wait till November. Then see what they think :wink:

In the meantime? Mair photo's :agree:

Ok, tin hat firmly on, but I'm in agreement with a lot of the yams in that thread tbh(about the stand not looking great, obviously ER is still lightyears ahead of their ****hole of a 'stadium').
The stand is about the most basic thing I have ever seen, and is completely lacking in character and originality.

It really does look quite cheap and nasty. The stadium would've looked 100x better had we built a replica of the west stand as opposed to that single tier thing. Being a bit of an obsessive compulsive as well, the fact that the stadium is asymmetrical due to the stand being further away from the pitch, I find really irritating.

That being said, if the atmosphere is good, and I get a few memorable European nights in there, I'm sure I'll do a complete 180.:wink:

Perhaps one of you could enlighten us as to how Hibs could have added character to the stand? Surely it is up to us to add the character?

Some folk will always find a way to pick holes in something positive.

And to agree with the Yams!!?? :confused::grr::bitchy:

Maybe we could introduce circus clowns and lap dancers. On second thoughts forget about the clowns as they would just be a distraction.

There will be 11 clowns on the park evey time we play the Yams anyway. Adding more would be a waste of money

I can't wait to see it in the flesh. I come home to Edinburgh on the 23rd Sept and hopefully I will get to see it from the air when my plane comes in to land on the 24th Sept. One of the first things I am going to do is take a wee trip down to ER. It brings a wee tear to my eye just thinking about it :notworthy:

[down the slope]

Can it play centre half ?.
